A $22 ticket will get you unlimited doughnuts, dossants (a doughnut x croissant hybrid), milkshakes and hot drinks for one hour. You need to book in advance, and tickets are selling so quick that they’ve added sessions on June 8 as well.
They’re also giving away free doughnuts with purchases across the rest of their stores.
#4 Krispy Kreme

Famous for the 1kg donut challenge and coffee-filled doughnuts, Kenilworth Country Bakery are doing 2 for 1 on all of their traditional doughnuts (sorry, you can’t score a free 1kg beast, but you can still preorder the challenge if that’s how you want to celebrate the day).
#7 Bistronought Gelato
Where: Zero Gradi, 93-97 Lygon St, Brunswick East, Melbourne & Bistro Morgan, 190 High St, Windsor, Melbourne
Zero Gradi and Bistro Morgan have teamed up to create the Bistronought Gelato. Think fluffy, fried chunks of doughnut swirled through caramel and cinnamon gelato, topped with Bistro Morgan’s mini caramel doughnuts and finished with Nutella. Um, yes please.
They’re serving up the creation on National Doughnut Day and right through the June long weekend..

Where: 141-145 Commercial Rd, South Yarra, Melbourne
The cocktail gurus at The Emerson have tapped into their sweet tooth to create the “Dough-nut Kill my Vibe” cocktail. This cacao infused, Gin based cocktail is ladened in Licor 43 (a citrus and vanilla liqueur) as well as Bailey’s and Butterscotch liqueur. It’s served in a sugar-rimmed glass and decorated with Persian Fairy Floss and — most importantly — a plump doughnut on top. It’s available for one day only, but The Emerson is open until late so you’ve got plenty of time to get your hands on it after work.
Once you’ve recovered from your sugar high, you’ll have an entire long weekend to enjoy! Check out the best things to do in Sydney and Melbourne for the June long weekend.
