Join the Donut revolution…

Donut King is Australia’s largest specialty donut and coffee chain, serving millions of donuts every year. 

Donut King is truly an icon in the retail food market, attracting customers from all ages and walks of life and delighting them with a fun experience and delicious treats and beverages.

Donut King offers its customers both young and young at heart a range of mouth-watering donuts (cake and yeast), espresso coffee, hot and cold beverages, signature Quakeshakes, soft serve ice cream and hot dogs – not to mention hot cinnamon donuts cooked to order.
