I have a weakness for doughnuts (or donuts as they are often spelt in the US) and it's pretty easy to get your hands on a fresh and warm dozen around these parts especially from the big known chains. After a quick trip into Detroit at the weekend we decided to head home via a stop at Dutch Girl Donuts - a local Detroit independent family run doughnut store along Woodward just south of 7 mile. In fact Dutch Girl Donuts was just this last month voted number 5 by MLive's search for the best donuts in Michigan (and the closest to us driving wise).
Established in 1947, Dutch Girl Donuts is now celebrating it's 67th year of doughnut making and are best known for their glazed donuts, all hand made and hand dipped and remains a firm fixture in the area. Open 24 hours through the working week, they offer up a variety of tasty flavours and icings. We left with an assorted box we put together of plain, maple syrup (a firm favorite), chocolate to coconut flake frosting (mmm) but there were so many to choose. While Saturday afternoon isn't prime doughnut buying time (they close earlier on a Saturday and closed on Sundays) there was still a steady stream customers and everything we tasted was lovely and fresh.
Oh and their packaging, totally rocks, I think we'll be heading back there many a time to fill those doghnut cravings.
Where are your favorite places to head for sweet treats?!
