Article in MLive said this is the best donut in Michigan and its been in the same family for 100 years. Got to give it a try. Again, this is a 100 years old family business, Cash or business checks only btw. They make yeast and cake donut and have typical shapes you see in other places. All very good, bigger size than average. They also have a crescent donut which looks like an empanada. (See pictures). I usually don't get cake donut because the ones from Tim Horton are gross and dry. But Hinkley do it right . They are tender in the inside and the taste like a muffin. read more

That's a 5 star Michigan establishment. Thoroughly enjoyed. Hadn't heard of it, then got a few. Omg when they're warm still! Wonderful. And the frostings, perfection. They're classic donuts, with a tinge of Midwest to them (which is to say more dense with smaller cakeys). So good, so well prepared. Ambiance is come in, order, leave. Cash only. Service was speedy and lovely folks. read more

Excellent friendly service. Employees are always cheery and happy to serve their customers, and the donuts are the best EVER!!

They like to take time off and post a small hand written sign on the door that says "closed for annual February break". I watched multiple people pull in, get out their car go to the door and leave. Very rude especially when most of them were elderly in this very cold weather. They don't post that they are closing on their Facebook page or on their webpage. Both say they are open normal hours. You would think they would care about customers be respectful and inform them. Not so much!! read more

Best bakery in the MidWest. Many awards. Excellent selection of pastries. Never a bad choice. Parking adjacent to bakery.

With more than a century of experience, the best donuts and pastries money can buy. Great product, excellent service.

Best in Jackson! They run the store so smoothly even on the busiest days! The history of the building and beautiful originality was kept throughout and still feel clean and well kept! read more

You don't get to be shaped like a construction barrel without eating some deliciousness over the course of a lifetime. And in the course of this lifetime, I have developed an especially passionate love for burgers, beers, and...... DONUTS!!!! Took a drive out on a short donut tour and Hinkley was my first stop. When you see people lined up, I always take that as a good sign. If you're looking for aesthetics, this is not the place for you. It's a vintage building with a vintage presentation of their donuts. But I promise you, if you take Chocolate Rd around the corner, you are going to find deliciousness well worth the drive. They are known for their chocolate crescent so I grabbed one of those, a vanilla creme, and a couple of glazed donuts holes. Standard glazed is the one I use as the baseline for judging one donut championship contestant against the other and theirs was perfect. It was light, sweet, and perfectly glazed. The crescent and vanilla cream were more dense than I typically like but the their vanilla cream was so well made. You could tell it was made in-house. Overall I was very happy with the experience and had not regrets driving so long and far for a donut. read more

These donuts are so amazing that my dad will now only eat these donuts. That would typically not be a problem but he's in Detroit which means almost every week I'm taking him a bakers dozen. ‍. It's my own fault since I'm the one who introduced him to this bakery. read more

The donuts were delicious! Cash only! Will definitely be back! Love the atmosphere of an old home bakery.

Great prices great donuts friendly staff and always crowded . But far best donuts in Jackson and always fresh

Hinkley Bakery is a long-standing and iconic bakery in jackson, Michigan. This place is embraced by the community and has been for quite some time (over a hundred years now). I have friends who grew up in Jackson and they were the ones who told me about this iconic place. So, obviously I had to try it. Hinkley Bakery is not going to blow you away with its ambiance, but in the long run, I think that is part of the appeal. Tge real star here is their baked goods and to put it simply, the food is worthy of tribute. This establishment has been a part of Jackson, Michigan for over a hundred years. It was established in 1913 and there is good reason that the people of Jackson have continued to line up to go to this establishment and have made it a legend within the community. Hinkley Bakery simply offers an incredible product. With the culinary landscape becoming littered with corporate, national companies, it is great to see a local business thrive. Hinkley Bakery is a symbol before these National franchises became the norm. It was about people who live in a community that dare to open a business within that community and the community embraced it. read more

From Vancouver,BC,Canada to Jackson MI. Ordered two dozens assorted donuts plus two dozens of donut holes for the employees of a nursing home. The long John was the best I have ever tasted. I'm sure the rests are very tasty as I have heard great things about them. The lady was incredibly friendly and cheerful and I believe she is the co-owner of this busy bakery. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Hinkley Bakery - Beautiful lady and delicious donuts - Bakeries Near Me - Jackson, Michigan

I was working at a facility in the Jackson area and someone brought in doughnuts for the crew. When the workers heard they were from Hinkley Bakery, we immediately took a break so everyone could get their favorite doughnut before they got snatched up. I chose a crescent with cream cheese frosting that was absolutely heavenly. It was fresh, crisp and had a beautiful texture. If I work in that area again, I will definitely be eagerly awaiting a wonderful Hinkley doughnut. read more

Service and food! We get donuts for the YMCA every Friday last year; until the YMCA went under construction. I believe we will resume when the pool opens. We only eat Hinkleys!! Service is quick and cordial. read more

I've traveled around the world, and this humble bakery has the best doughnuts I've ever had! You will not be disappointed.

I do have to admit that the donuts are not as good as they used to be. But when your donuts are at 100 and everybody else's are at nine, even not being as good as they used to be is delicious. These are the best donuts in all of Michigan. read more

My opinion is not a popular one. The only good donut they have is the glazed one. The service isn't anything special.

Excellent donuts! The chocolate crescents were a favorite with the cinnamon sugar a second. We came at 7 am with a small line. Highly recommend if coming through town. read more

Hinkley Bakery - Fresh donuts! - Bakeries Near Me - Jackson, Michigan

Best donuts ever, love the quality of this place. Ever since I came here nothing else beats it.

I live 2.5 hours away and have come here twice when I'm in the area. These donuts are amazing, there's something about the dough. The custard filled, cake donuts with chocolate, blueberry ones (both glazed and frosted), walnut fritter, and apple fritter are the best. Also, the staff is super friendly and helpful both times I've been here. The prices are reasonable too. read more

Best donuts anywhere! Always get a chocolate crescent and the cherry donut holes if they have them!

Best doughnuts ever? Possibly. My absolute favorite is their blueberry crescents. So so good

These are the best donuts I've ever had. They are a Jackson, Michigan staple and were voted #1 donuts in the state of Michigan. You can't go wrong with any of the flavors, but I am partial to the cream-filled long johns with the chocolate frosting, and the apple-filled with the cinnamon frosting. They are so dang good! read more

Best donuts in the state of MICHIGAN!!!! The service is always a pleasantry. Last time there heard the make a mean coffee as well. read more

Hinkley's is the pride of Jack-Town for anything Doughnut or Pastry related! Always a line out the door, but no worries, the line moves fast!! But if you're worried about being late for work don't be, one chocolate crescent will have your boss forgiving your tardiness and possibly giving you a raise or a promotion read more

Absolutely wonderful bakery with different selections and specialties from donuts to bagels..

A Jackson staple since 1913, this little old house made into a bakery is one of the reasons why Jackson is so great. Each morning at 5:15 am, their doors open and wonderful smells escape the front door. They're known for their crescent donuts with frosting on top. Today we bought a sampling that included carrot cake, cinnamon, the well known blueberry and chocolate. Their sprinkles is a favorite among the kid crowd and their donut holes are easily poppable while driving. Remember it's cash only, they close when they sell out and there is usually a line out the door. read more

I only wish this wonderful bakery was open more hours. One can drive by and be so, so surprised to see the long lines of people waiting eagerly for these wonderful, fresh donuts! If only the management could increase the hours, it would even be more remarkable. read more

You have to try a " chocolate croissant " and the " blueberry fritter ", no other places sell them! The donuts are fresh & you can taste the buttery, flaky layers when you bite. My favorite donut there was the chocolate donut hole. This place is very reasonably priced. CASH ONLY business. They do NOT accept debit/credit cards. read more

Friendly service and helpful regulars completed the deal! Go. Eat. Enjoy. You won't regret a single bite! read more
