Blue Mountain Donut Company — Restaurant in Joseph

[ ] Donut holes- glazed and cinnamon - solid, standard donut holes. Not my favorite but still very very good. [ ] Old fashioned - crisp exterior and super light interior. Not the moist, dense experience I'm used to with these. I prefer the dense and moist version more but this was a really good version of an old fashioned. [ ] Chocolate glazed donut- one of the best chocolate glazed donuts I can remember. Top 3. Super soft donut with one of our favorite chocolate glazes. [ ] Glazed twist- good, solid donut. Not quite perfect texture but really close. Soft with a good glaze. I'd get again. [ ] Cream cheese cinnamon roll - mostly cream cheese flavor. Good texture on the cinnamon roll but not a ton of flavor. I'd get again just because of my frosting obsession. [ ] Blueberry fritter- not a great texture for me. Crisp and slightly dry in places. weird chemical flavor for me that lingers. Whitney liked. [ ] Apple fritter- great texture and flavor when you get apple pieces. I would get again. [ ] Caramel bar- more chocolate flavor than caramel but good caramel texture. Quite tasty. Don't have to have again but I'd definitely eat it again. [ ] White chocolate macadamia nut cookie- ultra soft. Very sweet. Good cookie flavor. I'd get again. Whitney didn't like...

Doughnuts and pizza to-go in a small town. Service and cleanliness impeccable; traditional fried doughnuts above average, particularly cake style doughnuts; atmosphere inside is just the usual busy neighborhood doughnut shop; atmosphere outside is an inviting hand-painted sign with hanging flower baskets, unfortunately cluttered with a faded cloth flag. Back to food quality: all offerings were visually attractive; however, fillings were obviously purchased readymade and of inferior taste and appearance; raised doughnuts were lofty, but dry; old-fashioneds were the closest to made-from-scratch and worth buying again; puff pastry was improperly made, with inadequate incorporation of butter into flour, a notoriously difficult and astoundingly time-consuming process. Given that, the baker should be lauded for trying and urged to keep improving technique, because the resulting properly laminted and richly flaky pastry will gain many more buyers willing to go out of their way for this treat.

I wish the owners of this new business well, but hope they are able over time to improve the quality of...

This was our first time to the Wallowas and Joseph. We planned a couple of gravel bike rides in the area and when I saw there was a little donut shop right in town, I knew it had to be our first stop. We were greeted with rows of the freshest donuts and a cheery smile from the owner. I am a fritter fanatic and saw a flavor I'd never seen before, blueberry. Hands down, without peer, the best fritter I've ever had. I bought a few donut holes and my partner got her glazed and we gently placed them in our bike bags for later. Went back the next day for more and saw another fritter I've never seen before, cherry. And they had chocolate cake donuts which they didn't have the day before. Another star for sheer variety and keeping it interesting day to day. I assure you Blue Mountain Donuts has a deep understanding of the process and craft of making incredible donuts. I appreciate what you've brought to this little town. Honestly, worth the trip to Joseph. If there was ever a destination donut...
