Tier Explanations
Great - The best of the best. I would go out of my way to grab a donut from these places. Little to nothing to complain about.Good - I would happily buy a donut from any of these places if I were in the mood and a location was nearby. Good donuts but not worth inconveniencing myself. These shops often do at least one thing great, but just are not great across the board.
Okay - Average donuts. If a coworker brought these in to the office I would still eat them. Not bad, but probably not donut shops I would go back to given the many other superior options.
Poor - Donuts that I did not finish eating. Would not go back and might actively discourage others from visiting.
Upcoming - Places that I've heard of or that were recommended to me that I have yet to try.
