Daylight Donuts

Donut shop on Bluff Street baking fresh each morning, with build-your-own boxes and brewed coffee.

Daylight Donuts traces to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where it began in 1954, and it operates by supplying its flour mix to independently owned shops rather than running company stores — which is why a Daylight shop is usually a local business rather than a corporate outlet. Bluff Street is the old highway through town, beneath the sandstone ridge it takes its name from.

About the craft

Daylight's supply model is genuinely unusual in fast food: rather than franchising a restaurant format, it sells its mix and equipment to independent operators, so shops carry the name without being corporate outlets. Donuts are fried rather than baked, which is what gives the pale band around the middle where the dough sat at the surface of the oil.

Frequently asked questions

Is Daylight Donuts a chain?

Not in the usual sense. It began in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1954 and supplies its mix and equipment to independently owned shops rather than running company outlets, so a Daylight shop is generally a local business.

Why do donuts have a pale band around the middle?

Because they are fried rather than baked — the band marks where the dough sat at the surface of the oil.
