Absolutely stellar donuts and coffee! But be ready to waaaaaait!
If you get here late in the day, expect them to be sold out of everything. I arrived at 830 am and there was a line out the door and they were down to their last couple Boston Creams. I prayed hard and managed to get the very last one and let me tell you, that was the best Boston Cream I've ever had. They load it uuuup with cream and their donuts are so fluffy and delicious. It's literally perfect.
I got 5 other donuts too. The maple bacon was my second favorite. I usually think bacon is a bad gimmick but reviews here said it was worth it and they were right! The bacon was actually flavorful and had a crunch to it, adding way more complexity to their amazing maple donuts.
The chocolate raspberry filled was my next favorite. Again it was oozing with filling and the chocolate with raspberry is the best combo.
The lemon drop was also quite nice but the lemon could've been more pronounced. I was hoping for a lemon bar flavor and it almost got there.
The other two donuts I got were cake donuts and I'm not a huge cake donut fan. Especially compared to the perfection of their fluffy donuts. I got fruity pebbles and red velvet. Both very good in their own right and if I had no other choice, I would happily get these again, but I would rather get more Boston creams or even classic glazed over these. The fruity pebbles was better than the red velvet, which was the only donut I didn't finish in my 6 pack.
Not every donut is 10/10 here, but if you know what to get, you'll have an 11/10 experience. I want to try the fritters next.
Oh and their cold brew is easily the best in town. I've had cold brew at most major coffee shops in Sedona. This one...
Read moreI have a great affinity for fresh, homemade donuts. As it happens to be, my birthday is on National Donut day, so I treat myself once a year to find the best possible donut available.
This year I was hiking the Grand Canyon on my birthday, so it didn't work out, but the next day I was in Sedona and happened to see this delightful shop. Although they were a little picked clean at 10:30 (as one would expect in a truly great donut shop) there were still some outstanding selections and I treated myself.
I was not disappointed. I had a Maple Old-Fashioned, and it was one of the best I have had in my life. I followed it with a blueberry, almost as good with great flavor and texture. Not only were the donuts amazing, but as a self-admitted coffee junkie, their cold-brew java was fantastic. Smooth, strong, low bitter with a complex flavor of chocolate, vanilla and caramel notes that pairs perfectly with the round bits of heaven that they make by hand. If they could bottle this magic elixir they could make millions, even in Seattle.
I had the delight of meeting the two owners of this fine establishment, and better, I witnessed the happy banter of the husband and wife team that is this business. I am genuinely thrilled that they have found their calling and have made it into a living that supports them. We need more people like this in our country. And more great donuts.
Sedonuts will be a targeted stop in my next trip through northern Arizona. I am dying to see if they can make a fritter as good as their old...
Read moreFrom out of town. I love doughnuts, I seek them out! I’ve been a professional baker for about 8 years, making doughnuts is what I started with.
I enjoyed the vortex the most, which is a cinnamon roll(baked). They had a “mini vortex” which was actually a coffee roll (fried and glazed). Two totally different animals, same ingredients. Very soft, great texture.
The Apple fritter, my go to doughnut. Chewy, but somewhat soft with actual apple pieces. Decent, but no where near the best I’ve had.
The cake doughnut was very soft and airy which I’m not usually looking for in a cake doughnut, but tasty.
Sad raspberry jelly doughnut. Chewy which could have meant it was underdone or under proofed. The filling was totally taken out of a bucket, like pie filling without the fruit. Very little filling.
Boston cream was a little better, bucket filling, bucket chocolate glazed. Even less filling then the jelly one.
The glazed and chocolate iced were on the denser side as well, which sometimes happens with homemade doughnuts, but my guess is they use a mix you just add water to so the proofing might just be off.
I didn’t realize until I got back home that the staff (the two owners) weren’t wearing masks... disappointment.
Once and done I wouldn’t go here again. You can get the same quality doughnuts from any grocery store. The ingredient they seemed to lack the most was love, any sort of passion for what they were doing. Too honest? From a baker who loves what they do......
