1. Voodoo Donuts
Be prepared to wait in line but it is so worth it! When I went, I tried the classic Voodoo Doll, oh captain my captain (captain crunch topping), and the Voodoo Bubble (frosted donut topped with bubblegum dust). My absolute favorite, no surprise, is the classic voodoo doll. This donut is a classically raised yeast donut. It is filled with tart raspberry jelly and covered in chocolate. Each of them is decorated differently. With ironic satirical names and bold new flavors, Voodoo donuts is definitely a shop that tops all the rest.
2. Mr. Donut
This shop is founded in the United States but now headquartered in Japan. I would highly recommend their chocolate covered yeast donut filled with custard. Let me tell you why this is an amazing choice. They do not fill the donut with a small quarter sized drop of custard. Every bite you take will have the perfect balance of donut, chocolate, and custard. They have a wide variety of special donuts like red velvet, sprinkle, strawberry and blueberry. These soft donuts are delicious and perfect any time of the day.
3. Krispy Kreme
Who doesn't love a hot donut? Krispy Kreme donut shop is home to one of the best glazed donuts I have ever tasted. You can even watch the donuts go through the pearly waterfall of glaze. My preference is eating one fresh just after it has come through from glazing. Look out for the glowing red sign Hot Donuts now! And step on in for a free glazed donut.
4. La Mar's
La Mars' glazed donut holes are some of the best I have ever had. With lots of delicious donut choices, the donut holes are always my favorite. These donut holes are not cake donut holes which are more commonly found. La Mars glazed donut holes are light and sweet. Even if you go in for their amazing donuts, be sure to try a few of their donut holes. You will not be disappointed.
I know many states have their favorites but if you ever visit Colorado be sure to stop by at these donut shops!
