Reno-Tahoe

A new donut shop just opened up in Reno, and it deserves to be talked up, not just because they make donuts, but that their donuts are made with the best ingredients and oils, and some are over a foot long.  Something also to note is that you can get a fresh cup of Joe and a glazed for only $2.

This family run business got its start in Camarillo, Ca, where they have been making donuts for over 30 years at the sister store “Rolling Pin Donuts”.  DoughBoys is run by Bob, Marge and Jay (whom you may remember from his UNR baseball days) Kenny, and every once in a while you can find even younger generations behind the donut case.   DoughBoys gets its name from the Army enlisted soldiers and non-commissioned officers in World War 1.

One thing to note is the donuts and pastries at DoughBoys are not small, even the donut holes are larger than the fist of most children.  The Tigertail is over a foot long and the Bearclaws could really fit on a bear.  They even have specialty donuts like; the Wolf Pack Paw (a smaller claw dipped in frosting and either chocolate chips or sprinkles – just right for kids), the Chocolate Chip Roll (just like a cinnamon roll, but topped and filled with chocolate chips and chocolate frosting) and even 8 different filled croissants.  Also don’t forget their good coffee and colder options of juices, milk and sodas.

Make sure you stop by when the urge arises and try one or a dozen.  You won’t be sorry!
