El Camino Donuts

Clint welcomed us with open arms as first time visitors. The smell alone was enough to make us salivate for donuts. We happen to come in on a Saturday just before 1ish and lucked out getting the last two donuts (amazing maple bars) of the day. I can't wait to go back! If you are looking for something other than ice cream at Bear Lake, this is worth the drive. You won't be disappointed.

I came to this donut shop this morning. What a cute shop, with art, decor and donuts. There are some seating options, but no tables. I got there and 7:30 am. My goal was to taste a few donuts and a cinnamon roll. The staff must have been having an off day, they were not pleasant to interact with and got admitted when I asked what the price was for a dozen donuts (donuts are individually priced $1.50-4.95/each… not sold by the dozen). The selection was limited at 7:30. No cinnamon rolls until at least 9 I was informed. No glazed were available, only basic cake donuts, a maple bar, old fashioned and hand pies. I tried everything that was available. Summary: Old fashioned: was delicious, and much larger than most old fashioned you find. One of the best old fashioned I have had. Maple bar: maple glaze with bacon was delicious, the raised donut had separated from the outside skin and the cavity was dripping with oil. Cake donuts: the presentation was great, nice color glaze with sprinkles, the outside was crispy and inside was soft. They were very greasy, with the bottoms being oil soaked. Hand pies: the lemon hand pie was ok. Outside was thick, but the lemon filling was sweet with minimal lemon flavoring.

The BEST maple bars we have ever had! The owner said the giant cinnamon rolls were life changing...and he was right. So good! Lots of delicious kinds of pastries in a neat old-timey building. Great customer service. You might catch a glimpse of the business' namesake, a classic El Camino parked out back. The only time we've ever been disappointed is when the shop was closed due to selling out of donuts!

By far the the best donuts! We dropped by at 1:00am to see him starting the making of deliciousness!! He opens at 6am. The donuts come out in stages and last with cinnamon rolls around 9:30am or 10am. It’s fun watching him making each rack of donuts with perfection! If your looking for a grocery store donut mass produced this isn’t your place. If you’re in for the whole experience of relaxing on some couches and inhaling amazingness this is the place ! Thanks for bringing your donut shop to Paris!

One of our new favorite places at the lake. We love the giant cinnamon rolls, the old-fashioned’s, and the lemon hand pies! Clint made me a great mocha today. Thank you!
