rev. 30 Sep 2018, two shops added 20 Je 19
Note: Our favorites are the first three categories below (Raised, Fritters, and Maple bars/donuts) and were tested at all bakeries we found in Utah and Salt Lake Counties, as well as two shops in Layton.
We were unable to test some fritters and maple bars because they were sold out. We did test raised donuts at all the shops however.
All the categories below those three (cinnemon buns, cake and buttermilk donuts, fruit filled, coated donuts, and fried crousants) were only tested at some of the shops, as they are not our favorites.
