Donut Franchises in the Philippines: Investor’s Guide
Donuts aren’t just food, they’re part of Filipino culture. Whether it’s grabbing a pasalubong box, lining up for a dozen fresh glazed, or snacking on Choco Butternut while stuck in traffic, donuts are a small indulgence people happily spend on. That makes franchising a donut shop a sweet investment move.
Here’s a breakdown of the top active donut franchises in the Philippines today with updated costs, product highlights, and even what real people are saying online.
Mister Donut
Mister Donut has been a staple pasalubong brand for decades. Its strength lies in affordability, convenience kiosks, and wide flavor variety. Recently, it’s been making waves by introducing Japan-inspired treats.
Popular products
- Pon de Ring mochi donuts, a chewy Japanese-style variant that’s been a hit in new branches like One Ayala and SM Megamall

- Seasonal and limited editions announced via their Facebook page
Franchise Snapshot
- Franchise fee: ~₱100,000
- Estimated capital investment: ~₱310,000 (varies by format)
- Contract term: 3 years (renewable)

What people say online
“Mister Donut never gets any love. The classic king for 35 pesos is good. It’s like a bigger version of Krispy Kreme original.” – Reddit
Happy Haus Donuts
Happy Haus is the budget warrior in the donut space. Their kiosks thrive in smaller neighborhoods where big brands don’t bother setting up, giving entrepreneurs low-cost access to a steady snacking market.
Popular products
- Tsok Butternut, their own twist on the iconic butternut flavor
- Strawberry Overload, Tsoko Supremo, Black Forest, Tsoko-Vanilla Flower
- Affordable ring and cake donuts with consistent taste

What people say online
“Top tier… if you factor in the PRICE… Cheap yet delectable. Affordable heaven.” – Facebook comment
“Consistent kasi sa Happy Haus… Mas prefer ko Bavarian nila kasi napaka-soft.” – Reddit
Krispy Kreme
Think premium, mall-based, and Instagram-worthy. Krispy Kreme has the strongest global recognition, but it requires big capital. In the Philippines, it’s run by The Real American Doughnut Co. (TRADI) under Max’s Group.
Popular products
- Original Glazed, their undisputed best-seller
- Assorted Dozens featuring filled donuts, chocolate variations, and seasonal specials
Franchise Snapshot
- Estimated capital investment: ₱30M+ (for full-store setups)

What people say online
“Mas makakatipid ang KK… magfocus na lang sila sa OG Glazed… masterpiece na.” – Reddit
“KK dahil sa original glazed, lalo na pag bagong luto.” – Reddit
Dunkin’
Dunkin’ has built its empire on being “ang pasalubong ng bayan.” Affordable, nostalgic, and everywhere, it balances mass-market appeal with franchise accessibility. If there’s one brand nearly every Pinoy has tried, it’s this.
Popular products
- Choco Butternut, Bavarian, and Boston Kreme are fan favorites
- Munchkins, especially Butternut, loved by kids and adults alike
Franchise Snapshot
- Franchise fee and investment: Starts at ~₱200,000 for kiosks, larger packages scale upward

“Choco butternut and boston cream.” – Reddit
Final Bites of Advice
Check the fine print. Franchise fees are just the start. Add in royalties, advertising costs, and supply chain requirements.
Scout your location. A kiosk near an MRT exit can outperform a pricey mall lease.
Learn from the crowd. Customer loyalty online can tell you a lot, people do get passionate about their favorite donut flavors.
Franchising a donut shop isn’t just about selling sweets. It’s about finding the right balance of cost, location, and brand power.
