I used to live in DC and travel back several times a year to visit friends and family in the DMV. As a donut enthusiast, I am always visiting donut shops whenever I am here and today was my first opportunity to try Handcraft Doughnuts. I chose 4 doughnuts: matcha blackberry, blueberry yuzu, rosewater, and strawberry chai. These are hands down the best donuts that I have EVER had, anywhere. The jam inside the matcha blackberry and strawberry chai are so phenomenal and fresh that I wish they also sold jars of the homemade jam that they fill their donuts with. I am not exaggerating when I say eating that matcha blackberry donut was a transcendent experience and I will be dreaming of these doughnuts until my next trip down. You can tell the donuts are iced and filled with real, high quality ingredients. I cannot recommend that you visit and try these for yourself enough, I promise you won't regret it.

Read moreGoing to be harsh because they charge 6 dollars a donut.
At almost 6 dollars i expect the texture of the donut to be top tier and topings to be unique flavorful and aesthetic.

Ate topings of 2 donuts and threw the rest in the garbage. Wish i only bought one and tested before buying...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting Handcraft Donuts, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! The location is just perfect—super convenient and easy to find. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and great service. Ordering was a breeze!
I tried the cookies and cream and the buttermilk glazed, and they were absolutely unbelievable. Both were fluffy and light, striking that perfect balance of sweetness that left me wanting more. I honestly couldn't believe how delicious they were!
I can’t wait to fly back to DC and get more. If only they would start delivering to California soon lol! Handcraft Donuts is truly a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful treat. You won’t be...
