Grabbing a hot jam doughnut from American Doughnut Kitchen is like a core memory for any Melburnian. This beloved institution has served up their sweet, oozy doughnuts from a vintage van at Queen Vic Market since 1950. And now, after decades of doughnuts, they’re finally opening their first brick-and-mortar shop. You’ll find it at Prahran Market this autumn.

Inspired by the iconic van, the store will pay homage to the original location with the same open work station. Watch the team cut, cook and fill your doughnuts with classic raspberry plum jam, before tossing it in sugar.
For the first time, you will also be able to pair your doughnuts with a cup of coffee, making it the perfect spot for a market breakfast.
“This expansion has been a long-time coming and is a testament to our family’s commitment to creating moments of delight and connection,” said Belinda Donaghey, American Doughnut Kitchen Managing Director. “Our doughnuts are not just a treat; they are a symbol of tradition and indulgence. We’re excited to share our legacy with more doughnut lovers in Melbourne’s south while staying true to our roots as a market trader.”
More details, including the opening date, will be revealed in the future. Keep an eye on their website for info.
