As perhaps the most delicious holiday of the year, National Donut Day, celebrated on June 5, is a ‘hole’ lot of fun. Whether you like glaze, sprinkles, or peanuts, we’ve got you covered for some of the freshest local donut hot spots in town to enjoy this sweet holiday. While there are many great places to choose from around our coastal city, including staples like Dunkin’ Donuts at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, here are a few of our favorite donut shops and donuts to help you celebrate the occasion.
Aloha Snacks

While not a traditional donut joint, Aloha Snacks’ Malasadas make this spot a must-try for National Donut Day. Malasadas are a Portuguese donut that consists of deep-fried dough dipped in granulated sugar, and Aloha Snacks offers a choice of Nutella, ube, guava or coconut haupia fillings. For a true island-inspired treat, go with the coconut haupia — a nod to the classic Hawaiian coconut milk-based dessert.
Duck Donuts

If you’re looking for a little savory with your morning sweetness, you can’t miss Duck Donuts and their popular maple icing covered in delicious bacon. Originally hailing from Duck, North Carolina, and since setting up shop in Virginia Beach, Duck Donuts makes made-to-order cake donuts that melt in your mouth. Be sure to check out their rotating seasonal flavors as well for something new.
Sandbridge Market
Savor house-made donuts at Sandbridge Market, where these handcrafted treats are the perfect addition to a relaxing morning at the beach. Made from scratch with quality ingredients, each donut delivers fresh, indulgent flavor. Popular flavors include Boston cream, chocolate glazed, cinnamon and strawberry filled.
