I happened to mention this to the hubby who said he’d never heard of John’s Space Age Donuts.
True story: The hubby and I were watching a not-so-great movie called Rudderless where they had a donut shop called Chuck’s Space Age Donuts, a clear rip off of John’s Space Age Donuts. This little gem is worth the visit, so if it’s been a while or you’ve never tried it, be sure to pop in some weekend and check it out. If you want coffee with it, it’s going to be classic diner coffee, not a strong cup you may be accustomed to. The cake ones I’ve had in the past are just okay, but I’m not the biggest cake donut connoisseur anyhow. They have a strong apple flavor and crisped edges, with just a hint of frosting throughout the whole thing. They’re known for their apple fritters, and they are, quite frankly the best in town. They go especially quickly during Farmers’ Market season as the OP Market is just down the road. One other thing that doesn’t change? You need to get their EARLY to get the best selection as they go pretty quickly. The donut box is unchanged, the building is unchanged, and I’m pretty sure the staff is unchanged over the last handful of decades. The inside counter is like a 50’s diner, and you can see the hazy donut making process in the back as you hangout. Who says everything has to change? That’s definitely not the case with John’s Space Age Donuts it’s as classic a donut shop as you’re going to find.
