BEST OF ORLANDO® READERS' CHOICE NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN!

The best donuts in Orlando, according to Reddit

You'd think there couldn't be much variation in the world of doughnuts, but you'd be wrong.

The fried, glazed, iced and/or jelly-filled rings have come a long way since the days when you had to dunk them in black coffee to make them palatable. Now, your average doughnut fan is faced with a choice of the classics done well versus oddball innovators and Instagram savants. It's all a bit overwhelming, even before you get to the doughnut shop and its wall of flavors.

With that in mind, we turned to the only place to get a straight answer since Google broke its own search: Reddit. Orlando Redditors recently waxed hungry about their favorite doughnut shops when a tourist asked for recommendations.

Here are their favorites, ranked.

Salty donut is incredible IMO and I don't even like donuts. They're a little more artsy than your usual donuts but they're outstanding - u/Szimplacurt
