This bakery is unique beyond imagination. These are not your typical donuts. Somehow, they are made with 100 thin layers of dough, which gives them a light and fluffy texture and airiness. What's inside of them is even better, if you're blessed enough to try one of the icing-filled wonderful treats! Sweetened with coconut sugar, and infused with different flavors inside and out, some only on the outside, you will never forget your first taste of a Five Daughters donut. Visit their website to read about your endless choices of mouth-watering donut descriptions, and place your order at one of their many locations, one of which is bound to be close to you. And you can thank me later read more

Five Daughters is a cute spot for a pretty good donut. This location is takeout only, but the center area of The Factory has some tables and chairs. The shop is cutesy with pink walls and a little social media worthy photo op on one of the walls. Lines are hit or miss. I either walk by and nobody is there or it's a long line. I can't say service at this location has ever been noteworthy. It's more just moving people through the line. They offer mini and regular sized donuts. I love, love, love that they offer mini donuts. I've never been a big fan of their donuts, but the winter donuts may have changed my mind. My favorites have been Sugar Cookie and Gingerbread Latte. I enjoyed the buttery, flaky layers. I also grabbed an iced sugar cookie and that was delicious. For drinks they offer coffees and a case with sparkling waters, juice, and canned coffee. Five Daughters is worth a try if you find yourself near a location. read more

Absolutely not worth the trip I mean it wasn't horrible, but I can get donuts just as good at my local place. Here they do have cronuts (a cross between a croissant and a doughnut) and they were fine, but kinda a gimmick for me. Give me a really good french croissant over the hybrid everyday. read more

I go often to get donuts from this company in Nashville and it's always a hit. The ones from the factory were stale, barely risen and dry. About the same quality you'd get from Walmart boxed donuts. My recommendation is do not get donuts from this specific store. read more

We were in Nashville for a long weekend and needed a mid-morning pick-me-up. Five Daughters Bakery was recommended and it was delicious! They are pricey, but very good. I had the Sea Salt Chocolate, YUM! Not too salty and just the right amount of chocolate. Had coffee to go with the doughnut and it was cooler then I prefer, but still tasty. My friend, who had been there before, had the Purist with coffee and she enjoyed hers also. I would go back but not too often because of the prices. read more

We came because we've heard so much good things about this online, but it's a must to go to in Tennessee. They came to the factory and we're super excited that we saw this. The kids got a mini donut, chocolate chip cookie, and a snowball cookie everything was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend. read more

Have been wanting to try one of their Paleo donuts since they're gluten-free. I got the salted caramel apple flavor and it was a nice treat with coffee. It's cake style. I prefer a yeasted gf donut, but this was good for Paleo. Service was quick & friendly and the shop is cute. read more

Amazing!! I snuck away this morning and treated myself to one of the best Donuts you will ever taste! This location is located in the Factory in Franklin. This is a local donut shop that started in Franklin. The flavors are amazing! Their donuts are like eating a cross between a donut and a croissant. What is crazy the donuts have 100 layers. Once you are there pick your pleasure! I got a Cinnamon Roll, Chocolate Sea Salt, Boston Cream and The Purist! ALL ARE AMAZING! If you ask them they will heat them up for you. Hint, heat them up, it takes them to a new level of Yummy! I'm a local so I take mine home and heat them up in the microwave. When you heat them up they ooze with Goodness! If you are visiting Franklin don't pass up this place! If you are a local what the heck are you waiting for! read more

Absolutely adorable! The ladies working there were so sweet to us. The Vanilla Latte was just the right amount of sweet and the espresso was lovely. We ordered The Purist which was so rich but light at the same time. The set up of the Factory was a nice way to enjoy the bakery as it allowed us to enjoy our treats as we shopped the fabulous shops! read more

so so delicious ! Cute vibe/aesthetic, but the donuts are FIRE! Service was great, a staple for me anytime i visit Nashville ! read more

We were underwhelmed. I had the Maple Glaze and my wife had the Quinn. We also tried the Snowcap cookie. Her Quinn was a bit dry; she rated it a 3. The Maple Glaze was rich; the frosting was sweet and abundant and this somewhat overpowering. The breaded part of the pastry was somewhat dry. The Snowcap cookie was either over baked or just dried it. It was so crispy that I didn't eat more than two bites. It was also lacking flavor. At this price point, I expect a great product, and this was far from that. It felt comparable to what you would get in a grocery store for about half the price. read more

The Factory at Franklin is a really neat venue to visit. Lots of different food options as well as gift and clothing vendors. But one place you need to stop in at for a sweet treat is Five Daughters Bakery. Their prices are a bit high but I think the quality and uniqueness of their items are worth the splurge. Service has always been friendly and efficient. The store front (which has moved from their original location) is pretty and a bit easier to maneuver through for ordering. There is no in store seating but there is plenty of seating in the food court. read more

Super popular spot! The decor and vibe is cute and the service isn't bad! I wish the donuts were a bit warm because they have always been cold when I've gotten them. Overall the flavors are good but haven't blown me away! I'd love to see them express the flavors more so in the donuts rather than in the frosting because the frosting is super sweet so I tend to take a bit of it off but then don't get the flavor profile I should. read more

Five Daughters Bakery - superbowl themed - Yeast Raised - Boston Cream (Filled) - Bakeries Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Maple Glaze Doughnut: Five Daughters Bakery is a family business in Franklin, Tennessee. The bakery is owned and operated by the Meek Family, which includes their five daughters. Their signature item is known as the 100 Layer Donut, which is a hybrid of a croissant and a donut (basically their version of a Cronut). 100 Layer Donuts take up to three days to make and once cooked, they're rolled in sugar, filled with cream, and topped with a heavenly glaze. Seven staple flavors are offered year-round along with limited time flavors that change from month to month. Unfortunately, I could not visit the bakery myself, but my parents were nice enough to bring me some doughnuts after visiting my brother in Nashville. The Maple Glaze Doughnut is rolled in sugar, infused with vanilla buttercream, and topped with maple glaze dusted with cinnamon. Taking my first bite I was immediately impressed by the thickness of the doughnut and how sweet the maple glaze was. Texturally, the outside of the doughnut is crisp and sweet while the interior is chewier. After my second bite, I encountered plenty of vanilla buttercream lurking inside the pastry. I'm a tough customer when it comes to doughnuts that are supposed to be "packed" with filling and are not (Stan's), but it's safe to say Five Daughters Bakery knows what they're doing. The vanilla butter cream is a little difficult to see in pictures because of the light color, but trust me, there's plenty of it. Their buttercream frosting was incredibly rich and reminded me almost of butter. It does balance out nicely with the super sweet maple flavor though. Doughboy approved. *Also, great customer service. I emailed them a question about nutritional information and not only did they provide me with it, but they also replied the same day (Thanks Ronnie Meek!). Unlike other businesses that sometimes take weeks to respond (The Cheesecake Factory). Doughboy_Food_Reviews read more

GF review only. I came for the gluten free donuts...but they were not like a donut at all, It was a very moist cake.

Loving the new 5DB space in The Factory, very bright and open. Service is consistently good. Those behind the counter are welcoming and not pushy despite usually having a line. I went in specifically for the orange quinamon roll and carrot cake 5 layer donut. Both were delicious and I really enjoyed the cream cheese frosting and light carrot flavor of the donut. Hope the quinamon rolls stick around. read more

Enjoyed a cream cheese cinnamon roll as a snack while shopping at the Factory. It was honestly the best part of my day! Split into 1/3s and it was still plenty for 3 people to get a little pick-me-up. I had it warmed. The roll was not too sweet and really yeasty and delicious and the cream cheese frosting was soo yummy, although it did get a little melty when it was warmed. read more

Oh my goodness!! How many ways do you say YUMMY? I was visiting Franklin TN for a wedding. My job was to help put the brides flowers together. I thought what a treat to take doughnuts. So I researched bakeries and found Five Daughters Bakery. I went there and at first I was oh boy I'm not gonna find it cuz it was located in a factory being renovated but eventually I found it. The atmosphere was darling. The employees were all so helpful describing things. Thank goodness cuz at first I was a little overwhelmed. Needless to say the doughnuts were the biggest hit!! Definitely recommend to everyone read more

How can you not like this place!? Once you get past the initial sticker shock when you see the prices, you get reeled in by the magical selections. The service is usually good, albeit many of them appear pretty tuckered out...probably from the early morning hours. The ambience is upscale diner-ish, and they have certainly paid attention to all the minutia when it comes to aesthetics. The only minus in the hole equation (get it...donut hole), is the coffee. Not that it's bad, but it's not great either. We'll be back! read more

If you've had Dominique Ansel's cronut, you'll probably be disappointed with the 100 layer donut. I will say it's nice they have more than one (monthly) flavor and don't run out daily! However, the donut itself we found dense, a tad soggy, and the cream inside was very unevenly distributed. We had heard rave reviews of the King Kong (ok), so we got that along with the blueberry lavender (better). Also got a cup of coffee which was lukewarm :( The ladies helping us were very nice and told us the donuts are baked the night before and can last another 24 hours at "pantry temp". Don't refrigerate! read more

Cute spot. They have a nice selection to choose from. I ordered the lemon blueberry cookie. Super soft yet crunchy. I wanted to grab another one but I didn't need all of that sugar. Cute spot to take pictures inside. I was able to get in and out. But right after me, there was a line. They stayed busy. Keep up the good work. My cookie didn't stand a chance for a photo. read more

Oooofff we tried this location a couple times within the past month and not sure if it's just this location or what but the donut game is off...either some doughnuts are just way tooo sweet or too salty and not as fresh, they kind of have a little sour taste. Nothing taste as good as the gulch location. We usually do not finish the donuts and it's such a waste considering they're over $5 a piece. On the other hand the cookies are amazing! Their London Fog cookie is one of the best cookies I've had there, wish it wasn't a seasonal cookie! I'll have to remind myself just to get cookies here and not the donuts. First time I was here, the girls were wonderful, second time, they were ehh. I don't think they're not trained well for a Saturday crowd. read more

Located inside The Factory, it's right in the central area. We got the orange quinnamon. It's essentially their normal 100 layer dough but twisted into a popover type shape and with an orange filling and sugar glaze. A couple issues... The dough was pretty much uncooked in the middle. No nice flaky layers, just dense uncooked dough with no layers. Only the outside layer and the top was cooked. The orange flavor also was almost non-existent. They did have some small pieces of orange zest where you could taste the orange when you had a bit but otherwise no flavor outside of sugar. It would have been nice if the glaze was at least orange flavored. Especially for the price at almost $5, this was really underwhelming. read more

Coming from a foodie paradise like Houston, it isn't too often that I get jealous of a place and wish I lived there instead. Five Daughters is one of those places - I wish I lived nearby, or better yet, please open a location in Houston! This place is a feast for the senses - the bright interior, the case full of different doughnuts and pastries, the friendly staff, the intoxicating sweet smell...it has it all. I will admit that I went a bit overboard and bought way more than I could eat in a sitting, but I was like a kid in a candy store, er donut store. I had their Purist (vanilla glazed), Triple Raspberry, Huckleberry, and Chocolate Sprinkle 100-layer donuts/mini donuts, the Quinn, a sugar cookie, and a Purist latte. Woof! Like I said, it was an embarrassing amount to order for one but no regrets, the leftovers made great snacks later. Everything I ordered was exceptional - as one might expect, the Purist was the favorite due to its simplicity - how can you improve upon perfect? The staff was so friendly and patient as I took forever making up my mind about what to order. Thanks for one of the best breakfasts I've ever had! read more
