HOLE FOODS
Revolution Donuts
1720 W. Mulberry, Fort Collins
revolutiondonuts.com 970-472-1055
Revolution Donuts’ location, tucked away in a tired strip mall at the west edge of City Park in Fort Collins, makes it the perfect place to indulge in the guilty pleasure of a not-too-sweet, chocolate cake doughnut enrobed in fudgy frosting. Understanding that not all sweet tooths start jonesing at the crack of dawn, 6-month old Revolution is open 6 a.m-noon daily, and then again from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
SWEET MAIN STREET
Chocolates by Mary Carol
2560 W. Main St., Littleton
303-795-7913
There are lots of sweet things about Littleton’s Main Street shopping district. But one of the best tasting bits is Chocolates by Mary Carol. Drop in to the tiny boutique to sample the hand-made yum. Her light almond toffee gives the big Colorado maker of the same style of candy a run for the state’s taste buds.
DOG-GONE GOOD
Coney Island Express
1261 Main St., Windsor 970-686-2125
Is there really such a thing as a hot-dog emergency? If you have one, get it treated at Coney Island Express, where the classic Coney dog is an authentic masterpiece, slathered in homemade all-meat chili, a shot of yellow mustard and a dusting of white onions.
