This little gem is without doubt, the best doughnuts I've ever had in my 70 something years on this planet. Fresh, tasty pastries served with a smile. A must go to if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed!

VERDICT: A must-eat donut stop. I am an instant fan. Go try it right now and stop reading this... unless you want to read my needlessly thorough breakdown.
UPDATE: THE MAPLE BAR is perfection. No need for the bacon. Both are good, but the maple bar as-is constitutes donut perfection in well-executed simplicity.
THE MAPLE BACON: There were two donuts that absolutely killed it: the fritter and the maple bacon. Admittedly, I've had more than a few lackluster maple bacon donuts-- from too greasy to too chewy-- but this one delivers a decisive quality that plays all the notes to perfection. The bacon bits deliver salt and savory to the (excellent) maple icing. The smokiness of the bacon is 1/10 for strength, adding a very small note within the overall motif. The slightly crisp exterior and slightly chewy interior deliver excellent textures to back the donut's flavors.
THE OLD FASHION DONUT: This donut rides the division between two camps of old fashion donuts skillfully: the cakier style, and the sour cream style. It dodges being too light and too greasy, respectively, to deliver a crisp, heavy crumbly crumb to your old fashion cake donut. I loved this fact but my wife noted her dissenting opinion as she is a staunch sour cream old fashioned fan. I am not.
THE APPLE FRITTER: Excellent blend, also avoiding lacking rise or being too cakey. Great flavor and the apple accents without overwhelming the flavor or texture.
THE OTHERS: Excellent executions of these donuts, but was less captivated based on the types of donuts they are. The quality was superb.
BATTER NOTES: If I had to sleuth what makes these donuts superior many of the others I've had in the valley, it has to be their batter. Their donuts have a slightly more flavorful "bread" to it, with texture and sponge of the "bread" itself being crisp in flavor, leaning slightly more toward a yeast heavy dough. Even when they go dense with their sponge, it doesn't overwhelm them, and their toppings balance the donuts well.
Parking: Manna's Donuts sits on the north side of an alley, and the south side has parking stalls for them.

Insanely good, the apple fritter is bigger than my head. The donut holes melt in your mouth like Krispy Kreme. The Chai I got was perfection, this place is dangerous for your waistline but heaven for your stomach.
