A beloved cafe known for serving some of the best doughnuts in Wales is bidding farewell to its loyal customers after a “wild ride”. That Doughnut Place, located in Glynneath, has built a devoted following over the years for its freshly made artisanal doughnuts. The family-owned business, which has been operating for four years, recently announced its decision to close its doors on Saturday, October 19, citing personal circumstances.
In a heartfelt statement, the owners expressed gratitude to their supporters and hinted at the possibility of future pop-up events where doughnuts could still be enjoyed. The closure marks the end of a chapter for the cafe but signals the start of new ventures for the owners. They shared that a new focus on exciting projects awaits, including the continuation of their doughnuts at occasional pop-ups and special events.
While the cafe will cease regular operations, the business assured fans that they can still savour their favourite treats at pop-up events and catering services, with new products on the horizon. The Square, the cafe’s current location, will transition into a space for hosting events and private celebrations, adding to the array of offerings from the That Doughnut Place team.
The owners expressed their heartfelt thanks to the customers, staff, and communities that have supported them throughout their journey. They acknowledged the valuable role played by their loyal customers, early supporters, and local community in Glynneath and beyond. The outpouring of support and affection for their doughnuts has been a cornerstone of their success, driving them to explore new opportunities with renewed enthusiasm.
As they bid farewell to their current setup, the owners shared their excitement for the future and the next chapter awaiting their business. With plans to focus on new projects and events, That Doughnut Place remains committed to delivering their signature sweet treats to doughnut enthusiasts in Wales.
