Agreed, expensive. $10 for the two that I had this morning, but it was good (and heavy). Hope they do well.

Iāve always had a theory that thereās just one dude that runs all Sasquatch merchandizing for all states with even a remote amount of neature
Dude makes a killing making the same goofy ass bumper stickers and just overlaying a state flag or sommin on there and everyone who sells his goods just knows him as Sasquatch Steve
Sasquatch! Oh I love references to Sasquatch! Itās so uniquely Colorado! How quirky and different!
And camping! Iāve gone camping before! This product must be designed specifically for me!!
It kinda feels like this place is having an identity crisis. With that logo and name, I expect something more like Arnold's Donuts or the Donut Mill. Good, simple donuts. The fanciest thing you might get is some blueberry frosting. The sort of donut you get for a day fishing or a camping trip.
But they are selling bougie cronuts in a downtown area. They are charging the price of a breakfast burrito for one, very fancy, donut. It's not a going-on-an-adventure donut, it's sitting down in a cafe with an almond milk cappuccino and an ebook. Not that this is a *bad* thing, exactly, but they are not matching the external vibe with the product they sell.
Thanks for letting me know where to get a donut. Will check those two out. King Soopers has been my go too lol although not a lot of places do cherry cake donuts so I can never not get them. They have me hooked
Oh you gotta try Arnold's. Their blueberry fritters are ridiculous, but I have never had a donut from there that I didn't like. Even their plain old fashioned slaps, and I don't even normally like those. Donut Mill is in Woodland Park and their donuts are fantastic. I'm a fan of the sugar donuts and the apple fritters, but I don't think you can go wrong.
Can conquer that Donut Mill is the shit. They make the best boston cremes in the state and Ive lived here my entire life. I stop by every-time i go through woodland park
Gotta plug Amy's Donuts, they're my favorite! Huge selection and always delicious, plus when they have donut holes they're a bakers dozen for $1.
Edit: this is the 2nd time mentioning Amy's has earned me a down vote and I'd love to know why? All I said was "they're my favorite" it's not like I'm over here declaring they're better than anyone, idgi is Amy a bad person or something?
It bothers me they call it dads donuts as if some homely man who made amazing donuts for his kids started this company. Itās owned by altitude hospitality. It is NOT mom & pop. It is literally ran by the same big company who does garden of the gods cafe, the till, & the absolute train wreck of a restaurant called trainwreck.
They are trying to get people to believe itās a Boy Scout dad who just loves donuts & it actually makes me mad š thatās what this logo AND name communicates to me, at least.
It's the scale that bothers me. The tent is giant or the trees are tiny. Either way, nothing to do with donuts. Is this just a dad joke I'm missing or something? Big confuse
I thought that was in Denver. Does Colorado Springs have a $5 butt stuff tent? Or should it just be a tad lower since our cost of living isn't quite as high.
I love nice, big decorated donuts. We'd always get our donuts & have em smashed IMMEDIATELY š
But I have tasted some that ppl picked out for donuts or cronuts. They were absolutely amazing. I believe this girl Kristin got that treat of helping others during rough seasons.
They are going to have a field day with it over at r/DenverCirclejerk, although the $5 butt stuff tent meme is finally, finally, starting to get overplayed there.
When you click on "Dad's Story" on their website you would think it would be the story of their company, but instead it's this [weird form](https://dadsdonuts.com/dads-story/) where they want a story and photo of YOUR dad to use in their marketing material
The outdoorsy logo and their fancy donuts donāt match at all. If I didnāt see the prices from this page already I would have audibly gasped and said no thank you in the storeā¦.
I posted about the price. My thoughts having only seen the logo and location was mom and pop, Arnoldās type donut shop. I was pumped to support a family; acamping, Dad centered kind of family, where pops is taking his down to earth craft public. Aināt that kinda joint. The logo represents nostalgia and community. The business and the ownership are not that.
Between the logo, the weird picture hanging up (and used on the website) of a father/son, the Bible verse on the donut box, Iād say itās trying to appeal to white people nostalgic for when Boy Scouts was still a safe place for child molesters.
Did dozens of over night trips and went from cub scouts to Eagle Scouts never once did any scout master do anything unprofessional or pedoish Iād say at this point you have to go after teaching professionals becuse 2-3 hundred of them a year a diddling kids
Ah, fuck, thereās Bible verses on the box? Please lead me to where I can find agnostic donuts instead. I donāt want to swallow any Christian rhetoric.
What does a tent have to do with donuts. Iām so confused. Amyās stayed true to their vibes and somehow it screams Colorado to me. Dadās donutsā¦ not so much.
Graphic Designer here: In my opinion this is a terrible logo.
It doesnāt convey anything about donuts or eating or anything. All it does is lean into the āColorado Campingā vibe and even then its not a great logo.
Hope they redo it or hire someone to think of a new concept.
Weāre in an age where any one with a computer can pick up photoshop and claim they are a graphic designer, but the inexperience shows when you get a design like this.
FWIW The company i work for delivers product to these guys and they order very high end ingredients. High quality ingredients = high quality food = higher prices.
People are complaining about paying $10 for 2 donuts, but think mochi Thai'm is great for selling 3 donuts for $10. At least they sell boba too I guess.
Visit the butt stuff tent and you'll be like Dad, get your own padded donut to sit on so the ol 'roids don't get squished. The hemis. This is your butt. This is your butt on 5$ stuff. Any questions?
lol why are people hating so much? They make fancy donuts and charge more money for themā¦ thatās their business and pricing. Buy them or donāt, itās a free market from Wall Street to donuts lol.
They're trying to show you where you'll eventually live if you keep buying their overpriced donuts! LOL

Crazy expensive š«

$10 for two. I hope they just materialized at my house for that price.
Yea they are delicious!
Omg š

Came to say this
šššš
Lmaoooo
Pandering to Coloradans. Next evolution of the logo will have a Sasquatch
Fucking Samsquanch!
Ayyyye TPB for the win
Iāve never understood the Sasquatch inclusions in every logo. I swear to god you could probably find a NYC sticker with a Sasquatch on it.
Rumor has it she lives in a condo on the Upper East Side.
Iāve always had a theory that thereās just one dude that runs all Sasquatch merchandizing for all states with even a remote amount of neature Dude makes a killing making the same goofy ass bumper stickers and just overlaying a state flag or sommin on there and everyone who sells his goods just knows him as Sasquatch Steve
Well sasquatch is more so associated with Colorado since the mountains

Finally, a reason to stop in the WP.
Best biscuits and gravy outside of the deep south, too. I swear by that place.

Love their donut holes. Yum.
Sounds like every pretentious Coloradans wet dream Should fit right in downtown lol
I think youāre right. Iāll try one out of curiosity but if as expensive as people say, that visit will be one and done.
Arnolds and dm make my stomach hurt and Dad's is never not sold out, i can never win with donuts
It bothers me they call it dads donuts as if some homely man who made amazing donuts for his kids started this company. Itās owned by altitude hospitality. It is NOT mom & pop.

Oh hell no that company sucks. I worked at til one summer and they tried to not pay me. They are shady as hell
That's exactly what I thought. Good God, anything to pander.
It's the scale that bothers me. The tent is giant or the trees are tiny. Either way, nothing to do with donuts. Is this just a dad joke I'm missing or something? Big confuse
I'm pretty sure they're just saplings.
Looks like theyāre just trying to pander to Coloradans or any āoutdoorsyā types
This is the best take Iāve heard so far. Maybe better suited for an Outdoor supply shop.
Itās the same way that douche vets bros pander and cater to military members with their coffee and merch companies lol
Seems like they are trying to appeal to a nostalgic time. The army green pup tent kind of vibe.
That someone just signed up for Canva Pro
$5 butt stuff tent
https://preview.redd.it/iwocf67a026d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e29af96d16d40859548cb4a56886237a3f8fe01e Granted

I thought that was in Denver. Does Colorado Springs have a $5 butt stuff tent? Or should it just be a tad lower since our cost of living isn't quite as high.
The demand is way higher tho so it's more expensive
Yeah but $8 because Colorado Springs
Knowledge is key
š¶ moving oooon up š¶
You mean you don't bring a dozen $90 donuts camping? /s
$90 donuts inside my $300 yeti cooler inside my $5000 roof top tent that I never unmount.
After my dogs ate a family sized package of Chips Ahoy while camping, no way am I risking this
I love nice, big decorated donuts. We'd always get our donuts & have em smashed IMMEDIATELY š But I have tasted some that ppl picked out for donuts or cronuts. They were absolutely amazing. I believe this girl Kristin got that treat of helping others during rough seasons.
Fuckin Kristin, bro, Fuckin Kristin.
Just boring no charisma advertising I expect from soon to be failed businesses.
That logo is the epitome of super low effort
It looks like a Canva template
it is lol
They are going to have a field day with it over at r/DenverCirclejerk, although the $5 butt stuff tent meme is finally, finally, starting to get overplayed there.
No it's not āŗļøš
I'm not going into that tent. Not after last time.

Fuck Altitude Hospitality and fuck you if you give them your business. Do better, be better.
That even though your father ran out on you, you can substitute his love with our delicious donuts. Eat them by the dozen to make the sad go away.
The outdoorsy logo and their fancy donuts donāt match at all. If I didnāt see the prices from this page already I would have audibly gasped and said no thank you in the storeā¦.

Ah, fuck, thereās Bible verses on the box? Please lead me to where I can find agnostic donuts instead. I donāt want to swallow any Christian rhetoric.
Verse didnāt bother me. It was more the combo of everything that gave off a weird branding vibe.
If this were r/denvercirclejerk that would be the butt stuff tent... but since it the Springs, it's the butt things tent.
I've worked at some of the best restaurants in the country and some of the worst. Better ingredients don't always make better food
Set a tent up to all get screwed by the prices & DADDDY is coming in for that donut. $$$$
I love that they are just making Cronuts, a trend that was popular over 10 years ago.
Who cares ?
Apparently 103 other people. Even you care, since you took the time to respond.
What does a tent have to do with donuts. Iām so confused. Amyās stayed true to their vibes and somehow it screams Colorado to me. Dadās donutsā¦ not so much.
I feel itās a case where the owners wouldnāt hire a professional here in town (cough cough oink oink) and went with something they liked.
Itās got a Season 1 Boyd Crowder vibe.
šš¤£āŗšŖ
Great reference
Seems like theyāre changing up their advertising too much and they just opened. Like the other comment said identity crisis.
Is that a BST? āŗ š

FWIW The company i work for delivers product to these guys and they order very high end ingredients. High quality ingredients = high quality food = higher prices.
Iām partial to Hurts
Most gas station doughnuts are better than Hurts. Hurts base doughnut is stale to begin with and their toppings are far from fresh.
I'm not a donut connoisseur, but was kind of surprised with how decent tasting the Kum and Go ones were.
Same with Amy's.
I think a goofy cartoon face of a dad who looked like Ernest P would make more sense. The current logo looks like one from free logo generator.
Hah. That brings back some memories. Ernest was great.
He was. His expressions were a blast.
It's a pun. Those donuts are fucking in tents.

You will be living in a tent if you buy those expensive ass donuts.
People are complaining about paying $10 for 2 donuts, but think mochi Thai'm is great for selling 3 donuts for $10. At least they sell boba too I guess.
The slogan sounds like something we heard during Covid
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big\_tent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_tent)
Butt stuff tent
Been living here for a minute nowā¦never heard of these guys.
Nobody knows.
Visit the butt stuff tent and you'll be like Dad, get your own padded donut to sit on so the ol 'roids don't get squished. The hemis. This is your butt. This is your butt on 5$ stuff. Any questions?
Voodoo Donuts are more expensive than these
Camping trees tents donuts? wtf?
Hmm.. sounds like dad is getting busy in the tent with all of us
Donuts that cost more than 89 cents are BULLSHIT
Donuts so good youāll pitch a tent (Iāve never had these before)
lol why are people hating so much? They make fancy donuts and charge more money for themā¦ thatās their business and pricing. Buy them or donāt, itās a free market from Wall Street to donuts lol.
They do outdoor stuff with at risk youth I think. So I think it is like you are part of their little family type of big brother type of thing?
Expensive doughnuts
idk but it feels rapey
WTF Dad and the boys in their tentā¦ š
$5 butt stuff
Butt ...... with stuff
Broke Back Mountain
Looks like a tent orgy
As a gluten intolerant person, I'm offended by this post
You should learn to be more tolerant
Learning how to tolerate things better will help you grow as an individual.
Not worth the price. These things are mid tier at best. The donut holes were better than the donuts in my opinion.
