RI Guys Donuts

99 Fortin Rd, Kingston, RI 02881

Their main location is in the URI Emporium, but their donuts and locally famous donut cakes can be found throughout the area in coffee shops and markets!  

These donuts are WICKED!  I don't think they should be called donuts, as they are on an entirely different level than donuts. Thick and delicious and full of flavor!  I'd write more words, but the only thing that comes to my mind is nom nom nom!

I highly recommend ordering ahead; it is quick and easy and pick-up is just as convenient

KNEAD Doughnuts

The reviews are off the chart for this shop!  They have so many different donuts that I suggest grabbing a few.  The Blueberry Pancake Donut... unreal!  I really want to try the Strawberry Shortcake Donut!  But don't be fooled by the name; they have far more than donuts in this shop!  ENJOY!

Allie's Donuts

3661 Quaker Lane, North Kingstown, RI

https://www.facebook.com/AlliesDonutsOfficial

Probably one of the longest-running dedicated Donut Shops in the area, boasting "Hand cut donuts since 1968," Allie's is a top pick.  With their decadent donuts and signature "made to order" donut cakes, there is no questioning why there is sometimes a line running down the street.  Definitely worth a trip!


Is anyone's stomach growling yet? Just me?

Joke answers: 

Why did the donut go to the dentist? Because it needed a chocolate filling! How do you know if a donut is feeling sad or tired? Its eyes glaze over.  What happened to the donut who played golf? He got a hole-in-one!
