OSHKOSH – It’s National Donut Day June 5, so naturally we have to go … to Piggly Wiggly?
Dunkin’ Donuts be damned!
Apparently, Oshkosh residents don’t just “shop the Pig” for its meats, considering Northwestern readers voted the Murdock Avenue supermarket as the city’s top spot for donuts.
It wasn’t by a landslide, though, with Piggly Wiggly barely getting the edge on another two locales that haven’t exactly built their brands on pastries — Kwik Trip and Festival Foods.
At least one bakery did stand out in our callout, as several Northwestern readers took a trip down memory lane to name former pastry shop Schoenberger’s as an old community fave.
But don’t take our word for it, here’s what Oshkosh had to say:
Kathu Dutcher
I prefer Kwik Trip donuts. Copps used to be the best, but that is history.
Kim Koeck
Kwik Trip.
Sally Touihri
There’s no place that used to make them like in the ’80s, they used to be delicious. We used to get them at LaFoutains Irving or Schoenberger’s on South Main.
Barbara Dinger-Kamine
Dixie Cream donuts.
Ally Marie
I miss Schoenberger’s!
Stefanie Tyler
Hands down, Piggly Wiggly! The glazed croissants are phenomenal!
Michele Dehn Ubrig
I miss Copps! Remember their huge donut counter in the original building (where Hobby Lobby is now). They made every flavor of donuts! Huge and delicious!
Kristin Goehler
Piggly Wiggly by FAR!!!
Shaunnua Henry-Maierhafer
Dixie Cream Donuts were so good.
Heather Martens
Piggly Wiggly has amazing donuts.
Sandy Schneider Cartwright
Manderfield’s.
Missy Stadtmueller
Schoenberger’s, they were the BEST! I miss that bakery so much! I even worked there back in 1998!
Kyle Robert
Pick ‘n Save. Dunkin’. Piggly Wiggly, all good.
Eric Lehocky
Schoenberger’s donuts were my favorite.
Nancy Decker
If you like an old-fashioned cake donut (even plain), Dunkin Donuts is best. You have to get there early morning, though. The one on Oshkosh Avenue usually has them.
Laurie Ann Quinn
I like Festival’s Boston cream donuts.
Donald Holdren
Ray’s Donuts and the best Cakes.
Marsha Mack Anick Clark
My favorite is actually Walmart! So soft and fluffy and not overloaded with glaze!
Samantha Cline
Let’s be simple, people: Kwik Trip glazers.
Mark Wachholz
Kwik Trip Persian donuts.
Ryan Solo Johnson
Probably Pick ‘n Save now.
Betsy LaFontaine
Piggly Wiggly, best tasting frosting. Wide selection!!
Chris DuVall
Festival’s are pretty good for a chain store.
Heidi Lynn
Piggly Wiggly now, but was Schoenberger’s!
Jerrod King
King’s Donuts.
Julie Lynn Nast
Bring back Schoenberger’s!
Christa Hopp
In Oshkosh, it’s definitely the Mineshaft. Festival is pretty much OK, too.
Kenny Matschi
Festival Foods.
