Based on the reviews here, we stopped by the Spudnut Shop on our way south over the weekend. It's a small coffeeshop that would be pretty nondescript to passersby. My sons and I each got one doughnut and ate it outside, just to see what the fuss was about. Incredibly fresh and tasty, we walked back in and got a... more

Delicious. Seriously the best donuts I've ever had. Made with potato flour and fried to perfection. As others have noted, their hours are sadly limited (which I don't understand since a well-made donut is a treasure that must surely be coveted 24 hours a day!)--so go early and often! more

I love Spudnuts. It's a leftover from an earlier time in Charlottesville's history (and America's actually as there was a brief time in which potato flour donuts were somewhat of a fad), and it's fun to go. The donuts themselves are excellent - very light, fluffy, and sweet. Definitely worth visiting this funky old place. more

Local doughnut shop where they make them with potato flour. This was actually a chain a long time ago, now a few survive and a few thrive. They serve both yeast and cake and close when they're all sold out (so get there early.) more
