Our story

Our Story

Forbidden Donut started with a simple idea: donuts should taste like they were made this morning — because they were.

Every batch is made fresh on the day it is sold, in small runs that sell out before the market closes. We are fussy about ingredients, from real butter to proper vanilla, and we are a little obsessed with flavours you will not find at the supermarket.

You will find us at farmers markets, pop-ups, and community events around Auckland and the surrounding region. Say hi at the stall — we will probably be the ones covered in sugar.
