There’s Nothing Better Than This Mouthwatering Donut Trail In Delaware
I love breakfast and I love dessert, so it isn’t a surprise that I absolutely love donuts! I think most people are with me on that, too – it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t appreciate a fresh donut right from the oven or fryer, frosted or plain, served up with a good cup of coffee. There are great donut shops all over the state, so check out our Delaware Donut Trail and spend a day or two deciding which Delaware donut shop is your absolute favorite.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
It'll take you from Elsmere down to Selbyville, before ending in the great town of Milton.
Serpe & Sons reopened after a fire destroyed much of the historic bakery in 2015, and they're right back to serving up some of the best donuts in the state. Start your donut trail trip off right at this landmark and grab yourself one of their famous cream donuts.

Duck Donuts is relatively new to Main St. The Donut Shop is originally from Duck, North Carolina, hence the name. They are popular with the college crowd and serve up fresh, hot sugary donuts every day. They're well known for their bacon donut, so be sure to try that!
