518 Donuts was founded by 3 local gentlemen, from the 518, who have a passion of bringing quality food to the area. They originally opened in their Clifton Park location serving donuts, fried chicken and many gluten-free options. They quickly became popular amongst the locals in the area, and later expanded into Troy for their second location. Their success shined as they were nominated as one of the best restaurants to open in 2021. Clifton Park temporarily closed late 2022 for repairs, but at the same time they announced the grand opening of Troy.
