Google/Horseshoe Donuts When they say that they “serve the best donuts (that) Colorado Springs has to offer,” they aren’t kidding! How do they do it? It is by combining the “savory tastes of New England and the western philosophy of Colorado” in an effort to bring something brand-new to the Centennial State. Yum!
