Hialeah is getting a serious new sugar fix. Yonutz, the Florida-born doughnut-and-ice-cream concept known for its over-the-top smashed donut sandwiches, is gearing up to open a local storefront that will serve hot-pressed donut-and-ice-cream sandwiches, towering milkshakes, and breakfast sandwiches stacked on either croissants or doughnuts. There is no official opening date yet, but the incoming shop is expected to bring many of the brand’s playful flavors and camera-ready creations to Hialeah.
Permits Filed For Hialeah Location
Permit applications submitted by Miami Yonutz 1, LLC to the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation list 3140 West 84th Street, Unit 8 as the planned Hialeah address, according to What Now. That report identifies Rashid Elghoul as the franchisee who will run the shop and notes that an official opening date has not yet been confirmed. The unit sits in a neighborhood retail strip on Hialeah’s west side and is set to join other quick-serve and dessert spots already drawing foot traffic in the area.
Menu Highlights And The Smashed Donut
At the center of the menu is Yonutz’s signature Smashed Donut - a doughnut filled with ice cream and then quickly pressed in a panini-style press, according to Yonutz. The brand’s line-up includes flavors such as apple pie, birthday cake, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, strawberry sprinkles, and dulce de leche, along with Smashed Milkshakes and breakfast sandwiches built on croissants or doughnuts. The company also promotes catering services, loyalty perks, and event bookings through its official channels.
Growing Footprint Beyond Sunrise
The concept started in Sunrise and has grown through franchising, with earlier openings and franchised storefronts appearing beyond South Florida, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. That broader expansion helps explain why Yonutz keeps showing up in suburban retail centers and shopping plazas where experiential dessert concepts tend to thrive. Hialeah customers can expect the same warm-and-cold combinations and bold toppings that have fueled the chain’s growth elsewhere.
What To Watch For Next
There is still no announced opening date, and the usual permit-to-occupancy process means locals may notice movement in city paperwork before they see a ribbon-cutting. Yonutz’s website and social media pages are where the brand typically posts grand-opening details and hiring updates, according to Yonutz. For now, keep an eye on the storefront and municipal records to see when Hialeah’s newest sugar stop is ready to start serving smashed donut creations.
