The very legacy of the Bunkers Dunkers Bakery, Mr. Evan "Bu" Bunkers, brought a giant box of donuts…read moreto the aircraft we were flying back to Chicago last week. These gems proved to be fresh, soft, and delicious, and they melted in my mouth. I tried two: the long donut covered in chocolate and peanuts, as well as the round powdered cream-filled donut. I could have eaten about a million more. They were so good, that I just may have to make a special trip to Iowa, just to eat more of these delights. After eating my first Bunkers Dunkers donut, I had to pose the question to my friend Evan: "Is this heaven?" And he promptly responded, "No, it's Iowa."

I also got to try the lemon ones, Salted carmel is still my favorite and they didn't disappoint. thanks for setting some back for me. my waistline doesn't thank you, but I do.

We had to try the goodies.. so I got the maple frosted cake donut. I wasn't expecting much... I'm not a huge fan of cake donuts because every one I've had has left me dry-mouthed and searching for water... but not here! Brick Street's donuts were not dry at all! Moist and perfectly sweet! The coffee (we just have it black) was smooth and tasty. My husband enjoyed his gooey sticky-bun :)

So I guess no more Brick Street Bakery? Great location. No donut cases displaying donuts. We had to ask about the donuts and it was 8am. They had the "fancy" donuts, you know the ones that people get creative with cereals and stuff. No plain every day donuts. I got the apple fritter. It had cherries in it, I didn't know that. The 2 ladies that were there were super sweet. There is some seating inside and outside. And you can see the old architecture of the building inside and out which makes it fun. They are only open 6am-2pm. Will need to go back and try their pizza as I was not impressed with the donut.

My son was thrilled with his sprinkle donut, especially with the fun, non-standard colors like blue and green. My husband's apple fritter had a strong cinnamon flavor with bits of apple; it was a bit crunchier on the edges than we expected, but still delicious. We got an old fashioned for our one-year-old, and it was the perfect choice - not too sweet, nor sticky. The big surprise was the breakfast sausage sandwiches my husband and son ordered. The high-quality egg, sausage, and cheese on a fresh croissant were fantastic. I took a bite and was truly impressed, especially for the price... under $5 is very reasonable for the size. I was waffling over the Kona iced coffee, so a worker kindly gave me a sample. It was stronger, sweeter, and creamier than I expected, so I happily purchased a cup. The shop itself is small and can get a bit crowded, so it's probably not the best spot if you're planning to sit and eat inside. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Ankeny though. I can already imagine grabbing donuts and coffee to enjoy at the park with the kids once the weather warms up!

We visited on a Friday afternoon around 2 pm and I was glad some of the baked goods were still available. I quickly picked up a few items: Dutch letters, almond horns, almond tarts, and blueberry filled Dutch windmills. The first three items have a strong but not overpowering almond flavor. I especially liked the almond horns which had a crunch but chewy and buttery texture. I also really liked the windmills and wished I had ordered the raspberry ones as well. It was buttery and flakey with just the right about of blueberry cream cheese filling.

It was an all new website and had plenty of space to write your requests; and those requests were delivered!! We received our long John's all fresh, soft, slightly chewy and filled with custard from one end to the other!! In the past, sometimes their product had an icky taste from old oil? But that was NOT present now - the apple fritters were perfectly crispy, as were the Bear Claws & tasted fresh! We couldn't be happier with these delicious breakfast delectables! Thank you, Donut Hut! We are looking forward to many more yummy treats!

Hurts Donuts West Des Moines Remember it's not about food…read moreonly, It's also about expectations, everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. It's in a strip mall area so parking was plentiful but I could tell that it would fill up fast as it seemed to be one busy place. This is such a great business open 24/7 and has so many choices from really delicious regular style donuts donuts to Dairy free to most importantly gluten free. It's really hard to find things for kids who have a gluten intolerance or may have lots of allergies and this shop really hits a home run in offering choices. It's just so nice to get some choices for kids that have those food intolerances, so they can feel more part of a group and not be excluded. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. There are lots of classic and exotic flavors. I enjoyed the maple bacon bar , which was a yeast donut , dipped in maple glazed , topped with loads of bacon. My only suggestion, as in all good bakeries, is to come early. I am so happy to support this locally owned franchise business. They really go out of their way to give choices to all people who need choices meaning Dairy Free and gluten free as well as wonderful regular style donuts with lots of exotic icings and flavors. You could spend a good year going through all their choices , including cinnamon rolls as big as your head. It's a fun place with great ambiance for dad's families, and anyone who likes donuts.

This silly kid's joke from the 80s was no doubt the germ of an idea that built this franchise. It hints at nostalgia - a different era where kids didn't have phones and tablets in their faces around the clock and used their brains to think up stupid jokes that spread like word of mouth memes. And although the decor was cute and kitschy, it didn't really give 80s dad jokes vibes like I thought it would. There were some old movie posters but the overall theme was unclear. The donut selection is incredible though and the bakery case glorious to look at, making it hard to choose. I chose a classic pink sprinkle donut and it was great. A bit on the dry side but it was later in the afternoon so maybe not the freshest, or maybe their donuts are a bit dry as a rule. Service was fast and efficient and there's plenty of parking. Check it out for a break from the ordinary gas station donuts popular in the area.
