Granny's Donuts in
Bozeman has the best donuts. Ever. You may think you've eaten the most delicious fried piece of wonder, but unless you have been here, you haven't. Sorry. Robert, the owner and I am pretty sure the only employee here, makes this place what it is. He makes his fruit donuts with fresh fruit and pie filling, his orange cream donuts are better than you can ever imagine and he uses chocolate
ganache as the frosting on his chocolate donuts. It's one place in
Bozeman I am REALLY going to miss. We asked Robert if he has ever shipped his donuts anywhere, he told us he did once, to a guy getting heart surgery. Ironic, but funny. I think the first time I ever went to Granny's Robert was topping a maple bar with bacon (maple bacon bar...) and he paused, looked up, and asked us if he wanted the triple-bypass donut. Although tempting, the name made me reconsider. He gets special orders for these donuts; they are that good. Robert and Patrick have had some fun discussions about politics and science, I just revel in the fact that he loves making people happy by making donuts everyday. When I brought my mom to Granny's for the first time (she's hooked now), he gave her an old-fashioned donut and offered to make her a pot of tea (it was a really cute single serving pot that he made just for her). We're in love. With Granny's. And with Robert.

Oh, I'm sort of ashamed to say after that gushing post...I've never been.
ReplyDeleteOh...uber fail. You must break the healthy habit and visit. At least once. MISS YOU LESLIE!
ReplyDeleteI love that place. One year during band camp, Matt, Ben, Alex White and I would stop there almost everyday for our breakfast.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite memories of then was me trying to decide I what kind of doughnut I wanted, the only thing I knew was that I didn't want a cake doughnut, because I don't like them. He told me I would like his, and gave me one free with my other doughnut. He was right, I like his.
