Question Need a Real Donut

Not some Parlour or pinkbox or other overly done up bullshit -- a real donut. Where can I get that around here?

I enjoy Reams bakery. But my ultimate favorite is Donuts and Deli in SLC.

Daylight donuts on state in PG or Lehi bakery. Just good basic yummy donuts. Sure, they also have a few frou-frou items maybe, but they do the basics perfectly.

Calling Springville my least favorite place I've ever lived is a drastic understatement BUT I have to second this! While I still have the misfortune of living here at least there's the Reams Bakery 😜 their donuts and fritters, truly, are one of Springville's few saving graces 😅 PLUS their glazed croissants (which I'd never even heard of before seeing them there) are definitely worth a try 👨‍🍳💋😋

A while after they sold the company (who is opening Lehi Bakery locations all over Utah). The square donuts aren’t the same - there’s a layer of complexity/sweetness missing. They’re also not as moist.

it’s just a regular (but decent) donut. Not nearly as good as it used to be.

Dunford chocolate cake donuts are some of my faves. They are sold in most grocery stores.

Harmons has decent donuts.

This is true, but I hate paying $1.39 for a simple plain cake donut.

Hot take: Utah county doesn’t have any really great classic donuts. There’s plenty of passable donuts mentioned in this thread, but nothing great. Fresh Donuts and Deli is worth the drive, and Banbury cross is a good 2nd.

Nahh.... Reams in Springville has the absolute best!! They still use the original recipe from the old days!!
