This place is super exciting: real donuts (they boast their mixes are imported from the US) with authentic frosting. Way better than Krispy Kreme donuts, and a lot more selection (glazed, eclairs, chocolate, jelly-filled, etc.). 6rmb each: but they're worth it. The only downfalls are that there isn't much else appealing there (drinks are comparatively expensive) and that you should get there early (as others have mentioned in previous reviews) because they do not restock their selection during the day. But definitely worth checking out before about noon.

What could be a more ideal breakfast than three to six donuts and several mugs of black coffee? Daylight Donuts has made it possible for me to enjoy this great start to the day. Before Daylight Donuts came to Beijing, it was either make your own donuts at home from scratch (huge mess involved) or eat some nasty, gross, oily youtiao from a waidi street vendor, maybe with a side of cat meat sandwich. Of course, chug all that local tasty goodness down with a warm, rancid soy milk. Yuk. Donuts are so much better.

The only negative thing I would have to say about this place is that it's not close enough to my pad! If they were right nearby, I'd probably get breakfast here three times a week and have a super-sized gut by now.

My favorite donut here is the chocolate donut with chocolate frosting. The original glazed were pretty decent too. The jelly donut reminded me somewhat of a Dunkin' Donuts jelly donut, but it tasted a little more nutritious.

Prices are steeper than I'd expect, I recall that it's around 6 kuai per donut, but you're paying for quality. This is not your Wal-Mart Chinese style donut that tastes like cardboard with some sugar on top – it's an actual, American-style, delicious donut. You get what you pay for.

Daylight even delivers donuts by the dozen to nearby locations, in the event you're ordering for your office's weekly "donut day". They had complimentary Wi-Fi access last time I was there.

The menu has been Chinese-ized to include some stir fry dishes and soups, nothing remotely close to their core specialty of donuts. I've not been tempted to try the non-donut items, but my advice is to stick to the donuts and coffee. Delicious, authentic, and a relaxed, laid back breakfast atmosphere.

finally, a donut store in Beijing, with reasonable price too! Been only to the Xidan branch, but unfortunately the place is too small, too open and kinda noisy.
