Donut King Warrawong Plaza

If you're after a donut and a decent coffee while you're out at Warrawong Plaza, Donut King is the one locals head for. It's a donut shop in Warrawong, New South Wales, known as the home of the hot cinnamon donut, and that's the thing people come back for most.

Those cinnamon donuts are cooked fresh, and people tell us they come out warm and right on the mark. There's a good spread of other donuts to choose from, including iced varieties, so it's not a one-trick counter. Coffee gets plenty of love too, with one regular saying it's always made properly, and a choice of milk is on offer. Milkshakes and hot chocolate are popular, and if you want something savoury, the hot dogs and ham and cheese toasties are there as well.

The staff are one of the things people mention most. Service is often described as quick and friendly, even when the queue builds up. It does get busy, and one local admits you might wait a little at peak times, though they reckon it's worth it. One person has had a poorer experience at the counter, so it's not flawless, but most opinions around Warrawong lean warmly towards the team.

It suits a quick grab-and-go stop in the middle of a shopping trip, and you can also eat in if you'd rather sit down. Takeaway and delivery are both offered, and a few people have had their orders turn up promptly through delivery apps. Locals consider it good value for the money. Seniors have mentioned a discount and a couple of free donuts being part of the deal, though check at the counter for what's current.

The shop has street parking nearby, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and toilet, and takes cards and tap-and-go payments. Hours vary a little through the week and it's open on weekends, so check before you head in.
