“The real story is the history. I'm told the doughnut entity has been around since 1896 when it was Clare City Bakery. In 2009, nine Clare police officers purchased the struggling business and today they boast over a half million visitors, annually. It's clearly a legend in the northern Michigan doughnut community and the town loves this place. I found it to be a bit pricey and the doughnuts are decent but not great. They are generous with filling in the long John's and jelly filled. I will brag about their Pączkis every Fat Tuesday. A welcome alternative to being far from Hamtramck. It's more than just donuts. A full menu as well as cop-oriented souvenirs make it a fun place to browse. A small simple bakery with a few tables, most folk get their goodies to go. It's a good idea to grab a coffee and soak up the ambiance as often as you can. 04/24“
