Dapper Doughnut
8889 Gateway Blvd W, El Paso, TX
Crema's Take
“Tucked into the Fountains shopping area, Dapper Doughnut is a spirited spot where you can watch fresh mini donuts being made right before your eyes, creating that irresistible just-fried magic that keeps people coming back. The vibe here is eclectic and fun—think TikTok-worthy moments with a friendly crew like Maraih leading the charge—and while the pastries are petite and admittedly messy in the best way possible, they're a delightful departure from standard donut shop fare.”

Nice little spot in the fountains, didn’t expect the donuts to be so small at least they’re fresh. The website photos threw me off but still yummy.
All I have to say is WOW!!! I was NOT expecting these mini donuts to be so damn good! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Maraih in the front was really friendly and extremely courteous. She did an amazing job at making out donuts. Again, yall seriously need to give them a try! SO DELICIOUS!
A unique and fun way to experience donuts! Awesome service beautiful location, different shops , very eclectic!
Saw The Dapper Donut on TikTok and I had to pull up 😍 Located right here in El Paso, this spot is a whole vibe! From fresh-made mini donuts cooked right in front of you 🍩 to their iconic ice cream creations—I had to try the Homer and YES, it was giving full Simpsons movie nostalgia 💗🍦 (remember when Homer went wild over that donut shop? Yeah, that!) They’ve got tons of donut flavors to pick from—fruity, chocolatey, cinnamony—you name it. You can also grab drinks, mix-and-match ice cream flavors, and chill with a fountain view. Super affordable, super cute, and the customer service? 10/10. Whether you’re out solo, with your boo, or bringing the fam, this place is totally worth it. Donut miss it! 😉
Donuts were okay but nothing I would go out of my way for. They are super messy compared to standard donuts as the frosting doesn’t set up. Since they are fresh and come out hot and directly put into the box they are soggy. None of ours looked like the display and they were decorated sloppy. The store was busy so maybe they were hurrying? The best was the Nutella Dream, but again, it was different from the display and not what I was expecting. Great concept, not as great execution, and overpriced. Nothing horrible but nothing amazing.
