The Best Dessert Shops in Mesa, by the Record
The best dessert shops in Mesa, by the professional record: Phoenix New Times has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Dutch Donut Factory comes out on top.

Rank 1. Dutch Donut Factory

The glazed donuts here come out warm if you time the drive to east Mesa right, and that detail explains most of what you need to know about this family-owned donut shop. The menu stays classic on purpose: pillowy raised donuts, apple fritters, old-fashioned buttermilk bars. No novelty toppings, no Instagram bait. Phoenix New Times named it Best Doughnuts in 2024, and the regulars in line at opening would find that completely unsurprising.
