    Great service. Great selection. GREAT prices. Even better donuts!! This is one of my husband and I's fav donut places in town. We got original glaze, donut holes, strawberry with sprinkles and the cake donut. They all were very good but the cake donut was probably my favorite!!

    Such nice people and great service! Donuts are so so good, especially for the price. Will be back!! Definitely recommend !!

    I had a haircut appointment nearby and decided to make a donut run. First time at this location, but not the first time for Frank's donuts. I purchased a jelly, a maple, and a long cinnamon twisty donut. A childhood favorite growing up, I always seek to find that taste again in jelly donuts. Frank's was good, with a just tart enough rasberry filling. The other two are in the freezer awaiting a donut kind of morning. 70

    The service is 5 stars!!! The lady working the counter was the nicest ever and some of the best customer service I've had. The shop is clean. The donuts are great! They had solid pricing and great choices.

    Honestly, I did not care for these donuts. They just weren't cakey enough to be cake donuts. I do prefer a yeast donut that melts in your mouth. So maybe I am not a good judge. Service was mediocre at best. Too pricey as well. Donuts are very particular for the person though.

    I've been on a Lexington Donut tour and visited Franks Donuts this weekend after hearing a lot of buzz about it. I tried the chocolate cream filled long john, chocolate twist, and blueberry cake donut. Being that chocolate filled long johns are one of my favorite donuts, this one unfortunately was not for me. I've never had a cream filled donut with the type of cream that they use, which is almost like a slightly thicker whipped cream. The chocolate twist was a pretty good basic donut but didn't blow me a way. However, the blueberry cake donut, which is probably my favorite kind, was so delicious. The sugary edges were so crispy, and the flavor was great. As for prices, Franks is probably on the less expensive side and seemed very reasonable.

    Friendly staff, everything is very fresh. Great prices in this economy. Restaurants is clean but you can tell they work hard on their product.

    I've had Spalding donuts before but I've never been inside their shop. It smells so good in there!…read more I stopped by around 8:30 this morning and there were 3 or 4 people in the store. I didn't wait for long and the woman at the register was friendly. The store itself feels like its frozen in time in a good way. The building has a lot of character. I got two cinnamon sugar, chocolate confetti and a plain glazed donut for a little over 5.00. I wanted to eat my donut as soon as I got in the car but had some self control..Now that I'm home I can't promise I'll still have that same self control! They also have cakes, cheesecake tarts, cupcakes, cookies, brownies.

    Every time I go to Spaldings it's like a roll of the dice. I keep going hoping that I will get the…read moreincredibly delicious glazed doughnut that I know they can make. I would rave about them and even take them to Louisville for my son and his wife to enjoy. But now, more often than not, I get exactly what I received this morning. Stale tasting, old glazed doughnuts. A whole box full (2dozen). I woke up extra early and dropped in this morning to get glazed doughnuts for my office. When I got to work and they opened the box..... Just sad. I should have looked in the box at the bakery but it wouldn't have really made a difference, I am not a person to make a scene or cause any kind of ruckus. I googled reviews to see if any one else has consistently experienced this, which led me to leave this review. I am just so very frustrated. Call the store...tell the staff... for what? As long as people line up and they sell out, what difference does it make for one complaint? Not to mention they're not very welcoming when you go in to purchase. Not mean at all, they just seem bothered. I know what a good doughnut they can make and to spend $30 for old doughnuts just makes me sad. Why do this to people trying to patronize your business? I'm afraid that I have taken my last trip to Spaldings doughnuts. No excuse for old, dry, cold doughnuts at 7AM. Dry, embarrassing and a complete waste of money.

    My friend and I stopped by for a mid day pick me up yesterday …read more When we walked in we were the only ones there which was a surprise to me. I ordered a iced latte and my friend got a regular coffee. Normally I would add sugar to my drink but yesterday I didn't because it didn't need it. I think that if you can make something as simple as drip coffee or pull a smooth espresso shot you're definitely doing something right. I haven't had a bad cold brew/espresso drink there yet. They really are consistent with the drinks. My friend also ordered a plain donut but ended up with the cronut which she's not crazy about. They did try to fix the situation and gave her a keto donut. It goes a little sideways for me I did try the Keto donut and it was a nope for me. The glaze was really good but as for the plain Keto donut it was dry and crumbly.
