I grew up in Brownsburg and this was THE doughnut shop. Fast forward 20+ years... new location but the doughnuts are still THE best in the industry! Every time we head back to Indy, Hilligoss is always on the must visit list! Love that they accept credit cards now! I always make sure to get there in the first hour to ensure I get my hands on all of our families favorites; as they sell out quick! read more

If you didn't preorder your Thanksgiving rolls, you missed the boat. The rolls were baking when we arrived and the intoxicating smells of buttery bread filled the air. A steady stream of customers were picking up their rolls. We came for donuts. The selection was limited, but it was late in the morning. The cake donuts filled with custard caught my eye. They were topped with chocolate glaze. They melted in my mouth. The custard was so creamy. The bakery is locally owned and operated and wins awards for best donuts. But you've got to get in there early for the favorite glazed yeast donuts. There is plenty of parking in the lot. No seating inside, but there are a couple tables outside. read more

Came in Valentine's Day along with most of your town. The line was long but moved fast and they were friendly. Lots of variety. A dozen fresh donuts for $13. 50 years of service shows when you visit! read more

If you know you know! Glazed donuts are the best around and the danishes are like Óma made when I was growing up. Bring cash and get there early. read more

So it's hard for me to give a star rating because we came after the post-eclipse rush (and Hilligoss didn't have much left), but I also wanted to share the photos. Given the one donut I had (raspberry filled), it was definitely better than your standard fare - good quality, maybe a little sweet but more personal preference, maybe a little small but overall a solid donut. I had a taste of the oatmeal raisin cookie too - which tasted homemade with the nutty oat flavors and a bits of salt - I could see it not being everyone's favorite but still a good cookie. Definitely didn't expect the place to be so sold out so early (as it seems many reviews are saying), but the eclipse crowd probably definitely contributed to the shortage. Happy for the bakery though :) read more

Donuts were fresh and full of flavor. Light donuts with great toppings such as Carmel and nuts. The yeast were the bomb!

I was really excited that I was finally make it to Brownsburg to check this place out. However, all I was served was a big old heaping of disappointment. I got there around 2PM, 4 hours before they close and their display case was empty. They had a few donuts and a couple of Danish left. Well, since I was already there, I opted to get something. They donuts did not look very appealing at the time, so I got two Danishes for $4. The guy that was working there was friendly enough and the place has a parking lot that it shares with the other businesses in the plaza that it is located. They do not have indoor seating available, but they have a decent amount of tables that you can sit at on the patio area in the front. The two danishes that i got were pretty good. I wish I had more of a selection to choose from though and not whatever they had leftover from earlier in the day. I understand that you don't want to waste any goods, but they should either have a wide assortment of goods available until close or adjust their hours to close early. read more

Lots to choose from on this rainy Monday morning! Greeted right away. They are always very friendly and helpful! Quiet atmosphere today as the rain seems to have kept everyone inside. Love the cream cheese donuts! Where else can you still get a fresh flaky cream cheese donut & a medium cup of Grog coffee for only $4.64?? read more

They take cards now! I have only been here a couple times, so I might be behind the times. The first time I visited, I had no cash and had to leave empty-handed. Today I got a cheese danish, a cinnamon swirl (could be calling incorrectly), a glazed cake donut, a brownie, and milk. The danishes are decent-sized and have a good quantity of cheese filling on them. All of the donut-ish items I got were nice and light; not too dense. The cinnamon swirl could have had a bit more cinnamon, but still good. The brownie was pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. I received everything for under $12, which feels a smidge pricey, but what isn't these days?! The shop itself is small and dated (which does give it a homey-feel), but the pastries look nice enough, so it's fine if you're just picking things up. read more

I was so happy to finally try the donuts at Hilligoss bakery. The service was great. The cashier gave was very friendly, and gave great recommendations. I ordered the glazed yeast and the glazed cake donuts. The yeast donuts were so soft and yummy. I went in the early afternoon, and the donuts weren't warm, but still very delicious. The cake donut was one of the best cake donuts that I've ever tasted. I look forward to returning! read more

Sadly I don't live nearby, so I always like to come here to get my donut fix when I'm in town visiting family. Like any good donut/bakery spot, best to come early to get the most selections! Haven't tried their coffee but can't go wrong with a dozen (or 2) to share with your family or co-workers! (Lots of exclamations but I swear it's so fresh and tasty!) read more

The best yeast donuts in Hendricks County! They're a staple for any morning get-together with friends.

I've tried their donuts for the first time and their are pretty good. The service was fast. The staff was friendly and the ambiencewas nice. It was very spacious inside. read more

Amazing doughnuts every time! Wish they had more chocolate frosted yeast all the time so I didn't have to wake up early to get them but always worth it! They go fast they are that good! read more

Amazingly fluffy fresh classic donut and pastry goodness. This is an establishment that is open until sold out, and they do sell out of items quickly. Go early and often. Zac and the kids recommend the powdered fluff filled donuts, and i recommend the cinnamon twist, peanut butter roll, or my personal favorite is the maple pecan role. read more

Best doughnuts in Indiana! But you have to get there within 2hrs of them opening as they sell out fast! I can't even say what to get here, they are all just absolutely delicious. My favorite is a just randomly grab a doughnut and you'll be happy as long as you're not allergy cursed. They almost get 5 stars! Only reason I can't give them 5 stars is they don't make cronuts or French crullers. read more

Some of the best donuts Ive had in the area. I got the lemon filled and creme filled powdered donuts; soft and delicious. The staff were friendly and greeted me upon my arrival helping me pick out my donuts as as first time visitor. The ambiance is very home like. Highly recommend! read more

Best glazed donut I have ever tasted! Nothing even comes close. The danishes are also the best ever. It's all good here. Get there early because they make a set amount each day and sell out. read more

In town, staying with relatives while I attend a funeral, and my favorite auntie surprised me with my favorite donut from y'all. It was delish!! Light, but chewy. Not dry, and the perfect amount of frosting. Yum! read more

Hilligoss Bakery - Chocolate covered cake donut - Bakeries Near Me - Brownsburg, Indiana

I love this place! It's comparable to longs in my opinion, but better because of its location, and the fact they accept cards. The yeast donuts are so simple and delicious, but my ALWAYS go to is the cheese danish one day they had these fancy chocolate and icing covered danishes that were perfect but haven't seen them since. Always make sure you get there early, being open after 12 is highly unlikely. read more

Best donuts in the city as far as I'm concerned. Crème filled specifically, but there are no misses. They sell out quick so get there at open. Cash and card these days which is nice. Been the best since I was a kid and nothing else tops them. read more

Donuts are so so delicious and great service!!!! Telling people about this place!!!!!!!

Between a 3 and a 4 star for me. My husband said his apple pastry was quite tasty, my glazed yeast donut was just okay. The glaze was a bit thick and hardened for my taste. Went with the 4 star rating for speed of service and very reasonable pricing. There were multiple girls working the counter and helping everyone with their boxed donuts on a busy Saturday morning. No frills on the inside and no unexpected donuts or pastries here. read more

Very soft and tasty donuts! Go early because their supply seems to dwindle quickly. They have a good selection of danishes and I believe they even have cookies too. They have been a Brownsburg staple for many years and are popular. I feel they are better than Jack's donuts. Their taste is good and fresh and you won't be disappointed. They used to not take credit cards, but they may now. They do take personal checks. read more

Absolutely the best donuts you will ever have! I've been going there since it opened and never disappointed

Worth waiting in line for prior to opening! I stopped on my drive home to Virginia, my only regret is that I didn't buy more. I got an assortment and seriously loved everything. I'm not usually a plain glazed donut person but the one at Hilligoss is literally the best one I've ever tasted. I can't wait to come back for more on my next trip! read more

Another 5 star visit. It was much busier than our first time but Hilligoss was well staffed with 3 team members and lanes open at the counter (separated by plastic panels on the front and sides for safety). Even after driving from Hilligoss in Brownsburg back home to Avon in 7F degree weather, the donuts were still hot in the bag when opening at home. Memories of Krispy Kreme hot off the line in store but with authentic homemade ingredients instead of that artificial aftertaste. read more

I always pass this place on the way to Walmart. I decided to stop there today but most of the donuts were sold out so I got some cinnamon rolls. Absolutely delicious, especially the peanut butter one. I'll definitely be going back again but much earlier. read more

The bakery is mostly a place for donuts, cookies, and some pastries. Pretty standard fair with the exception that these taste fresh. I've been to many bakeries and donut shops around the metro area and must admit that I didn't see anything here that had that "wow" factor...just plain and simple stuff. I prefer pastries to donuts, so I did pick some Danish and a sampling of the cookies (they make theirs the soft and chewy variety, not the crisp or thick kinds.) The flavors were fine. Just nothing to get excited over. It's nice that they have long hours and are open before and after work. I was surprised when I saw the sign on the door that they are a cash and check only business. I've seen other places do that unless the order was large, but it seems like an inconvenience to the customer to have to stop at an ATM if they need a large order. The competition has gone tech, so I wonder how much business they are missing out on. Oh well, if you are in the area and have some cash on you, stop by and support local to assuage your sweet tooth.

Delicious donuts! My kids love the creAm filled powered ones. The people working there could be a bit friendlier tho ):

They are yeast donuts are the best I've ever had. You have to get there early because they sell out quickly

This is one of those amazing bakeries that's been in business since 1974 and survived the test of time serving the Brownsburg area for 45 years. I've driven past so many times but not making it a destination never made it before they ran out of doughnuts or closed. Today, we had a 9:30 service appointment at the dealership and made a point to visit before they ran out. One thing to know is Hilligross now accepts credit cards so you can pay with cash or credit card. As you approach the entrance there's a patio area with four picnic tables and umbrellas to dine at weather permitting. The aroma was so sweet when we entered. The bakery is cute with four dine-in tables and colorful posters to the left as you enter. The soda fountain is to the left and a cooler filled with milk and juice is to the right with the bakery case straight ahead. We expected a line but only one person was in front of us. As we approached the case, there were only a few options remaining but enough to give us an opportunity to sample. About 3 dozen yeast doughnut, a few glazed cake doughnuts, a large caramel alligator and 3 apple danish remained. I selected one of the apple danish and my husband had a glazed yeast and cake doughnut. We wished we could have warmed them up for a few seconds but still decided to eat there since we were on our way out of town. My husband commented the yeast doughnuts has body but still light and fluffy and the cake is almost as fluffy as some bakeries yeast. The apple danish was tender and light with a dollop of sweet, diced apples in the center of the danish. We both would order again. There never was a line while we were there, just a steady stream of what appeared to be regulars slowly clearing the remainder of the inventory. I'm happy we had the opportunity to try their doughnuts. I would like to return to see all the options available. You have to be providing the customers what they want to be in business for 45 years. If their open the next time we're in Brownsburg we'll stop back in. read more

Great donuts and cookies, it's really popular and only open a few hours but they have great food! My only downside is that they don't have different stations to keep cross contamination down. read more

Fresh donuts and pastries every day, gotta get there early for best selection! Fav donuts are the powered with chocolate filling, jelly and glazed yeast, of course! read more

Love these doughnuts & pastries... they are certainly " calorie worthy!" I don't indulge often but love it when I can. I love the White Buttercream filled ( Powdered or Chocolate). My friend's husband is from Brownsburg and I recently ran into her as she purchased his birthday doughnuts ( She drove down from Noblesville)! Staff is much friendlier than before, more engaging & cheerful. read more

Hilligoss is DA BOMB! I make at least one early morning run a week to this place, to the joy and adulation of my kids (and wife!). Just be sure to get there early, as once the donuts are gone... they're gone! read more

Hilligoss is a pretty decent, neighborhood donut shop that I frequent with my son going to and from swimming practice. It has an enthusiastic local clientele, which, for the average customer, is generally a negative. ARRIVE EARLY, or the selection will be limited. Sometimes 8 am is too late. Bring your singles as you have to pay cash. We prefer the standard yeast donuts, with cake being pretty moist and tasty. Danishes are ok, but less good than donuts. Prices are very reasonable. Coffee is decent, not always hot enough. Some reviewers refer to poor service, but it has always been efficient and friendly on my visits. read more
