There is no better donut in the world than the donuts at Carol Lee Donuts in Blacksburg, VA. The home of the Va Tech Hokies. The have been making fresh donuts daily for at least forty years if not more.

Never tasted a better donut then Krumpe’s in Hagerstown MD
Lucky you.
My fave,called Cottage Donuts,lost it’s locations to DD about 30 years ago.

No doubt it will be a hit with the French police.
If I had a job I would patronize DD.
I’ve been wanting to try one of these since that bakery started making them.
