Doughnuts! Donuts. Do-nuts. Who cares how you spell them as long as you can eat them!
Who doesn’t love dough that’s deep fried to delicious perfection?
This sweet snack is typically ring-shaped or without a hole, and often oozing with a decadent filling. From sugared icing and sprinkles to cookie pieces and candy, there’s a doughnut for everyone.
Whether you love traditional yeast doughnuts or cake doughnuts, you can’t go wrong with treat from one of these 9 doughnut shops in Birmingham.
1. Yo Yo Donuts
Not only are the doughnuts at Yo Yo Donuts one of the best shops in Homewood, their staff is friendly and inviting! These fried bites of heaven are so pretty that you can’t help but get excited to eat them. Once you do eat them…AMAZING!
2. The Heavenly Donut Company
The name suits the doughnuts here! One bite of these handmade doughnuts and you will be in Heaven. Not only can you visit this donut shop, but you can check out their food truck around Birmingham. But, hurry! They go fast!
3. Shipley Do-Nuts
Shipley “do-nuts” will melt in your mouth. Literally. There’s so many delicious options to choose from, but folks rave over their Kolaches. Bring a dozen Shipley’s (or two!) to the office and you’ll be the hero of the day.
4. Hero Doughnuts
These doughnuts are not like the others? Why? They are made Brioche-style! They sell out fast, but the good news is that you can pre-order a random assortment of flavors.
Locations

It might be a chain doughnut shop, but the doughnuts here are OFF THE CHAIN! Our personal favorite is the blueberry Munchkins donut holes! They are the perfect, poppable treats to share with others! While you’re there, get a cup of freshly brewed iced coffee to get energized and ready to go.
7. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
Krispie Kreme is known for their melt-in-your-mouth original glazed doughnuts. You take a dozen of these to your office and you will score some serious brownie…err…doughnut points!
