Every time I eat these I am in heaven! I usually get the plain glazed raised but the chocolate knot is deadly:)

Yes, they are the World's best! We arrived in Grand Marais after the time that they store was supposed to be close. We decided to check and they were still open! Granted they had a limited number of donuts left. At only .92 cents a piece, I thought they were a very good value for such a delicious treat!

World's Best is a bit overrated. Nothing special that we could determine, only the price was ridiculously high. But if you have a sweet tooth, I guess, you will pay the price.

I don't know about worlds best but they are pretty good. Hard to screw up donuts. Charming, friendly place. Always a line in the morning. I subtract a star because of the coffee. I would have subtracted three stars if rating only the coffee but perhaps it was a bad batch.

World's best? I don't know, can't say I've sampled enough donuts to make that judgment! But they were very good! I would suggest going early in the day as it seems they sell out or have less of a variety later in the day.

Defiently worth a visit if you are in Grand Marais! Donuts are amazing! Just a little note...the restaurant itself is pretty small and gets very busy! Be there early or you'll be waiting outside.

Try the long John with bavarian cream and vanilla frosting or the bismark with banana cream. To die for! And such a great value!

I have eaten these donuts since the place opened, back when they only offered a couple kinds. Those kinds-plain, sugared and sugar-cinnamon are still my favorites. Had some last summer when we passed through and I must say, nothing has changed except the location and variety of donuts. If you are driving past Grand Marais, stop for these. You need... More

Oh my gosh these donuts are the best things you will ever taste! The workers are friendly, the atmosphere is cozy, the value is great, and the food is AMAZING! Please go here or else your visit to Grand Marais will be a waste; it's that good! I especially like the powdered donuts and the original SKIZZLE, and my family... More
