Krispy Kreme is giving 6 free Original Glazed (worth $17.40) with every dozen bought from 1 to 7 October, with limited sets each day. Dunkin' still has the cheapest dozen on paper: 12 regular donuts plus a drink from $29.50 (U.P. $30.70), no end date. Mister Donut has launched three Halloween donuts at $3.20 each, keeps its everyday buy 10, get 2 free, and its delivery store takes $5 off the delivery fee until 31 October. We re-checked every deal on the brands' own channels on 2 October. Here are the five donut chains worth your money, with prices, catches and where to find them.
Krispy Kreme's Children's Day deal is the one to catch this week, and it ends on 7 October.
> Quick view: buy a dozen at Krispy Kreme from 1 to 7 Oct and get 6 Original Glazed free (worth $17.40), limited sets daily. The cheapest twelve on paper is still Dunkin's bundle, 12 regular donuts plus a drink from $29.50. The catch: Krispy Kreme's $3.90 student pair is barred at six outlets.
The melt-in-your-mouth Original Glazed benchmark, and now the chain with the most ways to buy in bulk. The offer to catch right now is its Children's Day deal, announced on Krispy Kreme Singapore's Facebook page on 30 September: from Thursday 1 to Wednesday 7 October 2026, buy one dozen doughnuts in a single transaction at any outlet and get a half dozen Original Glazed free, which the brand values at $17.40. That is 18 doughnuts for the price of 12. Only Original Glazed goes in the free box, and only a limited number of sets are released each day, so an evening visit can find them gone. Separately, the chain announced a box deal on Facebook in September: any half dozen for $17.99 (U.P. $23.40) or any dozen for $33.88 (U.P. $46.80), about $2.82 a doughnut, with no end date announced and whilst stocks last. Its page could not be re-read without a login on 2 October, and the Children's Day terms do not say whether that box counts as the qualifying dozen, so ask at the counter before you pay. The Autumn Series and its buy 10, get 2 Original Glazed free both ended on 27 September. Separately, the student deal is a standing offer: two Original Glazed for $3.90 instead of $5.80, every Monday and Tuesday from 2.30pm to 5.30pm with a valid student pass or in school uniform. It started on 6 July 2026, was re-listed as running from 18 August onwards, and has no published end date. The part most round-ups leave out is the exclusion list: the student deal is NOT valid at Bugis Junction, Changi Airport Terminal 3, Jewel Changi Airport, Paragon, Suntec City or VivoCity, so head for a heartland store instead. Earlier one-day promos, the Teachers' Day free half dozen on 4 September and the 89th Birthday Buy 6, Get 3 Free on 17 July, have closed, as has the $1.90 juice add-on. For halal diners, 16 Krispy Kreme outlets and its central kitchen are on MUIS's halal register (re-checked 19 September 2026, 17 certificates in all), including Paragon, Suntec City, VivoCity, Bugis Junction, Jewel and Changi Airport Terminal 3, which are, awkwardly, the exact six stores barred from the student deal. Krispy Kreme Singapore is run by local operator Manna 360, whose store locator still says 32 stores islandwide as of September 2026 when re-read on 2 October, with delivery on GrabFood and foodpanda. One practical warning: Manna 360's site has been serving an expired SSL certificate since 17 July 2026, so the link below will trigger a browser security warning, and krispykreme.sg, the address the chain's own Facebook page still gives out, now redirects to a third-party menu aggregator instead of Krispy Kreme. Its Facebook and Instagram pages are the only official channels currently working.BEST FOR: anyone buying a dozen for a crowd, halal diners, and students who can make a weekday afternoon window.
Children's Day, 1-7 Oct 2026, all outlets: buy one dozen doughnuts in a single transaction, get a half dozen Original Glazed free (valued at $17.40); limited sets each day, while stocks last. Box deal announced in September: any dozen $33.88 (U.P. $46.80) or any half dozen $17.99 (U.P. $23.40), no end date announced. Student deal: 2 Original Glazed for $3.90 (U.P. $5.80), Mon & Tue 2.30-5.30pm with a valid student pass or school uniform; NOT valid at Bugis Junction, Changi Airport T3, Jewel, Paragon, Suntec City or VivoCity.
The coffee-and-donuts institution from Boston has the cheapest everyday dozen in this guide, and it is easy to miss because Dunkin' does not list it under promotions at all. The Naughty Lil' Treats bundle sits on the banner across Dunkin's own homepage and What's New page: 12 regular donuts plus 1 Dunkin' beverage or 2 Coca-Cola products (500ml) from $29.50, against a usual price Dunkin' itself prints as $30.70, or 6 regular donuts with the same drinks from $17.50 (U.P. $18.70). No end date is printed, T&Cs apply, and stocks last. Two catches are worth reading twice. The price covers regular donuts only, so a top-up applies to premium ones, which includes the two newest, Choco Naughty and Nutty Naughty, at $3.55 each on Dunkin's own delivery store. And the headline saving is only $1.20, so this is a bundle price rather than a real discount: its value is the absolute number, $29.50 for twelve donuts and a drink, which still undercuts Krispy Kreme's any-dozen box by $4.38. For reference, Dunkin's delivery store prices an Assorted Dozen at $27 and an Assorted Half Dozen at $13.50, with single donuts from $2.70, and online prices run above in-store ones. It was still the only offer on Dunkin's own site when we re-checked on 2 October. Two shorter runs have ended: the free donut for September birthdays closed on 30 September, and a payday deal (buy 5, get 2 free plus 1-for-1 Cold Brew and Teh Tarik) ran on 23 and 24 September only. Sunny Eggs on Sundays are no longer carried on Dunkin's own site or Facebook feed. Dozen Day, the buy 9, get 3 free run, was last held on 12 September; Dunkin' has run it on the 12th of most months this year, so 12 October is worth watching, but nothing has been announced. Must-try donuts: Boston Kreme, Berry MochiMochi, Cookies & Cream and Double Choc Pudding, plus the Cendol Latte and Cendol Milk Tea. It is also the most widely halal-certified chain on this list: 23 Dunkin' outlets and its central kitchen are on MUIS's halal register (re-checked 19 September 2026, 24 certificates in all). Outlets islandwide include ION Orchard, Jurong Point, Plaza Singapura, Suntec City, Waterway Point, Causeway Point, Northpoint City and Changi T2.BEST FOR: the cheapest everyday twelve-donut run for a crowd, and halal diners who want donuts and coffee in one stop.
Naughty Lil' Treats: 12 regular donuts + 1 Dunkin' beverage OR 2 Coca-Cola products (500ml) from $29.50 (U.P. $30.70), or 6 regular donuts + the same drinks from $17.50 (U.P. $18.70). Top-up applies for premium donuts. No end date printed, T&Cs apply, while stocks last.
Japan's beloved donut chain is best known for the Pon de Ring, a ring of connected mochi-like balls with a springy, chewy bite you will not get from a normal donut. It is the cheapest chain on this list per piece, the only one with a Halloween range this month, and it runs a bulk offer every day. The Bundle Deal, listed for all outlets on its promotions page, is buy 6, get 1 free or buy 10, get 2 free, with the lowest-priced donuts free. New for Halloween, posted on 27 September, is Pon De Lion's Spooky Treats: Spidey, a chocolate donut caught in citrus chocolate with an Oreo on top; Mummy, a fluffy donut wrapped in chocolate with a creamy centre; and Monsta, a chewy Pon de Ring cloaked in citrus chocolate and Oreo crumbs. All three are $3.20 a piece in store, limited time only. The savoury Flossy Pon De Lion is still on the promotions page too: the Fluffy Floss Lion is made with savoury chicken floss and the Spicy Floss Lion with spicy chicken floss, both $2.80 a piece. The MILO tie-up ended on 13 September. Also at $2.60 in store is the Pon de Kopi Licious, an SG-exclusive ode to Nanyang kopi in coffee milk chocolate; its poster carries an &Rewards member price of $2, but that window was 7 to 20 May 2026 only, so pay $2.60. Ordering for a party? Two things to know about the delivery store. First, it does not sell single donuts: every regular line is a box of 10, from $26.80 for Pon De Ring, which works out to $2.68 each, up to $30.60 for either Floss Lion at $3.06 each. The Halloween donuts come as a Mixed Box of 6, two of each, for $20.50, or a single-flavour box of 10 for $34.20, about $3.42 a donut either way, so in store is cheaper. Second, there is a $5 discount, now renamed "Children's Day & Halloween Celebration" and extended to collection dates from 1 September to 31 October 2026, the longest-dated offer in this guide, but the banner contradicts itself. The card headline reads "$5.00 Off Total Order" while the detail panel behind it reads "$5 Off Delivery Fee" and "Valid for Delivery only", so plan on halving the $10 flat delivery fee rather than taking $5 off the donuts. First-time customers also get $6 off a $60 order with the code MISTER6, with next-day delivery when you order by 6pm. Angel French and Custard Strawberry French are still out of stock. Japan's viral Mocchurin Mochi Donuts ended on 31 August 2026.BEST FOR: anyone who loves a chewy, less-sweet, Japanese-style donut, or a Halloween one.
Pon De Lion's Spooky Treats (Spidey, Mummy, Monsta), $3.20 a piece in store, limited time only. Bundle Deal at all outlets: buy 6 donuts, get 1 free, or buy 10, get 2 free (the lowest-priced are free). Flossy Pon De Lion $2.80, Pon de Kopi Licious $2.60. Delivery: $5 off for collection 1 Sep to 31 Oct 2026, but the fine print says $5 off the delivery fee, delivery orders only. First online order: $6 off a $60 spend with code MISTER6.
Valid till 31 Oct 2026
The Indonesian heavyweight that made premium, less-oily donuts fashionable. J.CO's cult flavours include Alcapone (almond), Tira Miss U (tiramisu), Cheese Me Up and the crunchy-glazed Glazzy. It's also a proper cafe, and the JCoffee and JPops (donut holes) are worth adding. J.CO frequently runs value deals through its app and at outlets (think half-dozen and dozen bundles, and beverage add-on offers), so check the app before ordering. Its two August runs, a free Tiramisu Hazelnut donut with any drink from 11 to 21 August and a free beverage upsize from 24 to 31 August, have both closed, as has a 15% off J.Cookies run for Mid-Autumn from 21 to 25 September, and as of 2 October its Singapore site still carried no replacement, in fact no promotions section at all, only Donuts, Coffee, Menu, Stores and Contact. Outlets at Bugis+, Paya Lebar Square and Tampines Mall.BEST FOR: fans of softer, fluffier, less-sweet donuts who want a sit-down coffee too.

Something different: Lukumades brings the Australian-Greek craze for loukoumades: bite-sized balls of dough, fried to order until golden and crisp outside, pillowy inside, then drizzled and loaded with toppings. Go classic with honey and cinnamon, or pile on Nutella, Lotus Biscoff, pistachio cream or salted caramel. They're made fresh when you order, so they arrive hot. Read off Lukumades' own menu, a box of 5 is $8.90 and a box of 10 is $12.90 for The Original, Cinnamon, Red Velvet or Oreo. The premium four (Pistachio, Bueno, Dark Delight and Lotus Crunch) are $9.90 and $13.90. Build-your-own runs at the same $8.90 / $12.90, with a $1 surcharge per piece for a Lotus Biscoff, Bueno or pistachio sauce and again for pistachio kernel or kunafa topping, and the Half & Half box is 10 pieces across two sauces and two toppings at $13.90. Gelato is $6 a scoop, lemonades $6.90 and coffees $8.90–$10.90. Vegan-friendly options are available. It is widely listed as halal in Singapore halal directories, but it does not appear on MUIS's halal register, searched on 19 September 2026 both by name and by its Arab Street postcode, and it publishes no certification on its own site, so ask in store if certification matters to you. Every price above was re-read off Lukumades' own menu on 2 October and was unchanged. There is one Singapore outlet: 60 Arab Street, #01-01, a short walk from Bugis MRT, open Sunday to Thursday 9am–10pm and Friday and Saturday 9am–11pm.BEST FOR: a warm, shareable dessert after dinner in the Kampong Glam area.

Every price and date below was re-read on 2 October 2026 off each brand's own channel: Krispy Kreme Singapore's Facebook posts and artwork plus operator Manna 360's store locator, Dunkin's official site (its homepage and What's New banners, and the live Facebook feed it carries) and its Oddle delivery store, Mister Donut's promotions page, poster artwork and delivery store (including the voucher terms behind its "View Details" panel), and Lukumades' own menu PDF. Halal status comes from MUIS's halal establishment register, last searched on 19 September. Deals can change or sell out, so check before you go.
One warning about Krispy Kreme's links. Both of the chain's web addresses are currently broken. Manna 360's site, which we link below, is serving an SSL certificate that expired on 17 July 2026, so most browsers will show a security warning before the page loads. Worse, krispykreme.sg, the address Krispy Kreme Singapore's own Facebook page still tells customers to visit, now redirects to a third-party menu aggregator rather than the chain (the domain was registered in May 2025 and is not the brand's). A third address, krispykreme.com.sg, is an unaffiliated fan blog that has not been updated since 2013 and says so on its own homepage. Until this is fixed, the chain's Facebook and Instagram pages are the only official channels that actually work.
Ended since our last check: Krispy Kreme's Autumn Series (Citrus Kunafa, Strawberry Kunafa, Apple Krumbles and Hershey's ChocoNana) and its buy 10, get 2 Original Glazed free both ended on 27 September. Dunkin's free donut for September birthdays ended on 30 September, and its payday deal (buy 5, get 2 free plus 1-for-1 Cold Brew and Teh Tarik) ran on 23 and 24 September only. J.CO's 15% off J.Cookies for Mid-Autumn ran from 21 to 25 September.
Ended earlier: Dunkin's Dozen Day, the buy 9, get 3 free run, was a single day on 12 September, and its Teachers' Day code TEACHERSDAY10 expired on 14 September. Mister Donut's MILO tie-up ended on 13 September. Krispy Kreme's Teachers' Day free half dozen ran on 4 September only. Mister Donut's Mocchurin Mochi Donuts and Krispy Kreme's $1.90 juice add-on both ended on 31 August. Dunkin's Sunny Egg Sundays and teddy bear purchase-with-purchase are no longer promoted on any Dunkin' channel, and J.CO's two August runs have closed.
Removed in September: Sourbombe Artisanal Bakery, our former No. 6. Its own online store says it is "closed for now", its website has lapsed, Wisma Atria no longer lists it, and its One Holland Village shop has closed. We will add it back if it reopens.
For a group this week, Krispy Kreme wins on value: pay for a dozen and walk away with 18, which is a third off per doughnut, as long as the free six being Original Glazed suits everyone. Go early, because each outlet only gets a limited number of free sets a day, and the deal ends on 7 October. After that, the cheapest twelve is Dunkin's Naughty Lil' Treats at $29.50, which undercuts Krispy Kreme's $33.88 box by $4.38 and throws in a drink. Read what that price buys, though: it covers 12 regular donuts, premium ones cost extra, and Dunkin' prints the usual price as $30.70, so you save $1.20. Mister Donut's buy 10, get 2 free is the only bulk offer here that runs every day of the week.
For yourself, Mister Donut is still the cheapest per piece in store at $2.60 to $3.20, and the only chain with a Halloween range this month. Order it for delivery and you are buying boxes, from $26.80 for 10, or $20.50 for the 6-piece Halloween box. Students should plan around the exclusion list: the $3.90 pair is worth a detour to a heartland outlet, but a wasted trip to Paragon or Jewel costs more than it saves. For halal, Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' are the certified chains here, with 16 and 23 outlets on the MUIS register when we last searched it on 19 September. One quirk worth knowing: all six outlets barred from the student deal are halal-certified.
Until 7 October, Krispy Kreme gives the most for your money: buy a dozen in one transaction and get 6 Original Glazed free (valued at $17.40), so you take home 18. Only a limited number of free sets are released each day at each outlet. On a plain price for twelve, Dunkin' is cheapest. The Naughty Lil' Treats bundle on its homepage banner is 12 regular donuts plus 1 Dunkin' beverage or 2 Coca-Cola products (500ml) from $29.50, with no end date printed, which undercuts Krispy Kreme's any-dozen box at $33.88 (U.P. $46.80) by $4.38. Two catches: the price covers regular donuts only, and Dunkin' prints the usual price as $30.70, so the headline saving is just $1.20. Mister Donut is the cheapest per piece in store, from $2.60, and its buy 10, get 2 free runs every day; order it for delivery and the smallest unit is a box, from $26.80 for 10. Students get the lowest headline price of all: 2 Original Glazed for $3.90 instead of $5.80, every Monday and Tuesday from 2.30pm to 5.30pm with a valid student pass, but not at Bugis Junction, Changi Airport Terminal 3, Jewel Changi Airport, Paragon, Suntec City or VivoCity.
Mister Donut has the only Halloween range among the chains in this guide. Pon De Lion's Spooky Treats, posted on 27 September, has three donuts at $3.20 each in store: Spidey, a chocolate donut in citrus chocolate topped with an Oreo; Mummy, a fluffy donut wrapped in chocolate with a creamy centre; and Monsta, a chewy Pon de Ring in citrus chocolate and Oreo crumbs. For delivery they come as a Mixed Box of 6 for $20.50 or a single-flavour box of 10 for $34.20. Its savoury Flossy Pon De Lion, in chicken floss and spicy chicken floss, is still $2.80. Dunkin's newest are Choco Naughty and Nutty Naughty ($3.55 each on its delivery store). Krispy Kreme's Autumn Series (Citrus Kunafa, Strawberry Kunafa, Apple Krumbles and Hershey's ChocoNana) ended on 27 September, and it has not announced a Halloween line yet.
Yes, and the big chains are the surer bet. On MUIS's halal establishment register, re-searched on 19 September 2026, 16 Krispy Kreme outlets are certified, including Paragon, Suntec City, VivoCity, Bugis Junction, Jewel and Changi Airport Terminal 3, along with its central kitchen, and 23 Dunkin' outlets are certified, including ION Orchard, Plaza Singapura, Jurong Point, Causeway Point and Changi Airport Terminal 2. Certification is per outlet, so check that your branch is on the register or displays its certificate. Mister Donut and J.CO have no outlets on the register, whether you search by brand, by their operator RE&S, or by outlet postal code. Lukumades on Arab Street is widely listed as halal in Singapore halal directories, but nothing comes up for it by name or for its Arab Street postcode, and it publishes no certification of its own, so ask in store if certification matters to you. Sourbombe, previously MUIS-certified, is no longer on the register and its shop is closed for now.
Krispy Kreme does not publish a positive list, it publishes an exclusion list, which is the more useful thing to know. The $3.90 student deal runs at participating outlets islandwide EXCEPT Bugis Junction, Changi Airport Terminal 3, Jewel Changi Airport, Paragon, Suntec City and VivoCity. Those six cover Orchard, HarbourFront, Bugis and both airport locations, which is why so many students turn up and get charged full price. Heartland and suburban outlets are your best bet, and local operator Manna 360's store locator lists 32 Krispy Kreme stores islandwide as of September 2026, so there is usually one nearby. Worth knowing: all six excluded stores are MUIS halal-certified, so if you need both the student price and a certified counter, you are out of luck at those six. If your nearest store is one of the excluded six, use a different offer there: the Children's Day buy a dozen, get 6 Original Glazed free runs at all outlets from 1 to 7 October, and the $33.88 any-dozen box carries no outlet exclusions on Krispy Kreme's own post.
At full price, Krispy Kreme's own posted usual price for any dozen is $46.80 (half dozen $23.40), but the box deal it announced in September brings that down to $33.88 (about $2.82 a doughnut) and $17.99. From 1 to 7 October, any dozen also earns 6 free Original Glazed for Children's Day, so 18 doughnuts cost the price of 12. On a plain price for twelve, Dunkin' is the one to beat: its Naughty Lil' Treats bundle prices 12 regular donuts plus a drink from $29.50, against a usual price it prints as $30.70. Its own delivery store separately lists an Assorted Dozen at $27 and an Assorted Half Dozen at $13.50, with single donuts from $2.70, though online prices run above in-store ones. Mister Donut's buy 10, get 2 free applies every day, and at $2.60 to $3.20 a piece in store it is the cheapest chain per donut, but its delivery store sells only boxes of 10, from $26.80. Prices change, so confirm on the brand's app or in-store.
Mister Donut's Pon de Ring is made from a mochi-like dough shaped as connected balls in a ring, giving it a springy, chewy, bouncy texture and a lighter sweetness, quite different from the soft, cakey or yeasted crumb of a classic American donut like Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed.
Most of them. Krispy Kreme delivers via GrabFood and foodpanda. Mister Donut runs its own online store for delivery and pickup, with next-day delivery on orders placed by 6pm and a flat delivery fee from $10 on a $50 minimum. Lukumades is on foodpanda, and Dunkin' and J.CO are available through the major delivery apps too. Freshly fried items like Lukumades' loukoumades are best eaten in-store, because they lose their crunch in a delivery box, so order those for pickup if you can.
