Why did the donut go to the dentist? Because it needed a chocolate filling!

Sure, you can have a chocolate-glazed donut. But you could also have a Maple Bacon Bar, a donut covered in crushed Oreo cookies with a gummy worm attached, or a classic Bismark topped with your favorite cereal.

How do you know if a donut is feeling sad or tired? Its eyes glaze over.
Krispy Kreme

(303) 649-9933
Krispy Kreme only does two things: coffee and donuts. Their Original Glazed Donuts are practically perfect! When my kiddos were little, they loved watching the donuts being made through the window. They would set their eyes on one and try to follow it to the end, hoping it would be their donut! Get a free donut on National Donut Day — no purchase required — and watch for their deals around holidays and special occasions (like graduation) all year.
LaMar's Donuts & Coffee
9360 S. Colorado Blvd., Highlands Ranch

What happened to the donut who played golf? He got a hole-in-one!
Mr. Donuts
8854 Maximus Dr., Lone Tree
(720) 573-9944
Named the Best Donut Shop in Colorado by Travel & Leisure and a Top 20 Donut Shop on Yelp, Mr. Donuts makes almost 300 pounds of donuts every day! In addition to plenty of raised and cake donut varieties, you should definitely also try a savory kolache.
Small Town Mini Donuts
166 S. Main Street, Elizabeth
(720) 420-0838
Located in the lobby of the original Elizabeth Hotel, this cozy shop is worth a visit. Donuts aren't made until you order them, so they are as hot and fresh as can be! They have eight signature flavors, such as Campfire (think s'mores), McKenzie (Nutella with fresh banana), and Kennedy (apple pie filling and a dusting of cinnamon). You can also create your own Potluck donut with three toppings.
