With Hanukkah just around the corner, now is the perfect time to think about where you can purchase sufganiyot for the holiday. Sufganiyot (the Hebrew word for “donuts”) are a Hanukkah staple, as they fulfill a tradition to eat fried food during the holiday, in keeping with the miracle of the leftover oil in the ransacked temple kindling the menorah for eight days. One of the most common kinds of sufganiyot is a filled donut dipped in confectioner’s sugar, but as the translation suggests, they can be any kind of donut. Here are where you can find sufganiyot in the Twin Cities. Feel free to add to the list in the comments if we’ve inadvertently left anyone out! (Also, if you’re interested in a taste test of some of these, check out The Heavy Table for their review of some of the area’s best).
