Sedonuts
It is known as the Sedona’s early morning dessert sanctuary. Sedonuts will satisfy your sweet tooth by offering you the most one-of-a-kind donuts you have ever eaten. Chocolate Oreo, a cake donut topped with Oreo pieces and Oreo filling; locally inspired Glazed Red Rock; Lemon Drops; Let It Snow and the Vortex which is not technically a donut, rather a piece of a massive cake with cream. Get them asap as they go fast. Donuts sell out by 9-ish so if you arrive at 10 am you will only get one of the popular cold brews. So go early, they open at 6 am.
