Shaka Donuts

The Write-Up

The full story

Shaka Donuts pours aloha spirit into a cozy Curry Ford shop where every donut is made to order and served warm. Regulars say these are the best donuts in Orlando in their opinion, and the case backs it up: passionfruit malasadas, spicy maple bacon, butter pecan cronuts, Boston cream, and the breakfast sandwich built on a glazed donut. The room is sunny and cute inside, and locals are happy to have this one in the neighborhood.
