Having gone out of my way by over an hour on a recent road trip to get the donuts at Sweet Coloradough, I can say I concur with Yelp!, who just named the Colorado donut shop among the best in America.

Yelp! reviewed ratings given by its Elite Squad members to rank the 50 best donut shops in the U.S., and Sweet Coloradough was the only Colorado donut shop on the list.

Located in Glenwood Springs, about a two-and-a-half-hour drive west of Denver, Sweet Coloradough offers many varieties of donuts, other breakfast items, baked goods, sandwiches, coffee and more.

Sweet Coloradough ranked at number 19 on the list of the 50 best in the nation.
