Yellow Light Coffee and Donuts and Apple Fritter Donut Shop hold the next two places.

Rank 1. JP Makes and Bakes
Filipino Bakery
This is a small bakery-cafe on Woodward where Filipino pastries, ube cookies, and pandesal stuffed with coconut or cream cheese share a counter with longganisa biscuits and gravy. Doughnuts show up on a schedule, so Saturday bomboloni with a rotating monthly filling are a loose appointment you have to keep. About ten seats, a few espresso drinks, and a calamansi soda that makes your usual lemonade feel underdressed. Eater has named it among Detroit's best coffee shops and doughnut shops.

Rank 1. Yellow Light Coffee and Donuts
Doughnut Shop
Yellow Light is a neighborhood doughnut and coffee shop on Jefferson Avenue in Jefferson Chalmers, with a drive-thru that does real work once winter sets in. The glazes get inventive, including one made with Faygo Red Pop, and the biscuit breakfast sandwiches keep the savory side honest. It's cheap, casual, and eaten in a parked car about as often as at a table. Eater has put it on both its Detroit doughnut and coffee lists.

Rank 3. Dutch Girl Donuts
Doughnut Shop
Dutch Girl is a Palmer Park doughnut shop that keeps the lights on around the clock for most of the week, which is either a public service or an enabling situation depending on your 3 a.m. self. The new owner, who also runs the Schvitz, left the equipment, the flour, and the whole process alone. Glazed is the point, the prices are corner-shop, and Detroiters poured back in when it reopened.
