We who love donuts in the Land of 10,000 Lakes are fortunate to have as many choices as we do when it comes to those tiny tantalizing toruses. From the mighty Roers in the west to glitzy Glamdolls in the Metro and the self-proclaimed “World’s Best” donuts up near the Canadian border, everybody has their favorite donut and their favorite spot to get it. No matter where one’s loyalties lie, however, just about anybody would agree that Bloedow Bakery in Winona belongs in any conversation about the best donuts in Minnesota. And in saying so, I am definitely willing to put Bloedow’s donuts where my mouth is.

Since 1924, Bloedow Bakery has been a stalwart in the Bluff Country community of Winona.
