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.
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!

The Cider donuts here are my favorite, but the fresh chocolate frosted ones are amazing, too! This donut shop is in the New Castle Farmers Market and is one of my favorites in the state!

The Drunk'n Baker is on Main St in Smyrna and has been drawing people into the bakery with the smells of fresh coffee and hot donuts for years. This is one donut shop that you really cannot skip.

It's worth a trip into Spence's to try some of the Amish donuts (or the mini donuts!) that are made fresh daily. Do some shopping while you're here, too - Spence's has everything you could be looking for!

Not only does Gooey Donuts serve up amazing, hot, fresh and delicious donuts every single day, they also run so many community-centric programs it's hard to keep track.

Stop by and see what they have going on!
