But then I bought some more things, and my honest ratings are below: Cardamom bun: 4/5... I'd have liked a bit stronger flavor of cardamom, but I understand that the locals may not opt for it. It was fresh and yummy! Cookies (assorted): 4/5 Almond croissant: 1/5... extremely dense, very small, and too expensive at +$6 for that size. Taste was so-so, texture was hard. Smelled of orange marmalade for some odd reason. Sourdough bread: 1/5 .. tooooo tart for my taste and the yeast smell came through too strong. Scones: 1/5... I know a good scone when I see/eat one.. and these were again too dense and dry. Smelled of orange marmalade.

They bakery staff were kind to offer advice and to offer to slice and/or pack up each loaf separately. The options rotate so I would call if you are looking for a particular item that is not in their regular plan. The pastry selection looked amazing but I would have loved a few more non-meat options since the other breakfast items looked amazing. The cookies are all worth a try - particularly the sorghum.

I've had Spalding donuts before but I've never been inside their shop. It smells so good in there!…read more I stopped by around 8:30 this morning and there were 3 or 4 people in the store. I didn't wait for long and the woman at the register was friendly. The store itself feels like its frozen in time in a good way. The building has a lot of character. I got two cinnamon sugar, chocolate confetti and a plain glazed donut for a little over 5.00. I wanted to eat my donut as soon as I got in the car but had some self control..Now that I'm home I can't promise I'll still have that same self control! They also have cakes, cheesecake tarts, cupcakes, cookies, brownies.

Every time I go to Spaldings it's like a roll of the dice. I keep going hoping that I will get the…read moreincredibly delicious glazed doughnut that I know they can make. I would rave about them and even take them to Louisville for my son and his wife to enjoy. But now, more often than not, I get exactly what I received this morning. Stale tasting, old glazed doughnuts. A whole box full (2dozen). I woke up extra early and dropped in this morning to get glazed doughnuts for my office. When I got to work and they opened the box..... Just sad. I should have looked in the box at the bakery but it wouldn't have really made a difference, I am not a person to make a scene or cause any kind of ruckus. I googled reviews to see if any one else has consistently experienced this, which led me to leave this review. I am just so very frustrated. Call the store...tell the staff... for what? As long as people line up and they sell out, what difference does it make for one complaint? Not to mention they're not very welcoming when you go in to purchase. Not mean at all, they just seem bothered. I know what a good doughnut they can make and to spend $30 for old doughnuts just makes me sad. Why do this to people trying to patronize your business? I'm afraid that I have taken my last trip to Spaldings doughnuts. No excuse for old, dry, cold doughnuts at 7AM. Dry, embarrassing and a complete waste of money.

They were nearly sold out, but the staff went above and beyond to make us a unique treat. They took their classic glazed donuts, dipped them in chocolate, and added crunchy peanuts on top. The result? The most airy, fluffy donuts we've ever had! Perfect balance of sweetness and texture, and the extra touch made it feel extra special. The ambiance is very causal laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by early to get a taste of their delicious creations!

I walked up like an idiot and asked if I could see the donuts, no ma'am cause they make them FRESH to order!

I might need to turn this car around and go back for another..... Seriously - STOP HERE! They also have Matcha lattes and coffee drinks. I didn't try them today, but I will in the future. Pure heaven. Totally worth it.

We were so excited to try this place. However, after a few disappointments, we do not foresee that…read morewe will return. We have eaten donuts from coast to coast and these looked promising so we drove almost 2 hours to try these. We called ahead to place our order because they're made to order. The lady on the phone was friendly. We ordered 12 donuts and an order of donut holes. We arrived and there was just one couple ahead of us placing an order. The lady taking their order did not know their own menu as she debated with the customers that the donut they ordered was a drink, not a donut (it was in fact a donut). I got to the window and paid and our order was ready. As we left I noticed we were missing a donut (glazed ring). We pulled back in and I explain this to the woman at the window. She argued that I only ordered the donut holes and not the ring. She had correctly repeated my order back to me on the phone, but in person she stated I didn't order the ring. I reminded her that I ordered 12 donuts and was charged for such and she agreed. I showed her the order she gave me contained only 11 donuts. She asked the lady in the back to prepare a glazed donut in which she responded "she wants two glazed rings?" I spoke up and told her I never received it. She was under the impression I did while the lady at the window said I never ordered it. Finally got that situated and on to the tasting. These donuts are VERY HEAVY. Like "make a pit stop to get the taste out of your mouth" heavy. We were very excited for the maple bacon donut as this is one we always order. Unfortunately they messed that up as well and gave us two filled with custard . We absolutely HATE custard so those went in the trash. The caramel was pretty tasteless and hard. The toppings on the sticky bun and cinnamon roll donuts were very gritty and unpleasant. The Dubai chocolate and Chunky monkey donut was not cohesive and was just one big mess. The glaze tasted like someone microwaved cake frosting and over heated it. The donut itself was actually better the next day and not while it was fresh, which is something I never thought I'd say. Overall, we were so excited for this place, but ended up disappointed and don't foresee returning.
