This place is an amazing find. I ALWAYS want west coast style donuts. They're bigger and they're better. That's how they do it in Cali and THESE DONUTS ARE IT! I'M TELLIN' YOU! If you haven't been to Golden Gate Donuts yet, GET YOUR BUTT DOWN THERE! It's located off of Smyrna in a small shopping center with plenty of parking. What's nice and convenient is that the Gene Snyder is right there too, just in case you've gotta hop on the freeway to get to work. They open up at 5:30 and are currently not open on Mondays. I came this morning (a Tuesday around 6:30) and they still had a great selection, but foot traffic was consistent. I came in and took a second to glance at the menu- not complicated. It's a donut shop. I ordered an assorted dozen. They come in a surprisingly small box despite how huge the donuts are- but don't worry. They all fit perfectly. I went ahead and got (almost) one of everything they had). They had cake donuts, regular glazed donuts, chocolate glazed, sprinkles, crullers, twists, filled donuts, and donut holes! They also have larger, individually priced donuts in the case on the left hand side. They have cinnamon rolls in there as big as your head- chocolate and regular, HUUUGE bear claws (filled with either cherry or apple), and giant fritters (apple or cherry). They are super cheap, too! I think I paid like $1.50 a piece for the larger donuts. What I also thought was really cool was that the 'filled' donuts weren't actually filled yet and you could choose what you wanted inside. They had at least four different fillings and I didn't see all of them but I did see strawberry and Boston creme. They've also got a case of beverages, as many donut places do! I will DEFINITELY be back. I'd have to say my favorite thing was the chocolate glazed twist. It was soft and the chocolate was rich. I gotta be careful so I don't end up becoming a regular LOL. Thanks for an awesome first visit, Golden Gate! You made me feel right at home! read more

Cheap good donuts! I've been wanting to check this place out for a while and I'm happy I stopped in. It's very affordable, if you want to grab extra for your co workers or neighbors. I decided to try the apple fritter and it didn't disappoint, it's a huge donut and I couldn't finish it but I'm not upset because it was only $2.50! I also grabbed two glazed donuts for some friends and those were only a $1.50. It didn't look super clean walking in to be honest but the donut was delicious and I'll be back! Service was friendly and quick as well. read more

Very good and fresh. Delightful custard and will put it in any of the donuts for you. Win win!

I stopped in here this morning to get a donut which is out of the ordinary for me because I do not really eat sweets or donuts. But I was in the area I was hungry I saw it sitting there said I've never been. Give a shot. I walked in small little place had some cool little designs in there. And I ordered an apple fritter. It was $1.90 I gave them the two dollars to keep the time. The apple fritter was very good I did enjoy it and it was tasty and definitely worth $1.90. I would recommend this place read more

Very fluffy and tasty doughnuts. Did a mix and match dozen and was happy with the flavor on all of them. We showed up at a 130pm on a Thursday and they still had a nice selection. Which is nice as most bakeries seem to only prepare in morning and then shit down once they sell out. Glad the highview area has a new donut option. Hopefully they find much success. Very tasty and would recommend read more

Great zoswd donuts for an affordable price. They're open till 2p. We got here close to lunch so the donuts were a tad cold but when we heated them up. Omg the best glaze oozed from the fluffy donut dough! I love how the owner makes them and he is actually from San Francisco. Lived there for 20 years. Which hold and behold why the place is called, "Golden Bridge Donuts!" I just love a good Asian made pastry. read more

Golden Gate Donuts - a box of doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

With the unexpected departure of King Donuts on Preston Hwy, people felt like there was a hole left in the Donut World, no pun intended. Then the Gate's finally open, Golden Gate Donuts that is. So let's get this sweet review started. The service was friendly, fast and first-class. The donuts were deliciously dunk worthy. I noticed some people left looking unfulfilled, mainly because they decided against the many customizable jelly and cream fillings that Golden Gate Donuts offer. So I made sure I got my fill, cream filled Long Johns, yes please. The donut selection is just above average. Golden Gate have all the basic donut, but they also have French Cullers, Giant Bear Claws, Flapjack Sized Apple Fritters. The price point for a dozen of donuts, be it filled, cake or old fashion donuts, is perfectly priced at $8. Cash, credit and coins are all accepted as forms of Currency. With so many neighborhoods close by this place will almost always be packed. Which brings me to my only problem. Parking is perilously puny. So when pulling out be cautious, That's What She Said. If donuts aren't your thing they offer a savory selection of breakfast sammiches. read more

If you have a craving for delicious, fresh, amazing donuts I highly recommend this place.

These are honestly the best donuts we have ever had, and I can officially say we have tried them all. read more
