With a vibrant brand identity, strong social media following, and simple operational structure, Brooklyn Donuts represents a fun, scalable, and profitable franchise model in Australia’s modern food landscape.

How the Franchise Started?

Brooklyn Donuts was founded in Melbourne, Australia, inspired by the bold, indulgent flavours of New York City’s artisan donut scene.

The brand began when a group of passionate pastry lovers and café entrepreneurs recognised an opportunity to bring handcrafted, premium donuts — freshly made daily — to Australian customers craving something beyond the ordinary.

Launched in the late 2010s, Brooklyn Donuts combined American-style creativity with Australian-quality ingredients, quickly building a loyal fanbase through its vibrant designs, limited-edition flavours, and Instagram-worthy presentation.

From its first flagship store, the brand expanded across Victoria and New South Wales, developing into a modern, boutique-style franchise focused on quality, freshness, and visual appeal.

Today, Brooklyn Donuts represents a fusion of craft baking, café culture, and contemporary retail — a recipe for long-term growth in Australia’s thriving dessert market.
