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.
