Run by Tanya Solares after her father’s retirement, this longtime downtown doughnut shop traces its identity to decades of family work and is positioned as a tribute to her father, Alejandro. Tanya grew up in doughnut shops and started working alongside her dad as a teen; she kept the store’s loyal clientele by preserving the recipe-driven quality that made it a local favorite and refreshed the storefront with prominent yellow lettering. The glass cases remain stocked with the classics—old-fashioned doughnuts, crullers, and bars—while Tanya experiments with playful new varieties like cookie-butter toppings, Lucky Charms, and edible glitter. The shop opens at 5 a.m. every day and closes at 4 p.m. or when sold out.
I found a new bakery in Centennial that brings light, fluffy brioche doughnuts and cookies that look more like muffin tops; Blooming Buns Bakehouse has taken over the former Retro Bakery space on North Durango Drive and Farm Road. The star of the show is the brionut, a hybrid doughnut with a brioche base — flavors include yema caramel honeycomb, berry bliss cheesecake, chocolate velvet mousse, creme brûlée, ube coconut cream, and plain sugar — and the over-the-top flavors come filled, or more like stuffed, with a light cream and decorated with a strawberry, wedge of honeycomb, or Oreo cookie depending on the flavor. The cookie buns are massive mounds of dough available in classic chocolate chip, walnut chocolate chip, triple dark chocolate, or ube roasted almonds. The bakery also offers ube ensaimadas, beignets, dark fudge crinkle cookies, salted duck eggs, and more, and a short coffee list features hot drip, New Orleans-style cold brew, Vietnamese-style cold brew, and iced dulce de leche honeycomb. Customers can order online in advance.
A northwest favorite with early lines for apple fritters, old fashioneds, and crullers. Included on Eater Vegas maps and scored well in the Review‑Journal’s taste tests.
Chef Robert Teddy’s brioche‑based shop riffs on dessert flavors and offers vegan, gluten‑free, and keto varieties. The Review‑Journal featured its cube‑shaped doughnut in 2025.
A 24‑hour counter serving raised rings, crullers, and fritters that locals swear by. Eater Vegas added it to the city’s best doughnut list in July 2025; earlier tests ranked it tops.
A Chinatown spot where the draw is chewy mochi doughnuts in rotating flavors. Named Best Mochi Doughnuts by Las Vegas Weekly, with the Review‑Journal documenting its opening.
