Worth a drive from any part of the state, the shop’s potato flour donuts – a.k.a. spudnuts – aren’t thick and dense like most potato flour-based donuts. Instead, they’re light, fluffy, and downright delicious.

In addition to the signature donuts, the simple, no-frills menu features cinnamon rolls, éclairs, and donut holes.
