A must-visit for any American donut lover, The French Donuts‘ menu changes every month with newer toppings and flavors. Along with classic vanilla, cinnamon, and powdered sugar donuts, their ‘ultra’ gourmet donuts are a sight to behold.

With zero additives and preservatives, they make their donuts in-house every morning with fresh ingredients. The chef even advises booking your donut order a day before, as they’re in high demand and sell out quickly.

Address: 58 Rue la Bruyère, 9th Arr

Besties Bakery

A cute Parisian story of two BFFs, Besties Bakery makes up for the lack of ultra, ultra gourmet donuts in France. Serving American-style pastel pastries, Besties offers a wide variety of donuts, cupcakes, regular cakes, and seasonal sweets.

Mamiche

If you want a donut that leans French rather than American, Mamiche is the name every Parisian will give you. This much-loved neighborhood bakery is famous for its oversized filled donuts, pillowy rounds stuffed with things like vanilla praline or seasonal fruit cream that tend to sell out fast. There is a second shop in the 10th on rue du Château d'Eau, so you have two chances to grab one, but get there early, because when the donuts are gone, they are gone!

Address: 45 rue Condorcet, 9th Arr

French Bastards

With a cheeky name and a seriously devoted following, French Bastards has become one of the city's favorite modern bakeries, and their donuts are a big part of the reason why. Expect creative, generously topped rounds that change with the seasons, sitting right alongside their famous babkas and pastries. They have several shops around Paris, so you are rarely far from one.

Address: 61 rue Oberkampf, 11th Arr

Krispy Kreme

The American classic finally landed in Paris in December 2024 with a flagship inside the Westfield Forum des Halles. This is the place to go for that warm, melt-in-your-mouth Original Glazed you may remember from back home, plus the rotating specialty boxes. Expect a line, especially on weekends.

Address: 12 passage de la Canopée, Westfield Forum des Halles, 1st Arr

Dunkin'

Dunkin' opened its first Paris store on Boulevard Montmartre in 2025, with a second location at Saint-Lazare station. Alongside around twenty donut varieties, you will find the coffee, sandwiches, and cookies the chain is known for, all made for grabbing on the go.

Address: Boulevard Montmartre, 9th Arr

Tips
  • Flights
    • Look for fares using sites like Skyscanner or Expedia.com
    • For France (Paris), coming from the West Coast, I typically fly Air France or United. From the East Coast, I typically fly Air France or Delta.
    • If you travel frequently, consider investing in a Priority Pass for access to airport lounges. Not only will you have a spot to relax before your flight and charge your devices, but you can eat and drink for free (without paying crazy airport prices!)
  • Accommodation
  • Transportation
    • For rental car agencies, try Rentalcars.com. When traveling in Europe, I use AutoEurope to make reservations. They find the best rates and let you compare car rental agencies. I typically book with Sixt.
    • For transportation from CDG Airport to anywhere in Paris, consider pre-booking with Get Transfer. It is one way to be stress-free, and you can request an English-speaking driver.
  • Tours + Atractions
    • I book tours with companies like Viator and GetYourGuide. Both have a wide variety of activities for every travel style. Other companies to look at include Tours by Locals and Withlocals.
    • If you’re visiting a city with multiple attractions, be sure to check out a discount pass, such as CityPASS or Go City.
    • Context Travel is another option, and they offer more education-based activities.
    • If you are looking to buy tickets to attractions, check out Tiquet.
  • Don't Forget Travel Photos
    • One of my favorite things to do is to get photos taken of me while on vacation. Flytographer is a great option with photographers all over the world.
  • Peace of Mind
    • It’s important to have some type of travel insurance to cover any unforeseen accidents, illnesses, threats, or cancellations. I always travel with insurance and would recommend SafetyWingSquareMouth, or Travelex Insurance as good options.
    • Should you have any trouble with flight delays to the extent that you feel you deserve compensation, I encourage you to check out AirHelp. I used them, and for 1 claim I got compensated (transparency: a 2nd claim did not, but I was still glad I tried!).
