For a Sweet Treat:

Winchell's Donut House

A longtime downtown Longmont favorite, Winchell's Donut House has been serving fresh doughnuts, pastries, coffee, and breakfast classics for generations. Beyond its menu, Winchell's became part of local lore after a vehicle crashed into the building in 2021, forcing the beloved shop to close for nearly four years while owners navigated repairs, rebuilding requirements, and reopening delays. Many locals wondered if it would ever return, making its eventual reopening one of downtown's most anticipated comebacks. Today, Winchell's once again welcomes customers to enjoy a sweet treat and a piece of Longmont history.

Landline Doughnuts & Coffee

Bringing a nostalgic twist to a classic treat, Landline Doughnuts & Coffee specializes in handcrafted potato doughnuts made from scratch using fresh mashed potatoes, creating a texture that's somewhere between a cake and raised doughnut.
