Best Doughnuts in Prague
A guide for all sweet tooths
While doughnuts aren't traditionally Czech, their popularity is undeniable. Locals love them, and foreign tourists who come to Prague often prefer this world-famous delicacy to traditional Czech sweet pastries - assuming that the trdelník (which, by the way, is neither traditional nor Czech) does not win this battle. We have even heard someone refer to trdelník as a doughnut with ice cream in a cone. Well... But now, forget the giant, overpriced trdelník you see at every corner. Let's talk about the original doughnuts, those with a hole in the middle and colorful toppings, of which over 10 billion are eaten in America every year.
We’ve compiled a list of the top doughnut spots in Prague where you can satisfy your inner Homer Simpson.

Oh Deer
Address: Purkyňova 3, Prague 2
Website: https://www.facebook.com/ohdeerbakery
The founder of this shop (originally called Oh Deer Bakery) was the first to introduce cronuts - a cross between a croissant and an American doughnut - to Prague. And people literally fell in love with this calorie bomb. We highly recommend the cinnamon cronut, for example. Recently, there are also new savoury options on offer. And yes, we know they're not your classic doughnuts, but we hope you'll forgive us for making this exception. Once you try one, you'll understand why.
