My Scouts love to stop at World’s Best Donuts when we’re in Grand Marais. They were very accommodating of our large group. We used the outdoor order window and they filled the individuals orders quickly and we were able to pay after they all had ordered.
If you love donuts, you need to stop here.

Definitely NOT the world's best tasting donuts. We purchased several kinds and they were pretty bland. Took one bite of a Skizzle which had way too much sugar on it and not much flavor. I personally also had a glazed donut and that was okay. We bought a bunch to eat later on our trip and they don't last long. Tried one a few days later and I had to spit it out it tasted so bad.
Excellent service and a variety of donuts to choose from. The prices aren't bad at all as well, very well priced for the donuts. Every time we're in Grand Marais, this is our stop.
The donuts are great in quality. Definitely very sugary but expected. Donuts were soft to the bite and nearly melts in your mouth. There isn't seating outside but enjoying the donut and Grand Marais' scenery is very nice.
This spot is about 2 blocks away from the main parking lot. Overall, worth trying if you're a donut enthusiast!

Nostalgic, fun, and yummy adventure to World’s Best Donuts. I’m so glad we made the drive! The classic donuts were the best; my favorite were the very fresh cinnamon and sugar cake donuts. We rounded out our Minnesota North Shore adventure with a hike at Tettegouche State Park and a Lake Superior shore picnic at the Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. ❤️
I don’t even like cake donuts! The maple bacon is epic as well. Truly the best. Please don’t go to Grand Marais without stocking up! Pro tip: the online ordering is a lifesaver for those long summer lines.
They really have amazing cake donuts. They are crunchy, yet soft, and the flavor is just right. A dozen are $17.99 and worth it. They are hard to stop eating. The line moves quick even though it always appears long whenever I drive by. Donuts came out warm.
Delicious! We showed up at 8 am and ordered 12. We got cinnamon, glazed, powdered, and chocolate covered. It was just under $18 for the dozen. They were still warm. I was told the coconut one was the best but it didn’t match with the dozen so I skipped it. The ones we ordered were really great even the next day! There was a little line at 8 am but it went fast. They don’t have indoor seating and are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I really loved the dog treat offering in the machine out front.
