History
Walter H.

I read somewhere in a review that, "while in Indy you must stop at Long's." Challenge accepted, and I'm glad that I did! We were in Indianapolis for less than 24 hours but this stop was a must! Good customer service and they move the line fairly quickly. Out of the donuts that I tried, the Caramel applesauce cake and the Apple fry were my favorites. My only gripe was with myself, because why did I only buy a half dozen? These donuts are even good the next day and iykyk how rare that is.

I stumbled upon Long's while looking through the area on Google. This kind of old fashioned bakery is getting hard to find, but you can tell why the customers keep coming back. The staff was friendly when I arrived and I was served right away. They had a big assortment of donuts and pastries for sale. The only thing that put me off was it wasn't the cleanest establishment due to the run down look on the inside and outside. Also the sour round area isn't the best and didn't feel so safe. Donuts were okay but I prob wouldn't come back because of the atmosphere.

Neighborhood bakery serving up delicious donuts and pastries. It's simple and old-schooll They focus more on making great baked goods rathee than anything fancy.The only real drawback is that it's cash only. Their glazed donuts are some of the best I've ever had--light, fluffy, and sweet.The apple fritters are just as good, big, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with apple flavor. Both are good with a nice cold glass of milk or even just a cup of ice water.

What a fantastic bakery. It smelled amazing in there and they were moving pretty fast.This place was busy and had everything you could ever want in a bakery. Cookies, cakes, mini pies , danishes, donuts, coffee and so much more. I was a happy camper there. I got a variety of stuff in 2's. 2 Cinniafry bread 2 pumpkin spice cake donut 2 raspberry cheese danish Everything was fabulous. My favorite would probably be the Danish!!! I would come back here when in the area!

First timer here as I just moved to Indy. Went at 8 pm and so I was fearful the donuts would be stale. Boy was I wrong, they were delicious. I asked the young Man working whats his favorite and told me blueberry cake so I got that and a cinnamon fry. So so so so good. The blueberry cake was so light and moist. It was perfection. The cinnamon fry had a bit too much icing for me but was good. I put it in the toaster oven the next day and scraped some icing off and it was so good. I will definitely make this a once every month treat.

Still the best donuts I've ever had and I've had a lot. Service is never friendly and sometimes can even be rude, but if you get past that, you can't beat these donuts. No fuss old school bakery, cash only, in and out, street parking and good donuts. That's it.

I had to sample a few right away!

You can expect to have a line here, but it gives you time to look at the many baked items, donuts, and danish that you have to choose from. The prices are amazingly cheap. We got over a dozen items, including a danish, brownie and an assortment of donuts and it was under $15. There's no dining space here. You just go through the line, order what you want, pay with cash and head out the exit.

This place is outstanding as proven by lines out the door late Friday afternoons. Everything is made from scratch on the premises. We tried breakfast pastries, donuts and even bought a whole cake. Most donut shops/bakeries put out their items in the morning and when they are gone they are gone. Not here, they keep making donuts throughout the day. You can go late in the afternoon and the selection is just as good as when they opened that morning. I like that. Important to know, they only take cash which may be why they are able to keep prices affordable.

Can't miss with the cinnamon twist and the original yeast donuts. City  classic!

The best donut place in the world. This is a city classic. Cinnamon twist and original yeast.....can't go wrong.

Longs Bakery and eager patrons !!

The history alone is rich and rewarding ,,,, then you taste ANY of their delicious creations and WOW! The glazed yeast are my perennial fav's but wow it's a model of efficiency and although there is almost always a line of eager customers (badge of honor for this bakery) the line flows like a military chow line , no attitudes just courtesy and friendly staff!!! It's known throughout Indiana and I'm sure with the hundreds of thousands of Indianapolis 500 race fans that have fallen for Longs treats !! Give them a try !!!!

What a historic treasure! Long's Bakery was recommended to us by an Indianapolis native and we headed out to experience it. Super small and simple but the yeast and cake donuts were heaven. Staff was in readily kind and patient and helped point us to some great selections. We loved the Bavarian cream with chocolate and the seasonal apple!

Had to try these legendary donuts while in town for work. They definitely live up to the hype. Very busy shop with quick service. Staff are very nice & helpful, as there is a lot to choose from.

I decided to stop into Long's Bakery during a thunderstorm. Best decision! Even at 6pm last night there was a steady line of customers. Every one was friendly and helpful. I got the Caramel Baby Alligator and 2 Cinnamon Fries.

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.
