    Donut sprinkle
    Alex M.

    SOO GOOD!! The price is so reasonable and the quality is excellent!! They also have a bar to sit at!!

    Big Tasty Apple Fritter - it was at least at least 6" maybe closer to 8" big
    Hugh M.

    So this review is based on an Apple Fritter that my son bought for me while I was in Indy last week. The Apple Fritter was $6 but it was huge (6 - 8" big - see attached photo). It was big, well made with plenty of apples and the glaze was done to perfection. I really like Apple Fritters if you can't tell. My son and his girlfriend showed me the other donuts they bought and they also looked good although I did not try them. Next time in the downtown area, I will make it a point to stop by and visit in person. I need a donut like a hole in my head but can't resist.

    enjoying the best Jack's donuts I've ever had, thanks, Edith

    With 15 locations in Central Indiana, or at least relatively close to Central Indiana, Jack's Donuts is an ever-increasing donut presence here in my hometown. I was downtown for a 5k event and decided to stop by Jack's on my way back to my car. Located about a block away from the Indiana Statehouse, this Jack's Donuts is on the ground floor of an older office building. It offers a handful of small tables inside and I believe 3-4 outside during nicer weather. Today definitely qualified as nicer weather. I would have a hard time calling this location truly accessible. While you can get here easily enough and downtown tends to have an abundance of accessible parking spots, this entryway is just hugely weird. It is a two-sided doorway, though there's a huge column right in the middle that blocks clear entry to either door. I was able to make it in my manual wheelchair, though I have a hard time picturing someone in a motorized chair having an easy go of it. Once you're inside, however, it's super easy and the interior is definitely wheelchair friendly. There's virtually nothing Jack's could do about this column - it's not a choice they made. It's part of the building. The ordering counter is super obvious here. The employee working the counter was friendly and helpful. The selection was a little more limited than I expected - especially since downtown seems to be picking up, PopCon is also going on this weekend, and we had our 5k. So, my first choice wasn't available. I opted simply for a couple glazed donuts. They didn't have any sort of fountain iced tea, though the employee did offer to sell me a bottle of iced tea with a cup of ice. I did appreciate the "outside the box" thinking. However, I opted for a large iced coffee. I like that Jack's has a large iced coffee that is truly large. So many places seem to go 16-ounce and 20-ounce for their sizes. Jack's has a 32-ounce large. I mean, I won't sleep tonight but at least I truly got a large. I ate at a small table inside. I'd just finished a 5k in the sun and actually appreciated sitting inside. Business was steady, but I never felt rushed. Jack's has quite a variety of donuts and a solid drink variety. Like most donut shops, they also sell various t-shirts and Jack's related items. Today is National Donut Day, though I'm not aware that they were having any sort of special (or at least I wasn't told about one). Prices are pretty solid for donuts and consistent with the market for the coffee drinks. This is not my first time at this Jack's. In fact, I'm surprised I've never reviewed it. I do like this location. It's relatively close to my office, though I almost never get over here unless I'm downtown for an event. With 15 locations (probably about 10 truly in Central Indiana with others in Muncie, Anderson, Kokomo, Crawfordsville, and New Castle), it's relatively easy to get to a Jack's and I'm not sure I truly consider it a destination donut shop. I really like this spot, but I'm not sure I'd drive from my Lawrence home to visit it (my usual shop is at Fort Ben). That said, this was definitely a good experience. The donuts were good, the iced coffee was awesome, the employee was friendly, and despite the accessibility concerns the atmosphere was enjoyable. For those in the downtown area, this is definitely a solid option to satisfy the donut craving.

    I went on a Sunday morning around 10:00. There was a bit of a line, but not bad. Parking right on the Circle will always be tricky. I got half a dozen assorted donuts to go. The price was great and service was okay, but I expected more variety in the donuts! We were craving donuts that morning and I'm not sure it hit the spot. Hard to have a bad donut, and everything was tasty, but I think we'd try somewhere else before returning here. Maybe we came on an off day, but I was just surprised by the selection. Still, we had no trouble finishing off our donuts and totally enjoyed them!

    Finally got to stop into Jacks this year after missing it during COVID hours last time I was in Indy. The donuts did not disappoint! We rolled by the shop for a dozen Sunday morning and were swiftly served. While tempted by the basketball size bearclaws.... Seriously they are bigger than your face. We did a mixed set of everything from the jelly filled to Bavarian cream to sprinkle, Oreo crumble and caramel. The yeast donuts were light and fluffy and not overly sweet which was a good match for the decadent icing. The blueberry cake were soft and flavorful.

    Still the best hands down! I was in haughville and wanted to grab a little smomething somewhere…read more.. then it hit me; Longs! I was hoping it would still be open around 230pm. Well they stay open till 10pm! Hooray! Most other donuts shops and bakeries close early afternoon, so just another reason Longs is 5 star. Small but efficient. People always friendly donuts always fresh and delicious. Fyi- Still cash only.

    I came for one free donut... and left with a box full of bad decisions…read more I'm originally from Connecticut and was driving through Indianapolis on my way back to Louisville when someone told me, "Don't leave Indianapolis without stopping at Long's Bakery." Whoever you are... thank you. You changed my life. The sweet woman behind the counter heard where I was from and handed me a complimentary glazed yeast donut. Let me tell you... WHEW! It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, and it still melted in my mouth. Light, soft, perfectly glazed... I knew right then I was in trouble. I ended up buying a box with blueberry cake, applesauce cake, cinnamon sugar, Bavarian cream, glazed yeast, and a few others. Everything was incredibly fresh, and at those prices, I had to double-check the menu because I thought I was reading it wrong! When I got back to my parents' house in Louisville, we warmed a few up for just a few seconds. Game over. They somehow tasted even better. My plan was to take some to church tomorrow to share... but judging by how fast they're disappearing, I may be testifying about them instead. Before I left, the woman smiled and said, "Make sure you come back when you're in town." Oh, I'll be back. I may even create reasons to drive through Indianapolis now. Long's Bakery doesn't need fancy displays or trendy flavors. They simply make outstanding donuts with friendly service and prices that make you wonder if they accidentally forgot inflation. 10/10. Worth every mile of the detour.

    Legendary doughnut shop in Indianapolis. This is the South side location, the original one is on…read morethe Westside. This place has been around for a long time and has always had incredible baked goods. There used donuts are amazing. Simpli place hasn't really changed much probably since it was opened new paint once in a while, the ladies behind the counter are always very friendly and talkative. This place usually has an extremely long line especially on the weekends, I was lucky that there was no one in line when I got there. Prices are really good. They have a whole lot of different options. Different choices of donut, cakes, pastries. The atmosphere is like an old-fashioned bakery. They even have a picture on the cash register from back in the day. Highly recommend this if you're looking for a great yeast donut, or any kind of donut or cake. This is definitely a go to place in Indianapolis.

    It's been a while since I last purchased Long's. The cake donuts were great. My favorite chocolate…read moredipped yeast were disappointingly dry as if they were day old but I don't believe they put out day olds so not sure why they were dry. I purchased one dozen cake & yeast mixed and 2 dozen donut holes, $23 and change. Although the donut holes were tasty, they were pre-bagged in white wax bags in the case so I didn't see them before purchasing. I was surprised that they were basically six holes still attached to each other, so each dozen are just two large donuts and you are left to separate them. People buying donut holes generally are looking for a bite sized donut that aren't going to have to be fingered by everyone you are sharing them with (the entire office). I view this as laziness. If I wanted one extra large donut, that's what I would have ordered. The point to donut holes is you only touch the one you're taking. Do better, Long's.
