Hurts Donuts - Oklahoma City

[ChowRunner]

Hurts Donuts have announced an Oklahoma City Location coming by the end of the year. They have yet to announce where in OKC that it will be located but you can follow them on their facebook page.

So I take it none of you have been to the hurts in Norman.

I have, I love their variety. Looking forward to one being closer.

I have, a couple of times. Honestly, I wasn't impressed. I'm more of a purist. Keep it simple with the toppings and flavors. That said, my pre-teen cousins love all that crap they put on them. Give me a Missy's glazed or chocolate any day.

I occasionally love a Hurt's blueberry streusel donut or the maple bacon long john, but most of the others have way too many toppings and I'd rather have a Dunkin' Donuts coconut cake donut.

I also don't like Hurts. We get them at work every week and I just don't like them. Too dry for me.

^^^. Same thing about the dryness. Take the fruit loops and other stuff off and these doughnuts can't stand on their own. Gourmet Donut on Porter has a superior product.

The couple of times I tried Hurts donuts with cereal on them. The cereal always had a stale quality to it... Not so much the taste but the texture.

Yeah, I like Hurts but that's been my experience with the cereal donuts as well. Very stale.

Missy's is darn good. They now have a second location at 33hwy and I-35. One of our coworkers who lives a bit north of there usually brings in a load every Friday, and they're almost always still warm. A week ago last Friday, he couldn't make it, so he asked me if I would go pick up the order. I said no problem, and drove from west Edmond up to Guthrie at 6:00a to get them.... $83 worth.

By the way, their chocolate bread is awesome.

I'm glad the stale cereal quality wasn't just me.

The name is going to make it confusing for the joke when you ask someone if they want a hurts don't it and then punch them in the arm.

[Pete]

They are purposely keeping the exact location a secret.

Just talked to the owner who said they would be doing a scavenger hunt type of thing after the first of the year along with all types of donut prizes.

Hurts is out of Springfield, MO and this will be their 17th (!) location.

I don’t think this thread has turned out the way ChowRunner anticipated.

This is a shame to hear. I've never been to Hurts, but I've spent a lot of time in the prototype hipster donut shop--Voodoo Donut in Oregon. Those donuts definitely stand on their own, regardless of the weirdo topings.

Lol nope, I enjoy a few of their donuts but don't get the chance to get down to Norman often. The Jesus donut is amazing, so maybe it's a good thing that it isn't any closer or on my commute.

Wife and I tried them once and thought it was terrible. Bacon long john was about as dry/stale as a donut that I've ever had. Most likely been sitting there for at least several hours. Even a half day old donut from Dunkin wasn't as bad. We also had a cake donut and it wasn't as bad but way too sweet. This was over a year ago, so I can't remember what topping we had on the cake donut. The donuts definitely look cool when placed in a box with all the various toppings, but the quality is nowhere near any of the local mom-and-pop shops in town. Give me a traditional donut from AM Donuts, Best Donuts, or Daylight on Hefner/Penn any day of the week.

[Plutonic Panda]

Hmmm, I’ve always enjoyed their donuts though they are a tad on the dry side.

[dwmouser]

Have they announced where the location is going to be yet? Or when it is going to open?

[Pete]

No, not yet.

[rcjunkie]

Tried the Norman location twice, horrible the first time, second time was hoping for improvement, WRONG!!, by far the worst donut I've ever had.

[DowntownMan]

They will be going into the Citizens State Bank building on 23rd. They haven’t officially posted this yet but the pictures they posted make it clear it’s this building (603 nw 23rd)

I am glad life is coming back to this building...but...is a donut shop the best use here?

Why not? They have a fairly good following. They will attract people to the Uptown district during the morning and day. Im not a huge a fan of their donuts, but I know many who are. I think they will do good and bring a different mix of people to the area.

[Mr. Cotter]

Is the Dunkin' Donuts still going in 1/3 of mile east of here?
