Looking for Good Doughnuts in Kentucky

[wintersummer]

I'm looking for good doughnuts in Kentucky, around areas of Lexington, Harrodsburg, Richmond, Berea, Danville, and Bowling Green. I'm not interested in Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts, but local favorites or unique places. Any ideas?

If you're in Western Kentucky, Golden Glaze in Madisonville and Whistle Stop in Hopkinsville are both worth a detour.

Dough Daddy's - it's on US 60/Versailles Road - it's about 3-4 miles west of Bluegrass Airport and Keeneland heading towards Versailles- they make them all night and they are always fresh.

BOWLING GREEN:

Locals refer to it as GADS.

Also, Riley's Bakery @ 819 Us 31W Byp
They make best Cinnamon Roll Twists!!!

Stella Jane's just opened in Berea, KY, and it is actually pretty good. They have an interesting selection, yeast, cake, filled, frosted, powdered etc., and even though they are just serving your normal, basic doughnuts, they come out crispy and light. The people are very nice too!

They just opened in January, so there isn't a lot of buzz about them yet. They poured some money into paving the place to put in a drive thru, and it looks like they are going to have some tables and serve coffee once they get on their feet.

The Strawberry Cake and the Chocolate Dipped Chocolate Cake were particularly good.

Manchester Bakery
Richmond Rd.
Manchester, KY

*This place is run by Mennonites. The yeast donuts there just melt in your mouth and could easily rival Krispy Kreme. They also sell bread and other baked goods.

old thread, but had to say the manchester bakery is the best bakery I've ever been to. they make everything from scratch, in small batches, and the taste is incredible. the bear claws and apple fritters are to die for, and the cream-filled pumpkin roll is perfection. the cookies are great, the breads are tender and the homemade rolls are scrumptious.

I have friends and family who drive two hours out of their way just to visit this bakery.

For Lexington, Spalding's and Magee's Bakeries have the two best doughnuts you can get. Unfortunately, Spalding's is a pure bakery with no room for sitting and enjoying your doughnut, while Magee's does have a very nice dining area (if you can get a seat!).

Spaldings Bakery will put one of the finest donuts you ever had the pleasure of eating in front of you.It's in Lexington.

If you can make your way down to Somerset an equally good donut can be found at Amon's Sugar Shack
