If you’re looking for a great donut shop, be advised that USA Today readers think Alabama has one of the best in the country.

USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice Awards has unveiled a new Top 10 ranking of the Best Donut Shops in the country. The results, organizers say, showcase businesses that “offer a unique charm and personal touch that large chains often can’t match.”

It’s a roster that spans the nation, from Blue Star Donuts in Portland, Ore., to SK Donuts & Croissant in Los Angeles to Back Door Donuts in Oak Bluffs, Mass. City Donut in Orange Beach came in at No. 2.

City Donut, located in a storefront in the Publix shopping center at 25751 Perdido Beach Blvd., is a family-owned business that assures customers that “all of our donuts and pastries are made on-site.” In addition to donuts, it serves ice cream treats and boba drinks.

The ranking is no fluke: City Donuts topped the 10Best list in 2024. This time around, Donald’s Donuts in Zanesville, Ohio, took the top spot.

USA Today’s description promises that “your mouth will water as soon as you see City Donut’s fresh offerings,” which include “traditional yeast or cake donuts that come in a variety of flavors such as Key lime-filled, Oreo-topped, and maple iced.”

The full list can be found at the 10Best website. Aside from one venue in Atlanta, City Donuts is the only Southern donut purveyor to make the Top 10. For more information on the shop, visit www.citydonutob.com.
