Soft vanilla donuts with millennial strawberry pink glaze, adorable pink and white sprinkles and a Ferrero Rocheron top? We’re in! Buttery Factory is a small hole in the wall donut shop on the same floor as the bookstore Eslite in Causeway Bay, churning out hundreds of donuts from scratch daily. Their donuts are a delight both to the tastebuds and the eyes. Their menu has a balance of both traditional flavors as well as the more surprising and controversial yet delicious combination - think smoked bacon, a whole egg tart, and barbeque chips - because why not?

One of the latest bakeries in Sheung Wan and serving fantastic donuts as well as other delicious pastry items, both European and Asian inspired. The donuts have a bit of far-east flavor to them, think red bean, matcha, and taro. They are also slightly denser and larger than your standard donut. A delicious mouthful.
