Rosauers maple bars and Bentleys

An article in the Sept./Oct. 2020 issue of Road & Track cites Colfax and Rosauers for its maple bars.

The article started with the author in the Rosauers parking lot. His goal was to determine who had the best maple bar in Washington state with Rosauers as one of the three contenders. The author began the day in Colfax, then drove to Spokane for maple bars from Retro Donuts and finally to Madison Park Bakery in Seattle before returning to his midstate home. The drive took less than 11 hours and totaled 650 miles for the sake of donuts and to highlight Bentley features.

In a blind taste test, Rosauers was deemed the “sweetest and airiest of the bunch, topped with a punchier, more overtly sweet glaze,” but Retro Donuts was crowned champ by the author and his family and friends.

The article was sent into the Gazette by former editor Jerry Jones who now lives in Shelton, Wash.
