Daylight Donuts — Restaurant in Pleasant Grove

A friend of mine raved about their maple bars and since we are maple bar fans, I had to go and investigate. Purchased 4 maple bars and 2 regular size donuts. First off, they charge $1.99 for their maple bars, which is pricey! Our all time favorite donut shop is Cowboy Donuts in Spanish Fork, but today, didn’t brave the drive. They are def worth the 45 minutes round trip EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Today, I was cramped for time and settled to come here. Cowboy charges 50 cents less for their maple bars, and quality is far more superior than Daylight donuts. I noticed their regular size donuts are a bit smaller than Cowboys too. The texture of Daylight donuts is a bit more dense than what I’m used to. I took a couple of bites of the maple, a bite of their glazed, and a bite of their chocolate iced. In my opinion, not worth the calories! I consider myself a donut connoisseur - and if you do too, this place is not for you. Lesson learned, just do the drive to Cowboy Donuts if you want quality/superior donuts. The gal who helped me was friendly enough though. I asked her why the maple bars are so expensive, and she said flour prices have gone up, and their donuts are hand made. Well guess what, so is Cowboy Donuts! She argued with me in a friendly way to justify the recent price change. I think people come here because this is what we have in Pleasant Grove, convenience. I gave the rest of the donuts to the kiddos, at their age, they...

Donuts are one of the three great loves of my life: pizza, donuts, and my husband. (But not always in that order.) My family has been going to the Daylight Donuts location in Pleasant Grove for almost 20 years, and I can honestly say that my love for donuts began when I had my first Daylight Donuts maple bar at the age of 6. I have tried donuts at upward of 100 different places, and I have yet to find ANYWHERE with better donuts. I mean seriously...their maple bars and donut holes are to die for! I have never had a bad experience here with food, customer service, or parking, which is very impressive considering the number of times I've stopped by. However, this wouldn't be an honest review if I didn't bring up the only downside I've noticed about this place: this is a small store, and occasionally, they are a little overcrowded. The line inside can be out the door, or even backed up all the way to the street for the drive-through window. This tends to happen on Saturday mornings. I would suggest getting there early in the morning or maybe around lunchtime on Saturdays, or going on a different day of the week. Thank you to the wonderful ladies and gentlemen who have worked here over the past 20 years. You have changed my life! :) Trust me, folks...you will not be disappointed...

These donuts are the BEST in Utah! Our faves are all of the raised donuts and filled bearclaws...specifically the Strawberry Cream Cheese and Nutella ones. The filled bearclaws are the perfect combo of crunch and cream! Their raised donuts are light and fluffy with frosting that is on point! What makes this location our family's fave is the super friendly staff! They always great us with a smile and are super patient when I can't make up my doggone mind on which flavor I want to tickle my tastebuds! You can tell that they put a lot of love into their doughnuts and value their customers. (Super plus, they have a drive thru!!!) Thank you DD in PG! Yall...
