Pastry Chef

Who we are

Welcome to Daniel's Donuts — where every bite is a little moment of happiness

What started in 2016 as a single donut shop in Springvale, Melbourne, has grown into one of Australia's favourite sweet spots. From classic jam-filled rings to wild creations like Nutella-oozing delights, rainbow sprinkles, and vegan-friendly flavours, Daniel's Donuts has something to make everyone smile.

We're not just about donuts (though we do them really well) — we've got pies, shakes, coffee, and cookies that turn every visit into a mini celebration. With over 40 stores (and counting) across Victoria and beyond — plus appearances in 7-Eleven stores nationwide — Daniel's Donuts is spreading joy one treat at a time.

Our recipe for success? A sprinkle of fun, a dash of creativity, and a whole lot of love for good food and good people.
