| Spudnuts' blueberry cake donut - my favorite! |
If you’ve never been to Spudnuts, I suggest you plan a short
trip to Charlottesville to pay this quaint little shop a visit. And bring
cash.
Just beyond the Charlottesville Downtown Mall on Avon St.
sits this itty-bitty standalone shop boasting a faded Pepsi sign and sells the
most unique donuts. The hexagonal potato donuts need but the simplest
adornments: chocolate glaze, shredded coconut, sugar, or maple. Sometimes, if
you come early enough, you can snag an apple fritter made from the donut
batter. And definitely don’t miss the blueberry cake donuts – those are the
donuts that really shine.
Spudnuts
used to be open six days a week during my days as an undergrad, but those have
been reduced to four: Tuesday thru Friday, 6 a.m. – 2 p.m. or until they run
out of donuts. I don’t know if those reduced business days are due to slow
business, but I encourage you to support this small business because if this
place shutters up, the next closest Spudnuts location is in Ohio!
