The Madbrook Donut Co., Clearfield

Review and photos by Noelle Graf

When I first reviewed Madbrook Donuts back in 2008, I was impressed with its relaxed coffee house vibe, the mountain view and, of course, the donuts. A few things have changed since then: the comfy leather sofas are gone, and for the most part so is the view, replaced by a brand new, private arts academy. But go inside this bustling donut shop and you'll find much more than you would imagine at this unassuming location. Delectable, oversized donuts--priced at under a dollar--are just the beginning. The menu also boasts breakfast sandwiches, hot and cold lunch combos, a salad bar, soups, and a range of beverages including coffee, hot chocoloate, teas, and fountain drinks.

Madbrook has grown from a sleepy donut shop to a bustling cafe but the atmosphere is still just right for a morning coffee break or afternoon lunch date. There are plenty of tables if you're heading over at peak time. They also have a convenient drive-up/walk-up window if you're in a rush but just can't pass by those donuts.
