Is it really fall if you haven’t yet bit into a sweet, spiced apple cider doughnut?
The Bay might not be New England, but you can still enjoy this autumnal treat. Try one of these bakeries below to get in the fall mood and celebrate the season with something absolutely delicious!
While this Bernalfavorite is beloved for its sourdough, pastries, granolas and more, the seasonal apple cider doughnut is one of the best in town. Come to the physical store, or stop by one of the many pop-ups at farmers' markets across the Bay Area.
There’s a lot of love in these handmade doughnuts and a lot of time-honored traditions. Using recipes that date back to the 1920s, Johnny’s knows a thing or two about classic tastes, and of course, the apple cider doughnut is no exception! If the seasonal treat is not on the menu, go for a delightful apple fritter!
Known for its pies of all flavors with seasonal twists and classic standbys, Butter Love Bake Shop is also a must-stop for apple cider doughnuts during the autumn months. They’re available now alongside delicious peach pie fritters, for a limited time!
If you’re okay with a drive, head down to Placerville and visit one of the family farms in Apple Hill. These apple orchards are a great place for family fun and seasonal activities, including eating your fill of apple cider doughnuts. These are the favorite among longtime Bay Area residents, so make the trek and have a day trip to remember.
