Best Donuts in Paris at Boneshaker

Best Donuts in Paris at Boneshaker Doughnuts… The brain child of pastry chef Amanda Bankert and her husband, Louis Scott. They were inspired to call the shop “Boneshaker” from the first type of bicycle with pedals invented in France in the 19th century. We love trying cafes in Paris and Boneshaker Doughnuts did not disappoint!

All of the donuts and other tasty snacks are 100% homemade and made on the premises inside the donut shop on the rue d’Aboukir. Really good filtered coffee, using beans from the famous Belleville Brulerie, is also served, along with espresso.

The donut flavors

The day we visited Boneshaker, we were delighted to be able to taste the seasonal donut available at the time.: the gorgeous and delicious pink, fig donut! Each day, a variety of classic donuts (classic cinnamon and sugar, O.G. or original glazed, salted caramel, beer/lager glazed, rich chocolate cardamom glaze filled with vanilla pastry cream & chocolate stout donut with chocolate and stout glaze and torched marshmallow topping) are served in addition to a seasonal confection. These change regularly but you can get an idea of what is being served at any given moment on Boneshaker Doughnut’s Instagram page.

Just look at that tasty drip! Heavenly.

Next time we go back, we are planning to taste some of the classic flavors. The rich chocolate cardamom glaze filled with vanilla pastry cream has my name all over it!
