Also known as Minnedosa Bakery judging by the sign outside. These businesses really need to step up and decide what they'd like to be called; maybe the country cafe is newer than the bakery? Especially since it was more cafe than full-out bakery. The selection of mostly sweet baked goods was far from shabby, however. Think a couple varieties of doughnuts, squares, cookies - classic, unpretentious Canadian baked goods. 

I have a good eye for doughnuts and one of the sure-fire signs that a doughnut is going to be good is a fresh uniform glaze. I spotted it on these jam busters ($1.25/each) and knew I had to give them a try. And these certainly did not disappoint. I bit into this jelly doughnut and that fresh glaze crackled delicately upon impact. Beyond the glaze, the dough was thin and airy, most of it consisting of that golden brown, fried outer crust and the inside was generously filled with jam. This was almost like a fusion between a classic yeast doughnut and a cream puff - wow. My intuition was on the ball this time around.
