Discontinued Foods!: Happy National Donut Day! What are your TOP 3 donut varieties?

Happy National Donut Day! What are your TOP 3 donut varieties?

When done well, my top 3 are: 1. Sour Cream Glazed 2. Apple Fritter 3. Glazed Chocolate Honorable mention to crullers, and both white creme and Bavarian creme Shout out to Ridge Donuts and Donuts Delite in Rochester for being the local donut kings, I salute you!

For my own part, the simple pleasure of a simple cake donut is incomparable. A Krispy Kreme glazed donut is a delicate wonder. A good boston creme brings joy.

I can't ever seem to find them anymore, but I was a strong fan of Bavarian creme, which basically are a jelly dount except with creme inside (so no chocolate coating, just powdered sugar)

You can't? I haven't been out for donuts in a while but I seem to recall they're usually on the shelf right next to the Boston Creme. Many shops don't make a particular variety if nobody buys them there, so maybe it's a local thing?

it may be a local thing, yeah. But not even the Dunkin donuts that have opened here have them. Boston creme? Absolutely. Bavarian creme...not so much.

If you're deciding between the two, the chocolate icing seems like an obvious upgrade?

Grew up on Schutt's Apple Mill fried cakes and Tops or Wegmans apple fritters. Nowadays? Glazed chocolate, or a maple bar if one is available.

A Schutt's fried cake is an elite Fall treat

I'd go with: 1. Sour cream glazed 2. French cruller 3. Chocolate-glazed cake donut with lots of sprinkles

3: Boston Cream. 2: Maple Dip and or Canadian Maple Donut. 1: Vanilla/Chocolate and or Strawberry Dipped Donut with Sprinkles (I'm a basic bitch).

The cakey softness of a donut mixed in with the crispiness of the frosting and the crispiness of the sprinkles is just so fucking good

I like a good Krispy Kreme glazed donut and any real good frosted donuts

I'm good with these. Maybe swap the apple fritter for a jelly or creme filled.

I like sour cream glazed too, esp. When they're fresh. not top 3 but probably the "safe" fallback at donut shops of unknown quality

Sour cream is the best doughnut.of all time. Not a fan of glaze, but powdered sugar or plain are fantastic coffee dunkers.

Custard Long John (specifically from Looney Baker in Livonia, MI) Cinnamon Sugar donuts you get at cider mill Sour cream donut.

Eclair from Madsen's Donuts @juanchos.bsky.social Glazed Jelly donut from Doughnut Plant, any good sour cream old fashioned

oh man, I still haven’t had Doughnut Plant but I hear it’s elite

Big time. You can do the Lower East Side Breakfast Triathlon. Russ and Daughters for Lox, walk to Grand Street for a Bialy from Kossar's and then hit the original Doughnut Plant next door. Bonus Event: grab a quart from The Pickle Guys on the corner

Must be a Michigan thing with all the cider mill donuts I’m seeing. I could use 5 right now

This is pretty close to my top 3 as well!

1. Sour cream glazed 2. Cruller 3. Bavarian creme Honorable mention: box of 1 doz. crazed starving weasels

Elite top 3, but your honorable mention is really more of an Albuquerque thing

Ah, you have excellent taste in music! Like I needed another reason to like you.

Thanks! I'm out here trying my best!

You know the kind!

You got any bear claws?

Wait a minute... I'll go check.

NAAAAAWW!!! WE'RE OUTTA BEAR CLAWS!!!!

Well in that case, what do you have?

Ahh, the smell of warm root beer.

Hide the baby stoats, @sailorrooscout.bsky.social !

The first one is always set in stone: blueberry cake. The other two can rotate, but for now? I'm feeling... coconut and those cinnamon apple cider donuts.

1.) peanut donut (WNY variety: cake donut dipped in glaze, dipped in chopped/crushed peanuts) 2.) chocolate frosted long john w/ custard filling 3.) classic glazed (Shipley rise up)

Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Sugar-coated Raspberry Jelly Filled Glazed yeast donuts from the Amish Shiloh General Store in Hamptonville, North Carolina

Yeah Krispy Kreme rocks

Fried, filled, and frosted/glazed. In other words, DONUTS!

Crueller Sour cream Apple Fritter

This is a rock solid list

Only one

I love a good cruller. The unleashed decadence of a bismarck. And the elegance of a proper glazed donut.

Krispy Kreme had three "Island Time" doughnuts in 2021, and by far the best of these was the Piña Colada. I also like the British style twisted Yum Yums (especially the variety containing raisins) and Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed.

OG hot Krispy Kreme (from the actual store, not gas station/grocery). After that any fall flavored donut

Glazed Ultra Glazed Just a big glob of glaze and a spoon

1. Chocolate-frosted cake donut 2. Glazed buttermilk bar 3. Apple fritter

1. Boston Cream 2. French Crueller 3. Apple Crumb All from Sweetwaters sweetwatersdonuts.com/donuts/

I almost never eat donuts (once or twice a year), but I do enjoy a good French cruller, a Boston Creme, and/or a blueberry donut. Special shout-out to the Holy Donut in and around Portland, Maine, for an undeniably delicious blueberry donut.
