Hi
welcome to Monthly Doughnuts. We’re a Melbourne based doughnut enthusiast group that has created a guide to challenge you to try 5 doughnut stores that we recommend in the Melbourne area. This is the first issue of many, so get excited. To start off the challenge, we will recommend a few doughnut stores in the CBD as well as some in the suburbs that are affordable and easy to access. #poorunistudent

Doughnut Time For the first part of this challenge we will be taking you to Doughnut Time. With 4 shops located around Melbourne this is one place you will want to try. Degraves Street is the easiest to get to as you can exit Flinders Street Station from the Degraves Lane underpass or just off Flinders Street. Originally starting in Brisbane in 2015 they have grown to have 20 locations that provide a wide range of delicious doughnuts with new limited edition doughnuts being released regularly. They are made fresh daily with locally sourced ingredients. Prices start at $6.70 (they are a decent size for the price!) and if you want more value for your money there is also an option to purchase a 4 pack for $25 and a 6 pack for $38 as well as giant doughnuts that start from $15. Doughnut Time also offer loyalty cards and gift cards for the more serious doughnut lovers! The atmosphere when waiting to be served will be exciting as it’s such a hard choice to pick what flavour to have! Personal favourites from the team at Monthly Doughnut are Love at first bite (which is filled with Nutella and is just amazing), Liam Hemsworthy (which is Red Velvet and Vegan, also who wouldn’t buy something named after Liam Hemsworth!) and Life on Mars (Which is a combination of chocolate and caramel and is just a sweet combination, no pun intended of course!) Other doughnuts that are available are The O.G, Slimshady, It’s always a gay time, pump up the jam, fairy godmother, flakey af, crème de la crème, d’o nut and Cornelius fudge. The ratings for this place took into consideration the price, cost, flavours available, location/s and atmosphere and is a 4/5 What do you rate it out of 5?

Fun Fact
Doughnut Time has recently come out with an app that you can use to order doughnuts and earn loyalty points! To download simply search for Doughnut Time in the app store or google play!
For our next place, it is Walker’s Doughnut which is just up the road from Doughnut Time on the corner of Flinders and Elizabeth Street. Walker’s are very old school and pride themselves on making their doughnuts with love. Not only do they sell delicious doughnuts but they also do custom roasted coffees, genuine USA hotdogs, Milkshakes and old fashion sodas! Starting from $2.95 they offer classic glaze, fancy decorated, custard, jam filled and fancy filled doughnuts. The atmosphere is very fast paced due to the location of the store but you’ll always get good old fashion service though! The personal favourite from the team for not only the taste but the price is their Hot jam doughnuts which you can get 6 for $6! Filled with yummy raspberry jam you will be left licking the jam and sugar of your fingers and wanting more! The Glazed and Custard filled doughnuts are also up there with the hot jam doughnuts! The ratings for this place took into consideration the price, cost, flavours available, location/s and atmosphere and is a 4/5 What do you rate it out of five?

Hot tip keep your phone or camera on you as you’ll want to take a photo because they’re just so pretty!
Moving further in the CBD up to Bourke Street is Doughboy Doughnuts. For those who like to take pictures of their food or love pretty things this is the place for you! Starting back in 2013 as a popup store by two friends inspired by American gourmet food these doughnuts are made fresh everyday with local ingredients. Only a limited batch are made daily and almost always sell out so be prepared to go early to snag some of the prettiest doughnuts that you’ll ever see! Doughnuts start from $4.50 depending on the flavour and the menu is always changing so it’s always a mystery to what they’ll have but not to worry you’ll love the friendly atmosphere. There is also an option to buy a 6 pack of doughnuts for $32 as well as coffee and other types of drinks at a reasonable price. Top ones to try if they’re available are Dragon fruit beauty (Who doesn’t want a bright pink doughnut and its fruit so has it so be somewhat healthy right?!), Hazelnut (This is fantastic if you have a chocolate and hazelnut craving) and Matcha Mallow (if you love marshmallows you’ll love this!) If you miss out on getting any doughnuts due to them selling out don’t worry they also do deliveries around Melbourne and cater for cafes such as Auction Rooms, Barry Coffee, Clement, Darling Café, Dear abbey, Dish and Spoons, Pepper Café, Sensory Lab in Collins Street and David Jones, Story Café, The Joinery, Tom Thumb and more.
Locations 535 Bourke Street Monday to Friday 7.00am – 4.30pm Saturday 9.00am – 4.00pm

The atmosphere of the shop is very relaxing and will smell strongly of coffee and sugar which is exactly what our recommendations are!

Spanish doughnuts
Hot tip
Grab a few friends and go for a fun lunch and finish it off with delicious churros or just go for the churros instead!
For the last part of this challenge we are giving you a bit of a twist by recommending Churros also known as Spanish doughnuts! There are four franchises located in Melbourne but the best is El Churro Café in Hawthorn as they also sell delicious Spanish food. The easiest way to get there is by taking either the Alamein, Belgrave or Lilydale line to Glenferrie Station and then taking a short walk up Glenferrie Road. The Churros are cooked to order so they are deliciously fresh when you eat them. They have wide range available either hot or cold as well as having the option of sweet or savoury flavours! You can also have the choice of buying a 3 pack for $8.95 or 6 pack for $14.95. Top picks from the team are the Hot original churros with dipping sauce (because you can’t go past the classic), Choco churrito’s either sweet or savoury (share with a friend for a yummy snack) and Triple choc bombon (If you really love chocolate then this is for you!) Other options that are available on the menu are the Original churros, Choco churrito’s with dipping sauce (milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate) and Savoury (three olive, avocado and sundried tomato), Hot churro fillers with jam, custard, chocolate, caramel and nutella, Nuts gourmet bombon, Double choc bombon, Milk freckles bombon, Triple choc bombon, Coconut bombon, Salted caramel brulee, Strawberries and cream, Churro sundae and the Breaky churro.
