The World’s Best Donuts Are Made Daily Inside This Humble Little Wyoming Bakery

Everyone in Wyoming has their opinions when it comes to bakeries and cafes. We've got our hometown favorites, and the spots we go to when we're on vacation, or when we want a truly special treat. If you're ever out looking for delicious donuts, one spot in Rock Springs really fits the bill.

The story of Cowboy Donuts starts way before the shop opened its doors in 2010.

Co-founder Jason Hammond grew up going to a local donut shop with his parents, Don and Beverly. The family would go out for the treat once a week on Saturday mornings, and Don Hammond would talk about how one day, he'd open a fresh bakery of his own and turn out perfect treats for everyone in town. In 2010, Jason made his father's dream come true when he opened the first Cowboy Donuts location.

This bright and cheery donut shop has found a way to mesh a modern bakery with old-school charm.

You'll instantly feel welcomed when you walk inside, so place your order, grab a cup of coffee, and take a seat.

The most difficult part is deciding what you're going to order!

Every donut here is made fresh daily, and you'll hear the donut machine whirring to life if you stay for a bit.

Cowboy Donuts' bakers are experts in creative, specialty donuts, topped with everything from coconut to peanuts, cereal, and even candy.

Your sweet tooth will be delighted with the selection in front of you!

Of course, they make all the classics too.

If you're a fan of chocolate frosted, you'll fall in love with their melts-in-your-mouth version.

You can't go wrong with a glazed donut!

This vanilla cake treat is a staple of any donut shop's rotation, and Cowboy has perfected their recipe.

There's always something new being baked, too!

During the holidays, you'll want to try their limited edition donuts, like these creepy Halloween sweet treats.

If you prefer a savory start to your day, try their famous Kolaches.

These pastries are made with slightly sweet butter bread and stuffed with meats and cheeses. You can order a variety in small and large sizes, and they're out of this world good.

So go ahead and make the trip next Saturday morning and relive your childhood donut shop dreams at this charming Wyoming bakery.
