I was fortunate enough to try their donuts when I was in town visiting a client. They brought a dozen of the regular glazed up to the jobsite, so I didn't visit the actual shop. I tasted them and immediately thought these don't taste too far off from Shipley's, just within a slightly different texture and not a greasy. I could tell they use potato flour instead of standard baking flour.
If I ever visit El Dorado again, I will make it a point to stop by the store and see what other options are offered.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Edwin B.Jonesboro, AR0125Apr 3, 2024

Best spudnuts / donuts around.
I live in NWA and when I'm in town I always get some to go back with. If I come home without them I'll be in trouble.
We need a shop in the northwest corner of arkansas.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Elizabeth M.Tacoma, WA043Jan 18, 2023
Spud nut Shoppe is the best! These Donuts melt in your mouth not in your hands, it taste like a Delicatessen. My husband and I are "In love with these Donuts!" The owners are so kind, professional and humble and compassionate! Thank you for your service!

A co-worker that grew up in El Dorado first took me here. I about lost my mind. I had never heard of using potato dough in doughnuts, although I do love gnocchi pasta that's made that way. Now when I come here, I have to have Spudnuts once a trip. They are a wonderful treat that I've never seen or heard of anywhere else.

I was born in El Dorado,Arkansas. In the years I lived there my grandparents would bring me here for donuts.
This place has been here since before I was born (1965). Still in the same place.
I live in Florida now.
Donuts definitely worth the journey.
Hot out of the oil then glazed then packaged to order.
Right on every time.
You have tried the rest;
Now,try the best.
I will be back through on the way to Hot Springs in November.

One week visit in El Dorado, AR because of a death in the family. My mother purchased a dozen Spudnuts for me to take home. LOL! They didn't last long!
Doughnuts made of potato flour, who knew? No need for gourmet fillings, clever names, and whatnot like the ones made here in DC. The Spudnut Shop is not open on Sundays. That's necessary because those Spudnuts customers keep a-comin'. Might even make me relocate there, LOL!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
