Wicked Donuts

As a group of friends who revel in the Durban Vibe, we regularly find ourselves drawn to the delectable offerings of Wicked Donuts, nestled in Durban North. This charming spot has become our go-to for indulging in a delightful mix of creativity, flavour, and a dash of local culture, perfectly capturing the essence of the Durban Vibe.

Wicked Donuts isn’t just a donut shop; it’s a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship and innovation. Every donut is handcrafted with love, passion and precision, using traditional methods that ensure a unique, high-quality product each time. Their signature yeast-raised dough, a recipe developed by founder Jeanne Danielle Brooks and her team, is a testament to their commitment to authenticity and excellence​. To us, they are like family and you will feel the same warm welcome if you go there.

Among our favourites are their Dulce de Leche and Karak tea-infused donuts, which exemplify the creative fusion of flavours that Wicked Donuts is renowned for. The Dulce de Leche, with its perfectly caramelised sugar top and creamy Dulce de Leche filling, offers a symphony of textures and tastes. The Karak tea donut, on the other hand, brings an exotic twist with its rich, spiced custard that pays homage to the traditional Middle Eastern beverage​ ​. Each bite is a journey through layers of flavour, making these treats irresistible and a highlight of our visits. We can’t resist starting every day with a visit to their store to drink coffee and reignite our Wicked Donut love affair. It’s an addiction.

Part of what makes Wicked Donuts an integral part of the Durban Vibe is their dedication to constantly pushing culinary boundaries. They are always experimenting with new ingredients and flavours, ensuring that every visit offers something fresh and exciting. This commitment to innovation is a hallmark of the best restaurants in Durban, and Wicked Donuts stands proudly among them​. They are masters of their craft.
