Hand-picked Utah County happenings, straight to your inbox. No fluff, no spam, easy to leave.
Start with a square glazed donut at Lehi Bakery on Main Street in Lehi, which opened in 1969. Bismarck Doughnuts in Orem is entirely gluten-free, Spudly in Lehi and Lindon sells a box of 90 to 100 donut holes, and Parlor in Provo makes croissant-style layered doughnuts. In Spanish Fork, The Donut Run bakes kolaches next to its donuts, and Salem Daylight Donuts has crullers.
The square glazed donut is the one the bakery calls famous, and the menu also has maple bars, buttermilk bars, apple fritters, a filled square with Bavarian cream, and a croissant-style donut called the Dossant. The bakery also lists a second Utah County shop at 433 E 1000 N in Spanish Fork.
Spudly cuts its mashed-potato dough by hand and kettle-fries it each morning from a family recipe more than 70 years old, with no day-olds. Everyday flavors include Maple, Boston Cream and Salted Caramel. For a team or a ward activity, the Spudy Box holds 90 to 100 glazed donut holes.
Malasadas are Portuguese fried dough, round and coated in sugar, and a staple in Hawaii. Onoh's serves them hot at its Pleasant Grove shop. The company opened its first food trailer in October 2021 and its first storefront just over a year later. You choose the sugar, the filling and the drizzle, and the filling of the month on its site is pumpkin spice.
Every doughnut and beignet here is gluten-free and made from scratch each day, so this is the stop when one person at the table can't eat wheat. The Maple Bacon Ring is the shop's named classic, and the daily glazes are posted on its Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
Parlor laminates its dough like a croissant, so the doughnut is crisp outside and flaky inside. The menu lists sweet layers such as French Toast, Maple Bacon and Turtle, savory ones such as Margherita and Buffalo Chicken, and keto, vegan and gluten-friendly versions. The Provo shop opened in February 2026, and the company also has a Pleasant Grove shop.
Provo Bakery makes raised, cake, filled and shaped donuts, and its site promotes letter and number donuts for celebrations, so you can spell a name or an age on a birthday table. The bakery says it has baked in Provo for more than 100 years. Its site suggests ordering online because favorites sell out.
The Donut Run bakes kolaches every morning next to its donuts: soft rolls filled with sausage and cheese, bacon, egg and potato, or ham ranchero. The shop says most Utah donut shops don't make them. It also decorates donuts by hand for holidays and birthdays.
The Salem shop sells classic glazed donuts, sprinkle donuts and crullers with colored frosting. Its site says the case runs until it sells out, so go in the morning. It is the Salem stop on this list.
Pick by who is eating. For a family with a gluten-free kid, Bismarck on University Parkway in Orem is the shop on this list where every doughnut is gluten-free. For a team, a ward activity or a classroom, Spudly's donut-hole box in Lehi or Lindon feeds a crowd, and Provo Bakery on 100 North will fry letters and numbers for a birthday table.
Pick by city next. In Lehi, Lehi Bakery and Spudly are both in town. In Pleasant Grove, Onoh's on Valley Grove Way serves malasadas. In Provo, Parlor on 400 West and Provo Bakery on 100 North give you a layered doughnut and a bakery counter in one trip.
South county has its own stops: Lehi Bakery's Spanish Fork shop on 1000 North, The Donut Run on Center Street, and Salem Daylight Donuts on SR 198. Several shops are closed on Sundays, so read the Sunday answer below before you drive.
