Our Story

Welcome to Doughheads:

We’re expertly crafted doughnuts and gelato, made with some serious Big Dough Energy! We make everything we can from scratch; from our custard, icings, biscuit crumble and pastry to our fruit compotes and marshmallows, you name it, we’re dough-ing it.

Our Story:

It all began when Anna Farthing, Doughheads’ Founder and Creative Director, decided to gut a room in her house to build a semi-commercial kitchen. The kicker: doughnuts were meant to be a fun side project.

Anna's passion was born from the desire to delight people, be creative, build community, challenge the status quo and create a culture shift within small business where we where we support and connect with each other, rather than see everyone as the 'competition'.

Fast forward 8 years and we’ve crafted more doughnuts than we can count, added gelato as a delicious new product and call our flagship retail store in Newcastle, NSW, home. We’re a team of fun and passionate creatives who love what we do. Yep, every last crumb. We use real ingredients and create an experience with every bite.
