Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Doughnut Shack in Whampoa/Balestier offers a range of artisanal doughnuts, with a clear emphasis on fresh, light dough.

Reviewers consistently praise the Creme Brulee doughnut, and other popular choices include Pistachio, Matcha, and the Peanut Butter Jam.

We note the enthusiasm of the staff, which contributes positively to the overall experience, even near closing time.

While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, one reviewer found the almond chocolate doughnut to have a 'cheap oil sweetz' taste, suggesting some flavour combinations might be less refined than others.

However, the general consensus points to a high-quality product, with many finding the doughnuts light and not overly sinful.

We'd recommend focusing on their fruit-based or classic flavours like the Creme Brulee for the best experience.

Verdict: A reliable spot for well-made artisanal doughnuts, particularly the Creme Brulee, and worth a stop if you're in the area.

What customers say

Doughnut Shack consistently delights customers with its artisanal doughnuts, frequently praised for their light texture and delicious, unique flavors like Pistachio, Creme Brûlée, and Peanut Butter Jam.

While most experiences are highly positive, with some highlighting excellent service, a minor concern was noted regarding the quality of chocolate used in one flavor, suggesting a preference for darker chocolate.

Overall, the doughnuts are considered worth the price and highly recommended.
