Shane's Donuts - Vernal

I finally had the chance to stop and buy some donuts from this place yesterday. The lady said she gets there at 2 am to start the dough. These donuts should be illegal, they are thst fluffy airy and good. I'm stuck in a town where the best donut you can get is a city market. If you get the chance, go. I got two raised ice, and a huge cinnamon roll. You won't regret it.

Fresh as always! Endless possibilities make it such a fun experience! My favorite is the filled donut holes which are available upon advance order but so worth it!

Good donuts. Great flavors. Perfect bake. No coffee when I visited. That could be a dealbreaker for some folks.

I really hate to give a bad review to a small business, but Shane 's Donuts was a disaster. It 's not the employees (who were super welcoming and friendly), it 's the product. Nobody wants depressing donuts, but that 's what I got here.Up early and headed to nearby Dinosaur National Park, we thought why not treat ourselves to a box of donuts. I like to support small local businesses, and Shane 's fit the bill. Tucked away in a plain Jane strip mall with no fancy sign or surroundings, I figured their donuts would speak for themselves. Well, the sure did and not in a good way.We couldn 't make up our minds and opted for a 6 pack so we could take a bite of each and have a variety. The donuts on display looked really tasty, and the store already had a few old timers having their daily breakfast sweet. You could tell they were regulars and locals, this isn 't a touristy place. We picked three different flavors of glazed donuts, then three different filled donuts.The donuts were good and tasted fresh and soft, but the oil was old and needed to be changed. That 's always strike one when you bite into a donut. The glazes were good but overly sweet, and the yeasty dough was light and fluffy. What a shame the old oil ruined the flavor. I 'm docking them two stars for this.What brings Shane 's Donuts down to the dreaded one star rating is that ALL THREE OF THE FILLED DONUTS were completely empty of filling! No cream or jelly in ANY of them. I was doubly disappointed because we paid extra for the specialty filled donuts, but none of them had filling inside. I guess somebody messed up, but the staff needs to pay more attention to quality control. I paid extra for AIR! See photos of my sad, empty donuts.Since we had a full day planned at the national park, I couldn 't turn around and complain or get the items replaced. By the time we got back to town, they had closed for the day, and we left early the next morning.I would avoid Shane 's Donuts, or at least take a bite of the filled ones before you leave the parking lot. I am super disappointed, and I won 't be returning to Shane 's when I visit Vernal again.

The workers were very friendly and helpful in recommending their favorites. The French toast donut was super tasty! My only complaint is how picked over they were on a Saturday morning. Most of the good ones were gone by 10 AM. I know they open early...but lets be real, the weekends are for sleeping in But overall a positive experience.
