Doughnuts!

I love Doughnuts.

Now that I’ve gotten that confession out of the way I’ll also admit that over the past couple months the pregnant one and I have eaten a lot of doughnuts.  Every time I’ve been within a mile of a well reviewed doughnut shop I’ve stopped to get my wife a treat slash I wanted one and I knew she would appreciate it.

So with all the doughnuts we have devoured over these past few months here are my favorites.

1.  Do-Rite Donuts

I read about this place when it opened but because it’s in the loop I wasn’t able to make my way there.  Luckily my lovely sister Abbie last fall picked us up some because she loved them and ever since then I’ve found my favorite doughnut in the city-The Old Fashioned.

The Buttermilk Old Fashioned is the perfect doughnut.  The right mixture of cake and glaze that fills the tastes buds.  Do-Rite doesn’t only have one Old Fashioned but has the Lemon, Cinnamon Crunch, Chocolate, and the Double Chocolate Old Fashioned.  The doughnuts are huge and are worth every penny.

2.  The Doughnut Vault

The glazed doughnuts here are so big and unlike any doughnut I’ve had before.  They are a little expensive but when you only make it a special trip it is well worth the money and time spent in line.

Personal favorite here is the Double Chocolate-can never have enough of that glaze.

3.  Dinkel’s Bakery

The first time I had their Chocolate Doughnut my eyes were opened to a new world of doughnuts, one where Dunkin’ was ousted for the stale rock like treats that they are.

I am biased on this ranking because I lived across the street from this bakery and smelled them each morning I woke up.

4.  Glazed and Infused.

5.  Enoch’s Donuts at Endgrain.

Counted down the days for the opening of Endgrain and ran over there the day it opened, happening to be their first customer that day.

I was a little disappointed because they are quite expensive for such a little donut.  Then one day I returned and discovered the doughscuit.  A doughnut and biscuit combined.  It was heavenly.

Along these stops over the past couple months I’ve also enjoyed City Dough, Stan’s, and Firecakes.  Firecakes was amazing but one of my doughnuts was missing filling which caused it to be bumped from the list.
