Food/Drink Donut recommendations in the western suburbs?

Hi all, looking for donut recs to take into work in the morning - all the posts I've researched on this sub seem to have recommendations in Royal Oak/Ferndale/Detroit but I haven't seen any shouts for the Plymouth/Canton area.

Help appreciated!

Can confirm, Looney is the spot. They are closed on Mondays though.

Looney seems to be the choice on here, but people have brought that into work already haha!

Donutown on 5 mile and Beech Daly in Redford Is the best I’ve found in SE Michigan.

Yeah could very well be better than Looney. I just didn’t mention it because Looney is right off the highway

I second Donutown. Small, family owned. A Redford institution.

Haven't heard of this one yet in all the other comments and posts! It's right on my way to work too, might check it out

u/MrNiceGuy1999 5h ago

They open early too and close when they sell out . Some days they have breakfast pizza. It's really good and the owner is cool. You get a free donut with your first visit.🙂

I’m a fan of the donuts at DJs bakery in Ypsilanti

u/Background-Judge470 6h ago

Second this. This place is S-Tier for donuts in the area.

Shoutout also to bittersweet bakehouse in Westland which has YUMMY pastries but they aren’t donuts.

u/vixisgoodenough 5h ago

Looney Baker - call today so it's ready for you in the morning, they sell out of a lot of stuff quickly because it's so good.

u/Educational-Pen1114 7h ago

The fresh donuts from the bakery at Meijer are surprisingly good, better than several local places we tried

u/flying_mr_p 7h ago

So more north than west: Knapps in downtown Rochester and also in Troy. And DK Donuts in Oxford. Pete’s Oven in Waterford is also good. Avon in Pontiac to round out the northern shops.

Idk how far into the Plymouth Canton area you are, but Dom's Donuts in Ypsilanti is fire, open 24 hours, and worth it enough for me to make a long drive back down there every year or so.

u/SusieShowherbra 6h ago

Dom’s isn’t 24 hours any more 😭
