There’s nothing wrong with Dunkin’ Donuts or Krispy Kreme but it’s nice to have something different every once in a while. Lucky for us, New Jersey is home to some pretty amazing donut shops. From Glaze Donuts in New Milford to Four Season Donuts in Pennsville, you can find the most spectacular sweet treats all over the state. Curiosity Doughnuts in Stockton, Brown’s in Ocean City and McMillan’s Bakery in Westmont are also iconic, ranking among the best in America. This year though, one shop in particular stands out…

Uncle Dood’s recently made Thrillist’s list of the 31 best donut shops in America. We absolutely understand why!

Opened in 2012, they quickly became a hit. Offering over 80 different flavors, customers get to vote on menu selections every three months.

Each month, around 20 or so different donuts are served daily, along with one-of-a-kind specials. Favorites include Bed Rockin (Vanilla Icing & Fruity Pebbles), Vermont Swine (Maple Icing & Bacon Bits), and PB Cups (Peanut Butter Icing & Chocolate Sprinkles).
