DeEtta's Bakery - Naperville

 

 

DeEtta's is located at 428 West Fifth Avenue in Naperville, IL. 

DeEtta's Bakery ( <---- oooooooo check out our new linking feature! We fancy!) is a full service bakery and on Fridays and Saturday mornings only, they make and sell from-scratch donuts. We did not know this when we first went there on a Wednesday, so we were a bit disappointed but drowned our sorrows in petite fours and cinnamon rolls and somehow persevered. We went back on a Friday and we sure were glad we did! I was pleasantly surprised by the large variety of the donuts available and they definitely tasted scratch-made. On a personal note, I know the owner from somewhere and its DRIVING ME CRAZY trying to remember how!? I mean like I have, at one point in my life, had one or more long conversations with him. WHEN!? HOW!?? I can almost recall it, but its fuzzy and ARGH I might go mad trying to remember. Anyways, the donuts were great. Bakery donuts are usually hit or miss for me, but these were a step above normal. Good stuff. 

M, age 11: I had the strawberry glazed doughnut,  and that was delicious. Also the sour cream doughnut was amazing. I didn't get the chance to eat the coconut long john though, because my dad ate the whole thing before it could reach our house. I bet it was delicious. But, overall, I would give this place a 7/10, because everything was good, but it tasted a little artificial.

L, age 8: I had the glazed doughnut.  It was good. I am liking old fashioned donuts more lately.

K, age 6: I really really really liked the jelly donut.   But I didn't enjoy the strawberry filling because I like jelly more than strawberry filling.    And then, the one with the sprinkles was tasty.     But the glazed donut felt a little bit yucky and made my tummy growl.....

My first strawberry cake donut! It had chunks of real strawberries in it which pleased me, but was obviously artificially flavored. Those of you who know me know how I am about the artificial fruit flavors. They repulse me. And its totally normal to be this detail oriented/obsessed with my food, but not be able to remember what time I am supposed to take my kids to school. My brain can only manage so many details at once, people. 

Bottom Line: Mixed Bag.
