This place continues to be my life long favorite donut shop. Was recently in Grand Blanc for a visit with friends and was lucky enough to enough to be able to grab half a dozen donuts. I wish I could have gotten more but my doctor doesn't like me eating any. Moderation, am I right? Walked in and was greeted by a very friendly and polite staff. We explained we were all former Regular Customers, but no longer live in the area. They even knew the friends from both Florida and from Massachusetts wouldn't typically find the nutty donut, while we grew up with them in our arsenal. They had a great selection and all were fresh that day, some were actually just recently put in the case fresh. I chose a lemon, Bismarck, a cinnamon roll with maple frosting and nuts on top, two of the glazed donuts, one mixed fruit fritter, and a nutty donut. About 1/4 way home, I inhaled the Bismarck and my only regret is not getting a dozen donuts. That donut was still warm and was better than anything bought from a national chain, and you know who those are. The store is clean and kind of nostalgic. They had a display of vintage looking coffee cups but we were not sure if they were for sale or used for art.

I don't make it to the Flint area often, but when I was here a few days ago I noticed a Dawn Donuts sign and dropped a pin on my map. I haven't been to Dawn since I was a child and have wonderful memories of their delicious doughnuts and time spent with my family there. So, today I'm back in town to look at a car and where did I go first? Dawn. :) The maple frosted cinnamon roll was a fluffy cloud of cinnamony deliciousness. The apple fritter was one of the best I've ever had--fluffy, puffy goodness with none of the grease you find at other bakeries. It's a good thing I don't live near here because I'd frequent this business and try every doughnut they make to narrow it down to my favorites and then come and order those regularly. The staff was warm and friendly and there was a steady stream of customers for the half hour we sat in the dining area enjoying our treats. They wouldn't have this many customers if they weren't running a great business. Head on over to Dawn Donuts, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your doughnuts!

We picked up a couple dozen donuts for guests a couple weeks ago and they were a hit! They have plenty to choose from including your classic plain donuts, fruit or cream filled, fritters, and more. Worth giving Dawn Donuts a try if you are ever in the Grand Blanc area.
