The first Friday of June means it’s time for National Donut Day. To celebrate, head to any of these regional faves to get those delicious fried balls of dough that make mornings worthwhile.
Evanilla
Evanilla
This donut stand is located inside of the historic Broad Street Market in Harrisburg. Owner Eva Burchfield says, “People ask if I’m going to open up my own shop but I say ‘no.’ I love it here.” Evanilla (a combination of “Eva” and “vanilla”) offers up cake donuts with unique and seasonal toppings, and Coffee Toffee would be perfect with a cup of joe while shopping through the market.

Beiler's Donuts
Beiler’s Donuts
Beiler’s Donuts started 30 years ago at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, and luckily for us they opened up a shop in Lancaster two years ago. They pride themselves on serving fresh, hand-rolled Amish donuts made daily with a donut recipe that has been passed down in their family for generations. Looking to make your day extra special? Then you must try their fritters—apple or blueberry—you choose.

OMG Donuts
We've all had donuts, but have you had a Donut Milkshake? Donut crumbles, sprinkles, glaze--oh my! If you're not feeling that ambitious, they also have their yummy fluffy donuts just oozing with goodness. Know before you go: their dough is actually made out of potatoes!

You get donut nirvana called Chocolate Peanut Butter at The Bake Shoppe at Country Table in Mount Joy.

Duck Donuts
Duck Donuts is all about the made-to-order donut. You start with their signature vanilla cake donut made fresh. Next, pick a topping and then a drizzle. The best part is there are endless combinations—or, as they like to say, a “duckzillion”! You could choose one of their featured flavors or create something unique. Maple icing with chopped bacon on top is a fan favorite.

Maple Donuts
Maple Donuts
Maple Donuts has been serving up tasty balls of dough since 1946, when they opened their first store on Maple Street in York. Got a hankering for donuts at 2 a.m.? Well, Maple Donuts has you covered, as their stores are open 24/7. Their eponymous Maple-glazed is one of their most popular, and for good reason; dense, yet light, it has the perfect glaze-to-donut ratio.
