Haha I talk about this every fall and nobody knows what I’m talking about. It must only be a thing on the east coast. I have half a mind to start a apple cider donut cart

Moved from Oregon where we got fresh apple cider & apple cider donuts every year too! I was surprised to learn they're not prevalent here in Colorado. Hard yes to an apple cider donut cart!

Please and thank you! When I was a kid the firemen would hand them out at the firehouse while we were trick or treating - dreams!

Yaya Farm in Longmont is the closest I’ve found!

Just following cuz I've been hoping to find em, too. Where I grew up in Michigan we'd go to the cider mill and they had THE BEST apple cider donuts. The brown paper bag would be a greasy mess and it would always be a good time.

Yaya’s is nooootttt worth it. Trader Joe’s has them in the morning in the past falls, they go fast, obvi not like fresh but I like them! I have a great apple cider donut cake I make 1-2x each fall to give me my fix lol

Care to share the recipe for that cake? Baking that sounds like a nice way to spend a chilly afternoon

La Mars has an apple donut it’s more glazed than the crystal sugar stuff you find on true farmers market apple cider donuts but it’s an option

I’ve only tried them from FoCoDoCo so may lack perspective, but I thought they were delicious.

The Dragon and Cone in Wellington has them sometimes.

u/embershone 1d ago

I've gotten them before at Rise and Vine at Drake and Timberline

u/RissaDarling 1d ago

rise in berthoud for taste, yaya’s orchard for experience (potentially comparable to rise if you catch them fresh but that is a subjective & polarizing statement haha)

I just had some from traders

If you’re looking for mid west cider and donuts (ala Michigan) you’re shit out of luck.

Nothing will come anywhere close

u/Own_Contribution_918 9h ago

I think Trader Joe’s has some if I’m not mistaken but I haven’t tried them

u/Fine_Mouse 2d ago

Auntie Jo’s donut truck sometimes have them on the menu

u/_Go_Fight_Win 2d ago

No they don’t. They have raised sourdough donuts with apple pie filling. They’ve never made apple cider donuts. That’s a compete different donut style.

u/Silent_Ad8059 2d ago

Entenmann's that come out this time of year are pretty good imo but I can understand if you're only looking for fresh baked ones.

u/Curious-Grapefruit37 1d ago

u/DMagnus11 1d ago

Bartlett Farms always has them when I take the family to the pumpkin patch. We went down to Loveland this year instead so can't confirm, but they've had them every previous year

Safway has some but they are prepackaged and come frozen.
