Get Around: Get a Round, Sweet, Donut

While Albuquerque might be most known for its Mexican-American cuisine, don’t underestimate the sweets! There are a ton of amazing bakeries in the area and one classic, American item you can find virtually anywhere is the good old donut.

Last week, ABQ Newscastic put together an awesome list of the best places to get a donut and a great bonus is that they’re all local and independently owned. So why don’t you support these local shops and satisfy that sweet tooth?

Lovin Oven Bakery (Espanola)
At this small family bakery, Dino hand cuts the donuts himself, because he believes hands on and fresh are best. "If a customer is going to pay for something, I'm going to make it fresh," he says. The daily assortment is not big, but if a customer wants something special, a call to Dino will see it made the next day. Classic donuts include the popular cherry glazed and chocolate chocolate, which typically sell out before the noon closing time.

West End Donut & Deli (Gallup)
Fans of West End Donuts swear by their blueberry donuts and buttermilk bars. It's a little out of the way, as in, is it really out there? Should I turn around? Doubt not. Your donuts will be crumbs in the box in no time.

Bosa Donuts (Las Cruces)
Las Cruces fans love Bosa Donuts for their classic fare. Glazed, cream, jelly-filled, turnovers and donut holes are popular, but their apple fritters have fans clamoring for more.

Sarina's (Carlsbad)
The small, family business in Carlsbad brings in fans from across the Texas border. Sarina's offers classic bear claws, filled and cake donuts and cinnamon rolls the size of your face. Their apple fritters are a standout.

Mama Tuckers Donut & Cake Shop (Roswell)
The sign for this no-frills shop claims "Best Donuts in the Universe," making it hard to pass by. There's a nice assortment of donuts, but you better get there before the farmers and ranchers do, as they sell out fast.
