It's funny that I came here to say these are the best donuts in the world and find the only other review makes the same claim. But it's true, as far as I can tell. I grew up in Wellington eating Daylight Donuts all throughout my time there. Any time I tried donuts somewhere else, I was disappointed.
Then I moved to Lawrence then to San Francisco then traveled around the world, including New York. I continued to try donuts everywhere I went. Krispy Kreme, Bob's Donut & Pastry Shop, Doughnut Plant. I tried all the highest rated donut shops everywhere I went. Any time I visited a new city, I made a point of finding their highest rated donut shop. And not once did any donut I ate remotely compare to the memories I had of the ones I ate right in my home town of Wellington, Kansas at Daylight Donuts as a kid.
Last week, I came back to Daylight Donuts again for the first time in 20 years. I wanted to put it to the test: was this just nostalgia or were these donuts actually as good as I always thought they were? I got a pac-man, a chocolate long john, a glazed, and a half pint of their signature chocolate milk. And, I am pleased to report, they were every bit as amazing as I remembered. read more
