We've got a local (Anniston, AL) place, Bonnie Rae's that makes awesome donuts. They're the densest baked goods I've even eaten; moist and soft, nothing but fat, sugar and a little flour. Prior to that, Pittsfield (Mass.) Rye Bakery back home was our go-to for Sunday morning donuts and coffee cake.

I like a good jelly donut best and these places are where I have gotten the ones that make my mouth water to think of them.

Chain donuts are okay, but Dunkin' or Lamarr's don't come close to perfection.
