Where to find the best treats for National Doughnut Week

Where to find the best treats for National Doughnut Week

Although not the most traditional of British treats, doughnuts have captured our hearts over the years and are now a fixture in cafes across the country.

With National Doughnut Week impending, here are some West Midlands regions where you can find excellent doughnuts.

City Centre, Birmingham

Birmingham’s city centre has no shortage of excellent cafes to enjoy a sweet treat. However, when it comes to doughnuts, it’s tough to top the offerings of Medicine Bakery. Their giant sugar-crusted delights range from the classic, to more off-the-wall ideas like sticky toffee pudding-filled doughnuts or a champagne chocolate cronut! 

Medicine’s New Street location can be reached on our 9 Platinum, 12, 12A, 13, 13A, 126, X8 Platinum and X10 Platinum services stopping at Colmore Row.

On the other hand, Medicine’s Mailbox location can be accessed on our 82 and 87 Platinum services.

Bourneville, Birmingham

Stickie Fingers is nestled in the heart of Bourneville, offering pancakes, juices, fro-yo, and yes, doughnuts! Their menu is ever-changing day by day so you never know quite what you’ll find in this cute, little cafe. However, we can tell you the options are always incredible.

You can find Stickie Fingers’ Bourneville location on our 11A and 46 services.

Yardley, Birmingham

A quintessential Insta-worthy cafe, Phat Dough, looks the part but is more than just glitz and glamour.

You can reach Phat Dough on our 11S, 11A and 41 services.

The Pershore Road is home to many businesses, but none offer the doughnut delights of Snack & Dough. This friendly cafe serves up everything from Nachos to ice blasts, waffles, cookie dough and of course, doughnuts.
