Many of us are put off by grocery store donuts, and we emphasize—why buy that when Krispy Kreme or Stan’s Donuts is less than a 5-minute drive away?
However, local donut shops tend to be pricier. We understand that it’s worth paying a little extra for quality donuts. But what if we told you that some grocery store donuts not only rival but surpass popular donut chains? Ok, maybe not every chain. (We have to admit we love Dunkin’s Munchkins.)
According to Tasting Table, which ranked 12 different Midwest grocery store bakery donuts, Meijer’s white iced cinnamon donut took first place, far outpacing the competition.
Meijer is a regional grocery chain with locations across the Midwest. It started as a family-owned business and has expanded to hundreds of supercenter locations over its nearly century-long history.
Their white iced cinnamon donut features a swirled, coiled design reminiscent of an iced cinnamon bun, and each bite just keeps getting better.
This donut perfectly combines the best aspects of a store-bought honey bun and a freshly baked cinnamon roll. It has the beautiful icing of a donut, with soft, yeasty dough that becomes gooey and more cinnamon-flavored toward the center, just like a classic cinnamon roll.
So, the next time you think of heading to Krispy Kreme donuts, remember that Meijer’s cinnamon donuts are a hit.
