Since 1945 a family owned multi gen bakery within walking distance of our house.

Everyday they baked 20 pies, 300 donuts, 40 loafs of bread, 200 cookies and flavor of the day cake. A 900sf building, open 5am sold out before 1pm. We had a standing order pickup every Saturday, passed down from grandparents, when we moved in 2022 , our daughter inherited the spot.

Fourth generation is now teaching their preteens. Recipe still original. Family fav is 6” cinnamon roll with a peanut buttercream frosting.

While donut king is ok it’s still a chain, so not even close. In TV our total donut buy is less than a dozen a year. Ya know if one is going to eat empty calories, it needs to be worth your while. Bonus Four times a year family brings special carry on full of donuts/cookies, and bread, from our favorite bakery.
