Beyond Dawlish

Chocolate donuts have taken the world by storm, but have you ever wondered where this sweet sensation began? These mouth-watering treats have a rich history and have evolved over the years into the indulgent delight we know today. At Novak’s Bakery, we continue that tradition with our handcrafted chocolate donuts that blend timeless flavor with modern perfection.

The Origins of the Donut

The donut itself has roots dating back to Dutch settlers who brought “olykoeks” or “oily cakes” to America in the 18th century. These early donuts were simple balls of fried dough. Eventually, bakers began shaping them into rings for even cooking and filled versions soon followed.

It wasn’t until the 20th century that chocolate donuts became a regular feature in bakeries. Chocolate frosting, glazes, and fillings transformed the humble donut into a chocolate lover’s dream.

Why Chocolate Donuts Became a Global Favorite

Chocolate is a universally loved flavor, and its combination with donuts was a natural pairing. The contrast of soft, airy dough with rich, velvety chocolate creates a satisfying texture and taste.

At Novak’s Bakery in Limerick, we elevate this classic combo by using artisan techniques and premium chocolate, ensuring each donut is an unforgettable bite.
