Questions
Frequently asked
The things people ask at the counter every day.
Is The Donut Run the same as Cowboy Donuts?
Yes — the Spanish Fork shop. It was called Cowboy Donuts when we bought it. We wanted to open more, but the name was not for sale, so we became The Donut Run and opened Ogden and St. George. Same shop, same recipes, same people. If you remember us as Cowboy Donuts, you are in the right place.
What time do you open?
Every shop opens at 5:00am, Monday through Saturday. We are closed Sundays. Closing times vary a little: Spanish Fork and St. George run to 3:00pm Monday to Thursday and 2:00pm Friday and Saturday; Ogden runs to 3:00pm Monday to Saturday.
What is a kolache?
A kolache is a soft, slightly sweet roll baked around a savoury filling — sausage and cheese, bacon egg cheese and potato, ham ranchero. It is breakfast you can eat with one hand. Almost no other donut shop in Utah makes them.
How much is a dozen?
A dozen is buy ten, get two free. Traditional glazed is $15.00 a dozen, assorted $22.50, specialty $27.50. Small kolaches are $26.50 a dozen and large are $49.50.
Do you have a discount later in the day?
Yes, at two of the three shops. Every donut in the case is half price after 2:00pm, Monday through Thursday, at Spanish Fork and St. George. Ogden does not run this one — its afternoons are different, so the deal does not work there.
Where can I get dirty soda?
The Soda Run counter is at our Ogden shop only, at 554 Washington Blvd. It is not at Spanish Fork or St. George.
Do you serve coffee?
Yes, at all three shops. Ogden and St. George pour Perks, a Southern Utah roaster, fresh ground at $2.50. Spanish Fork brews its own drip coffee rather than the Perks programme.
Can I order ahead for a group?
Yes, and you should. Plan on about one and a half donuts per person, and give the shop a day's notice for a large order where you can. Call the shop nearest you — same-day is often fine.
Can I order online?
Yes. Each shop has its own ordering page for pickup, linked from that shop's page on this site.
Do you deliver?
Sometimes, yes — ask the shop. We are on DoorDash, and for larger orders and weddings the shops will often deliver directly. It depends on the day and whether someone is free, so call the shop you want to order from and ask. Ordering direct is always faster than a delivery app, and the shop gets your order straight away.
What is your most popular item?
Filled donuts and large savoury kolaches go first, most mornings. If either is what you came for, come early or order ahead — they are usually gone before the plain glazed.
Are you open on Sunday?
No. All shops are closed Sundays.
Are you open on holidays?
Almost always, yes. Other than Sundays, the only two days we close all year are Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Labor Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Pioneer Day, Presidents Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are normal days — every shop opens at 5:00am as usual. The one exception is New Year's Day: we open at 6:00am that morning rather than 5:00am, so the crew who worked New Year's Eve get an extra hour.
Do you cater weddings and events?
Yes. Mixed boxes of donuts and kolaches are the most common event order we take. Call the shop nearest the venue.
