Artisanal brioche donuts with unique flavors like guava & cheese
"A Latin American doughnut concept resurrected by a Michelin-tasting-menu chef and his family recipe, known for brioche-based doughnuts in flavors like guava-and-cheese, hazelnut-covered Amor al Chocolate, and arequipe (dulce de leche); offerings include large doughnuts (about $5, with basic glazed at $4.50) and a flight of four mini doughnuts for $10, sold at a churro-and-soft-serve counter in The Square with the possibility of a longer-term residency." - Emily Venezky
"When you’re trying to find Donisima and arrive at a West End squash club, don’t worry. You’re in the right place for excellent Latin American-flavored donuts. You could refuel with amor al chocolate after a game on the court, or be like us and yell “good shot” with a mouth full of an arequipe cheese crumble donut. If you want to try lots of flavors without committing to a full-sized sugar rush, the donuts come in mini sizes too. And when you can score four for 10 bucks, you’re in pretty good shape." - tristiana hinton

"The Colombian-born doughnut shop brought to D.C. by chef Miguel Guerra sends out a decadent, chocolate-everything sphere finished with cacao, hazelnut streusel, and flakes of 24-karat gold leaf ($5). Order online for pickup or delivery." - Tierney Plumb
"What began as Guerra’s dad’s decadent Medellín doughnut shop, Donisima has taken off in D.C. with food-hall stalls at Foggy Bottom’s Western Market and Union Market’s La Cosecha, offering seasonal items such as a Valentine’s Day cheesecake doughnut made with berries, champagne curd, white chocolate, and rose petals and special shapes like a football-shaped Super Bowl doughnut, with gift boxes available for preorder online." - Tierney Plumb
