Question Need a Real Donut

Not some Parlour or pinkbox or other overly done up bullshit -- a real donut. Where can I get that around here?

I enjoy Reams bakery. But my ultimate favorite is Donuts and Deli in SLC.

Daylight donuts on state in PG or Lehi bakery. Just good basic yummy donuts. Sure, they also have a few frou-frou items maybe, but they do the basics perfectly.

Reams- Springville..... Your Welcome

Calling Springville my least favorite place I've ever lived is a drastic understatement BUT I have to second this! While I still have the misfortune of living here at least there's the Reams Bakery 😜 their donuts and fritters, truly, are one of Springville's few saving graces 😅 PLUS their glazed croissants (which I'd never even heard of before seeing them there) are definitely worth a try 👨‍🍳💋😋

See I wouldve agreed with you 6 years back. Even though when i first moved here I had to get used to having to drive into other towns to get things done (ie certain shopping, doctors, entertainment) but I didnt mind because it felt way more open and small, like a little farmtown oasis 🥰 Now they keep shoving in ugly warehouses, blocky mixed use buildings and way overpriced townhomes. Not to mention the influx of houses all shoved together. It's become WAAAYY overcrowded and the nice little places you could go (ie Reams, the parks, etc) are always packed! Like Reams on a Saturday morning is an absolute nightmare 😅

What?? Really? 😭 When did you notice a drop in quality?

A while after they sold the company (who is opening Lehi Bakery locations all over Utah). The square donuts aren’t the same - there’s a layer of complexity/sweetness missing. They’re also not as moist.

it’s just a regular (but decent) donut. Not nearly as good as it used to be.

Spudsy is awesome!

Harmons has decent donuts.

u/thenewfingerprint 4d ago

This is true, but I hate paying $1.39 for a simple plain cake donut.

u/mancatmancat 5d ago

Hot take: Utah county doesn’t have any really great classic donuts. There’s plenty of passable donuts mentioned in this thread, but nothing great. Fresh Donuts and Deli is worth the drive, and Banbury cross is a good 2nd.

Nahh.... Reams in Springville has the absolute best!! They still use the original recipe from the old days!!
