Hi-Five Doughnuts.. nobody wants fruity pebbles and a mound of slop on their f*n doughnuts. That's disgusting. Good riddance! Someone please open a donut shop that excels in the basics with affordable prices. Give me some gold ol' quality cake donuts, sour cream donuts, etc. and some good, basic black coffee. LFG!!! read more

RIP. Hi-FIve Doughnuts. The greatest doughnut shop I have ever eaten at. Now it lays itself down to sleep, it prays the Lord its soul to keep, and if it dies before it wakes, it prays the Lord its doughnut recipes to take, so none of the other doughnut shops can use 'em. (Bastardized from Shel Silverstein). read more

I wasn't sure about giving this place 4 or 5 stars. I only had the glazed donuts so hard to give 5, but have no reason not to. The owner was very friendly, reminded me of how Bardstown road used to be in the mid-90's. The glazed donuts were good. Looked different than other glazed donuts I've had but tasted great. read more

Massive Donuts with great flavor! Visited this place before they began their move & absolutely loved the funky variety of donuts! The service was great & gave great recommendations. The donuts themselves were massive, I got 5 for my husband and myself and we ate on them for a few days. I also once got a dozen for a work event and they were a hit among the sweets lovers. I love that their women owned too, can't wait to visit the new location when it opens up! read more

Hi-Five Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Hi-Five Doughnuts is a Butchertown/NULU neighborhood of Louisville donut shop that is pretty highly regarded in the city of Lousiville. After having Hi-Five on my to do list for a long time I finally made the trip here the other day on a late morning around 11am on a spring Thursday with my wife and two youngest daughters. You walk into the brightly colored yellow building and the interior is very vibrant and has fun decor. They have a few donuts out in a glass for selections and a decent sized menu. My 2 year old daughter got in the Easter spirit which was a few days away and got an Easter designed donut. She kept pointing at the Pastel colored designed heart and a coconut donut that had a peep on it. We told her she wouldn't like coconuts and the lovely worker must have been paying close attention because when she brought out her heart shaped Easter donut she put a peep on it which made for a happy 2 year old girl. So very nice and sweet of the worker to do that without us even asking her too. They have a combo where you can pick a glazed donut which a few glazed options and double it up with a group of glazed toppings to choose from. I got two donuts from This combo. I went with a chocolate glazed and topped it with chocolate chips and I got a cinnamon glazed and topped it with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My wife went with the unique KY Fried Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich which is a chicken Sandwich that uses glazed donuts for the buns. We both also got some hot chocolates. Everything we go here was great. The donuts are rather large, super fluffy packed with flavor. The toppings were fresh, creamy and delicious. My wife said her chicken sandwich was great. She was cautious when ordering it but she said the flavor was great and the unique combo somehow worked. Our hot chocolates were stuffed filled with marshmallows, sprinkles and cinnamon flavors. I personally thought it was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. My wife said the cinnamon flavor was too much for her which hindered her rating of the hot drink. In another great moment of customer service the worker Overheard my wife and I trying to think of places to sit down and enjoy our yummy donuts in the warm weather that day as there is no interior seating at Hi-Five. Just a counter to order the donuts and some standing space inside. The worker informed us that if we walk behind there facility they have a nice shared patio with the bar next door. So we made the trip outside and enjoyed our snacks in the good weather. Overall I can see what the hype was about. Very good donuts, cool options, solid pricing, great service and cute little setup for hi-five donuts. Absolutely will be back to revisit this place. read more

These ladies are amazing. They were so friendly, patient and informative. Plus, they make amazing donuts! I mean, is there really more to say? Yes, there is... Pricing is reasonable for their creative creations & these bad boys are big. I opted for the (justifiably) raved about chicken sandwich (top of the menu), as did the hubs - with added bacon, egg & cheese. He couldn't pass up the cinnamon streusel donuts, so, he grabbed that too. After his sandwich, he talked about how full he was WHILE eating his donut. Dare I say it's hard not to overindulge. I loved having something savory to cut through the sweetness, as I'm not big on sweets. Of course, we'll be back. We even loved the decor! read more

Excellent donuts with some unique creations. The dough is perfectly moist, no dry donuts here. I love how you can create your own donut or create a donut sandwich. I had an old fashioned cake donut and a chocolate long John(or chocolate bar if you're from the west coast), the chocolate frosting has a very nice flavor. read more

Finally got a chance to visit the new location and though the donuts are still good, the batter must be different. I got the maple bacon and the icing/topping was fine, but the bread doesn't have the same chew and texture. I was slightly disappointed but I'll give them another try. read more

Such a cool place. Very quaint, cozy. It's not really a place for you to sit inside. They have a couple of seating spots outside though. Not too much. The lady at the counter was very nice. She helped me pick the right pairings for toppings for my donut and told me about each special donut in the case. I posted a pic of the menu so you can see all the different options. It wasn't expensive at all. I got 2 nice size donuts for $6. I think that's a pretty decent price. One of my donuts was a create your own one. I had bourbon caramel and bacon added to it. It was so good and a pretty large donut. Actually all the donuts there were large. Well worth the money. So many different options to pick from. My son got the basic twist with cinnamon on it. He said his was good too. They also sold food. I saw some breakfast sandwiches and they put them in boxes like box lunches. I'll definitely be going back when I'm in the area. It was so nice. A great spot for locals and visitors to try. read more

The best donuts in town. They are oddly heavy to the touch but fluffy you eat them. My absolute fav! read more

This place was awesome! Stopped with a friend while driving through town. Small, cute and slightly girly inside. Lots of pink and so cute! There are several selections of doughnuts as well as " building" one for your liking. We each chose a doughnut with a frosted flavor... peanut butter, chocolate... etc, then added toppings. I chose the bacon crumbles. The king of the show was the chicken doughnut sandwich!!!! JUST SAY YES AND GET ONE!!!! One of the best and fun sandwich I've ever had! Probably good that I don't live in the area or these sandwiches might frequent my diet more than would be healthy for me lol!! Great customer service and they give lots of help in choosing your perfect doughnut! read more

I have had this place on my radar for the longest time. I finally made it on a Saturday morning on the weekend of Bourbon and Beyond. There is street parking and I actually had no trouble getting. I go in and and I'm the only customer in there (it was about a half hour before closing time) . There wasn't a very big selection of donuts left and I got the last I want to say Salted Chocolate that was left and a small organic milk to go. The ladies behind the counter were very friendly and I would definitely come back here, I would tell anyone maybe come when they open because the selection maybe better. I did enjoy my sweet treat though. read more

Walked down the street and bought a dozen. Cinnamon roll is an OMG experience! The chocolate icing and old fashion were the other two I tried - that is 3 of the 12 varieties I bought. The wife and mother destroyed the remaining 9!! The following Sunday my sleep was cut short by dreams of doughnuts. I walked down the street early (7 am) for another dozen but didn't get in the door... sigh... they open at 8 am on weekends rather than 7 as during the weekday. Please for my sake, sleep in so I get the bigger variety of choice--- I'll save you the trip and let you know how they are. I'm just that nice ... or not. I would like to keep this as my little doughnut shop down the street. Thank you. read more

This is technically my second encounter with these folks. Many moons ago I had one of their donut at a music festival (probably louder than life) and bought their tshirt. Fast forward years later, I discover thry have a brick and mortar. They have a cute store, and limited to 3 guest at a time due to covid restrictions and no indoor seating. Menu is easy to read and has choices galore. I recommend planning to make multiple trips, unless yoh can eat sweets for days without dying. Their glaze donuts are huge! My husband got the breakfast donut. He was going to leave the mayo off but decided to try it in its original state. He was glad..cause it was amazing! He said his donut was fluffy and not over glazed sweet amd if was nice and savory. My widoughmaker mini? Hope you brought a bib, fork and knife! This bad boy came double boxed to contain it. It definitely fall over due to its weight.. but it was soo good! The chicken was perfectly fried (crispy outside and moist inside). The donuy moist. The cornflakes made good texturr with the gravy.... mmmmmm. Highly recommend you share this if you dont want to belly persplode! We will be xoming back for sure! read more

I am a fan of Hi 5 Donuts as they serve some of the best donuts in Louisville and the most creative and evolving ones. I wasn't born this way, they convinced my taste buds. They serve Brioche style donuts, meaning they aren't the lightest but aren't heavy either. They are yeasty and not too eggy, just the perfect combination and they are huge,. WAIT VEGAN FRIENDS: they didn't forget you, they have vegan AF donuts. They serve various selections daily but the basics are always available as you can top your donuts with various available drizzles, flavors and condiments. They also serve sandwiches. Yes sandwiches that I myself I never would love them. Just like the idea of pineapples on pizza deterred me, yet I tried it and it was traumatic, I wasn't believing in fried chicken on a donut. Oh, I was wrong, that's from a man, and that sandwich is one of the best chicken sandwiches I ever had. Needless to say, I plan to try the rest of the sandwiches options soon. They also cater. Hi-5-donuts also serve cinnamon sticks, drinks, dine in and carry out. They are lovely from dates, friends, family, friends and to impress some one with a gift. Anyway, I just found out they have a food challenge that only four people tried, it goes for $50, win it in takes all and a shirt with 30 mins allowed and lose it to pay and walk away with the left over, 30 minutes allowed. Street parking is always available. You MUST TRY THIS PLACE. I have reservations on some items such as the cinnamon roll and apple fritter, other that, I had only had good experience, get ready to be impressed, I highly recommend the chicken sandwich.

I love donuts and I was really excited to finally try Hi-Five. We've been wanting to try them for awhile now. But it was a let down. I got a long John and I liked the texture of the dough but it didn't have much of a flavor to it. The chocolate glaze had a weird flavor. It wasn't necessarily a bad flavor but it was not enough of a chocolate flavor. There was just an overall lack of flavor with the long John. My boyfriend got the chocolate chip donut and said it was doughy, not much flavor, and kind of bland. Like I said, I love donuts but I didn't really want to finish the donut and it just wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. Cute little shop and street parking was really easy. Still on the hunt for the best donut in Louisville. These were just a little too blah for us. read more

I stopped by today for a quick bite and decided to try the KY Fried Buttermilk Chicken sandwich donut. I've actually never tried a donut sandwich before so I didn't know what to expect, but this was definitely much much more tasty than I could've imagined. It comes with a glazed donut and 3 pieces of chicken strips inside. The chicken is a perfect combination of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's so huge too that I thought I would be left feeling very heavy after finishing, but it was actually perfect. What I liked about this shop is the unique options offered. In their display case, they rotate different flavors each day, I think. They have vegan options as well. In addition to their display, you can create your own by picking the glaze and the toppings that you want. They have an assortment of different donut sandwich options as well. Everything on the menu and in the case looked amazing that I wish I was hungry enough to try more. I did order the vegan strawberry glaze for my friend, and she was amazed by how good it was. Despite coming in large sizes and tasting so good, I do think it's very pricey for donuts. I wish they were a little more affordable, and I would've been inclined to buy more. It also does take a little while- I think I waited almost 10 minutes, for the donuts to come out. I kind of wish there was more in the display to choose from on the spot, but I guess it's also a good thing that it takes awhile cause then you know your food is being made fresh. What definitely stood out to me here was the customer service. The staff is very kind and takes the time to answer questions and give recommendations. I took awhile to decide what I wanted and was not rushed at all. I will certainly be back to try more. read more

My husband and I love trying different doughnut places, so we're excited to try Hi-Five. They did a great job with Covid precautions and even have curbside pickup available. We got 4 doughnuts, two we created ourselves and two from the display, a red velvet and cannoli doughnut. Our favorites were the two we created ourselves. I loved the cinnamon glaze with chocolate chips and that the doughnut was warm! The doughnuts were so rich, so one is enough. We got to enjoy them Saturday and Sunday because they were so filling. We will definitely be back to try others and the sandwiches! read more

Hi-Five Doughnuts - Top row- Canoli doughnut and red velvet Bottom row- cinnamon glaze with chocolate chips and chocolate glaze with Oreo topping - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

What a cool little spot.. and i mean little, literally. This place isn't huge, but does what it needs to. Donuts.... a handful of their monthly specials and the ability to build your own donuts by choosing a glaze and toppings. We ended up with a birthday roll. Very similar to a cinnamon role, but with donut and sprinkles; the kids *and wife, loved it. I made a donut with normal glaze, bacon and chocolate sprinkles. Pretty good! Other kid had a peanut butter glaze with oreos, cant go wrong there! We also snagged a bottle of water; bill came up to $15 or something like that. Not cheap donut, but a low cost experience for the kids. read more

THIS is what all donuts should be. I wish I had made the visit here so much sooner than I actually did. If you haven't been here yet, you really are missing out. These donuts are humongous and delicious. They do have some of those standard, expected donut flavors, but the weirder, more inventive flavors are where it's at.

I have been meaning to try Hi-Five Doughnuts for a while now, and am so happy to say that it is finally crossed off of my list! Their doughnuts are seriously SO good. And not only that, but they are HUGE! I tried their mocha doughnut that was slathered with chocolate sprinkles and a coffee-flavored icing, and it was fantastic! Not to mention it was like three times the size of a normal doughnut....but I'm not complaining one bit. The shop is small but cute, and the people who work inside are very friendly. Great place to grab a doughnut or two (or three...or four) for whatever the occasion may be! read more

The service and the vibe are excellent. I have been there a few times since they have opened in the loop and everything I have eaten from there was tasty. I especially liked some of their chocolate specialties. The chocolate was certainly above the average chocolate pastry you can find here in town. An added benefit, is that they are a locally owned business. read more

The world must be coming to an end because I am finally giving a breakfast joint more than a 3 star review. Breakfast food is my least favorite meal and if they did away with it I wouldn't be mad. That being said, Hi-Five is doing something right if I'm raving about them. My friend and I woke up around 7:30 on a Sunday morning and we wanted food. There were not a lot of options to choose from and we have never been to Hi-Five so we decided to hop in my car and try it out. The store is absolutely adorable. It's a small building that's painted in yellow and pink (similar to the doughnut from The Simpsons). You walk in and the first thing you notice are the people at the counter ready to greet you. Everyone that I encountered were super friendly. They provide specialty doughnuts and custom doughnuts. I went with the sugar cookie and chocolate icing with chocolate chips. The doughnuts are huge. I couldn't finish one so that meant leftovers! Both doughnuts were so good; honestly I don't have anything bad to say about them. I brought some home for my family and they loved them also. The Chocolate Chip Pancake was the big winner for the group. I'm so glad my friend suggested we come here because they were the best doughnuts I've had in Louisville. I don't think I have given a breakfast joint more than a 3 star rating so something is going right at Hi-Five. If you haven't tried these doughnuts, go right now! read more

My husband and I tried four different doughnuts here and we really liked all of them: maple bacon, lemon poppyseed, raspberry (I think...), and a cinnamon twist. While the flavors were good, the texture wasn't my favorite - maybe because they were just so different from any doughnut I've had. They're also huge so we could only sample the four we got - and they were not good the next day. Nonetheless, I enjoyed what I had and would definitely come back if I was in the area. I do wish they had smaller options for people who want to try their many fun flavors. read more

Talk about a HUGE donut!! Hi-Five was in my neighborhood on a Saturday morning, and these donuts were the perfect start to the weekend. These are what Saturday mornings are made for! I am obsessive about donuts, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Normally I want to eat more than one donut, but eating one of these was so filling. They definitely aren't the cheapest donut around, but I think you get what you pay for. read more

Donut discovery in Louisville. I had no idea that Louisville had this trendy location for breakfast treats! While in the area I splurged on a dozen fancy donuts from the case. These make a perfect Friday morning treat to share with friends and family. I ordered a breakfast sandwich for myself. It was a delicious combination of sweet and savory. Since it had egg cheese and bacon, I was balancing protein and carbs, thus making it a healthy choice,right? read more

Hi-Five Doughnuts - Doughnut holes with chocolate glaze and sprinkles. Mostly eaten. - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We have been waiting for over a year for the new location to open and finally it has, but boy it was a big disappointment. Something has either changed with the cooking method or recipe. What happened to the airy, yeasty tasting donuts from the old location and the truck? We got a lightly dipped peanut butter glaze , a lightly dipped strawberry glaze, an old fashion cake. (Hard, over cooked, no taste), cinnamon twist (by far the best), chocolate donut (was in the case),and an order of holes. The dipped yeast donuts, along with chocolate donut seemed old, dry and over cooked. No taste except the icing. The cinnamon twist was very fresh and tasty. The holes were dense and no flavor. I hate that we did not experience the same donuts that we had before because we have been holding out for a long time for what used to be the best donuts in town. Just wasn't worth the calories! A good donut can stand on it's own, without all the add-on stuff. No cinnamon rolls either:( read more

Walked in at 10:45 on a Saturday morning & this little spot was bustling with business, the line was fortunately moving quickly though & there were only three ahead of us. The donut case had PayDay inspired donuts, a long john with chocolate icing, crushed Butterfingers, and a caramel custard inside, birthday cake donuts, red velvet, a blueberry vegan option, etc. We ordered some basics from the main menu -- a plain glazed donut & an order of donut holes with the bourbon caramel glaze. Both were huge & delicious. I personally love how runny and sugary the glazes are, perfection. Along with the donuts we ordered one hot chamomile tea, and our total for all was $9.60. Delicious product, fast service, so definitely worth it for a nice morning sugar rush. read more

I loved how u could build your own donuts with your own flavor. The place was so cute and so cozy and I loved it so much. Me and my friend went together and we both have said we would have to go again. read more

Yay! So glad they opened a brick and mortar! I felt like the food truck had much smaller donuts and they were a little pricey. These are much larger! I guess they changed this up because they wanted to create a product suitable for the price! My friends and I came at 9 in the morning on a Thursday and there were a handful of people in here. Two guys had ordered breakfast sandwiches, which I will have to try next time. They looked good! One had fried chicken and one had the typical egg and meat! One lady was talking to a worker, although she was there picking up a dozen. I will add that this deal is a little pricey, but these aren't your ordinary donuts and they are seriously HUGE. But it'll cost you a pretty penny though. Upwards of maybe $30. I got some Elixir kombucha from the fridge. It was lavender lemonade and very good! I also built my own with the girl at the counter's suggestion. It was bourbon caramel topped with bacon. Wow! I could taste the bourbon! It was filling and messy, so I used a knife and fork to cut it. My friend also built her own and did strawberry sauce with Oreos. It was much too sweet for her but she liked what she chose. The strawberry sauce was a selling point to the donut. My other friend got a mint julep donut. Again, you get that nice bourbon taste. Very well executed! The space is small, but we sat at a bar table against the wall. Other than that, there was one other table in here. Most people don't sit in here. People came in and out as we sat for the next hour to grab donuts. Service was great! They were really nice and asked how we liked the donuts. I'm coming back again! It's worth it! read more
