Joanne is a fourth-generation Northern Californian. She knows good sour dough bread when she tastes it and understands the best parts of the Golden State are nowhere near Los Angeles.
When you think of Northern California, do you think of donuts? You should. We may be one of the most health conscious parts of the world, but even we know when to push aside the granola and kale for something warm and delicious. You may love your Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ Donuts, but we LOVE our mom and pop donuts shops!
Donuts shout childhood for me. Saturday mornings meant dad would let mom sleep in and take his three little girls out for donuts. I’ve tried donuts all over the country and still believe my childhood donut shop beats them all. Lucky for you, I included it in this list!
Do you enjoy your donuts warm? Then you MUST get your donuts holes here. It says a lot when these little balls of love are still glowing when you bring them home.
Ever had an apple cider donut? If not, then you're definitely missing out. Rainbow Orchards is in Camino off of HWY 50 in an area called "Apple Hill." I'll meet you there.
Donut House is known for their ahhhmazing creme filled donuts. A fixture in Redding, we know they're anxiously awaiting the new store to open, open, open!
Numero uno, in my book. They're incredibly huge, more dense than your average donut and the glaze is thicker and more amazing than any other donut shop, period. The end.
Maple Bacon Donut, anyone? Known for their creativity, this donut shop doesn't disappoint. Who would think salt and sweet on a cloud of yum would work? They're gifted here.
Located incredibly close to schools and a freeway entrance, there's no reason moms and kids close by can't come and enjoy this amazing place. (My kids' favorite donut shop.) If you love supporting a mom & pop shop, here you go!
What is this beauty? It's a glazed tortilla with cherry filling. Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
Who doesn’t love an amazing donut? Eating these treats is like eating childhood memories. Where is your favorite donut shop? Share your favorite donut with all of us!
