Update:
Jack Frost won People's Choice at Donut Fest Cleveland in 2017.
Also, they have a new building but the donuts are
still the same awesome made from scratch treats.
I wanted to share another one of my favorite places with you. This time, it's my favorite donut shop: Jack Frost Donuts. They won the Hot List once again this year for best donuts so you know I'm not alone in thinking they are the fabulous.
A little building in Cleveland on the Parma border houses this institution. Made fresh daily since 1937, this is where I go when I need to feed my donut craving.
When you walk in, you'll see cases of colorful donuts. There's not a list of flavors so be sure to ask what they have in stock. My favorites besides the classic raised glazed, are the pumpkin. Not your typical flavored donut - the hole in the middle is filled with a creamy pumpkin filling. Some of my other favorites are the classic glazed and the salted caramel - you can tell these don't come frozen from a warehouse. Maple bacon is a cult favorite and the Fat Elvis is always a hit.
They even have cassata donuts on Mothers day, Valentine's Day and Sweetest Day ~ Bavarian Custard, fresh Strawberries and White Cream all on a raised stick donut...topped with either chocolate icing or powdered sugar.
Strawberry Shortcake Donuts are another favorite. Be sure to order ahead.
For an extra special birthday treat, order a Birthday Donut. This giant donut always makes a party special.
You can pre-order donuts to make sure you get your favorite flavors because they will sell out. Put this number on your speed dial: 216-351-3638, you'll thank me later. The prices are great too.
Pro tip: bring cash, no credit accepted.
