The Tiny Shop In Utah That Serves The Best Donuts Ever

Last year, Business Insider named the best donut shop in every state of the nation, and it chose Banbury Cross as the best shop in Utah. A few months later, Thrillist concurred. We can’t help but agree – Banbury Cross does make some absolutely divine donuts.

Banbury cross is located at 705 S. 700 E. in Salt Lake City. There's a small parking lot, or, if you're in a hurry, you can go right through the drive-through.

When you walk in the door, you're immediately drawn to the case full of donuts...every kind imaginable.

However, Banbury Cross sells way too many donuts to keep them all in the case. Backup racks line the walls behind the case.

By 3:00 p.m. the donuts are almost gone.

If you want some donut deliciousness, get to Banbury Cross early and claim your dozen (or two dozen) donuts. The shop opens at 5:00 a.m.

If you have some time to stay and relax, have a seat and enjoy your coffee and donuts in the cozy lobby.

The cinnamon bear claw is a favorite.

You can't go wrong with an assortment of raised donuts (and one chocolate coconut cake donut).

The maple bars are bigger than your hand.

The blueberry cake donut goes fast.

If you're feeling kinda jazzy, opt for a donut (or two) with sprinkles.

Banbury Cross doesn't skimp on the sprinkles - there really IS a donut underneath there. Somewhere.

The holiday donuts are adorable!

These are past years' designs, so stop in to check out what's new for 2016.

You can even cheer for your favorite college football team with a Banbury Cross donut (and of course that team is the U of U...you ARE in Salt Lake City, after all). No word on whether Banbury offers BYU-themed donuts.

Go Utes!

Visit Banbury Cross Donuts Monday through Saturday from 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
