| - I am dreaming of Ronald's Donuts when I got home after last Las Vegas trip. I am willing to drive 4.5 hours to just buy donuts. It is that good. The donuts here are soft and pillowy. When we were there, a lady from Alabama bought 2 dozens to take home. She said there is no good donut in Alabama. She said that she has not searched the entire state yet but she believes there is no good donut as good as Ronald's.
I believe her. I did a donut test. We bought a dozen. The first time we ate them on the premise/shop, they were so so soft and pillowy. They were not too sweet. I ate 2 just within 5 minutes, basically, inhaled them. We took them in the pink box and drove to the desert. We stored them on top of a mini fridge in the pink box in a desert motel. The next day, we each ate 2 more with coffee for breakfast. Usually, donuts are not good the next day. Not with Ronald's, they are still great the next day. They were not greasy, the pink box was not soaked with oil. In fact, there were hardly any oil spots on the box. I think my husband consumed 2 or 3 more in the afternoon when I was not looking. The 3rd day, the donuts became harder and not as good. They were dried out from by the desert air. We still ate it but we both agreed that 2 days are the maximum. Although, if I had an air tight container, they may still be good. I will have to do that test next time.
My favorite is the custard filled with chocolate frosting. Another one I like is the plain glazed donut. My husband likes the bear claws. The jelly filled was also good. Most of them are delicious though, hard to pick.
As you know, this place takes CASH only, no problem. The owners are so nice and humble. I will be a repeat customer. I've been thinking hardly to drive 4.5 hours to get my fix of Ronald's. Sigh!
