The Hole In Wand, Leeds

You'll smell the yeast and sugar before you see the counter display of glossy, hand-crafted rings that put every chain doughnut to shame. This isn't your average sweet shop – they're turning out proper artisan doughnuts with flavours that actually make sense, from classic glazed that melts on your tongue to seasonal specials that rotate faster than you can try them all. The St John's Centre location means you're perfectly positioned for a sugar hit between shopping, but these aren't grab-and-go treats. Each doughnut is made with the kind of attention you'd expect from a bakery that's earned a cult following. The queues at weekends tell you everything about how locals rate this place.
