Craving a sweet snack? Then look no further!

There are very few more indulgent and satisfying tastes to be had of any kind than the humble doughnut.

This week we asked our readers to tell us where they think sells the best in our region.

According to our Facebook users, this accolade is pretty much a head-to-head shootout between two Carlisle standouts. Online it was an even bigger debate than the usual one on this subject – whether it is 'doughnut' or 'donut'...

Anyway, here's what you've been telling us...

1. THE FAT COW, MARKET HALL CARLISLE

Readers simply could not get enough of this Carlisle staple.

Jodie Wigham Slater said: "The Fat Cow doughnuts are amazing and always cater to your needs or requests. Amazing selection and fab service."

Fellow reader Kev Andrews agreed saying: "The Fat Cow for fresh tasty doughnuts best in the town. Doughnut heaven."

2. BRUCE AND LUKE'S, CARLISLE

Reader Sophie Bell commented "Bruce and Luke's for the win! Wouldn’t get doughnuts from anywhere else, especially their Biscoff Donut."

Michelle Louise agreed saying "You can't beat Bruce & Lukes donuts. Amazing range of flavours."

3. THE GOOD SISTER, CARLISLE

If you are fancying a taste of home, then The Good Sister are on hand to offer such delights as the equally satisfying cinnamon bun.

Facebook user Mark Baker offers: "Donuts are so last season. Get an iced cinnamon bun from The Good Sister!"

4. CASTLE CHOCOLATES, CARLISLE

Facebook user Helen Deal offered her suggestion for a sugary snack in the form of Castle Chocolates, adding "they have amazing ice cream too!"

4. GREGGS, (EVERYWHERE!)

A traditional choice was offered by News & Star reader Heather Wilson who expressed her own love for a treat that is popular throughout the country. "Greggs custard filled doughnuts. Guilty not so secret now," she said.

Perhaps not the most maverick of choices but certainly a guaranteed hit.

5. BLACKPOOL PLEASURE BEACH, LANCASHIRE

A trip south to the seaside in neighbouring Lancashire is a pastime enjoyed by many in our county including Facebook user Mary Margaret who, remembering back to fun-filled days by the coast offered this slightly left-field suggestion.

"Blackpool Pleasure Beach is the best place to get donut," she asserts.

It would be a little bit of a stretch for many but in terms of a reminiscent, nostalgic pick, this suggestion maybe has legs.

And so there we have it, six very different choices, more than enough to see you right!
