I jumped on my trusty Yelp app and looked up bakeries and found Poppy's Bakery in Frankfort. I've been to Frankfort numerous times; but, had never taken a drive down that road. I am so glad I tried Poppy's out. From the moment I got out of my car I could smell the fresh baked goodies. One word.....heavenly. The lady working was so patient with me after I told her this was my first visit. Everything looked so delicious. I chose an assortment or cinnamon rolls, raspberry filled donuts, cheese danish and cherry cream Cheese danish. When I say this was the best danish Ive ever had I mean it! The danishes almost had a brûléed texture. One bite into that initial crunch then sweet, pillowy dough. My heavens...I'll be going there plenty. They had a wide variety of baked yummies that I'm sure would get a thumbs up from even the toughest critic. Thanks Yelp for the recommendation. I honestly would've never drove that way otherwise. Try it out y'all.

Fantastic Bakery!! We go there for the doughnuts and the people! Extremely nice people. I don't know them personally but they make me feel like an old friend. They also have great coffe drinks. They are opened from 9 to 9 unless they sell out, and closed Sunday and Mondays. I wish I lived closer to the shop so I could go every day. read more

The cream cheese…read moretriangle 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!

I noticed the menu also had kolaches, and the donuts and the like were attractively presented for viewing in a traditional glass enclosure.

Best donuts I have had in Louisville so far…read more My favs: Glaze. It's not overly sweet but has the perfect soft pillow bite. Old Fashion. Won't leave the store without one. It has the perfect crunch and if you like sweetness; this is for you. It's dense. I also love the double chocolate cake and sometimes (when not sold out) they have the double chocolate with sprinkles. The breakfast sandwich is simple but hot and fresh. I can never get a pic because as it's that good, you just have to eat it immediately. I get the bacon, egg, and cheese. I am a hunter's extra sharp cheddar type of girl. Even so, the bagel sandwich with regular American slice cheese, an egg you can hear them scramble in a bowl with a fork. And then they add the most thick but crunchy bacon. I mean like soooo delicious bacon. Cooked perfectly. Not flimsy but crunchy but not burned. I have been known to have this sandwich for dinner. Oh, I didn't mention that after 3pm, donuts are 30% off. Don't count on the donut you want being there though after 3, because they LITERALLY have a line as early as 7 and they open at 6 am! The line moves super quick though. The owners have a great process to work front and back kitchen. This is a small establishment but there are two table outside and a lovely park across the street. Can't believe this place is in the heart of Prospect. Definitely worth the visit for a sweet treat or a savory sandwich. The owners and other guests are soooooo sweet!
