Wyman's Spudnuts — Restaurant in Okoboji

Just my personal opinion, but i do not care for the "custom" donut shop. It creates long waits, which may be by design? But once i got to be next in line, i waited for a family of 6 to customize their donuts for almost another 10 minutes.

The donuts themselves... the cinnamon twists are almost pretzel like? Dry and they need more of that cinnamony goodness that is in a typical cinnamon roll. I would not get them again.

Donut holes were very good. I would probably just get those if i come back.

My wife liked her cinnamon puff.

Frosted donuts were solid, but too thick imo. Too hard to eat without making a mess and just too much donut to eat through without glaze.

I know it's in a "resort town", but they cost at least 50% more than my favorite local donut shop back home in...

Rated Iowa's Best Donut Shop in 2019 by Big Seven Travel.

I don't know how they don't keep winning.

Our favorites were the Maple pecan and chocolate pecan - and you can't go wrong with a simple glazed.

Everything was delicious!

What sets this place apart is warm, fresh-out of the fryer, glazed donuts, frosted AFTER you place your order. You get to observe your yummy donut get hand frosted as you wait. The unique open, viewing area allows for an unobscured view to the entire kitchen.

Located in a converted, historic Standard gas-station that features fun and funky art as well as an awesome Donut Mural, perfect for selfies!

Get there early if you would like to enjoy your donuts in house. There is limited seating. Don't forget a great cup of coffee to go...

We have visited and purchased donuts from Wyman's Spudnuts several times this past Summer and Fall. We live fairly close so we have learned the best times to pop in to avoid the long lines and wait times. But it is always best to call in you order the day before and totally avoid the lines. The variety and quality of the donuts is really good. The donuts are made fresh and finished right before your eyes. It's quite a show.

Update 8/11/2022 Had a pleasant surprise when I stopped in this morning about 8:30a. No long wait on Thursdays as I have noticed. When I walked up to the counter to place my order the lovely lady greeted me by my first name. She has remembered me from my previous visit. This blew my mind. And of course the Spudnuts...
