Brothers Nic and Yani started this homemade doughnut shop based on their grandmother’s recipe.
Think delicious donuts made in small batches, served with great coffee and deluxe hot chocolates and milkshakes. What’s not to like?
The Oakleigh Doughnut Co is the place to go for a sweet treat – choose from a selection of twenty flavours, including the popular Oreo Crème, classics like salted caramel or the more unusual Halva Nice Day.
