Okay, this one is a bit out of the Greater Des Moines area but I have heard so many great things about Bricktown Bakery! Not only do they offer delicious donuts, but other great baked goods as well. Jump in the car and give it a try.
Where are my donut lovers at!? Our family definitely loves a good, over-the-top donut. I can tell you I do not remember donuts being so extreme when I was little. Whether it be long johns, donut holes, cinnamon rolls, an apple fritter, or cake donuts, I am here for the donut craze. We have gathered all of the best donuts in Greater Des Moines (I am not talking Krispy Kreme) you need to check out. How many Des Moines, Iowa donut places have you crossed off? Bookmark this page and see if you can cross them all off. Your taste buds will thank you.

Our "Pictures of the Week" take us to Nevada, where life's simple pleasures mix in perfect harmony with great taste. In October, Paula Feltner and her husband Mike opened Bricktown Bakery to share her love of donuts. Since opening, they have garnered a dedicated customer base in Nevada and other central Iowa communities.
"When you say donuts, people smile," Paula says while looking at the large selection of donuts on the wooden display counter. "They make people happy and they bring back memories of sharing with others."
Real runs can wear you out, and Runners United Nevada (RUN) has some real 5K runs in its series this year.
But one fun run – the Donut Dash – doesn’t keep you on the course too long or focus on your time. The Donut Dash focuses on being silly for the reward of donuts.
The craziest costumed runner (or walker!) on a one-mile course on the morning of April 24 will win “a dozen Bricktown Bakery donuts every month for one whole year!” That’s a lot of donuts!

In May, RUN partnered with Bricktown Bakery to host the 2nd Annual Bricktown Donut Dash. The event’s proceeds were donated to Nevada Food at First, bringing in a total of $2,013.52.

Nevada's Bricktown Bakery sold 2,700 donuts the first Saturday it was open. Co-owner Paula Feltner has been thrilled with the outpouring of support her business has seen in the month since.
“We’re basically a 24-hour operation at this point," she said. "We’re making doughnuts all afternoon, they’re fried all night, and things are baked all afternoon. It’s a never-ending cycle until Saturday night when we rest, then Monday afternoon when it all starts up again."
