I went to this location for the first time this morning and the sour cream donut was outstanding, the best I have ever had. I noticed the menu also had kolaches, and the donuts and the like were attractively presented for viewing in a traditional glass enclosure. I am just rating this establishment 4 instead of 5 stars because there was not anything special about the ambience although there were a few small tables to sit at that were clean. And the woman who helped us was nice and generous. read more

Best donuts in Louisville. Just tried a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and that was great too. They did not skimp on the bacon. read more

King Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Went here Saturday 5/16. Got Three pastries which totaled $4.61. I paid via debit card. I left no tip.( like tip for what lmao). The next day I get a notification from my bank stating they charged my card a totally different amount of $9.31. So they gave themselves a tip smdh. They will never ever get my business again. I even put a line thru the tip area. Like wtf. Scammerssss and I did report them !! read more

I am joining the chorus to agree that these are the best donuts in Louisville. The cream cheese triangle is my go-to; the donut has a perfect fluffy texture, the cream cheese filling is sweetened juuuuust right, and something about the triangle shape - easy to hold, and easy to eat - is oddly satisfying. Everything on the King Donuts menu is fantastic. If you order a fruit smoothie or a breakfast sandwich, they make it for you right there on the spot. One piece of advice: if you take home a dozen or a half-dozen donuts, make sure that you refrigerate anything that you don't eat right away. There are virtually NO preservatives in the icings or fillings here, which unfortunately does mean that the donuts won't last at room temperature. However, they do taste great chilled, and they last quite a while in the refrigerator! read more

Great, unfussy donut shop with all the classics. Their egg and cheese croissants are good too (they cook the eggs to order). Prices are reasonable. A very nice business to have in the neighborhood. read more

This is a fantastic local spot for some great donuts! I stopped in recently while in Louisville and wanting to grab donuts to share with friends. It's located in the old home of Donut Kastle, and offers everything from no-frills to fancy donuts at very reasonable prices. Service was fast and friendly, and the place appears to be family owned. Definitely a great spot to add to the local Rolodex! read more

Always a sucker for a good glaze and some donut holes! Had a cinnamon twist too. These are great tasting donuts and yummy glaze, but could taste the fryer oil a bit, too. I'd come back next time im in the area for sure! read more

Always a great way to start your day with some King Donuts! They are freshly made every day, but I think I would rather have a chocolate glaze donut instead. Mmmmm! read more

Great doughnuts. They are always fresh. The employees are very nice and friendly. Much better than other doughnut shops in the area.

Husband gets donuts here weekly and all the men say this is the best place in town. The apple fritters are excellent

I love this little donut shop that's close to our house. It is very small, but they have a lot of choices for donuts and have amazing breakfast sandwiches. I tried the bacon, egg and croissant. I think I suggested it within two seconds. It was so good. The donuts can be a little messy as they put them in bags so they stick a lot, so but they're still nice and very light. Don't sleep on the donut holes. You can get a bag for a few bucks and share with all. read more

Some of the best doughnuts you'll find! Amazing selection, clean ambiance, very friendly owners! Highly recommend the traditional glazed doughnuts and glazed crescent! read more

There was a little line when we got there but it moved quickly. The donuts are so light and not overly sweet. I can't wait to visit again! read more

King Donuts - King's donuts - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Delicious donuts and friendly customer service. We were in town for a tournament this winter and last year too. We hit it up twice.

And here I thought Jeff's donuts were amazing. I will never walk in their door again. King's donuts are so good till it just melts in your mouth. And not to mention the price of Jeff's donuts are outrageous. The apple fritter and the Blueberry filled are the best donuts I ever had. Bye bye Krispy Kreme & Jeff's !! read more

I wanted to find a good local donut shop and this is it. It's small and has a hole in the wall charm to it. We got a half dozen (2 glazed, 2 chocolate long johns, a strawberry sprinkle, and a jelly). These donuts are melt in your mouth good. And you can taste how freshly made they are, most likely that morning. While I have seen bigger donut displays at other places, they have a wide variety of all different kinds (I spotted danish and croissants as well) This is also a good spot to pick up a breakfast sandwich to go. There are only like 4 tables in the whole place so this is more of a to go place. I love a good bacon, egg, and cheese bagel, and there's was very good. The bacon is perfectly cooked. I hate when bacon isn't cooked enough. And this bacon was perfectly crisp and they put on a generous portion. The cashier was efficient and friendly and we didn't even have to wait 5 minutes for our sandwiches. This will be a go to for a bacon, egg, and cheese and if I'm craving donuts read more

This place was okay, not my favorite or least favorite. Their donuts were good and they had a decent selection. Their coffee was okay. The service was good and the place itself is fine. Nothing major to say because it wasn't super impressionable but it definitely wasn't bad either. read more

Dropped in about 230p on Christmas Eve Eve. They still had plenty donuts if you were not picky. I got an assortment of glazed and cake with a couple filled that they still had. The total for that dozen was less than $10. That seemed very reasonable as Krispy Kreme has taken quite a jump in price. And the taste...just like old days of fresh, delicious yeast donuts. The girl was super helpful, patient, and polite as I gathered the 12. This business is adding another location on Taylorsville Road, in Jeffersontown, by the bowling alley, taking the place of the Krispy Kreme. Although they had hoped to open by now, their reno contractors are not done. So may be end of January. They are anxious to get in and open, as much as we are!! King Donuts will be a welcomed addition to the community. Not sure if drive thru will continue, but enjoy the experience of picking ur choices, as there are sooooo many choices. King also has lunch items at Lyndon. We will wait to see our offerings!! read more

King Donuts is my favorite old school donut spot. They have the best apple fritters that remind me of my uncle's and delicious glazed croissants! read more

I've been hearing about this place for a while now. I feel like our city needs more donut shops and for some reason, we don't have a ton of options. Most are just bakeries that happen to also sell donuts. I came here after voting Tuesday morning. It was close to 8:30. There were a few others in here. They were either grabbing donuts to-go or breakfast sandwiches. I got half a dozen donuts to share with friends. We got an apple fritter, a sour cream donut, coconut, fruity flakes, blueberry, and one with sprinkles and icing. They tasted good. Nothing special about them. The price point was good though! The 6 donuts were just a little above $5 total. They've also got Thai iced coffee. Very cool! They've got a few tables in here if you want to sit down. Staff was quick and helpful. The parking lot is weird. There are a few spots in the front, then you have to drive all the way around or make a weird, sharp turn to get out. read more

This is one of the very few places I can find Kolaches! I drive out of my way to work to get them. The donut holes are always my favorite. They're very light and airy. The cheese danish never ceases to amaze either. Wonderful service and kind people. Thankful for this place! read more

A morning that includes doughnuts is a guilty pleasure and I felt like the family needed to expand beyond the shop we typically visit. Checking my collection of doughnuts, I noticed King Donuts was a short drive. There's not much to the building. It's connected to another business and has a few spots to park. Inside is compact and a bit too cluttered with boxes and drink fridges to make me want to sit at the couple of tables inside. Immediately upon walking in we decided to take our doughnuts to go and grab coffee elsewhere. The menu actually expands beyond doughnuts. They have breakfast and bagel sandwiches. My favorite surprise was the Thai tea! We got a dozen of doughnuts. It was closer to 11 am and some rows were empty but they were working to bring more out. On the advice of Yelpers I got a blueberry cake and was not disappointed - crispy on the outside, soft in the middle. The glazed doughnut was fluffy and enjoyable and a sample of the apple fritter was super sweet. Most interesting was the long john. They were so light and fluffy. You can taste the butter. I wish they had more chocolate on top to even out the flavors. I was impressed but I wanted more, and I heard the same from my kids ("too much dough"). I'm definitely interested to go back and try more options - plus the Thai tea is a crave. read more

I'm so glad I finally found a solid local donut place nearby. I've been to a good amount of donut places during the pandemic (maybe not something to brag about), but King Donuts by FAR had the widest selection, even in the late morning on a weekend (when I would expect a pretty weak selection). They also had a drink area with a ton of options. The donuts are big and fluffy! All the flavors I tried were great (glazed, cinnamon, chocolate iced glazed, and chocolate cake) but my favorite by far was the chocolate iced glazed. I also tried the pig in a blanket, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe I was wrong to expect something similar to the Jimmy Dean pancake and sausage on a stick...But FYI it tastes nothing like that. Employees are wearing masks and social distancing is enforced. The prices were super reasonable! I'll definitely be back. read more

King Donuts - Chocolate iced glazed; chocolate cake; cinnamon sugar; glazed - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Great tasting dounuts...you won't find a better tasting apple fritter around Louisville. The prices are very reasonable.

I went to King Donuts for the first time this Sunday around 8:30am. There were about five people in line in front of me but no shortage of donuts! I ordered cream filled long johns, chocolate sprinkled, and an old fashioned donut. My favorite would have to have been the old fashioned. It was nice and crispy outside, very soft inside, and full of flavor. All of the other donuts were very soft and delicious. I'd definitely come back again! read more

So friendly and the price is great. They remember you if you keep going and are very accommodating. Glad to be supporting this local business! A suggestion would be their glazed croissants. Sometimes, they are out before noon so getting there early is the best way to ensure you get one! read more

I love this donut shop. We were craving something sweet for breakfast, but also somewhere super close by, and luckily King Donuts has both of these qualities. What I love most is that they have a lot more to offer than your typical donut shop. Along with regular donuts, they also have apple fritters and a variety of other sweet treats to choose from. On their menu they also have sausage and egg biscuits, or even different kinds of smoothies. Everything is very cheap too so you can get a good deal for pretty much anything here! read more

What to get: blueberry donuts Time ordered: 0 mins (Thursday 3:15PM) Time food arrived: 0 mins Ambiance: small donut shop Parking: few spaces in front ~~Location~~ Rarely am I on this side of town, especially in the morning, so for a donut shop to be open in the later afternoon: Yay! King Donuts is close by the busy intersection of La Grange Rd and Lyndon Ln. Every time I stop by a business on that side, Lyndon is always packed with cars lined up towards La Grange. If people are nice, they'll either let you in or cross, but damn...leaving is an adventure in itself. The place has a few spots out front of the shop and the inside is a typical layout of a little donut shop. Clean and basic. The main attraction is the donuts anyway, so let's get down to business. ~~Food~~ I'm going to bet that they have kickass flavors earlier in the day (morning) before they sell out for the afternoon. I count myself lucky to even have a selection by 3PM. Donuts are cheap, so a half dozen is barely $5. I spoiled my dinner and had one of the blueberry donuts beforehand. LOVED IT. I love that little bit of 'crisp'ness to a donut and the cake had a good density to it. The old-fashions and the other ones that I don't remember the names of were decent. I think my taste in food has changed because the OFs were a tad overpowering in sweetness. The others that don't have a name for me were extra flaky. A nice breakfast pastry, but quite messy if you're not prepared. ==Notes for next time== -Go in the morning for more selection read more

This is my favorite place for donuts! Everything is super fresh and absolutely delicious. I love all the cake donuts and the apple fritters are extremely good. Breakfast sandwiches are tasty too.

Best Apple fritters in town. Super friendly. Coffee available and tables if you can't wait

Solid donuts, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. The filled donuts had a good amount of filling and the bars/iced donuts were light and fluffy. When it comes to taste, I still give the advantage to Nord's, but this is still a great spot for good donuts. Nord's is about an hour ordeal between driving and standing in line (still worth it, IMO) but I was out the door and back to my house in 10 minutes with King Donuts. When I'm looking for a quick donut fix at a good value, I'm glad to have King Donuts in the neighborhood! read more

Love this place, amazing service and smiling staff, great food and an awesome variety of delicious heavenly doughnuts

Came to King Donuts after an all nighter at the hospital awaiting the birth of our first granddaughter. The powdered jelly donut was the freshest and tastiest donut I ever had. The glazed croissant was also just unbelievable. The glazed sour cream donut was somewhat oil soaked - I am giving them a bye on this since everything else was the best. My wife ordered several egg bagels and they were also outstanding. read more
