Readers named Sandy’s Donuts 'Best Bakery' in the Best of the Red River Valley 2021 competition.

Sandy's Donuts was voted Best Bakery in 2020. An aggressive delivery strategy during the last year of the pandemic may mean an expansion for the firm.

Whether you dunk them in coffee or take a bite right out of the box, Sandy’s Donuts have a hold on the sweet tooths of the area.

For the fifth year in a row, readers voted Sandy’s Donuts Best Bakery.

Part of the appeal may be the company’s willingness to bring donuts to your door. After the pandemic took a bite out of business, owner Mark Ostlund decided to offer home deliveries.

And it’s not just Fargo-area homes that get to sink their teeth into the fluffy baked goods; Sandy’s started rolling out over-the-road deliveries, dropping off sweets from Jamestown, N.D., to Fergus Falls and Pelican Rapids, Minn.

As the area’s appetite for donuts and sweet rolls continues to grow, so do Sandy’s operations. In April, Ostlund said he was looking to expand its production space. Sandy’s already makes more than 10,000 donuts a day, so more space just means more of the dozens of different sweets readers love the most.
