Best places: Donut shops in Kentucky

Corner bakeshop crafting made-to-order wedding cakes, donuts & other confections in snug confines.

Enduring, old-school spot for fried donuts plus classic baked goods like cream horns & sticky buns.

👍👍 I stopped in today for my first time.. I ordered a dozen but only got 11.. lol.. Very tasty though.. Staff was very friendly..

👍👍 We stopped here this morning on our way out of Louisville. The donuts were fresh. Some were still warm. The shop also sells breakfast sandwiches and has a large selection of drinks.

👍👍 We were traveling and I found this place on Google search. It is a true old-school doughnut shop with QUALITY product. Everything was fresh and tasted great. I only wish we had something like this where we are from. If you are looking for a good treat while in Bowling Green, GO HERE! It doesn't look...

Eclectic haunt with espresso drinks and an arty vibe known for its housemade specialty donuts.

👍👍 Gramps is THE SWEETEST! Couldn’t decide on a donut because they all look incredible 🤩 it’s rare to find a place that does more than one thing exceptionally well. Stop in for some coffee and a donut (or two!) you won’t regret it 🫶🏼

😠 I say this as someone who worked in a donut shop when I was younger… these are not good. My husband bought several types of donuts and they were all undercooked and tiny. Yeast donuts are not supposed to taste doughy, heavy and wet. They should be light fluffy and airy. Either they’re fry vat isn’t...

👍👍 A hidden gem off Brownsboro in the Clifton Heights area. Easily one of the top five donut shops in all of Louisville. The donuts are light and airy without being greasy. Lots of fun flavors and they add the filling right then and there when you order. Great donuts, great service. Highly recommend...

👍👍 There’s no other way to begin this review other than by saying that Golden Glaze is a local institution in Madisonville. They’ve been in business for decades and the exceptional quality of their flagship glazed donuts speaks for itself. They’ve only recently begun to have any local competition to sp...

👍👍 We lived in Louisville and had access to some of the finest German influenced bakeries in the midwest. Many retired from the business and closed through the years. We moved to Mercer Co and were ecstatic to find Kings' Donuts. This place is the match for any top of the line bakery anywhere. Top ma...

👍👍 These donuts were delicious. I loved the glazed, pb and jelly, and the blueberry filled donut. My husband loved the maple bacon.

👍👍 Hands down the best donuts in town. Fresh and warm, and every kind of donut that it’s hard to decide which ones I want. Super fast service and clean. I highly suggest you check this place out early in the morning.

Small local shop offering custom donuts with unique glazes & toppings, including fried chicken.

👍👍 I love Daily Donuts. They always have my favorite donuts all kinds of yummy hot sandwiches and iced coffees that are awesome!! They are open early and the sweetest people! My favorite Donut joint in the world!!!

👍👍 Y'all... this is the place. 👌🏻 It's our first time here and we ordered a dozen and a half of donuts, 2 croissant sandwiches, and a coffee. It only cost us $20.67!!!! The sandwiches are HUGE and the donuts are delicious. This place deserves 5 stars for the customer service, affordable prices,...

👍👍 We found this place by chance. The gas station we stopped at had nothing fresh in it for breakfast and I was wanting some pastries or doughnuts. We found that the Whistle Stop was 15 minutes away and on our way back home to Indiana. I am so glad we stopped in. Even if we did pull in the exit of t...
