This city is a hidden gem for donut enthusiasts, offering everything from timeless classics to creative, modern treats. Here’s a look at four must-visit spots that make Grand Rapids a donut lover's paradise.
Sandy’s Donuts, a beloved family-owned shop that’s as timeless as the donuts it serves. Sandy’s prides itself on a classic, no-frills approach, delivering award-winning donuts that taste like childhood nostalgia. With each bite, you’ll experience the kind of wholesome comfort only handmade donuts can provide. Their dedication to tradition is what keeps locals and visitors alike coming back for more.
From Sandy’s, head over to Van’s Pastry Shoppe, the oldest bakery in Grand Rapids. Established in 1929, this institution is a celebration of Dutch-inspired recipes and old-world charm. Their glazed donuts are nothing short of perfection – lightly crispy on the outside and oh-so-soft on the inside. Stepping into Van’s feels like taking a walk-through history, where every recipe tells a story.
For those seeking a modern twist, Bro’s Doughs has you covered. Specializing in made-to-order mini donuts, this shop delivers fresh, bite-sized treats topped with playful and inventive flavors. From fruity sprinkles to indulgent chocolate drizzles, every donut is a delightful surprise. Perfect for sharing with friends or savoring solo, Bro’s Doughs adds a fun, contemporary flair to the Grand Rapids donut scene.
Our final recommendation is Marge’s Donut Den, a true Grand Rapids institution. With over 45 years of history, this cozy bakery is more than just a donut shop – it’s a community hub where locals come to gather. Known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and wide array of donuts, Marge’s is the kind of place where every visit feels special. Their donuts are a perfect balance of traditional craftsmanship and undeniable flavor.
