So, let\u2019s dive right into this sweet, round confection with a hole in the middle. <\/p>\n<p>For National Donut Day, which is Friday, June 5, for all those who celebrate, DoorDash has a roundup of the top 100-rated small and medium-sized donut shops on DoorDash. The list includes local businesses across 86 cities and 25 states.<\/p>\n<p>To be considered for the Donut Day Dozens list, the bakery must be small or medium-sized, have fewer than 10 stores, and have at least 1,000 reviews. The shops with the highest average consumer ratings from April 2025 to April 2026 were chosen.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 21 donut shops chosen across Texas, 13 are located in North Texas. <\/p>\n<p>Sign up for the Food Alerts newsletter to get the latest stories delivered to your inbox<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re all set.<\/p>\n<p>CLOSE\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>North Texas bakeries named best doughnuts<\/p>\n<p>Morning Donuts \u2013 Dallas, TX<br \/>\nBaker\u2019s Dozen Donuts \u2013 Cross Roads, TX<br \/>\nBusy B\u2019s Bakery \u2013 North Richland Hills, TX<br \/>\nDonut House Plano \u2013 Plano, TX<br \/>\nDonut King #3 \u2013 Fort Worth, TX<br \/>\nEagle Donuts \u2013 Crowley, TX<br \/>\nEarnest Donuts \u2013 Lewisville, TX<br \/>\nFour Seasons Donuts \u2013 Irving, TX<br \/>\nJin\u2019s Donuts \u2013 Farmers Branch, TX<br \/>\nMaster Donut \u2013 The Colony, TX<br \/>\nStacy Donuts \u2013 McKinney, TX<br \/>\nTWISTY DONUTS MANSFIELD \u2013 Mansfield, TX<\/p>\n<p>A few misses <\/p>\n<p>There are some obvious big misses here.
