The Donut Man-It's Peach Donut Time! (Glendora)

The first day of peach donuts was July 24, 2014.  The last day August 10, 2014.  Peach donut time at Donut man is very limited. 

Thanks for dropping by mmm-yoso!!! on this humid day (we had some rain and then it hit 80).  Nothing is perfect, but maybe a road trip will help. Kirk and Ed(from Yuma) are staying cool today.

I mentioned The Donut Man in one of my conglomerate posts last year and a few  other local bloggers also drove North, all of us reporting on the infamous fresh strawberry donuts. Early this past Thursday, I checked a Facebook page, took the car to Costco for fuel and told The Mister to get ready.  Road Trip!Yes, it's time for the short 'season' of peach donuts and their availability. 

The signage is only hanging from the front of the building and not even yet set up on the side windows (as the strawberry signs are in the other posts). Also, the crowds had not yet descended upon this iconic Southern California donut shop. 

Walking past the side window, you could see a new tray of the seasonal treats was being prepared...

to be properly displayed in the front window.

I purchased two boxes of exactly the same choices (one box for cc and her family)(a Tiger's Tail, French Cruller and Buttermilk Bar) and drove back to San Diego (after a quick lunch across the street) and our road trip was done.  No crowds (except on the freeways) and the peach donut run was history.

Oh-the donut itself is a very large raised and glazed donut, cut partly through and then just the fresh peaches in a glaze placed inside.  The resulting confection was heavy in weight, the donut was light and airy with a crispy sweet outer shell. The filling wasn't as sweet as canned pie filling and the peaches still had texture.

Love Donut Man. Never tried the peach just strawberry.
We would fly into Ontario just to have an excuse to go to see the Man.
I can't believe my cousin who lives in LA finally tried one this year.

Thanks for the gift box assortment! We liked them all! The peaches were not too sweet but very tasty.

Flying in to Ontario instead of LAX or John Wayne just for The Donut Man...that beats my 120 mile one way drive on a Thursday morning, by a lot. Good your cousin is venturing out. We tend to stay in our own neighborhoods and don't know what we are missing.
You're welcome, cc. I was thinking this weekend would be crazy with lines (and it was, according to Facebook). Combined with the heat/humidity we had, the spur of the moment trip was the best thing to have done. We can drive up for a pumpkin donut later in the year.
