Plehn's Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (201) • $

"I ventured into Plehn's recently to get some cupcakes to celebrate my daughter's birthday with family, and Plehn's was just perfect for this.First, it celebrated its 100th birthday this year. How cool is that!?!?And it's clear when you step in that it has accumulated a wealth of baking expertise during that time. Its cases were FILLED with all manner of sweet treat, from cookies to cakes to pastries to bread to my aforementioned cupcakes. The air was sugar-filled and beckoning. Plehn's makes beautiful cupcakes with a flower design in icing on top. These were what I originally intended to buy, but they were a little outside of my budget at 6 for $19. Not complaining about that -- I imagine each cupcake takes time and skill to craft. So I looked for something else, and I found Christmas-themed cupcakes for much cheaper. And bonus: Each was topped with a plastic Christmas ring! These cupcakes were intended for several kids (and adult-like kids), so this was a great option. I purchased a dozen of these, and they stayed moist and delicious until we ate them a couple of days later. Don't sleep on this Louisville bakery mainstay. They definitely know how to make sweets that sweeten any day."

North Lime Coffee & Donuts - Clays Mill

"When they have a Nutella anything Donut as their daily special, do not miss out. Stomp the brakes, hang a right and get in line with every one else in the parking lot cause the line is out the door for a reason. It's not the service slowing it down, they are working their tails off slinging coffee and donuts and the line moves fast. But you will not be alone because this is a great place to get your sugar fix and caffeine infusion."

Clifton Donut Shop

★★★★★ 4.6 (95) • $

"I am SO glad I stopped here last Saturday! I was craving a donut after my long run and after first stopping at another bakery that was out of yeast donuts, I decided to try Clifton Donuts for the first time. The service was PHENOMENAL; when I ordered a coffee, the server brewed a fresh pot for me and when I asked if there were any filled long johns left, she told me there weren't but that she would happily fill it for me with whichever filling I wanted. And the donuts themselves were really soft, rich and flaky. This was my first time visiting, but definitely won't be my last."

Jeff's Donuts

"It's awful that I frequent this area because I keep coming back for more donuts. The donuts have always been tasty and fresh. Jeff's makes pretty good yeast donuts. They're fluffy and tall with a good rise. They're ridiculously sweet, but can't expect anything less from a good donut shop. There's no weird after taste that I get, unlike the donuts from the big chains. I recommend going with a classic glazed donut. Apple fritter is decent (not the best or worst I've had). There's always someone manning the front of the store, so service has always been quick for me. The donuts are okay the next day, but it's best to eat them the day you order them."

Donut Central

★★★★★ 4.5 (51) • $

"I enjoyed all three types of donuts I picked up here. I like to pick a variety of tastes and was pleased with the available selections. They had a raspberry bismark with powdered sugar which I really preferred to a super sweet icing some places have. I also ordered a cinnamon roll which had good size, had a satisfying bite and used an icing glaze, but not overwhelmingly sweet. My favorite was another bismark that had peanut butter cream inside, a chocolate dipped bottom that gave a crisp break (like on a frosted ice cream cone). The top had another soft layer of chocolate to hold the chopped peanuts on. Wow!The shop is a little hard to find for first timers. Although the address says it is on Central, the shop is located on the southwest corner of the building so it is easier to get to via Cottage Avenue or 14th St. There is plenty of free parking.Inside, there is a large dining area and nice, clean restrooms. The order counter and display is on your right. Tucked away in a corner by the counter is the coffee station. I don't think they offer as many drink options as a coffee house, but it is nice that they at least have the basics covered since coffee is such a great way to clear the accumulating sweet taste you get from eating more than one donut.Good service, nice selection, and once you find it, a nice shop to go to.Review #3534"

"Frank's is your classic donut shop where you can get perfect nostalgic donuts. This is a family affair with the owner, operator, and head baker being Frank's mother. Other members of the family work at the business as well. The service here was quick and friendly. The prices are affordable and they always have fresh donut shop coffee brewing. They have all of the classic donuts - glazed, cake, apple fritters, chocolate/maple frosted, and many more. They even have pastries to choose from. I think one of the great things about Frank's is that they have a drive through!"

"We LOVE donuts and the home grown authentic bakeries. St Matthews location quite impressive!! Our first visit got us 6 outstanding choices, filled to the brim and delicious!!! Since then, we've made several visits to the Fern Creek location. Our dinner dates have brought us there. Impressive......not so much!! Three different choices, nine donuts. They were hardly ok. We Always get filled. So where is it. See my strawberry cream filled!! Please take time to retrain employees there. He said, donuts blow up on him. What does that mean??? A good attitude, just needs a little supervised help to get to your high standards. I'm not messing around at $2.50 a donut. Kings will be my choice, once again. On the flip side, thanks for working with Door Dash. And a current discount with them. I will give the Hurstbourne one try before I give up. Please FILL those filled donuts."

"This place closes at noon, so if you have free time during the day, be sure to stop here first before heading off to run your other errands. My wife and I made it just before closing and we were really glad we did!The place has a kind of drab exterior, so unless you are really looking for it, it's easy to drive right by. Fortunately, we found it and pulled into their private lot. Inside, there is an order counter to the left and lots of seating to the right. We were greeted and though the inventory had been reduced, there were still plenty of donuts to choose from.My wife got a cherry turnover which she said was light and flaky on the outside, with cherries throughout the folded pastry. I ordered a Butterfly Roll that is a chocolate iced bismark made with layers covered with cocoa so that I got chocolate flavor in every bite. Really good!The cinnamon roll we split was fine. Unlike other places that smother them in icing, this was a smaller and thinner roll with a glaze. Nice flavor balance, but not what many expect who go to mass produced bakeries.The gal behind the counter was friendly and answered all our questions about the different donuts available.If you like donuts, this is worth checking out.Just wish I had tried the coffee.Review #3644"

Adrienne & Co Donut And Desserts

★★★★★ 4.6 (33) • $

"Adrienne makes delicious cakes, donuts, cupcakes, and other desserts. I've enjoyed the Jeffersonville and New Albany locations for years, but had never made it inside this location in the Knobs until yesterday. This location makes the goodies for the other cafés that serve food as well as desserts. This one only has the sweet stuff. They have great hours and are open 24 hours from Wednesday to the end of the week. I came in the afternoon and they still had a nice selection of donuts left. I think this is due to the quantity made here. The donuts are great! I got a dozen for work the next day since I leave my house before 5am, and am often in no mood to stop that early. The donuts held up great until the next day and my co-workers had no complaints.Inside, it was clean. The service was friendly and efficient. The prices are good. They are conveniently located next to Billy Joe's Gas and Food Mart on US-150. I'm sure I'll return here."

All the donuts I had were so delicious. Their original glazed donuts were amazing. Definitely super light and fluffy. I tried a breakfast sandwich and that was really good too.I had a strawberry smoothie. It didn't seem like it was made with real fruit. Maybe a strawberry syrup? Either way it was nice and refreshing."

"Inside the food court is this small counter with a nice assortment of donuts. Their glaze is sweet, their chocolate frosting is chocolaty, and their bismarcks are long and filled. The fritters are dense with apples, too. Not sure what else to say here, but I got all the donuts I paid for -- it was a simple transaction and the women who worked the counter were helpful, fast and friendly. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty pastry."

"My favorite bakery ever! I grew up in this town and worked here when I was in high school. I was excited to visit and to take my kids here. Everything smells the same and tastes the same. The tea cookies are my absolute favorite and the Tuna salad sandwich was exactly as I remembered it. Oh and the butter bread still tastes like all sliced bread should taste. I had to get my caramel sundae cupcake and it was delicious as always. My kids of course loved it and they even got to try the best doughnuts. I can't wait to visit next time I am in town again."

Golden Gate Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (16)

"This place is an amazing find. I ALWAYS want west coast style donuts. They're bigger and they're better. That's how they do it in Cali and THESE DONUTS ARE IT! I'M TELLIN' YOU! If you haven't been to Golden Gate Donuts yet, GET YOUR BUTT DOWN THERE! It's located off of Smyrna in a small shopping center with plenty of parking. What's nice and convenient is that the Gene Snyder is right there too, just in case you've gotta hop on the freeway to get to work. They open up at 5:30 and are currently not open on Mondays. I came this morning (a Tuesday around 6:30) and they still had a great selection, but foot traffic was consistent. I came in and took a second to glance at the menu- not complicated. It's a donut shop. I ordered an assorted dozen. They come in a surprisingly small box despite how huge the donuts are- but don't worry. They all fit perfectly. I went ahead and got (almost) one of everything they had). They had cake donuts, regular glazed donuts, chocolate glazed, sprinkles, crullers, twists, filled donuts, and donut holes! They also have larger, individually priced donuts in the case on the left hand side. They have cinnamon rolls in there as big as your head- chocolate and regular, HUUUGE bear claws (filled with either cherry or apple), and giant fritters (apple or cherry). They are super cheap, too! I think I paid like $1.50 a piece for the larger donuts. What I also thought was really cool was that the 'filled' donuts weren't actually filled yet and you could choose what you wanted inside. They had at least four different fillings and I didn't see all of them but I did see strawberry and Boston creme. They've also got a case of beverages, as many donut places do! I will DEFINITELY be back. I'd have to say my favorite thing was the chocolate glazed twist. It was soft and the chocolate was rich. I gotta be careful so I don't end up becoming a regular LOL. Thanks for an awesome first visit, Golden Gate! You made me feel right at home!"

"I got 4 donuts. After talking to the person that works there, I got the following 4 types of donuts.1. Regular chocolate glazed donut with peanut butter2. Blueberry donut3. Caramel covered donut.4. Fruity pebbles covered donut.Blueberry flavored donut was my favorite. Followed by Regular chocolate glazed donut with peanut butter. There is peanut butter in it, so it should be somewhat healthier, right?Next favorite is the Caramel one. Fruity pebbles one is my least favorite. I would definitely go back to try more of their kinds."

"If you're looking for a fun and festive way to celebrate Halloween, Dunkin' Donuts has absolutely nailed it with their Halloween bucket filled with donut holes! I visit Dunkin' about once or twice a week, and this seasonal treat has added an extra layer of joy to my regular visits.First off, the presentation is just too cute! The bucket itself is an adorable, Halloween-themed container that adds a playful, spooky vibe to your snack. Perfect for sharing with family, friends, or even treating yourself to some bite-sized goodness.Now, let's talk about the donut holes. They are just the right amount of sweet, soft, and delicious! Dunkin' delivers on variety too--whether you're a fan of classic glazed or prefer something more indulgent like the chocolate or powdered ones, there's something for every donut lover in this bucket.One fun idea I thought of while enjoying this treat is how cool it would be to see a seasonal tree ornament filled with donut holes! Imagine a cute, clear ornament you can hang up or gift, with Dunkin's delicious donut holes inside--a festive twist for Halloween and beyond.While I absolutely love this concept, one tiny suggestion would be to add more themed decorations or limited-edition flavors to match the Halloween vibe even more. How fun would it be to see pumpkin spice or spooky-shaped donut holes in the mix?Overall, Dunkin' continues to bring joy to my weekly visits, and this Halloween bucket was no exception. It's the perfect treat for anyone who wants to add a little fun to their day, and it's sure to be a hit for Halloween parties or a simple snack on the go. Dunkin', you've done it again--delicious, creative, and just plain fun!"

"I live nearby, so I decided to take a walk to this location. Upon arrival, I walk up to the counter and at not time was I greeted by the several members of staff were just standing around. They actually walked away from the counter. Two posed as if they were cleaning, but never said a word. I finally asked was everyone going to clean or is someone going to take my order. The only young lady that was working was asked to stop what she was doing and take my order. Once she took my order, the rest of the staff came back to the counter to make the order. My first and last time going here. I'm not a fan of DD, but figured I'd give this one a try. It was that day I was reminded as to why Starbucks is always the better choice...customer service, quality, and presentation. A little advice: do better, train your staff on customer service, and how to treat all customers fairly!"
