It's fall and cider donuts have returned with their warm, melt-in-your-mouth fall flavor.
But where can you get them in the QC? We told you about some of the best places to go apple picking near the QC and for some of your favorite cider donut stops, you may have to take a short trip out of the QC too.
We love cider donuts, especially now after Labor Day weekend. They're the best seasonal snack as we enjoy our pumpkin patches and haunted houses. We asked you where the best place to get them would be and you picked our top 10 cider donut spots. The winner took the prize by a landslide. Scroll down to see where you can go for your cider donut this fall!
10. Hy-Vee
One recommendation was the bakery at Hy-Vee. This would probably be a good idea if your random craving for cider donuts hits now and it's the closest option.
9. KeDough Bakery & Pastries- Muscatine
As you can probably guess by the name KeDough specializes in keto-friendly desserts and pastries. Their menu changes daily and they have gluten-friendly options too. Check their Facebook for updates.

Several of you like the idea of cider donuts from Trader Joe's in Coralville. It's an hour's drive and for the record, I so wish the QC would get a Trader Joe's.
4. Sayler's General Store- Princeton
Sayler's General Store in Princeton, Illinois came recommended. Like several on this list, it's an hour drive outside of the QC.
3. Selmi's- Rock Falls

2. Wilson's Orchard & Farm- Iowa City
Wilson's Orchard & Farm was another spot on our list of nearby places Quad Citians can go apple picking. They're about an hour outside of the QC in Iowa City and are open Wednesday-Sunday 9:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m.
1. Tanner's Orchard- Speer
The overwhelming winner on the best local cider donuts, garnering about half of the total number of votes, is Tanners Orchard in Speer, IL. They're open every day 8:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. and they're the longest distance on this list, but still only an hour and a half away from the QC.
Go enjoy some cider donuts and happy fall!
