Our favorite donut shop

The first week we moved here, some sweet friends brought us a dozen of some of the most delicious donuts I'd ever eaten. I posted a picture of it on social media, and all of my local friends immediately commented that it was their favorite donut shop in the area. It was a wonderful welcome to town gift, and we have never strayed since.

Donut King is a small donut shop located in a strip of shops off of Howell Branch Road in Winter Park. It doesn't look like anything fancy, but their Maple Bacon donuts in particular are to die for. I don't know how they get the maple icing just perfect, or what kind of bacon they use to add that perfect sweet/smoky combo, but it is heaven. They have all sorts of adventurous options like ones topped with Fruity Pebbles, Lucky Charms, and various other breakfast cereals, as well as candies like M&Ms and Butterfinger or sprinkles. Some of these I don't even know what they are, they just look like works of art. I'm a huge fan of their Blueberry cake donuts, and Cash even loves their plain raised. 

Definitely check them out if you are in the area. We saw a sign on the window this morning that they are now open 24 hours!
