According to Yelp, Sesame Donuts is often praised for its “King Donuts,” which is roughly the size of six doughnuts all together.
“They come frosted or covered in sprinkles, with an optional written message,” the foodie platform wrote on its list. “As a bonus, Sesame Donuts throws in 4 complimentary donut holes with each giant donut purchase.”
Yelp said it created its list by considering the total volume and ratings of reviews after identifying businesses in the doughnut category.
Whether you get your fix with a baker’s dozen in a pink box, or you prefer the unconventional yet just-as-satisfying doughnut holes, rest assured one highly favorited bakery rests within America’s Finest City.
