DoorDash named 21 Texas donut shops to its inaugural “Top 100 Local Donut Shops” list for 2026, with most of the winners being local or family-owned businesses. The release arrives as National Donut Day is set for Friday, June 5.
Beneath the glow of counters and display cases across Texas, local donut shops are getting a rare kind of attention—one that doesn’t come from a big chain, but from a delivery platform’s nationwide ranking.
DoorDash released its inaugural list of “Top 100 Local Donut Shops” for 2026, and 21 spots went to Texas businesses. Most of the shops named on the list are local or family-owned, turning what many people treat as an ordinary morning into a weekly ritual.
“National Donut Day is a chance to celebrate the local shops that turn ordinary mornings into something special,” said Ruth Isenstadt, Head of U.S. Restaurants at DoorDash. She added that “donut shops are true neighborhood institutions that people return to week after week.”
The rankings covered 86 cities and 25 states, but Texas dominated the local spotlight with a long roll call of winners.
For Texas. the list includes: Baker’s Dozen Donuts in Cross Roads. TX; Best Donuts in Humble. TX; Busy B’s Bakery in North Richland Hills. TX; DAWN DONUTS in League City. TX; Donut House Plano in Plano. TX; Donut King #3 in Fort Worth. TX; Eagle Donuts in Crowley. TX; Earnest Donuts in Lewisville. TX; Four Seasons Donuts in Irving. TX; Jin’s Donuts in Farmers Branch. TX; Master Donut in The Colony. TX; Max Donuts in Houston. TX; Mom’s Donut Shop in Gainesville. TX; Morning Donuts in Dallas. TX; Nom Donuts in Houston. TX; Snowflake donuts in Houston. TX; Southern Maid Donuts in Humble. TX; ST Donuts in San Antonio. TX; Stacy Donuts in McKinney. TX; The Donut Palace in Lufkin. TX; and TWISTY DONUTS MANSFIELD in Mansfield. TX.
That timing matters for customers planning their next stop. National Donut Day falls on Friday, June 5, giving the rankings a built-in audience just as local favorites are being remembered—and, in some cases, rediscovered.
For shoppers looking for promotions, DoorDash’s list is also arriving alongside coverage of National Day Donut deals in 2026.
The business moment is happening in parallel with a separate set of concerns affecting Texas ranchers. who have been preparing for an outbreak of flesh-eating screwworms. Ranchers in central Mexico discovered screwworm fly maggots burrowed in their cattle in 2025 for the first time in a generation. prompting alarms for Texas cattle ranchers.
For now, the donut news offers a different kind of reminder: that local institutions can still capture attention at scale—one shop at a time.
