Old school all the way.
Maple bacon donuts, lemon infused fritters, and candy coated crullers are good, don't get wrong, but sometimes you just need a classic glazed fried treat. Friendly Donut House has this times ten!
I came here on Saturday around eleven-in-the-morning, which was a mistake because most of the counter was cleaned out. Definitely get here in the early morning hours or later afternoon, that's when the counter is fully stocked and ready for snacking according to the donut guy.
I started loading up my pink donut box with the classics; Apple Fritters, Old Fashions, Glazed Chocolate Sprinkles, Coconut Covered Donuts, Cinnamon Crumbs, and Cherry frosted donuts. As I was ordering fresh batches of donuts were slowly coming out, including a tray filled with old-fashioned buttermilk donut bars. These all looked amazing and are not for the person looking for low calories treats.
The Highlights:
- The Apple Fritter was huge and had that great shiny glaze on top. It was super soft, doughy, and not sweet on the inside. This could be easily shared with two people. It could have used more apples on the inside, buts that my opinion.
- The Buttermilk Bars were fantastic. Both the maple covered and classic flavor were perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on this inside.
- Cinnamon Crumb Cake. These were coming out right as I was about to pay and I had to add them to my dozen. Warm, sweet and amazing. A definite must try when visiting the Friendly Donut House.
I also had to buy to two cartons of Anderson Dairy milk to keep the nostalgia train rolling. If you're from Vegas or have been here for a long period of time, you're very familiar with Anderson Dairy.
Cold milk and fresh donuts on a Saturday morning, what else could you possibly need?
