Stopped in on our way to Boonville. After a 630am start at Windsor and some cold temps, we'd pedaled up a bit of an appetite. Papa Jakes greeted us w/ hot coffee and fried dough. The marshmallow fluff filled long john came recommended by a young man we rode w/ on the trail...very good choice. The white iced cake was a fine sample as well. Their plain glazed are fried a bit lighter than most shops and really leave a yeasty, dinner roll-like taste in your mouth, a nice choice as well. These old donut shops are institutions. Papa Jakes even had a table full of old men solving the world's problems on a Saturday morning and free coffee refills. A large coffee, 4 donuts, 1 long john, 1 apple fritter, and a milk came to $6. Make sure you stop in on your next pedal through Sedalia.
