On our most recent visit to Sun Prairie, a family member suggested Greenbush Bakery as it was his go-to for donuts / bakery goods. Wow! Greenbush has quite a selection and we found out you can also place a specialty order within 24 hours of desired pickup. Longer business hours than most other bakeries / donut shops. Interior is spacious and inviting if you choose to sit down to enjoy your bakery goodies. They also have a small area set aside as a "gift shop". Staff is very friendly and helpful when trying to decide what you want from all the delicious choices. Highly recommend Greenbush Bakery! read more

Came for the apple fritter and it did not disappoint. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside with plenty of real fruit filling. And if you are not one for the traditional Apple fritter, they have other flavors, as well. They have a fun historical mural, and some games for the kids. Reasonable prices, too. read more

Greenbush Bakery - Fritter - Donuts Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Disappointed. The fritter was overcooked and I threw the whole thing away after trying one bite. For as many good reviews this place has... definitely had much higher expectations. Maybe this is the best in town?? Just not worth it. Especially for the cost. And it is unfortunate as all the fritters looked "well done" ... and for the price? Oof! They are HUGE and maybe today was a one-off. I hope so. read more

I was excited to try donuts from Greenbush Bakery for a quick breakfast, the reviews looked great. The bakery was a short drive from my hotel in a small shopping plaza. The bakery is a nice combination of a new store with plenty of old school feel. The donuts are displayed both in the glass cases up front and on the trays on the back wall. The selection is very good with plenty of donut styles and flavors. I ended up getting an apple cinnamon sour cream donut and a chocolate filled stick. Donut prices were a bit expensive, $4.65 for 2 donuts. The donuts were OK, but not great, a bit dry and not as flavorful as I would expect. The apple cinnamon flavor was a bit muted and the filling of the stick was chocolate pudding rather then chocolate creme. I would have liked to try one of the apple fritters, while they were huge $5 seemed excessive. If the other donuts were better I might have grabbed one the next day for the drive home. Maybe my expectations were too high but I just found Greenbush Bakery to be a bit of a disappointment. Certainly not bad, but I have had much better donuts. read more

We went at 7 am on a Friday and were unfortunately disappointed. I'm not sure if their bake times have changed from our past visits (baking during the day instead of early morning), but it seems as though the early morning donuts are not fresh and potentially baked the previous day. Food 3/5: we got an assortment and none of them tasted fresh as we've had from this location in the past. They do have a nice variety and we love their old fashion donuts. Service 5/5: the girls were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall this place has great donuts *when they are fresh*. We love their old fashion donuts but unfortunately during this trip the donuts tasted as if they were day old. read more

Greenbush Bakery - Old fashion, cake and raised donut variety - Donuts Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Love that they're open late. Their plain glazed donut is the closest thing to a Krispy Kreme donut without the trek to Milwaukee

Blueberry maple yay taste like breakfast, Choc old fashioned did not have a strong chocolate flavor. Lemon fill ok very lemon flavor, berry old fashioned not much flavor Coach toast coconut cake delicious very tasty Maple yeast good not oily taste to 2/ I tried 12 different flavors and most of them were good. Over all good place to get donuts. read more

The driest doughnuts I have ever tasted! The customer service here is moderate at best and the parking lot is usually crowded (depending on the time of day you visit). read more

Stopped in later in the afternoon and they only had donuts left..not sure if they usually have breads and other bakery items? Opted for one of their giant apple cinnamon fritters. I underestimated the size, because even 24 hours later and I still have half left for breakfast tomorrow read more

Greenbush Bakery - My sister snapped this photo of me halfway through the Apple fritter - Donuts Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Donuts..what more can I say? I had a glazed donut, but I wasn't sure if I should get a sugar glazed donut. The service was good, but I felt a little rushed because there were people coming in behind us. I loved the tree painting and thought it was great decor. I would go back if I was in the area again. read more

The hunt for amazing donuts brought me to Greenbush Bakery and I left satisfied. Though I didn't buy one, the fritters OMG they are the size of a steering wheel. "YES, CAKE DONUTS!" Not a raised fan myself so anytime I can get cake donuts it's a win. I ordered my standby, cake with vanilla frost and rainbow sprinkles and I got an old fashioned cherry. $1.55 per donut is a good price, Is pay twice that for these. They were soft and fresh with great flavor. If you're like me and enjoy milk too wash them down they have you covered. Milk so cold your throat will burn YES! $1 for a 1/2 carton. Total $5.27 total is a deal. Highly recommend Greenbush. Next time travels bring me to Madison I will be back. read more

Greenbush Bakery - Donuts Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Some seriously good donuts. The vanilla cake with sprinkles was very good and the enormous fritter was enough for 2 days of donut eating pleasure. The coffee was better than average. Made a stop in Madison just to grab some donuts as I was driving down the highway, glad I stopped here. read more

Keep in mind: Long Johns are only available on Fridays and Saturdays. I was in town and looking for some donuts and Greenbush came up. I went in and the ladies behind the counter were very nice and helpful. When I took the donuts to share, I was asked "how did you hear about them, these are some of the best donuts in Madison!!!" I didn't spend long inside, but it looked clean and inviting, and I would definitely be back if I were in the area again. read more

Those fritters I'm a super fan of Greenbush and always try to time my Madison area travels around their business hours. I read about Greenbush on a "best of" list and they do not disappoint. My fave is the fritters - truly as big as your head. Donuts are good too, and staff is super quick and friendly. Pro tip is always to get here early. I've come mid-morning and they have been "out." Definitely worth an extra stop if you're in the area, and maybe even a drive out on a nice weekend morning! read more

I use to visit this bakery on Regent St. when I worked in Madison. I was surprised to see it on the East side when I went to a store nearby. I don't commute to Madison anymore so am only in the area for specific reasons. I love their new store. This review started a while ago and I have been back to this bakery a couple of times, telling everyone I know who frequent the East side of Madison. We have tried a variety of their baked goods and they never disappoint! I suggest you get there early to have a variety of choices. Fritters as big as your head-today we tried the blueberry and cherry. Moist and delicious. We were shopping by East Town and swung by the bakery on our way home. It was about 12:30 in the afternoon and we did not realize they closed at 1 pm so we're happy the timing worked out. After purchasing the fritters we were told we could have some free donuts. My husband asked how many and they said 6. Wow-did not expect that. My husband choose some donuts with chopped peanuts on top, 2 with vanilla glaze and 2 with chocolate glaze and a couple of chocolate cream filled Bismarck's. If I eat a Bismarck it is usually custard filled because that is what "I thought" were the only kind I liked. However their cream filled was so light, fluffy and not overly sweet that my mind has been changed. We both ate a peanut topped donut on our 30 minute drive home and I told my husband I was glad we were in his car as he didn't care if peanuts rolled onto the car floor...lol. These donuts are one of his favorites and they did not disappoint. I'm pretty sure he inhaled his. While in the bakery we learned the name Of the ladies at the counter. They were friendly, cheerful and customer focused. Lisa and Reina were amazing! We look forward to our next visit while in Madison. read more

The Greenbush bakery was tasty. I had two donuts, a sugared ring and a frosted ring and they both were good. I would've liked to try a glazed and a crème filled. My mom liked the crème filled though. Thanks! read more

Always stop here on road trips up north. Tons of selection and donuts are huge. Staff is always friendly and donuts are fresh.

Second time we have stopped at their far east side location to pick up some donuts. I really like their cake donuts especially the cherry flavored version - delicious. Very moist (I know that word is not on trend but they are moist). I think these are a bit better than their yeast donuts - the peanut one was good but needs more peanuts! Definitely will stop again... read more

Greenbush Bakery - Outside - Donuts Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Donuts make me go nuts!! Classic mom and pop donut shop here. Nothing fancy though they do have a few snazzy choices. Affordable and delicious. Coffee's pretty good too. Refreshing, really, in a market saturated with overpriced commercial homogeny. Sufficiently sufficient customer service veering towards smug. read more

As a "Donut Professional", I would like to say that they aren't wrong being voted best donuts in Wisconsin. The Indiana donuts that I'm used to pale in comparison to these. Their apple fritters were the funniest part, they WERE ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE (I advise you share it if you get one). I'm going back here every time I get donuts for work. read more

Greenbush Bakery - Donut Display - Donuts Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Usually don't review bakeries/coffee shops but this place was truly great! The girl who took my order was super sweet and helped recommend her favorite items as well as the most popular. All the donuts looked fresh and delicious. My friend and I ended up getting 4 and they all were phenomenal. I even got a black coffee to balance out the sweetness which was p good. I didn't really pay attention to prices because I assumed 4 donuts and a coffee would be around 15-20 dollars but when she told me $8 I was shook. I live in a major city so coming to Madison for the weekend has been a great budget trip and I will deff come back here in the morning for a sweet treat again (Yes, the Apple fritters were bigger than our heads but no I didn't get one...wish I did) read more

Greenbush Bakery donuts are blessed! I went for a donut date with my nephew. My nephew chose a donut with sprinkles on it. He enjoyed it eating it. The staff even gave him a donut sticker. It made his day brighter! The donuts tasted good, and I must say we must go there earlier because they run a different variety of donuts fast. read more

The baked goods are always so fresh, regardless of the time of day. Nothing will be day old. Baking is on site and it seems as if there are fresh baked goods available early afternoon and into the evening. Service is always friendly and they have a great selection of baked goods. I stop there every time I'm in the area. Worth the trip read more

Everyone loves a great doughnut! Everyone should visit Greenbush Bakery! You feel the quality in your hands before the rich flavors reach your mouth and savory powdered sugar, icing and fruit jelly filling smother your tastebuds. Greenbush will excite you and put a smile on your face. read more

Everything always goes well here. Been here more times than I can count & always walk out pleased with exceptional product. This is the place if you want an excellent experience with superb baked goods. read more

Good Simple Classic Donuts. None of that crazy bacon maple, white chocolat kumkwat pistachio, quinoa whatever here... trendy-millennial flavors are not what they're all about. I like this place for their comforting down home basic flavors, the kind your grandma would get you. Oddly enough my favorite is their glazed, though I haven't built up the appetite for their bear claws or critters yet - but they're huge!! read more

Average donut and pastry shop. Donuts were large and light. Nothing special. The fritters looked delicious unfortunately they were sold out of Apple. read more

If you have enjoyed Greenbush Bakery doughnuts then you understand how disappointed we were to have purchased apple fritters, cherry fritter, and the assorted cream, jelly filled, and sprinkled doughnuts. A dozen dought including 2 apple fritters. Our surprise the fritters were verey crunch on the outsidewas that the fritters contained virtually no apple along with the cherry fritter contained no cherries. The cherry fritter has some cherry flavored sauce and that's it. All of the doughnuts were extremely dry. We were heartbroken to see that either the recipes have been reduced along with the quality of the product or that the batch of doughnuts for the morning were bad. Either way - quality control has slipped or reformulation of the receipies for cost savings may have been implemented to save money and increase profit. Quality is slipping and the product does not live up to the reputation established over the years. Be caution when purchasing in the future. read more

Good donuts. I liked the Rabbis delight. The first time I came there was all sorts including said delight, today MLK Jr ‍ there was a lot less, maybe sold more. Regardless I came back in and visited twice in my short stay in Madison. I think that says a lot. Reasonable prices for good tasting donuts. read more

Greenbush Bakery - donuts - Donuts Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Quality bakery with a large selection of classic donuts. When we pick them up in the morning, they seem a little dry since they sit there overnight. This causes them to fall apart easily and make a mess, but they taste great. Friendly staff and the prices are reasonable. A dozen came out to about $12. My favorite was the classic glazed with chocolate covered with peanuts. read more

Old fashioned donuts are delicious as always! This east side location does event orders, so you're less likely to be able to get a super hot and fresh donut here than at the Regent location. Parking is much easier at this location because you can just park in the lot and walk in, instead of dealing with street parking. The only downside is that the dark roast coffee tasted burnt. read more

People seem to love Greenbush and I want to love it too. But no matter what time of day I go there, the donuts are always kinda dried out or even slightly stale. Got an old fashioned the other day and it was rubbery like it was a day old, couldn't finish it. I don't understand why others don't seem to perceive this. Occasionally I catch them coming right out of the kitchen and those are great, but 95% of the time they are underwhelming and just okay. I actually prefer standard grocery store donuts like Pick N Save, even if they're not so "gourmet"... as long as you get them relatively early in the day they are pillowy soft and delicious. Much more reliable that way read more

This place is listed as the best place to get an Old-Fashioned donut in Madison! I honestly didn't try any other donuts while in Madison but I have to say they make a mean Old-Fashioned. It had the perfect amount of density and sweetness. It wasn't too greasy which I feel like can be a definite issue with these type of donuts. I very much enjoyed the cherry one that I tried! The yeast donut on the other hand, meh. It was alright. The guy that helped me was super nice and pretty cute too. Thanks for the recs! read more

The best damn donuts in the country! My only knock would be to update the website so I know if you're closed or not during this pandemic

Pretty good selection of fresh doughnuts here. A nice fella behind the counter helped me select a good mix and get on my way fast. The fritters there are HUGE! read more

The donuts are absolutely delicious. The service was grumpy and annoyed that we were there. They were impatient even when there was no one behind us in line. If I want a donut, I think I can find some good ones closer to home. read more

Although not my absolute favorite donut (but the favorite of my husband), the donut flavors are wonderful, and so are the giant fritters (get the cherry!). We served Greenbush at both our wedding and housewarming. The order was accurate, and the donuts made the 3-hour drive to the wedding location without incident. Actually, people started eating them before the wedding dinner started, and we got one of the last 2! If ordering for a wedding, order more than you think you will need!! This location in particular is great for Northsiders and folks in Sun Praire. East Towne Mall adjacent, the parking lot is huge, and the people are nice. read more
