Manna’s Donuts — Restaurant in Boise

VERDICT: A must-eat donut stop. I am an instant fan. Go try it right now and stop reading this... unless you want to read my needlessly thorough breakdown.

UPDATE: THE MAPLE BAR is perfection. No need for the bacon. Both are good, but the maple bar as-is constitutes donut perfection in well-executed simplicity.

THE MAPLE BACON: There were two donuts that absolutely killed it: the fritter and the maple bacon. Admittedly, I've had more than a few lackluster maple bacon donuts-- from too greasy to too chewy-- but this one delivers a decisive quality that plays all the notes to perfection. The bacon bits deliver salt and savory to the (excellent) maple icing. The smokiness of the bacon is 1/10 for strength, adding a very small note within the overall motif. The slightly crisp exterior and slightly chewy interior deliver excellent textures to back the donut's flavors.

THE OLD FASHION DONUT: This donut rides the division between two camps of old fashion donuts skillfully: the cakier style, and the sour cream style. It dodges being too light and too greasy, respectively, to deliver a crisp, heavy crumbly crumb to your old fashion cake donut. I loved this fact but my wife noted her dissenting opinion as she is a staunch sour cream old fashioned fan. I am not.

THE APPLE FRITTER: Excellent blend, also avoiding lacking rise or being too cakey. Great flavor and the apple accents without overwhelming the flavor or texture.

THE OTHERS: Excellent executions of these donuts, but was less captivated based on the types of donuts they are. The quality was superb.

BATTER NOTES: If I had to sleuth what makes these donuts superior many of the others I've had in the valley, it has to be their batter. Their donuts have a slightly more flavorful "bread" to it, with texture and sponge of the "bread" itself being crisp in flavor, leaning slightly more toward a yeast heavy dough. Even when they go dense with their sponge, it doesn't overwhelm them, and their toppings balance the...

So cute! Little food truck with great, freshly made donuts. They open early and are open through the afternoon which is nice. You can't get a decent pastry anywhere else in this area of town so it's a real treat. They've got awesome coffees, including espressos from Dawson Taylor too which saves me a stop somewhere else. It's not really a donut without a good cup of coffee on the side. The donuts are the perfect texture and just the right sweetness level. You also don't even pay any more for a dozen than you would at Albertson's down the street and they are a thousand times better. They have options from apple fritters to maple bars to mini donuts and filled donuts so there's something for everyone. It's my new go-to for any event so my next bridal shower will be eating Manna's donuts....
