June 4th is National Donut Day. Wondering where to get your fix of delicious donuts? Check out Sarah Jane’s Bakery, a Northeast institution. We spoke to Stephanie Botzet about their offers for the day and popular bakery items available every day.
Q: Will you have special donuts or offers for National Donut Day?
A: We sure will. We are offering 2 dozen assorted boxes ready to come in and pick up- as well as cases stocked full of all of our fan favorites!
Q: What bakery item do you wish more people would try?
A: Honestly, our donuts are popular all around- but I would say our MN springing! Donut (MN shaped raised donuts with strawberry rhubarb filling and strawberry glaze) is a must try. Also, our coconut lime donut (raised donut with lime buttercream dipped in toasted coconut) is refreshing on hot days and slightly unique!
We also have 3 different flavors of old fashioneds! (Sour cream, blueberry, and chocolate). Those would be my suggestions! Here’s a tip - come early to get the best selection!
Q: What are the bakery’s most popular products?
A: Our most popular donuts are probably the crunch donut (glazed cake with crunchy donut cinnamon sugar coating), the apple fritters, and MN shaped donuts.
Sarah Jane's is located at 2853 Johnson Street NE
Q: Sarah Jane’s has been a neighborhood fixture since 1979. Your family acquired the bakery five years ago. Please tell us about the experience since the purchase.
A: Our experience in owning the bakery for the last 5 years has been great! The building has actually been a bakery sense 1927…so there's a lot of history here! We're trying to uphold the tradition while adding new things! It's a great corner (Johnson Street And 29th) with lots of great small businesses- we feel truly grateful to be part of this community!
