About
If you love old-fashioned donuts, Mrs. Backer's Pastry Shop is the place. Crunchy on the outside with melt-in-your-mouth insides, these donuts are light but bursting with flavor. Their rare Fudge Bear donut—a raised chocolate variety—is hard to find at most donut shops. The adorable buttermilk donuts are tangy, sweet, and ultra-delicate. Donut offerings change daily, so calling ahead for specific items is recommended. This cute, quirky bakery has earned its spot as a Salt Lake City essential.
