District Doughnut

"It seems as if District Doughnut is on a very extended vacation. Online ordering at both storefronts are shut down on the shop’s website. A sign on the Wharf’s doors says the location “is taking a break” and directs sweet-toothed customers to the Barracks Row shop, which also appears to be “temporarily closed” on Yelp. The sign also says the operation is taking “a vacation after 12 years of operations.” Oddly, the location only opened in 2018 and the original in Barracks Row has only been around for 10 years." - Emily Venezky

"This bright and cheery doughnut shop draws a diverse crowd the includes Marines stationed across the street at the Barracks, Capitol Hill staffers on their break, and neighborhood families. Offering a rotation selection of decadent, fresh-baked doughnuts and coffee, District Doughnut is anything but ordinary. You can’t go wrong with any of their quirky flavors, but we strongly recommend the Salted Dulce de Leche or the Vanilla Bean Creme Brûlée." - Polygraph

"Thursday night, after the first version of this story published, Mendelsohn Luhn said she had also coordinated meals for the National Guard from District Doughnuts." - Gabe Hiatt

"With doughnut flavors like baklava and chocolate caramel pretzel, District Doughnuts consistently sells out before the afternoon sugar rush hits. While it encourages pickup and delivery pre-orders, same-day delivery can be found on Postmates and Uber Eats." - Vinciane Ngomsi
