Yellow Dog Bread Company

Bakery · Raleigh

@postcardnews

While Yellow Dog Bread Company is celebrated for its rustic breads and pastries, locals know its donuts are a standout treat on select mornings. Fresh, pillowy, and made in small batches, these donuts often feature seasonal glazes and fillings—think strawberry jam in spring or pumpkin spice in autumn. The bakery’s relaxed, sun-filled space in the Oakwood neighborhood fosters a sense of community, and Triangle Food Blog praises their commitment to local sourcing and classic techniques. Arrive early, as these donuts sell out fast, a testament to their devoted following.
