Cider & Donut Season in West Michigan

Fall is officially upon us, and every good Michigander knows what that means– cider and donuts! A friendly office debate about where to find the best apple cider and donuts in West Michigan inspired a donut tasting at the Riverbank Finance office today.  So, here are the results; a definitive ranking of fall flavored donuts available in West Michigan.

The Donut Participants

  • D’Arts Donuts – Grand Rapids
  • Robinette’s Apple Haus- Grand Rapids
  • Klackle Orchards – Greenville
  • DeBoer’s Bakery- Holland
  • Vander Mill – Spring Lake

The Donut Judging

We judged each donut based on four categories; presentation, freshness, fall flavor, and overall taste. We used a scale of 1-5, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. Our entire team participated, and we took the average of all categories to come up with our totals.

The Results

  • Best Presentation: TIE between D’Arts and DeBoer’s (4.44)
  • Freshest: Robinette’s (4.88)
  • Fall Flavorful: Klackle’s (4.77)
  • Best Taste: Robinette’s (4.72)

The Winner of the Best Donut in West Michigan

If we HAD to pick just one, it would be Klackle’s in Greenville. Their combined overall score was a 4.36 and their cider was just plain delicious. The market bakery features more than just donuts– they have dozens of mouthwatering goodies and gifts. While you’re there, don’t forget to pick your own apples and pumpkins, and check out all of the farm fun activities!
