General Info
The Spudnut Shop was established in 1948 by my dad, Barlow Ghirardo, and my uncle, Jerry Bell. With one $50 check, they bought a franchise and 100 sacks of Spudnut flour. The shop was originally located in the Richland Wye and operated primarily as a wholesale business. When the highway was built in 1950, The Spudnut Shop moved to its present location in Uptown Richland. What's a Spudnut, you may ask, and isn't it the same as a doughnut? Well, Spudnuts are different than doughnuts. For one thing, they're made from potato flour. For another thing, they just plain taste better.We feel that it is only fair to warn you that Spudnuts are habit forming. Eating just one could turn you into a regular customer and one of our life-long friends. If you're not careful, you could get yourself coming in here on a daily basis to chat with friends or just to relax with a cup of coffee, a Spudnut, and a newspaper. Before you know it, we'll be greeting you by your first name, and the waitress will be serving up your favorite Spudnut before you even order it. After a few visits, you may get to feel so at home that you start leaving our number on your answering machine. We know it's scary, but that's the way it's been since Dad first opened up in 1948. So give your Spudnut order the careful consideration it deserves. Remember, we're talking about a relationship here. For the past 60 years, we've served tens of thousands of people and countless Spudnuts (not to mention Spuddies, Spuffins, and other treats). We were even recently featured on the Food Network's " Unwrapped " and the Travel Channel special " Donut Paradise." We hope that you'll be able to stop by for a Spudnut, a cup of coffee, and our unique brand of hospitality.

Been eating Spudnuts for about the last 45 years. I absolutely love them. As a young child I ate a whole dozen in one sitting! Mmmm! Yummy.
I absolutely love this place! It's even been on The Food Network! And Sarah Palin even stopped in there when she was in the neighborhood, they must be doing something right! Love this place!

great place for donuts. get their early to have them warm.
The Spudnut Shop has been around for ages! It's a tiny little shop that makes fresh spudnuts every morning. It has its "regulars" of which many are seniors.
Offers a variety of fresh spudnuts and also a food menu, as well as lattes, mochas, etc.
Friendly staff. Small place can get packed during breakfast hours leaving no sitting room but they are always good to take out too!
