Best 8 Donut Shops in Colorado Springs

Craving something glazed, maple bacon-topped or filled with apple cider spice? Colorado Springs has a huge donut scene that’s sure to impress every palate.

This guide highlights 11 standout shops serving everything from classic crullers to vegan treats, so you’re never far from your next fried fix.

Pikes Peak Summit Visitor Center

Location: 5089 Pikes Peak Highway, Cascade
Hours: Hours vary seasonally. Check here for the most up-to-date information on hours, shuttles and vehicle passes.

Baked at 14,000 feet, these one-of-a-kind donuts are made fresh daily at the Pikes Peak Summit House using a recipe engineered for high-altitude frying. Warm, dense and cake-like, they’re a rite of passage for anyone reaching the summit.

Pro Tip: Due to their unique recipe, formulated for high altitudes, these donuts can’t survive the trip down the mountain without their signature cakey texture collapsing. Of course, they’re so good that having leftovers won’t be a problem.

The Donut Mill

Location: 310 W Midland Ave, Woodland Park
Hours: Sunday - Thursday 5:00 am – 5:00 pm, Friday - Saturday 5:00 am – 6:00 pm

A roadside institution since 1977, The Donut Mill is known for its enormous pastries, including 12-inch cinnamon rolls and bear claws the size of your face. The old-school, family-friendly shop pairs its sweet treats with hearty breakfast burritos, biscuits and gravy and a welcoming mountain-town vibe.

Pro Tip: Don’t miss the hubcap-sized cinnamon roll. It’s perfect for sharing (or not) after a hike in the nearby Pike National Forest.

Sweet Elizabeth’s is a family-run, organic bakery crafting top 9 allergen-free (except coconut) treats that don’t compromise flavor or comfort. Born from one mom’s quest to make her daughter a safe, delicious birthday coffee cake, it’s now a welcoming café for anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions.
