I was going through the {10 million} pictures on my phone yesterday when I came across the photos I took last year with Mrs. HB while we were on our working vacation. Remember that? She had a three day conference in the Spokane/Coeur D’alene area and I tagged along and before we knew it we were at that tea shop?
Anywho… We happened to be driving through the town of Haden, Idaho on National Donut Day {which is June 1st this year} and decided to stop at The Donut House because the parking lot was full and a huge line was forming outside the door.
Now I don’t know about you, but I LOVE donuts, especially on National Donut Day when they are passing out a free one.
The offerings were pretty basic: Donuts made from scratch and a handful of beverages. The donuts weren’t as soft as and billowy as Krispy Kreme, or the hearty, stick to your ribs kind like you’d find at Dunkin’ Donuts, or even the predictable fluffy no thrills ones you find at the grocery store.
These donuts were somewhere in the middle of all of those. And you know what? I can’t remember ever having tasted a better donut. The donuts {all 4 that we ate} reminded us of our childhoods. Simple sugary goodness. Down to the last bite.
So, if you ever find yourself anywhere near Hayden, Idaho be sure and stop by The Donut Shop for a bite. You won’t regret it.

Mavis! My family moved to Hayden from the Gig Harbor area 2 years ago. We !I’ve on Gov’t Way, just 2 blocks up from the Donut House!
Those “stick” doughnuts are fruit filled. I forget they’re name.
We love this place, as they’re open past midnight..have lounging rooms, and board games to p!ay. Love it there! And will be going tomorrow..early…ha ha!
