Went on a whim - quite literally just saw a sign that said "bakery" from across the street and drove over - and am so glad I did. Absolutely fantastic donuts and baked goods. Plenty of variety with something for everybody, and all solid quality. The interior had a good amount of seating available, and gave the classic old school bakery vibe. The staff was incredibly friendly and pricing was absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend wand will likely be returning regularly. read more

A wonderful old-fashioned bakery that is a Lexington staple! Most known for their donuts, they are as good as they come! I've tried so many over the years and can say I've never had a bad donut here! I recently went in to order donuts for a gender reveal and the baker was able to fill a couple donuts with colored cream to indicate baby's gender- which was so fun and delicious! I also ordered petit fours and cookies for my sisters baby shower and they came out beautifully. I would definitely order again! read more

Really good donuts for a really good price! I picked up a dozen donuts through the drive thru and I think the total was around $13 or so. Every flavor I've had so far has been really good but I really love the maple frosted cake donuts. read more

I went to Donut Days to buy my co-workers an after-Thanksgiving treat. I am not a pastry connoisseur. There is no menu available, so I apologized when the woman came to the window. I had to ask her (very friendly looking older lady) about item names and 3 specific requests. The first were apple fritters and the second was a jelly-filled (rasberry?) donut with a white-icing on top. The third was chocolate-icing with creme-filled donut. She nodded with apple fritter request. To the 2nd request, she replied, "I only have jelly-filled glazed." And, to the third request, she said, "Long-Johns?" I answered, "Yeah, that sounds right!" I asked her for a dozen of the glazed jelly-filled, 6 of the apple fritters, and 6 of the long-johns. The order came to a little over $42.00. Everyone was surprised that I actually picked up something other than biscuits! Unfortunately, the main request was the apple fritters. There were 4 people that requested them specifically. One person had asked for the chocolate creme-filled. One of my co-workers bit into her apple-fritter and said "Ow!" I won't go into the whole exchange, but it turns out that the pastry was extremely hard and burned. I asked 2 others that got the fritters and they said that theirs were burnt as well and not very good. Like I said at the beginning, I'm not a pastry connoisseur. However, I do know my trade and if I were a baker or a bakery employee, I would have easily seen the burnt edges and bottom of the pastry that indicated they were over cooked. Greatly disappointed and will not go there again. read more

Stopped at Donut Days for, what else, donuts, and I needed bread. There was a single loaf of salt rise bread, so I purchased that, a jelly donut and two glazed. The aroma in my car tempted me, but I resisted until I reached home. Growing up, jelly donuts were one of my faves. This one was pillowy and filled with a tart jelly, which I liked, but that New York jelly donut of my youth still has no comparison. The glazed donuts are for tomorrow. There's a counter for indoor eating and a drive thru for your covenience. I give it an OK. 61 read more

I stopped in a few moments before closing on a Sunday. The woman was sooooooo sweet - she gave me extra of EVERYTHING but was such a NINJA about it, I didn't notice until I got home. I ordered a peanut butter cookie and a double chocolate donut. She gave me 2 donuts, 3 cookies and an Apple fritter. Such a generous offering. I am thankful! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday for a quick doughnut. They have a great selection and also do a great bakery cake (which I have ordered in the past). The soda machine didn't seem to be working well that day, but a cream-filled long John satisfied my doughnut craving perfectly. read more

Donut Days will make you never think about getting Krispy Kreme ever again. There's just something special about handmade donuts that really wins you over. The bakery whips up a generous variety you'll find yourself with a different order each time you visit plus they also do cookies, cakes and bread! You must try a custard filled Long John it is stuffed to the brim unlike some where your first bite is just bread no need to worry here, also the blueberry cake donut is amazing like a blueberry muffin but with that donuty glaze making for an even sweeter treat, and lastly the strawberry frosted donut comes in first place it's so overwhelming flavorful and I tasted no artificial flavors it was truly to die for! No one likes a dry donut but this bakery they guarantee you freshness every single time. In conclusion just about any kind of donut you decide to go with it'll definitely be worth your dollar and I didn't mention this but the people are some of the nicest on the planet they treat you well I'd go as far as to say they're as sweet as the donuts. I make a trip just about weekly in response to how good service there is and the quality being phenomenal I hope you to will. Local business' took a huge hit from covid and it is our duty to support the ones we love after all. read more

I visited the Donut Days Bakery drive-thru with my cousin during a Lexington visit. We had driven through and gotten coffee elsewhere, and we wanted a sweet breakfast treat, so we opted for this spot. It's kind of no frills, with a simple drive-thru and no real menu to check out. We asked for options and they handed us a paper menu to look at in our car. They have the usual bakery options, with lots of doughnut flavors, but the thing that really got me was the prices. Everything is SO cheap. Doughnuts are around a dollar. Unbelievable! We opted for a few different flavors. While these doughnuts are no frills compared to those you'd get from a specialty spot where you choose your glaze/icing and then add on ridiculous amounts of unique toppings, they are simply delicious! So, if you're looking for some simple delicious doughnuts on the cheap, Donut Days is the spot to check out! read more

Bought a small birthday cake, which was adorably and simply decorated and a few donuts. The cake was moist, lucious, and the icing was very good . . . a total hit. The donuts (creme filled) were very nice also. I'm very happy to find a really nice bakery on our end of town. read more

In Lexington for a day and was lucky to be staying in a hotel next door to what is clearly an old school local institution. Nothing pretentious or fancy - in the best way. The service was SUPER friendly and she threw in some extra for me at the end of the day. I tried the caramel cake donut and ginger molasses cookie. Both were top notch. Texture of the donut was spot on! read more

This is the worst donut I've ever had. It's stale and full of air. I could've gotten a better donut at a gas station. It doesn't even look appealing outside but I gave them the benefit of the doubt for being a bakery. I think these donuts could honestly be over a day old. Will not return. read more

Got there early one morning, just after they opened. You'd think at that hour, there would be hot and fresh doughnuts right out of the fryers. Not this time. The doughnuts were almost stale. I'll give it another try some time, but I was disappointed with my first visit. read more

Got these donuts for our Keenland tailgate and they were so delicious! I'm so glad I discovered it. We'll definitely be back on future Lexington visits. The cream donut was the best I've ever had! read more

I love Donut Days. It's a Lexington classic. The first time I actually went, I was told to get the caramel. "I would eat it on a boot," the cashier said. And she wasn't lying. They're a mom and pop kind of shop. None of that trendy stuff, and that is reflected in their prices. read more

Very good yeast and lemon filled donuts. Busy place that has been here 40 plus years. Small parking lot. Clean inside. Fast service. If you like yeast donuts these are very good. Close to where we stayed and glad we came here. Not as soft as Krispy Kreme but very tasty. Worth a stop. read more

Love! One of the best bakeries in Lexington, especially if you're looking for old fashioned flavors. They have the kindest staff who are so good to my 3-yo. Their chocolate iced donuts are his favorite! He will specifically ask for donuts from here and typically refuses them from anywhere else. They have excellent cookies, cakes, pretty much everything is delicious! read more

I LOVE this place. I grew up on Donut Days donuts and in my opinion they are the best in town. Their donuts are so light and airy (can easily eat a dozen by myself). I'm a traditionalist and love their Glazed and Chocolate Glazed, but you really can't go wrong with any of their options. Fully local and great staff! 10/10 would definitely recommend! read more

After having such a good experience at the Donut Days on Euclid, I wanted to give this place another try. The first time I had Donut Days, it was just ok and nothing special, so I wrote it off. Sadly, my return trip here didn't enhance my idea of Donut Days. The service there is nice and it's a diner kind of motif, with all the donuts in the back and in a case to choose from, so I got my haul and got home to try them out. The donuts were ok. One of the weaker donuts was the pumpkin spice donut, which didn't have a very pumpkin flavor to it. The caramel glazed also didn't have a decent caramel taste to it. The custard filled and the cream filled donuts made up for them slightly, but there still wasn't anything special about them. In the future, I will stick with the Euclid location, but do hope the Southland Dr will work on their donuts a little harder. read more

Delicious donuts!! Those who helped us were so kind. Overall a happy experience and we'll definitely be back

Worst donuts Ive ever had. They were cold and hard- nothing fresh about them on a Sunday morning.

Definitely found an upgrade from the powdered yesterday. For Halloween, another department brought in doughnuts for the lab and the glazed with custard is amazing. I hate to write it but I thought it was better than Krispy Kreme's of the same kind. read more

Donut Days Donuts were brought in to our office, the donuts we good but for me it is a tough competition between Magee's donuts and Spalding's-both of which we have had here as well! They have two locations one on Southland and the other in Chevy Chase. I would go there again, but like I said it isn't my first choice. On the other hand, their cakes are amazing! cute festive cakes and you can customize for birthdays, etc. read more

I like the convenience of the drive thru window (especially because of COVID). Today they didn't post the menu, and as it was our first time visiting we had to go inside. They have a good variety of donuts and cookies to choose from. My son chose a yellow sprinkled star sugar cookie, which he loved. I ordered a variety of donuts. I wasn't too impressed with their apple fritter- little fry for my liking. The service was good. Will try again sometime soon. read more

Tried this place four times now, as it is close by. Their cake donuts are always dry and don't seem fresh. The soft yeast donuts are much better. Liked the custard filled. Not the best of Lexington's local donut shops but still better than Dunkin! read more

Seriously I fantasize about these donuts no matter the time. These donuts taste are seriously unlike any other that I have ever had before and I think these may actually conjured up my love for donuts. Super cheap, very cute diner feel and great service! read more

Loved that they had drive thru! The service was super friendly and the woman was very helpful. The donuts were really good too!! I got the chocolate long john and a glazed. Both fresh and good. read more

I was extremely excited to try their doughnuts this morning. My boyfriend arrived with them I got everything together for us - milk etc. and I take my first bite..... NOT a fan. They were cold and tasted stale! I am UPSET. I will not try them again. Price didn't match the taste read more

If there ever was a "dive" bakery, this would be it. Small, hole-in-the-wall, old fashioned little gem on Southland drive. A few old men that are always there chatting over coffee every time I go in. The donuts are nothing fancy, but are down to earth, all-American, gosh darn tasty little treats. The caramel donuts are definitely on top of my list. You gotta try them! However, the biggest reason that always brings me back here is the friendliness of the staff and the amazing attitude of the owner. Last time I went there I found out they don't take credit cards for small transactions which is totally fine because most places do that. What surprised me was that the lady behind the desk offered to let me pay the next time I came in (even though she had never met me before). This is a small gesture but it goes a long way towards displaying the trust the owner puts in his customers. When you're in here they really do treat you with respect. I wouldn't trade this for anything. read more

With cupcake shops springing up faster than pop-tarts from a toaster, there are many options to choose from. However, I frequently find myself less than happy with some of these gourmet concoctions. Some have so much much frosting that you could decorate a four layer cake with the excess. Then others have a frosting so thin that it slides off the sides as soon as it's removed from refrigeration. And don't get me started on the bland and dry cake part. That's why I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled into Donut Days looking for emergency cupcakes for a birthday party I had neglected to plan for. I was expecting to pay out the wazoo for 24 specialty cupcakes. Most places I called could not even fill my last minute request. I walked into Donut Days on a whim and was excited to see that they had plenty of their large cupcakes in the display. These were well decorated cakes with a perfect mound of piped frosting and sprinkles where appropriate. The flavors on that day included strawberry, carrot cake, vanilla, chocolate, and something with a caramel icing. Not only did these cupcakes look great, but they tasted amazing. Everyone at the party assumed that these had come from some fancy bakery. The best part is that the cupcakes didn't cost $3 or more like in most specialty shops. These large, tasty, treats only cost $1.25 each. The next time I need cupcakes I will definitely order them from Donut Days. read more

The cake turned out great. Super great price and willing to work with you to make the best cake for your budget. The bakery has been there for many years for a reason! So good! read more

I go there for one thing -- chocolate icing on their donuts....more like fudge, so chocolaty gooey and yummy. Word of caution -- they bag not box the 1/2 dozen orders. Yesterday my donuts were dropped into the bag icing down and all the wonderful sugary chocolate stuck to the bag. Still highly recommended tho-- :) read more

Love. This. Place. My hometown favorite, hands down. Try some of their seasonal donuts, as well as the normal selection. Blueberry, apple cider, stuff like that. My favorite, though, is a still-warm cinnamon cake. They melt in your mouth. And the coffee is solidly good. Side note: The cakes are awesome, too. The cake decorator does an excellent job making cakes to request. Side Side Note: They have rolls in the freezer that are really good for dinner. Especially the ones you put ham in to make little sandwiches. But you have to ask because they don't normally have them sitting out in the open. They only take about five minutes to warm up in the oven. read more

Excellent fresh donuts and quick easy drive through access. A real keeper.
