Over the past few years, it’s become harder and harder to track down fresh, homemade donuts in Delaware. Several longstanding bakeries have shut their doors, and even the newbies are having a hard time staying open. While it’s a great loss to the Delaware donut community, we are lucky that there are still a few old fashioned bakeries where you can find the best donuts in Delaware. Skip the chain shops and head out on this Delaware donut day trip to track them down.

Start off at the New Castle Farmers Market.

Facebook / New Castle Farmers Market There are three stops you have to make here: Dutch Country Donuts, Mini Donuts, and Stoltzfus Bakery. All three shops are known for making fresh donuts right out of the oven, and you may have to wait if there’s a line. The Pennsylvania Dutch shops are only open on Friday and Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m, so plan your day trip accordingly.
Then, head over to Newark, where you’ll find Duck Donuts on Main Street.
