🍩 Foodie Road Trip Stop: Donald’s Donuts
Zanesville, Ohio

Are you one of those people who will drive miles to find the best tasting donut? If so, you owe yourself a road trip to Zanesville, Ohio, because this donut stop moved into my list of the top 5 best tasting donut shops in Ohio. Not only did it make my list, but this past June, Donald’s Donuts earned the “ #1 Donut Shop spot in America in the USA TODAY 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards!”

What to order: The correct answer would be one of each, but if you have limited tummy space I would have to push you in the direction of their cream sticks. The dough is light and airy and there is just the right amount of filing and frosting. I am such a fan of maple frosting and their version did not disappoint. There donuts are very reasonably priced.

Do not just run in: Grab one of their diner stools and enjoy your fresh baked donut with a cup of their brewed coffee. While I savored my tasty treat, I met some wonderful locals who were excited to share their favorite donuts. I also learned why it is so important to get there early before the donuts run out. Along with the cream sticks, the fritters are also hot commodities.

Why stop: Because if you don’t you will never know why Donald’s Donuts is such a road trip destination.

Plan your stop: Add this local favorite to your next Zanesville – Ohio Foothills itinerary.
