Add in the fact that it's locally and family owned and it makes this an easy 5 star review. This would ALWAYS be my first choice on a place to recommend for lunch if you're out of town and looking.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this delicious place until now. I have been coming…read morehere for years after discovering it on a photo walk around town during a festival. There are plenty of things to choose from but you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't try a pralines & cream bar. I have diabetes and always TRY to eat this slowly but it's one of those things that may be bad for the glucose but good for the soul. There are breads to choose from to take home, and you can ask for a sandwich from the deli while you're there. I plan to try a sandwich next time. The customer service is always A1 and the prices seem fair in comparison to others. I definitely recommend this bakery to anyone and everyone!

A pain management clinic sits next door to this bakery, but even I (as a physician with some…read moreknowledge in the area) couldn't help but think that perhaps the display of sweets might be better at relieving pain than medications. The chocolate crinkle cookie I settled on delivered a delicate, melty texture. Conversely, the spicy crackers I ate later were robustly flavored (and hey, capsaicin does have some uses in pain medicine too). Their cafe menu didn't have a ton that interested me, and this didn't seem to be a place for people with niche dietary needs, but as a regular bakery it satisfied.

I came to Red's Donut Shop after hearing for years how amazing it supposedly is. I genuinely wanted…read moreto like it. Instead, it ended up being one of the more disappointing bakery experiences I've had. We walked in to a display case that was almost empty and a line that felt more like a suggestion than anything organized. After waiting longer than expected, I ordered a French cake donut--what I received was surprisingly small, closer to a sample than something you'd expect to pay for. The service, though, was the real standout--and not in a good way. The employee helping us seemed clearly annoyed from the start. Basic, reasonable requests were met with visible irritation, and the overall attitude made it feel like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. That kind of interaction sticks with you more than the food does. What really added to the confusion was noticing trays of fresh, better-looking donuts behind the counter as we were leaving--none of which were available or mentioned while ordering. Yes, the prices are lower than other places, but the portions reflect that, and the service makes it hard to justify even a quick stop. I can understand people having fond memories of this place, but based on this visit, it doesn't hold up.

Atmosphere - Like most of downtown Metropolis they are located within an old building. They managed to keep the charm of the bricks alive and well with the modifications they needed to run their business. Food Drink - Large mocha, the temp was just right for drinking. The drink was a little chalky in texture. Pastry - No sure what they called it, the receipt states Danish/Pastries. I could go along with Danish. They should label the goodies. The blueberries where great, the pastry was a little over cooked. Service - My cashier was blah. Like she did not want to be here. Maybe cause I was not a regular, she seemed friendlier with them Future - Maybe on my next business trip.
