Why Choose ADK Shop?

ADK Shop trades on its hot jam doughnuts, fried fresh to order at Prahran Market. The yeast-based pastries earn consistent praise for their jam-filled centres, particularly raspberry and plum, and light, not-overly-sweet texture, though consistency varies across visits.

About ADK Shop

Hot jam donuts are the whole story at ADK Shop, a donut bakery in South Yarra, Victoria, run as a third-generation family business that has been serving Melbourne since 1950. It operates out of Prahran Market, and the donuts are fried fresh to order, so you're getting them straight from the oven rather than sitting in a tray.

Locals who've been rave about the jammy centre, with raspberry and plum getting a special mention, and plenty add cinnamon sugar on top for good measure. The donuts are yeast-based, light and not too sweet, and there are other traditional choices like plain cinnamon, chocolate and custard. Coffee and shakes round out the counter, and we hear the café latte is a good one. People also talk up the helpful staff and the fair prices.

A few regulars have found the jam a little uneven from one box to the next, and some who knew the Queen Victoria Market stall say the Prahran version differs in size and shape. If you're taking a dozen home, it's worth a quick check before you leave the counter.

There's no seating in the shop itself, but the surrounding food court has seating and live music at times. They do takeaway, delivery through third-party platforms and catering, and pick-up in store. Opening days are limited to the latter part of the week and the weekend, so check the hours before you head in.
