Pettit's Pastry

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqA07CWHrn0On our "doughnut trail" excursion, we stumbled across these folks. Long way for a cream stick, but what the heck. Good reason to throw a leg over the R1.

This place is the bomb - Pettit's has been at this location since 1954. So, they must be doing something right. The apple fritters are most popular, but I love their jelly-filled long johns with vanilla icing and their chocolate glazed donuts. It's hard to go wrong here, though. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Petit's is a well-known Omaha donut shop. It's a lot of fun to go into the small location and pick out what you want and leave within just a few minutes. Unfortunately, the donuts are only ok. They are not super fresh and rumor is they are made off-site and brought in. I would compare the quality to a grocery store or better-than-average convenience store donut.

This bakery reminds me of the local bakery in my local childhood hometown. The donuts are fresh and made daily. I have went two Friday or Saturday mornings, and brought a dozen for friends and coworkers. I love this gem and I'm so glad I found it through searching on Yelp!

An Omaha institution for nearly 70 years Pettit's makes old fashion donuts right on the premises. Offstreet parking makes it easy to jump out grab some donuts without having to pay a meter and head on out!A small simple lobby with a large selection, that includes donuts, cookies, breakfast pastries, cakes, and even kolaches if you ask for the secret stash! The hairnet ladies are always pleasant and make it easy when you can't decide for yourself. Nothing fancy just a good indulgence! A great stop when you're on the way to the office to treat the rest of the gang or to bring something home for the family.

No clue how long Pettit's Pastry has been around in Omaha, but found this nice little slice of heaven on our travels. This is what a donut should be. Walking into the shop the smell of the place just brings me a little bit of happy. The donuts were fresh and the frosting just added to their donuts. I take these donuts over Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts any day of the week.

Was looking for a couple dozens of cupcakes for my son's birthday at school. Initially ask for a quote from local home bakery that I also found in Yelp, but since I didn't get any response (I sent the request on a weekend) until Monday; and I'm getting a lot worried that I won't be able to get my order in on time, I decided to stop by at this bakery when I was in the area.The lady that helped me was very helpful and not sure if she gave me the wrong price or not but she gave a reasonable price for my order. She's also very accommodating when later down the week I changed the schedule for pick up.My order is ready for pick up when I get there and it turned out great. I also bought a few doughnuts and sugar cookies from them and their prices are pretty good considering the inflation that we have recently.

Best donuts in town, 2 locations. No question about that distinction. Donuts, Cakes, rolls, cupcakes are all top notch. Apple fritter, yum. We've been coming here for years and never disappointed. The lines start early on Saturday morning. The staff is very helpful and always helpful. Get a dozen donuts and Order a birthday cake today!

Last night there was a huge storm in the area that knocked out the power. There are practically no businesses open in the area, but this morning I saw Pettit's advertising that they are open. A coworker and myself went in and unfortunately they do not have power but they did get their order of fresh donuts from the bakery downtown. I only brought our company's credit card thinking they had power, and we were still able to get 2 dozen donuts for the office! I will be going back later to give her the cash, but I just wanted to give them a shout out for being so helpful and coming together in times of need. The service here is amazing :) I wish I could remember the name of the woman working!

We will definitely be back. Selection and variety, as well as quality of the baked goods were excellent. Not a place where you could sit and have coffee and a doughnut although they do sell coffee. Just no seating inside.
