National Donut Day is quickly approaching and one of a millions reason to share a ring-shaped treat with a friend, co-workers, or in keep it all to yourself. The original donut day was started by women; the Donut Lassies of the Salvation Army. These women voluntarily served doughnuts to honor soldiers during WWI to help ease hunger and boost morale. It later become a National Day in 1938.
National Donut Day is June 7, which happens to fall on a Friday this year. What is a better way to finish off a long week, then with a dozen fresh donuts? To help you find the best locations to celebrate I have put together the top five donut shops in Farmers Branch. They are all easily accessible and can be discovered on that very special day, or throughout the year when you need a sugary fix.

Location: 13150 Senlac Dr, Farmers Branch, TX 75234
Jin’s Donuts is your husband and wife friendly donut shop. Every customer walking in knew exactly what they were coming in for, the cronut and their friends the cronut triangles. These little melt in your mouth morsels had me begging for more, every thin layer of pastry cooked to perfection. The Cronut is a cross between a croissant and a donut, yes please! These are on high demand and their best seller…. trust me, I was only able to get four before they sold out! Before you go make sure to grab a coffee, theirs is freshly ground Oak Cliff coffee that pairs perfectly with any of their donuts but especially their old-fashioned cake donut.
