Horseshoe Donuts

The first time we visited our friends in Colorado, they purchased us an assortment of a dozen donuts to share. As of now, I have yet to step inside their doors so I cannot comment on the service or ambiance of the Horseshoe Donuts Shop.I can comment on the donuts we shared though. All of them ranged in taste from good to very good!! My favorites were the Apple Fritter and the Boston Creme donut. Without a doubt, I'd be a regular at Horseshoe Donuts if I lived in Monument, Colorado.

Cutesy looking donuts but the actual store is dirty inside with a dog in the kitchen. The donuts themselves are crunchy and either overdone or stale. And it was $40 for a dozen! Bummer because I really wanted to like this place, but I'll never go back.

Came in right at opening and the cider donut I ordered was stale. It's fine if you're looking for novelty donuts for children, but their food tastes gross. This place is disgusting. Seriously unclean, which is shocking compared to the near-pristine exterior.Also, I'm guessing the owner has a bulldog which hangs out in the shop. That's fine, but can we keep animals out of the actual fucking kitchen? The entire establishment is a health code violation waiting to happen.

The interior really ruins this place... it felt almost run down, I didn't know for sure if it was actually open when I pulled up. The donut was alright, not the worst, not the best. A little stale, but I'll concede it was noon so it wasn't at its freshest. The donuts are also super large, so if you've got a big appetite this is the place for you. I may try again at an earlier hour for a fresher donut.

When we walked in with our service dog, we were greeted by another dog barking aggressively at us. He was wearing a service dog vest but was obviously not one and seemed like a danger to us and our dog. The owner did nothing to stop the barking and just told us, "he's deaf". And? Why in the world do you have your deaf dog in a service dog vest when he so clearly isn't one, and why is he in the place where you work? Ambiance was horrible, only one table to sit at and carts all over the place. We quickly left. Donuts are fine. Wouldn't go again, wouldn't suggest going again. You'll find better donuts elsewhere.

So the place is a total hole in the wall joint that is pretty indescipt, but regardless of the physical and aesthetic mess, the donuts are decent. Ambience not so much. Donuts for sure. Not sure why this place is grunge with a dozen donuts almost $40 but it is what it is. Try at your own risk.

Not a donut guy but this place is amazing! Is it a hole-in-the-wall? Yes. Yes it is. Is there an old lady behind the counter excited by every sprinkled delicacy you choose? No. No there is not. Does there need to be? Not even a little.This place is about a bare bones as it gets and it's amazing. You have to get there early (0615'ish) to get the best selection because they'll be mostly sold out by 0800. Yes. It's a little pricy. No, they're not the air filled garbage you get a Krispy-Kream. This is a meal. Not too sweet and never lacking for filling or glazing every bite is worth it for your skip day. Yeah, there is a dog and his name is Gronk. I am able to put my hate of the Pats aside and love on him when he's in the shop. The only bummer is that they're not open on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I guess the appeal of Horseshoe donuts is their enormous size, but I prefer a normal sized donut. The flavor was good. The service was excellent! Glad we tried it but likely won't be going back there again.

4/5 donuts and display however the rest of the place was less than ideal and that's why it'll get a lower rating. The store had a dog inside that freely walked through the sitting area and the kitchen. There was a dirty dog mat on the ground next to the display and chewed up dog bones everywhere. The dog also proceeded to bark at several customers who were sitting right outside. I love dogs however not when they are freely walking in and out of the kitchen of a shop I'm eating at. Could use a good deep clean.

Came in around 8am and was greeted by the human behind the counter. We took a moment to look at the menu and what was available, and then took a few minutes while putting laundry in at the laundry mat to decide on our selections. We got 2 donuts and a fritter. The amount of filling in the lemon donut was perfect, plenty to be fulfilled but not too much that I felt like it was just filling. Also the size of the donuts, I didn't register that they are quite a bit larger than what I'm use to seeing at any chain places. Also the quality of ingredients and freshness of the donuts is immediately noticeable. We are in state for the summer for work and I will be stopping by any morning I do laundry ^.^ hoping to meet the infamous Gronk too :)
