Find yourself in Massachusetts with a craving for donuts? Be sure to pop into Donut Dip.
Many, many years ago, I remember Rachael Ray saying on one of her shows, “If you want a recommendation on where to eat, ask a local.”
It’s something that stuck with me, and has served us well ever since. It led us to Jack’s BBQ when we were in Nashville last year, and last week, it took us to the Donut Dip in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
We were staying at a hotel nearby and we were looking for something quick and delicious for breakfast. As we were checking out of our hotel room, I asked the front desk clerk. She had just finished giving specific directions to the guest in front of me so he could find the “most delicious granola crusted French Toast,” so I knew she was just who to ask.
“Donut Dip. You will love it,” she said when I told her what we were looking for.
The place was hopping when we got there (just a short walk from our hotel), but despite the small size and amount of customers there, there was barely any wait for service.
But first … the smell. You could seriously smell it before we even walked in the doors.
In fact, it smelled so good that the kids walked in and said “I want to order whatever smells so good.”
Quite honestly, I don’t think it was one thing specifically, but more so everything together, but I’m betting the fresh made cider donuts were definitely leading the scent brigade. These same apple cider donuts are supplied to a local apple orchard as well.
So many donuts to choose from, thank goodness we don’t live closer.
