Wow these doughnuts are to die for! Omg they are so dense, fresh and full of flavor. I didn't know what the hype was about but now I do...wished I would have brought some home to share. Service was quick, staff were friendly and helpful with making decisions of which 2 I wanted to try. Bakery small kinda like a crumble cookies up..doughnuts are on display just 1 though and you make the choice! read more

I want to love them all... BUT I can say the Purist and Vanilla Cream were so good. The donuts are a mix between a cronut and a donut but kinda ride somewhere in between. They don't have the flake of a croissant or the light airy vibe of a yeast donut. I also tried the Strawberry Fields, Milk Chocolate, Blueberry Lemon and the Chocolate Sea Salt. The Blueberry Lemon was good the first day, but it seemed that the donuts don't hold up beyond fresh. I feel that may have changed my opinion on some of the other flavors. However, the vanilla crème was good the next day. I conclude they are not my favorite and I would probably stop in for something special to get the Purist or the Vanilla Crème. It was definitely an experience. I'm glad I tried them. However, I think I'm super spoiled by my pastry shoppes in the city and my favorite Amish bakers on the Shore. The shoppe was cute and the service was fine. No complaints. It's nice to know they have an ingredient list to check, I appreciated that. I'd say give them a try because I definitely think it's a preference because the locals raved. read more

I finally see what the fuss is about at Five Daughters Bakery. The staff is warm and super friendly, which sets the tone as soon as soon as you walk in. The space itself is small and cozy, a bit of a tight fit during busy hours, but it has charm. The donuts are excellent. Rich, cakey, and far better than the average bakery case. I fully understand why this place is all over TikTok and Instagram, and I'll also note they are phenomenal after a night out. Consider that a tested recommendation. read more

Welp I'm a donut guy now cause I'm hooked on the 100 layer donuts. Think croissant but less butter more cream filled! The donut was light and flakey and the center cream was not overly sweet and very luxurious. We got the King Kong and it had a maple frosting and bacon!!! The overall combo is absolutely addictive!! The execution of this bakery is spot on! I can't wait for another one! read more

Five Daughters has several locations around the city and they are known for their '100-layered' donuts. Naturally, the comparison is going to be similar to a 'cronut'. We stopped by this location after our brunch and I liked the cute and clean aesthetic of the brand and storefront. The cashier was helpful and kind to explain what the most popular donuts were etc. The Purist (Vanilla Glaze) is their classic and most popular donut. The flavor was nice but what I was really intrigued on was the aforementioned '100-layer'. After taking a bite, I didn't really get any unique texture. I have had cronuts before, and something that makes the layers standout, is if the texture is more prominent. Because these donuts were soft, you don't get to appreciate each layer. In contrast to when I've had cronuts with a 'crust/crispy' texture, that is when you really can feel and taste the different layers. The Maple Glaze flavor I enjoyed a bit more but overall it still had the same 'layer-texture' as the other. read more

I've had this place bookmarked on yelp for at least five years. And I'm not sure if this is the same location that they were that they used to be in I can't remember. But my daughter and I were staying in a hotel in Nashville, driving across country and it was kind of later in the evening and we decided that we needed to get some cookies or donuts or something for in the morning and for on the road because we had about 800 miles to cover the next day. So I checked yelp saw this and decided to give it a try. I'm glad there was parking in the back that was a plus for us because we were driving a car that I was unfamiliar with in parallel parking. It was going to be a challenge. Once we entered in Immediately helped as we were the only customers we got some pastries and left easy Peezy. We decided to have one treat that night and save the rest for the next day. read more

Had the vanilla creme which is the most popular flavor and a chocolate sprinkle. I enjoyed the vanilla creme for the most part but it could have used a more authentic vanilla flavor either way vanilla beans. Service wise, the attendant had an interesting approach. This was my first time there, no other customers in the store, didn't really help or try to explain any of the flavors. Another woman came in, she didn't even ask any questions and he was going through all the flavors explaining. Since my husband who was sick was promised a donut, I didn't walk out and just got 2 donuts, but wouldn't go back read more

Cute little donut shop with some of these best donuts you'll ever have in your life. No matter what you get you won't be disappointed!

Omg, I am still craving these donuts a week later and wish we had a location in Atlanta. These are probably the best donuts I've ever had. I started with a few mini ones and I liked them so much I came back and ordered the large size. They have croissant-type layering so that they are nice and flaky. Everything was moist and delicious! The purist, & gingerbread latte were my favorite! My husband liked the one with bacon and was delighted to see it was cream-filled (King Kong?). The spiced honey cheesecake was a little too sweet because it had so much icing, but it was delicious. Service was excellent, and I loved the decor inside the place as well as the donut paintings on the outside. If I lived close by I would be here weekly read more

Excellent service and delicious 100 layer cronuts. The decorations both inside and outside of this bakery are cute. Everything is donut themed. The person working at the counter asked if it was my first time at Five Daughters Bakery and had some recommendations for what is popular. I liked that there were mini and full-sized donuts. My favorite flavor, which is a seasonal flavor, was the strawberry lemon. A very close second was the cinnamon cream cheese. I went back to get an additional mini of the cinnamon cream cheese. The orange glazed and sea salt chocolate glaze were also very good. Delicious and can't wait to come back! read more

Cute little bakery right off the 12 south strip. The place is small, but the line went quick and the options were hard to pick from. We ordered the lemon icebox, the cinnamon toast, strawberry shortcake, and the maple. The maple turned out to by my favorite. It had that sweet icing but also a maple center. It was fluffy and delicious. We went by the downtown location later that night and it looks like they sell out each day. It's a great little business with a great product. read more

This is my favorite place to pick up some sweets in Nashville. Their donuts are so unique and delicious with so many selections to choose from. They have their own parking lot which is convenient. Staff are always friendly and your donuts will come in their cute boxes. They also have few cute seating options outside. read more

DONUT MISS OUT on Five Daughters when in Nashville! We have a location in Atlanta now, but I had to stop by the original... especially on National Donut Day! Everyone inside was super friendly and they let us walk through with the pup on a tight leash. We decided to order the strawberry shortcake donut (with ALL the 100 layers) and the strawberry glazed yeast raised donut because we were just in a summery mood. Both were excellent - although I will probably stick to their Cronut style donuts next time! The yeast raised donuts were necessarily stand out/memorable but those layered donuts are life changing! read more

My best friend had been raving about this place and always talked about the donutcam, which I found both intriguing and hilarious. We finally had the chance to make a trip to Nashville together and made sure we dropped by to pick up some donuts. Five daughters specializes in donuts, particularly cronuts and my difficulty was trying to decide on flavors to try. I wanted to try them all but my stomach can only hold so many. I decided to go with a sessonal strawberry shortcake one and a classic vanilla cream. Both were very delicious, flakey, crispy, and creamy and neither were overly sweet. The shop itself is a little small so you order and take out but staff were extremely nice and helped describe some of their popular flavors. read more

The mini 100 layer donuts might be my new favorite thing! I've never had a cronut before but I love a good donut as well as pastures with flaky layers so this is the perfect sweet treat. The original size is also yummy, but the smaller ones allow you to try more flavors and share with friends! After enjoying the pillowy soft texture of their layered donuts, I really wanted to like the other pastries here. I opted for a quinn hoping it would be similar to a kouign amann with its countless buttery layers. I was sorely disappointed as the quinn was dry and dense at the same time. It felt more like a bread or biscuit instead of a flaky pastry. The bottom hadn't fully caramelized and it was falling off in sugary chunks and sticking to my hands and clothes. Next time I come for the donuts I'll try my luck with a savory pastry or cookie, they look amazing! read more

Hands down my favorite doughnut shop ever. Doughnuts are huge and full of flavor. Light and fluffy not dense like a cake doughnut. The ones with frosting are not super sweet. Perfectly balanced. Defiantly get a Vanilla Cream. Today we also got a Pumpkin Spice and it was amazing. Cute shop and always kind workers. Love this place! read more

Second time having this. First time, I didn't give the recognition this place deserves. This time I gotta say yeah this place is honestly awesome. The whole concept of this place and business are really based on the daughters of the owner. Which is very adorable. This whole vibe to this place was cute and fun. The doughnuts are simple. But still so good. A simple cronut with cream filling inside? What more do you want? Some donut places do too much with their donuts. But I like the fact that this place keeps their donut flavors simple but still made in a very unique way. Sometimes, simple is just better read more

During our trip to Nashville, we stopped into this place twice. The first time we just did the maple bacon and the pb&j which personally was not my favorite which is why I returned to give it another shot. We got the minis and we got 4 of the minis that were offered. I don't remember all the options so picture for reference. The Samoa was my favorite by far. This was on my bucket list to check out while I was in town and it exceeded my expectations. I definitely will be back during my next trip. read more

5 Daughters Bakery can single handedly make my day completely better without a doubt! At work, my coworkers and I tend to get a couple boxes and share it amongst one another by cutting it into pieces. That way everyone can get a piece of each type! The aesthetic of the box is minimal and sleek which I love. I honestly have no bad impressions nor anything bad to say. So, if you're ever craving some sweets, I promise you donuts but more specifically from Five Daughters Bakery is worth a shot! read more

I have tried donuts at plenty of places because i truly love them, but I must confess, the donuts at five daughter's bakery is like none that you've had before. The 100 layer donuts are light a little flaky and moderately sweet. The donut team is extremely sweet and friendly. Its also interesting how the owner started making donuts, and i am so happy to promote a female led business. The donut shop in gulch is quite pink and vibrant, i love how they display every sample of the donuts with labels. I have my eyes on the cookies too, i shall try them soon in the future. Meanwhile, its the best donut shop, you're truly missing out, if you haven't tried them, yet read more
