Daylight Donuts

St. George has been missing a really good place to get donuts (Fractured Prune was good but not your traditional type of donut) for many years. There are a few bakeries around town that offer donuts, but the main focus at those bakeries is cinnamon rolls, cookies and cupcakes. I was really excited when I saw Daylight Donuts open up on Bluff St. with their main focus being donuts. When I walked in there was nobody at the counter at first and then a lady came from the back and greeted me. She was friendly and answered my questions about what flavors the donuts were. The selection was good, they had plenty of flavors available and the glass case the donuts were in was clean. I wanted a half dozen and a mixed variety, so it was just under $ 8. Price varies depending on how many and what type of donuts you want. You can buy them single, as a combo or by the half and whole dozen.
Regular Donuts ($ 0.89 each) — Blueberry, Chocolate Bar and Lemon Glazed… The chocolate bar was average and while the blueberry had a good amount of blueberry flavor, the glaze was just far too sweet. The lemon donut was cake-​like and pairs nicely with coffee or tea, but the lemon flavor could have been more noticeable in the glaze.
Fancy Donuts ($ 1.09 each) — Blueberry Filled Bear Claw and Glazed Twist… If you try anything here, try the blueberry (it also comes in piña colada) filled bear claw. The bear claw is huge and although the glaze is sweet like it was on the other donuts, the amount of soft and pillow like donut of the bear claw somewhat evens it all out. The blueberry and custard filling was a nice touch and while I did enjoy this donut the best, it wasn’t anything I’d come back just to have. The glazed twist was so overly sweet that I only made it through 2 bites.
Rolls ($ 1.39 each) — Pine Cone… The lady who helped me said this was their version of a cinnamon roll and was very popular. I personally did not like the pine cone donut at all. The texture and flavor was more like a fritter gone wrong than any type of cinnamon roll. The pine cone was drenched in glaze that was just too sweet.
I was sad to see Fractured Prune on Bluff St. close and while the concept over at FP was different, it was still a better option for donuts than here at Daylight Donuts in my honest opinion. If you are the Winchell’s type of donut fan you might just like it here. Daylight Donuts started in 1954 and is a large chain now, so the logo is the same at different locations however the consistency of the donuts and people running each location will not be the same.

Yes. HEAVENS YES!!! For St George this place is shades of «Doug’s Donuts» which is a long lost classic. It’s been a long wait for a real donut shop again in St George. Tell your friends to get on over and taste the goodness!

St George FINALLY has an awesome donut joint! I’m so thrilled to have found one that’s on par with Winchell’s and Ken’s Donuts (Austin, TX)! Up until now, St George has been sadly lacking… No longer!
The cake donuts are fabulous. Lightly crispy on the outside; lovely and moist on the inside. Glazed. Powdered sugar. Cinnamon (almost as good at Ken’s hot-​out-​of-​oven!!). Chocolate covered. All highly addictive! All highly recommended!
Their cinnamon rolls are the prettiest, most unique looking cinnamon rolls I’ve ever seen. The dough is a soft-​yeasty dough, with a hint of cinnamon that’s not complete overpowering. Perfect combo of cinnamon and glaze.
I can’t say I’m overly fond of their old fashioned donuts, either the sour-​cream or chocolate covered (which is my absolute favorite at Winchell’s). They just don’t taste «right» to me… But that’s not going to stop me from giving them five stars!
Overall, their baked goodies were delightfully sweet (without being sickeningly sweet, like so many other places, like the Fractured Prune).

Totally awesome! Finally a donut shop in St. George worth writing home about. The glazed raised is GREAT!!! Sprinkled donuts were awesome too and the glaze tastes great! Definitely is «Something to Crow About»!!!
