The Local Donut is an oasis
in a Phoenix area desert of chain donut spots.
They are a boutique donut store in Scottsdale that, in their words:
offers“ traditional donuts with fun twist… our donuts are made Fresh
Every Morning. We stick to our roots and make traditional donuts like the
traditional Glaze. We also add our own fancy style donuts that are
different from the ones you would typically see around the area. Besides
presentation, we make sure our dough has the right amount of taste and texture
for everyone to enjoy.” Their donuts are
beautiful, fresh, and different. The
shop is clean and the staff is friendly.
I loved the chocolate glazed old fashioned and Emily, my other taste tester, thoroughly
enjoyed her choices.
Definitely worth a return
visit in Scottsdale, Arizona! 
Update: Our first visit was March, 2017. We went back for more in March 2018.
This place is truly a gem; their old fashioned donuts (in many
varieties) are quite delicious and Dan, the proprietor, is delightful.
We will definitely make this an annual (if not more frequent) stop!
