It makes me sad to do this but the quality and price for the donuts do NOT match. My family and I have enjoyed this place ever since we've moved to Clarksville, until they switched ownership. We have noticed a huge decrease in quality and an uptick in price. This morning my cake donut was flat, boston cream donut had an aftertaste and was only half filled, the texture of the donuts were just off. We used to love going here but it's declined more and more with every visit. I hope they take a look at their process and make a change because we would love to support them, but for now, we're going to have to look elsewhere. read more

We've purchased every single birthday cake for our family here since I was a child. Unfortunately, we purchased our last today. Globby greasy icing that has literally pulled off the cake due to the weight and consistency. No roses which is standard on every cake we've ordered for a birthday. The quality is just not there to match prices any longer. read more

Big shout-out to Williams Bakery! On a Sunday morning they had a beautiful selection of all kinds of cookies and cakes. Picked up a big cake to take to a family reunion and it was a huge hit! The Baker herself was there and said that the bakery has been there for 130 years, obviously not in the same location since this is a nice modern place, but that tells you something! The service could not have been more friendly or efficient. I highly recommend this place to anyone who likes real baked goods, not stuff that comes from a factory. read more

we came by I believe this Saturday before Easter. The staff we interacted with was very nice. And we were happy with the little Easter game they were doing. Donuts tasted very good. read more

William's has been a staple bakery & donut joint on this side of river for a very long time. They have everything from breads to cakes to cookies to donuts. I popped in on a Sunday morning around 9:00am to get some sweet treats. Their thumb print cookies are to die for. I wanted to try some of their donut holes however the staff member told me they were sold out for the day. He told me they typically sell out of donut holes between 7am & 8am on the weekends. He was very nice and helped me select a couple of other donuts to try. I got a glazed donut (big yum) and a cake glazed donut (also yum). I preferred the glazed donut over the cake donut. I will definitely set my alarm and head over one weekend to see about snagging some donut holes! read more

Hadn't had hot cross buns yet this year so I called Williams and they held a dozen for me. I arrived at 5:00 on the dot, and they had me go to the take out window and served me even though they were technically closed. I appreciate it so much! read more

Great gem of a bakery. The service is as fantastic as the pastries are delish. This is my new neighborhood bakery

This bakery has always been a go to for our family through the years. It's family owned and operated. There's been a bit of a rough patch for a few months. Please consider supporting this business. Reposted, in part, from Facebook (Jon Reiter)... When you have the chance over the next few weeks and going forward, visit Williams Bakery in Clarksville. They're handcuffed by an endless construction project. They're also hanging on by a thread. This is a local business that has served our area well for decades. From New Albany or Louisville...Get on Brown Station Way and turn by the new wastewater plant, turn onto Clark Blvd., then head north. The road is broken up and it takes some effort, but it's worth it. Their inventory of baked goods, despite this, is as good as it's ever been. Support your local small businesses. read more

We came in at 7am and were greeted by friendly faces. The photo does not do the nutty donuts size justice. We were recommended the fried chocolate donut and it did not disappoint. The thumb cookies, blueberry muffin and pecan turn overs were also so good. Very dangerous place lol read more

I will definitely be back! I was looking all over for a lamb cake, as I always grew up in Chicago having one each Easter. A few people had recommended this bakery. While they didn't have a lamb cake, they had this bunny cake which definitely was a great stand-in in place of the lamb! All the kids loved it, and it tasted delicious! Cute cake, reasonably priced, and absolutely delicious! read more

Very friendly service, best fresh cannolis in the world. Very low prices, always cooking something in the back. read more

Not what W used to be. Donuts + Danishes now $2 - almost double the cost and half the size. See pics today. Already had this problem once before and it appeared to be corrected but appears New ownership still needs to make more effort to make donuts big enough to justify the unfair $2 cost per donut. Sad to see. Used to love this place but not paying $24 for a dozen donuts. read more

Love William's bakery. Everything is delicious. Staff is very friendly and they treat everyone like family.

O.M.Goodness....I stopped here to bring donuts to visiting family on a whim as I had never been to this hidden gem before. The staff (plentiful) was very friendly & gave me the run down on the bakery's offerings regardless of the crowd that continually filed in for baked goodies. I wish I could remember what the pastries I purchased were called; fried pastry with glaze and chocolate icing. (Can't go wrong there- fresh, rich, sweet; oh my) My family adored the sweet treat. Goes well with a tall glass of milk. read more

This place is amazing. Stop wondering if you should try and just go. The chocolate fried danish had no business being so good. They are all so friendly too. read more

Williams is an old school bakery. Fresh and yeasty tasting treats. Very friendly staff. So good I drive from east end Louisville for the best donuts in Louisville and Southern IN, bypassing Jeff's, Nords and Plehn's. read more

After being gone for nearly 30 years I was thrilled to learn that although Williams Bakery was no longer located off Lewis-Clark in the same plaza where K-Mart used to be located when I was a child, but that they have relocated to a location that's about 3 miles away - if that far. When I was a child my mother would treat me to their star-shaped butter cookies when we'd visit K-Mart on the weekends. That was a memory I always held onto. Although I couldn't literally taste that fond memory since they no longer bake my favorite cookie, I was able to try their other goodies. They have a huge selection of donuts, cakes, cookies, etc. I tried the glaze donut, fried chocolate danish, and peanut butter cookies. The glaze was super delicious - they tasted like the old school donuts that I've found to be difficult to find now-a-days. The fried chocolate danish was really, really good - to die for. - oh my goodness! The sales lady said they sell quickly - I can taste as to why! The chocolate was thickly atop and the chocolate flavoring itself was really good (made from scratch maybe??). The PB cookies were definitely made from scratch - they were light, yet really good. I will definitely go back for the glaze and fried chocolate danish and I look forward to trying other baked goods. Oh...I think they're reasonably priced. I bought 2 glaze, 2 fried chocolate danishes, and 1 package of peanut butter cookies (6 in the pack) and it totaled $7 and some change. The bakery itself is large on the inside, it has a seating area, and a drive-thru. Parking is ample, whether in front of its building or in the parking lot belonging to the plaza next door. Williams Bakery is "still" a keeper. read more

Great local donut shop. The donuts were great, I stopped by Sunday morning and there was a steady flow of customers. Really enjoyed my visit

Nothing like fresh homemade donuts. Travel the 2 blocks further from Dunkin' Those aren't donuts

This a place my parents grew up going to and have always loved it. Now it's my turn. Pecan rolls, donuts, cakes, pies, cookies, bread...you name it it's there and it's good. Small, quick pick up or dine in. Helpful staff with friendly smiles. Worth trying even if it's out of your way. read more

My opinion only here, but Southern Indiana has two top of the charts doughnut shops, Williams and Jeff's. Jeffs was in Jeff, but moved to Charlestown and Williams is still in Clarksville. I love both equally but I really appreciate the downhome feel of Williams. You can buy doughnuts, a drink and sit down and eat, or get homemade cookies and breads on the sales racks to take home in bulk.their hot cross buns are awesome too and you cannot beat their King cakes but be sure and order those early! read more

What an amazing little bakery. I stumbled on it by accident while searching the local areas for cannoli's. Best. Cannolis. EVER. Their doughnuts do not disappoint either! read more

My husband's favorite cake so we have this cake a few times a year. We order a white cake, which is always fresh tasting and it is topped with the bakery white nostalgia vanilla icing. Flower roses are a staple feature on the cakes. I have tried to deviate from the roses several times but it is never works out for me. I know communication is key when ordering, but you can only do so much. As long as you keep it simple you will not only have a great tasting cake, but a pretty floral cake as well. I have had other goodies from Williams and all the have been delicious. Everyone is very pleasant when you call and pickup service is always fast and friendly. I will continue to order my simple little cakes because they taste great and my family loves the traditional bakery taste. read more

These bakery goods are always great. Have been for years. Cannot go wrong. Great varsity from dinner rolls donuts danish cake fritters etc. drive thru too read more

I love this place. I am a bit of a apple fritter expert, and this place is the standard that I compare all other apple fritters too. The product is consistent and delicious. All of the other donuts I have tried have been wonderful as well and I have heard great things about their cakes and bread. If you find yourself in the area, swing​ by and give it a go. The staff is friendly and the seating is old school cafeteria booths. Just comfortable enough to shove a donut in your face. :D read more

Williams Bakery. Terrible customer service and an awful place to get your sweets. I ordered a cake and they wrote a boys name in pink. When I asked to have the cake remade because of the error they made they blamed it on me and told me I would be charged again, and when I asked why would they write a boys name in pink if I didn't clarify it should be pink they said "because that's the world we live in how do we know". Which doesn't even make sense. We asked for a boy cake regardless and the lady there wanted to argue. This was the worst experience I've had with customer service. They wanted to charge us again for another cake even though it was there mistake. They will not go to any length to provide good customer service. read more

I grew up in Lincoln Heights, right down the street from Williams Bakery, and we used to love to ride our bikes down there to get the BEST and freshest donuts around. Wonderful food and wonderful service! Check it out! read more

Williams Bakery is by far the best bakery in the Southern Indiana area! I have grown up on their donuts and birthday cakes. The cakes have that "old school" butter cream icing that has just the slightest crispness when you cut your piece of cake with your fork. The white cake and chocolate cake are both just delicious. They also have donuts that beat all the competitors. Delicious crispy edged glazed, amazing chocolate long johns and renowned apple fritters and so much more. They always have big hand iced and decorated sugar cookies that go with every season. Pies, bread, buns, cupcakes, anything your heart desires. Last thing I want to recommend is their butter biscuits. 1 dozen comes on an aluminum tray and they are the perfect addition to any meal. Buttery and soft and delicious! read more

This bakery is a little treasure trove, tucked away. The apple fritter was fantastic, and sticky bun just the right amount of sweet. Though the interior looks sparse, you can tell it's family run with care. Helpful and friendly staff. read more

Before I begin, let me preface that I've been a Williams customer for as long as I can remember and I've always had great experiences with them, but I was highly disappointed this go-round. I ordered 2 dozen cannolis for Christmas dessert and when I went to pick them up, they only had 1 dozen because they "misheard my order," and charged me $33. I was thinking, "Fine, whatever, but these better be the best cannolis I've ever had." Lo and behold I get home and find that the cannolis are filled with WHIPPED CREAM. I was so upset because I've always had great experiences with Williams and this was the biggest, most expensive, letdown ever. Do not order their cannolis! read more

Grew up a couple blocks away from Williams bakery. They have the BEST DOUGHNUTS in the world. Hands down! Their buns are absolutely delish and their cakes and pies are to die for. We moved 20 mins away and I will drive back just for their doughnuts because no other bakery compares. read more

They did a awesome job on my sons birthday cake . The taste was so good ,fresh and moist and reasonable priced .I will differently be back

Maple bacon long john and large coffee for me, fried chocolate danish a few donut holes and small coffee for Ben. This is how my favorite Sundays begin. We have a new tradition, and it is going to make me chunky but oh so happy. read more

I had a friend with a birthday that was coming up and I went to Williams Bakery to have a specialty cake made. My pal is a fan of well crafted beers so the folks at Williams Bakery made a cake that looked like a can of Budweiser beer. OK Budweiser isn't exactly a well crafted beer but it was all about the joke. Williams Bakery did an excellent job in making a cake that looked great and tasted great. Thanks read more

I have lived in this area for 33 years and these are hands down the best donuts out of all of the options. It is in a unique area - appears almost like a residential street. Get the caramel iced honey bun with peanuts on top. Delish. Great service too! read more

I had mini chocolate cakes with white icing and covered in chocolate icing! Omg it was amazing! I have a huge sweet tooth and these cakes were pure perfection. I also have had the sugar cookies and they were amazing also! I highly recommend this place for your sweet tooth craving! read more
