A bakery created by Datz which promises all things from home-made gelato to cupcakes to donuts! A new twist they recently began incorporating to their menu is the Donut Ice cream cone!

AHN Senior Grayson Garraty comments that “they change the Ice Cream flavor of the week every week, so I love going in and seeing what the new one is. I love the donut ice cream cone because the hot donut with Ice cream on top is the perfect combination!”

Dunkin Donuts, another traditional shop, is the donut shop of choice for several Academy girls because of their coffees. Dunkin Donuts offers coffee, iced tea, refreshers and juices too! If you are looking for a quick donut fix but want a well done drink with it, this is the place to go!

This shop certainly added a twist to the donut business when it introduced the Donut Burger!! This creation is composed of a delicious cheeseburger in between two donuts. The Soho Donut Company is definitely perfect for foodies who want to give everything a try!
