It's officially World Donut Day! How lucky that Lex-Ham has its very own donut shop Donut Trap!

Tucked right behind the Hamline Avenue bridge, The Donut Trap has flavors like "Girls Luv Beyonce" (dark Chocolate with a cherry amaretto drizzle) and "Uncle Clifford" (reeses peanut butter.)

They recently opened their patio for the summer - swing by Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am - 2 pm for fresh cake donuts!
