I love a good donut, and love trying different things. The Donut Hut is a staple in Des Moines for good donuts. But they even excel further in their apple fritters!
People come through this location in groups, so if there's a crowd, it'll be cleared in a few minutes. The staff is quick to get the line through and help all who are waiting for their fix. They'll also fill your donuts.
On slower days, have a chat with the owner. He's got some great stories and insight as well as being an all-around interesting guy.
When it comes to a weekend special breakfast treat, we love heading over to Donut Hut. -

I grew up going to my hometown bakery every Saturday for donuts!
There is nothing like starting your day with some glaze, powdered sugar, fritter, chocolate covered cake action!
Donut Hut is one of those landmark spots in Des Moines.. If you want 1, or a dozen they will melt in your mouth and make you as smiley as the mural on the outside of the building!
25 people can fit snuggly in the building at a time and the line moves fast so no worries if it's out the door!
The staff is so sweet and helpful and are truly here to make you feel at home, they know you by name and they are always glad you came! -

What an awesome donut shop. A really friendly family owned business with a tremendous selection of donuts. They have all my favorite fruit filled donuts like the Cherry Bavarian and Lemon Bavarian donuts. These fruit filled donuts have the perfect filling to donut ratio. I'm excited they have added breakfast croissants too since my daughter does not like donuts that much.
You have to try their apple fritter. A perfect blend of apples and spices. It will make your mouth absolutely happy all morning. -

Finally made it to try Donut Hut! And...I'll never get another stale gas station donut if I can help it again. Grabbed a dozen as a gift to some neighbors, but saved 2 for myself. This is a mom & pop type shop-- not a crazy overpriced place with 5lb pound donuts. They had all the classics, filled, long johns, old-fashioned, etc. Basically everything but the French crueler. I had the raspberry filled and maple old fashioned. Both I though were great, not dry at all. Loved the maple frosting. Just wished the raspberry was a jam as opposed to a jelly but that's personal. Probably a good 10 ppl in the store at 10:30 on a Thursday...lady at the front was very helpful and friendly. Overall, great place, friendly people, and I'm excited to go back and get some for my own fam

I grew up in Des Moines and I remember driving across town to get my favorite Dutch crunch donuts here. When I moved I was super sad I couldn't find a donut even similar. I dreamed about them and when I came back to visit family; it like divine fate guided me back here (okay I'd kinda forgotten where it was ). It has not changed except a cost of paint on the outside! The guy working here is still the sweetest.
Beyond happy now with my Dutch crunch although coconut is a close second
