There’s a reason this Casa Linda mainstay has a national reputation as a force to be reckoned with. Whether it’s pairing habanero and passion fruit, or using bacon as a staple ingredient, Hypnotic has somewhat of a magical way of doing donuts. Cozy couches (if you can find a spot) provide a great place to chill.

The crowds that line up outside of the Deep Ellum shop are only a slight indication of the goodness inside. If you’re not enticed by any of the made-from-scratch options in the glass case, go for the donut Monte Cristo, made with turkey, ham, swiss and house-made raspberry jam.
