Our Story
Five decades of 5am mornings.
The Original Donut Palace has been serving up the freshest donuts in the Dayton, Ohio region for over 50 years. Family-owned and locally operated in Trotwood and Huber Heights, we pride ourselves on making our customer's day just a little more joyous with our classic-style donuts, including our signature Glazed Twist. You'll also find a rotating menu of unusual but delicious donut varieties. Come taste the joy of our sweet treats and bring some golden-glazed warmth to your family, friends, or office. Oh yeah — our coffee is amazing too.

The First Batch
A young Dayton family opens a tiny shop on the west side of Dayton. One fryer, one rolling pin, and one promise: hand-glaze every donut.

A Bigger Home
We moved to Salem Avenue in Trotwood, doubling our space and opening our doors to even more of the community. A bigger home meant more room to grow, more flavors to share, and more memories made around the same donuts Dayton had loved for generations.

Two Shops, One Family
We opened our second location on Old Troy Pike in Huber Heights, bringing the Donut Palace tradition to a new neighborhood while keeping the same fresh, hand-glazed taste at the heart of everything we do.

A Fresh Chapter
We committed to relocating our Huber Heights location and giving Donut Palace a fresh new look. A brighter space, a fresh visual experience, and the irresistible smell of warm, hand-glazed donuts waiting the moment you walk through the door. A new chapter you can see, smell, and taste.
Same recipe. Same welcome.
Pop in any morning. We saved you a glazed.
