Donut King Blends Tradition and Taste in Central Florida Staple
In an area packed with fast food and franchise fare, Donut King has carved out a loyal following with its handmade donuts and family-first values.
Located in Clermont, Leesburg and Winter Park, Donut King is more than just a local donut shop. Since opening its flagship store in Minneola in late 2007, just off U.S. Highway 27, the family-owned business has grown into a community staple, drawing daily crowds with its promise of fresh, made-in-house treats and around-the-clock service.
(So many choices! And that’s just the display rack there is another entire wall of donuts behind this.)
“All of our donuts are hand made in house, fresh every day. Our wide variety is sure to satisfy every customer, but if you don’t see what you want, we will gladly make it for you,” Donut King said in a statement.
The donut case showcases a wide variety, from classic favorites like glazed to creative custom orders. But Donut King’s appeal doesn’t end with sweets. The Clermont eatery is also known for its Castle burgers, made to order and a full menu inspired by New Orleans cuisine. Signature items like gumbo, jambalaya, and beignets offer a savory counterbalance to the sugary delights.
(Little hand crafted donut men. Depending on the holiday these can be themed.)
But the real draw here are the donuts. When you take a look in a Donut King window and see all of those donuts lined up it’s hard to say no. From the first bite your mouth bursts with flavors. They are fresh and they are made with love and care. From chocolate to frosted and anything in between there’s something for everyone. The apple fritter is fantastic. There is nothing better in the morning than a coffee and a donut from Donut King.
(The dozen variety box of donuts is always a good option.)
You see the yellow boxes of a dozen donuts and you know you are in for a good start to your day. Donut King has a 4.6 star review on google with over 3,600 reviews at the Clermont location alone. If you have not had the chance to get to Donut King, it’s a local establishment and certainly worth trying out.
(Donut King donuts are very fresh and there is something for everyone.)
