Reviews of Long's Bakery
Lynda N
Heard about these famous donuts and obviously had to give it a try. I can definitely tell you they’re AMAZING. So simple yet delicious without the crazy $$$. They’re baked fresh daily and tend to get pretty busy so I’d recommend making the stop in the morning/ early afternoon.
Pat Lood
Pretty good overall experience. Was going through Indianapolis and heard about this place, so I had to give it a shot. Quick service with great prices. Paid a little over $9 for a dozen of mixed donuts. Just know that this place is CASH ONLY. If you don't have cash, their is a gas station right across the street that has an ATM. The donuts were good but are a tad on the small side. They had some nice texture and of course it was sweet. They make cakes here too!

Long's bakery has been a staple on the west side for decades. The glazed donut is by far the best in town. They also have a wonderful variety of other classics like the cake donut, also with icing the Long John's, jelly, cream horn's, apple fritters, brownies, I mean this place has everything. If you want a great donut and your on 16th Street. By all means stop At Long's. I find that the best time is between 1-2 pm not so busy. But other than that this place is crazy busy and you'll have to wait but The ladies behind the counter are super friendly and super fast. So have your cash in hand cause that's all they take here. But believe me... it's worth every penny and worth the wait!
Kristin C
The best donuts out there. The cinnamon fried and the glazed yeast are my personal favorites, but I’ve never had anything that wasn’t delicious here. Cash only. We went around 1pm on a Saturday and the line wasn’t bad and moved quickly. The woman with purple hair who helped us was really friendly.
The Dining Grandpa
Nothing about this trip will be easy. Parking is lousy, But oh my goodness this is Indianapolis’s best donuts. The glazed donuts are the best you’ll ever eat. And the apple fritters are my absolute favorite. This place will not disappoint. The line is long, the parking is horrible. And when the donuts are gone, there gone. Worth every bit of the trouble. Get here early for best results.
Lydiana Garcia
Excellent donuts. Staff friendly. 16th St. Location is IT.😋😋💖 …
Dr. Larry W. Lewis
To me, this bakery always has the freshest, best tasting offerings. I frequent their quality locations whenever I visit Indianapolis! Customers are greeted with friendly professional attention by wonderful personnel.
Robert Heider
Long's always reminds me of the bakery my grandfather and I would walk to for donuts on the weekends, when I was a child. The donuts are just as I remember from that time. The staff is always quick and friendly, sometimes too quick as there is so much to choose from. The only downside to Long's is they only take cash, something I rarely carry. That said, when I have cash on me and I'm in the neighborhood, Long's is always a must.
Elmer Diaz
I came here a few times. Last time I stopped here it was a rude old lady in the front taking orders. It was at least 3 years ago, since that day I said I will never comeback, but today my daughter wanted to tried this donuts and it was great experience, it was a Spanish lady on front very kind and friendly, also another lady was helping out and both of them are ver professional employees. For sure I'll be back.
A Thompson
Here is heavenly fresh baked goodness!!!! These are THE best donuts ever. Even with a mask on we could smell them in the air outside. This place has been in business over 50 years in the same FAMILY. It's the best ever, don't forget cash only. Hands down the best baked goods anywhere.
whispy Games
Awesome doughnuts yeast doughnuts are made fresh daily if you get them warm they taste even better. They have various brownies like the peanut butter chocolate (shown), German chocolate , and two others. long johns are good. The only thing that is expensive there is a gator which cost $3 for a short one and $6 for a large one. The apple fritter taste good they now have Cinnamon and glazed twist. It is normally busy there (it's because it taste so good)
Andy Hall
A staple of the Indianapolis Donut Scene for decades. 2 great locations. Id be shocked if Longs Bakery wasn’t voted the best donut shop in Indy, if not the entire Hoosier state!
GAMERBOY RICHBOY
Longs will always hold a place in my heart.
Been eating here since I was a Baby.
I'm 48 now.
Moved to Florida and when I visit I make sure I stop here to get me some yeast donuts...

Aaron Austin
First time customer today. Great donuts, fast service, friendly staff, and good prices. Will definitely revisit in the future
Amber Stine
We were immediately greeted with a good morning and a smile by staff. The aroma of freshly baked goods smelled like a dozen of lit scented candles. It was very hard to choose what to pick. And the cost was way cheaper than any other donut shop I've been to recently. A must try for anyone in the area or traveling through, just be sure to have cash because they are CASH ONLY.
Carmen Tinner
Best donut shop in Indianapolis. Cash only and you can call and pre order to avoid the long lines. Standing in line is worth it.
Jennifer Shields
The best darn donuts ever. My husband didn't want a birthday cake for his birthday. He wanted Long's glazed yeast. Woke him up singing happy birthday at 6am. Just so he could have a warm Sugarland ( glazed yeast donut) in his mouth. Love their powered yeast also. All there goodies are good.
Jessica Conley
I'm not a sweets fan but the doughnuts are pretty great especially when fresh and hot. We made a doughnut cake for my bf son and the lids loved it. The customer service is great the staff is very personable!
Natalie A.
Obviously an Indy staple! . . . Last week I had to order six dozens for a meeting at work . . . LONG'S CAME THROUGH WITHOUT A HITCH! The kind woman who answered the phone (I called Wed. for a Friday pickup) was courteous, efficient and knew how to communicate. When I picked the order up Friday, everything was correct and ready to go. My guys devoured the donuts within two hours...I'll definitely be back for my big orders.
Jared H
If you're lucky enough to get these guys when they're hot and fresh they'll literally melt in your mouth. They dough is soft with a bit of chew to it, they're great. Cash only
Denise Hodges
I used to stop at Long's bakery coming from school back in 68! It was good then and it's still good today. My aunt and uncle lived on the west side of town but I went to George Washington so we had to go downtown and then transfer that's when I found out about this wonderful bakery.
THE EHMER FILES
So when I'm in Indy this is a must stop for me and my wife. She loves the Blueberry cake donuts. I can't get enough of the hot glazed yeast donuts. The Mary Ann's are so good it's crazy. If I lived closer I'd be there every day maybe twice a day.
Chris D
This is an absolute gem not far from downtown. The staff is delightful and welcoming. They are very helpful with us newcomers and helped us through the menu. Wonderful donuts and the carmel Alligator is excellent - worth the trip!
Viraj Patel
Excellent donuts at very good prices. Got 6: yeast, chocolate covered yeast, blueberry, applesauce, cinnamon, and apple cinnamon. All were good but the best we the blueberry, yeast, and chocolate yeast.
Patrick Bass
Absolutely amazing! Come for the experience, leave with the sweets. Hometown feel with fresh, HOT donuts as well as a great selection of goodies. I hope life let's me come here again one day.
Ya Sabes
Came by for my first time and it was intense. Go knowing what you want. Bring CA$H! No credit. I felt like the Soup Natzi episode on Seinfeld, because the line is long. The difference is they have friendly help. I had a sweet lady help me as I did not know what to order. She was patient. I could hear a few behind me huffing. Don't let it bug you. I ordered a half dozen of Boston cream filled. Very good! You can ask for warm donuts and I'll do that next time!
Tom Ransdell
These are the best donuts in the world and they have tons of sweets to tempt you. They only take cash but have an atm on site. Parking is challenging and if you're there warly then be prepared to wait. But if you're lucky to get a box of yeast donuts hot off the fryer then you will be convinced. Just try not to eat them all on your way home.
Forrest Brem
Dude, these are some killer yeast donuts, best around and I've tried a lot. City classic for a reason. The other baked goods are great too, especially the Mary Ann and the cream horns!
Kamarre Robinson
This will ALWAYS be in Indianapolis staple! The only thing I wish they would do is start allowing credit card purchases as I feel they miss out on a lot of corporate money not doing that. A lot of businesses only work off of credit cards and don't have/allow petty cash. I remember one contractor I was working for wanted to place an order for hundreds of donuts for all the workers on a job site and was unable to because they did not accept credit cards. That lost business goes to competitors whose donuts are not nearly as good. Its 2022... time to adjust the business model.
Waddell Hamer
Thus place has been the delicious diabetic kryptonite of Indianapolis for generations! I just can't resist! Will it likely send me to my grave early cause of it? Yes. But will it send me there with a smile? Also, yes!
Michael Johnson
Everyone has their favorites, but I've never met anyone who didn't like Long's donuts! I called in my order on Wednesday for an early Friday morning pickup. When I arrived about 5:20 am, there was already a couple of guys in line. By the time they opened at 5:30 am, the line had grown to somewhere between 5 and 10. My order was ready, the staff was very helpful and friendly as usual, and the recipients were thrilled to have donuts to start their day! Unfortunately, I don't have any photos from this visit, but have some previous ones that I will try to add in the future.
Rhett Hildebrandt
Amazing donuts. The yeast ones were light and airy. The chocolate was thick and creamy. Some of the best donuts I've ever had
Sarah Thomas
First time visit. Pretty good donuts for Saturday at 8pm. It was busy. They were out of a few things. Apple fry was my favorite. Haven't tried the jelly yet. I was told they're better when fresh. Still yummy and very sweet. Went well with coffee too.
Gus powell
The very best donut place in indpls hands down. Grew up on longs bakery donuts. Well here they are right in front of your eyes. If you don't get there early. The line forms and it forms fast and long. Enjoy!!!
Leanna Abdelmaged
I grew up in Indianapolis, but haven’t lived here since I graduated. It was a family tradition, ever time I came for a visit, my grandfather would get a box of Long’s. I moved back to Indy over the summer and couldn’t wait to get Long’s. This was my first time standing in line and purchasing a box of glazed for my family. The line was long but moved quickly. I was disappointed that the donuts weren’t warm BUT they still tasted just as I remembered. My only regret is that I got a dozen instead of a half. I can’t stop!
Rollow Timmossie
I've been eating longs donuts for a lifetime. I don't go there much because they're too good to eat often. Gotta keep that A1C in check..
James & Kim Turpin
These doughnuts at this longs wasn't bad or mind blowing. Cash only , and not much to choose from. Wish , I would of gone to the lafayette rd location. Where I've heard it us alot better.
Tiffani Jones
Everything in there, Tasty- Tasty - Tasty, yum- yum delicious. The bakery has been around for years and will be around many more. Awesome place for a sweet tooth 😋 …
Mr. Kinetik (Mr. Kinetik)
It's Long's. The staple bakery of Indianapolis, known for amazing doughnuts. Cash only and be prepared for the possibility of a long line. But it is worth it.
Keith F
Not sure how I have lived in the city so long and never had Longs.. I can see why this is such an Indianapolis staple. Absolutely Devine! I am so glad that I chose to get a "sampler" of what they offer, as well as a dozen glazed yeast to compare to all the others, A+. Longs is definitely now a family staple.
Charletta Simmons
I am writing about Long's Bakery. I have pics I posted from the outside because it is ALWAYS crowded on the inside. The staff are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable about ALL OF THEIR PRODUCTS,
There are not just donghuts, but almost everything you could dream about, like visions of sugar plums dancing in the children's head's. LOL.
There are also alligator cakes, they make Mexican Wedding🧁🍩👩⚕️ Cake cookies, and my favorite the longjohs with a cream filling. ( YUM YUM ). I bought 12 the last time I was there, and only got to eat 2 out of 12!! My husband and great nephew saw to the rest. I cannot blame my family though, due to their softness and wonderful taste. The only thing that makes it a little harder for me is because it is ÇASH ONLY, NO CHECKS OR CARDS.
LONG'S BAKERY WITH ALL of its cakes, cookies, and doughnuts is worth having to use cash instead of card. I will try for more pictures of the inside next time,
I WILL. BE GOING. BACK. FOR. M O R E !! LOL.
Teresa Hines
Melt in your mouth donuts 🍩 light and airy. A wide variety to choose from. Absolutely the best donuts hands down. …
Christina White
First time having longs donuts! Not too much of a line today, probably because it was cold. I've been told lines are out the door. Great service, delicious donuts
Manpreet
The best donuts in Indy but remember they only take cash 💵 😐👍🏼 …
Shirley Green
Ohhh, I drove all the way from the Eastside to get me some Long's Bakery donuts and I was not disappointed!! So delicious I want more!!!🥰😍❤ …
Nicole Quinn
I was asked by my oldest daughter to please pick up 2 dozen doughnuts before I drove back home 2 1/2 hrs IT WAS SO WORTH IT♥️
Emily Rosenquist
I've heard of this place from friends and it did not disappoint. As a more recent transplant, I can attest this is worth driving for! I got some seasonal cake donuts and was absolutely thrilled with all aspects. Applesauce cake donut, pumpkin spice cake donut, and blueberry cake donuts were all top notch.
Charon Richards
I got there late (shortly before closing) and they still treated me very nice...speaks a lot to their customer service. Staff was amazing. David was so nice. I'm not from the area and heard this was THEE place to go. The bar was set high and they exceeded my expectations.
Daniel Buckley
My son had to take me there to experience the best donuts in Indy and they were.
Elena McFadden
The donuts are absolutely great!! They are a very classic kind of donut, but the dough stays crispy and the creme filling is fabulous. Definitely worth a trip. The prices are also very low! They only take cash, so bring some $
Juan C
Best donuts in the city. Every time I come home I got to get myself some.
Elizabeth Smith
I've been hearing about Long's Bakery for a long time!
My grandma who is well into her 80's has been going
here since she was younger. Do not be dissuade by the
outer appearance of the shop- for it is a GEM of a place
located in Indiana! My friend and I got 1/2 dozen donuts
(2 cinnamon twist, 1 Apple fritter, 1 blueberry, 1 glazed
twist, 1 chocolate covered Bavarian creme) and it cost
me $6.20 for ALL. Definitely loved the blueberry donut. I
usually just get chocolate donuts but I think I saw
another Yelp review where they raved about the
blueberry so I decided to give it a try.
Bradley Sneed
The baked goods are outstanding, the cash-only policy needs to go. While their donuts were great, they are still not, in my humble and seemingly solitary opinion, the best in Indy.
Christina Nieves
Best Donuts 🍩 in town! No other donuts can compare. Can never get tired of eating Longs donuts! …
Shannon Coe
Don't forget that it's CASH ONLY. Good donuts are always delicious. She didn't get my order right so be sure to watch. I'm a lifer at Long's Bakery and will go back.
THE BROS
My absolute fav bakery!!!💃🎂🍩💃Only giving them a 4 cuz they don't wear gloves, they use the paper, and the ladies nails were gross. Love em tho! 👏👏👏 …
Linda Rootsey
My husband and I search for delicious local donuts everywhere we travel. Longs bakery is the best of the best and hire the friendliest employees! The trip across town is a MUST every time we visit Indy. Recently came across these pictures taken way back in 2003.
Anna Eldridge
Their donuts ect. are to die for ...so addicting. I wish I had some right now... Lol. You might have to wait in a long line,but you will not be disappointed.
Dr. William Starsiak
This place has been here for a long time. I would come her as a child, 30 years ago. It's staying power is a testament to its consistent quality, as is the line to order. We waited about 20 minutes to order last time we were there, which gave me enough time to run to the ATM across the street to get cash, they don't accept anything else. I went with a glazed twist, and it was delicious. If you want donuts, this is a great spot to get them. They also make cookies and cake, but I haven't tried those. It is reachable by a path that follows the white river that originates at riverside park, so it makes a great stop along that walk that can take you all the way to downtown.
Doug Clements
I am from the area but moved away years ago, so I hadn't stopped by Long's in a ... well, long time. With restaurants reopening, I decided to stop in for some donuts from my childhood. Aside from the socially-distanced line, it was the same I remembered from my last visit. The yeast donuts are definitely their best, but only when fresh. To be honest, I have found no good way to reheat them without the dough becoming gummy. So only get what you'll eat in a day or two. All of the other filled donuts are okay, but nothing spectacular. Overall, Long's donuts are very good for reminiscing about simpler times, but (and this may be blasphemous) I think there are better donut shops out there for the price (and that also take credit card).
Kelly Erbeck
These are well made, very soft donuts. However, they are too sweet for my taste. But the biggest negative is the location. I did not feel safe leaving my car parked on the road outside the bakery. So my husband went into the store and I stayed in our vehicle. Thus, I didn't see/select the donuts myself which is the primary reason for 3 stars.
John Jordan
As a visitor to Indianapolis I had read about Long's Bakery and had to try it for myself. UNBELIEVABLE donuts. The glazed cinnamon roll was the single best bakery treat I have ever - EVER - had in my life. Ever. Their chocolate donuts - oh my, so good. Can I give them more than five stars??
Todd Maki
Donuts are amazing. The area is a little sketch but well worth it.
Olivia Snyder
In my opinion, the only donuts worth the calories! My favorites include the Blueberry Cake, Boston Creme and Classic Glazed. Echoing every other review, Long's is cash only and the line can (and will likely be) out the door, so plan accordingly. That said, staff are friendly and work quickly. If calories didn't count, I'd be here every weekend. HAH!
Jesse Gonzalez
In my humble opinion it’s the best bakery in Indianapolis! Yea sometimes it gets crowded and line is long towards the sidewalk but they have very great service that get in & out. I really recommend you should at least try some of their delicious donuts and pastries.
Sarah Le
It's Long's bakery it's always good! Was there at noon on Sunday and still got warm yeast Donuts!
Gail Austin
Just as good as they ever were since I was a child.. and the most delicious I ate every one of them
Pam Kinslow
W. 30th street Long's Bakery...dont drive by it...you're missing out on the best donuts in Indy. Cash only!!
Kayla Rybolt
Great donuts always hot and fresh 😋 great staff, long lines are expected!!! …
jim payte
This little donut shop will take you back in time... Standing room only! Walk in, tell them what you want, pray that they have some "hot" ones available, pay with cash... Go to car, stuff face..
Heather Kemmler
Fresh, but unremarkable. And they don’t take credit card. And the donuts have long names but aren’t labeled. Meh
Michael Gould
For all the hype it gets, it was a disappointment. The service was good, but the donuts are just fair.
NaturaLadi B
Cash only. No debit or credit cards. Oh and and blueberry cake doughnut... tender and moist, they just melt I your mouth.. I prefer them over the classic yeast doughnuts..
David Grant Lee
Really great donuts, best in Indianapolis. They are busy as hell first thing in the morning but the staff is insanely efficient and always get me through unbelievably fast
Amber Miller
Donuts are amazing, just wish they took card and the lines weren’t long.
Richard Pellecchia II
OMG!!! Super delicious 😋 I'm from New Mexico, and I have never had pastries like this! Got a cream horn, the filling was unbelievable, almost like a marshmallow cream. Also got a fried cinnamon nut doughnut, absolute heaven. Where have you been all my life?!? …
Brian Langley
It's been several years since my last visit and the donuts are smaller now. Great selection of bakery treats.
Cash only establishment.
Sus H
Made a point to come here from Plainfield just to get glazed donuts while visiting from Florida. Still the best warm glazed donuts anywhere.
James Johnson
Best donuts in Indiana👍
Especially when they are hot. Just be sure to bring cash, they only accept payments in cash. Sometimes you may have a wait, due to long line of customers but, that just shows how good their donuts are 🙂 …
Rhonda Harper
I love Longs and have been going there for the best donuts for as long as I can remember. The donuts are still amazing but not as light and airy, or greasy like were years ago. Still one of the best place for donuts in Indianapolis!
Angela Mosteller
The quality has been consistently top notch since I was a kid and that was a long time ago! I've been eating donuts from Longs over 30 years. Prices are more than fair and staff is always so nice. Love me some Longs!
Grant Helms
The pilgrimage to pay tribute and honor the holiest of all donuts ever made ends right here at this sacred Haughville institution. Arrive as early as possible to get the freshest, most delicious donuts around, but do not under any circumstances forget to bring cash.
Gina D
On our recent visit to Indianapolis we stopped by Long's Bakery specifically to try their cinnamon fries. I had checked Alton Brown's best donuts list and wow, he did not disappoint! We tried the regular and the apple fries, both were amazing! If you are in the area, I highly suggest stopping by!
Ann Brown
Best yeast donuts in town. Cash only!
Dana Whitten
Longs is a must visit when in Indianapolis. The best of the best for donuts.
Bill Burton
Still good doughnuts, but there are better bakeries.
jahsoulin marley
Love the warm fresh yeast donuts and the Apple fries are GREAT!!!!
Consistent deliciousness
Tolga Ercan
Overall pretty good donuts here. They're known for it so not shocking that they are not bad donuts. I won't go so far to say they're the best donuts ever, though. They are just pretty good. Some Hoosiers would have my head for that but that's just how I feel about the donuts. Still, 5-star for the donuts. They will not disappoint.
However, the boxes and packing is somewhat disappointing. Last time I got a half-dozen box that included one Bavarian creme and a jelly donut along with three regulars. The Bavarian creme, by the time I got home, was flat as a pancake. It had somehow collapsed in. All it's chocolate icing was attached to the jelly donut as they had not put in a paper to separate it either. The donuts were wedged in the box a bit too tightly. So the Bavarian creme was basically horrible and the jelly was now chocolate iced. :( I would have hoped a place that's been doing this for decades would have this figured out by now and either have flat boxes or bigger boxes with paper in between iced donuts to prevent sticking. We still ate all the donuts (I have teenagers, they eat anything) but I was disappointed.
Also note: this is a cash-only business. No CC. I made the mistake of stopping by once without cash and had to walk right back out. Nothing more disappointing than getting excited for donuts and walking out empty-handed. I think in this day and age, not having CC payments is really not OK. Even if you charge a premium for it, I would've happily paid it. When you do cash only, it just makes me think they're trying to evade taxes and makes the place feel shady. Please add CC payments.
Hugh McLaughlin
Stopped by this long standing establishment. I gave it 5 stars because I like donuts and baked goods. No shortage here. The staff was patient, helpful and friendly.
Met a gentleman today when I was in line waiting for my turn. He had been going here since he was 4 years old and was 69 now. He said the neighborhood had changed for the better but the bakery was still the same. If you are in the area and need (Want) a donut or baked good stop by and make a purchase.
Elaine Baumann
Kept hearing how great these doughnuts are but I'll be honest I didn't think they were anything to write home about!
William Kelly
Had to stop while on that side of town and there was not a line. Still as good as I remember.
Susan Baker
Oh my!!!! It was recommended by several people, and ya'll did not disappoint. I went while I was there visiting and ordered a variety of things to take home with me, and it was awesome!!!! Will definitely be back!!!!!!
Divya Mahalingam
Don't get the hype . It was just normal tasting
Robert bickel
When in the neighborhood, i must stop and get a few delicious doughnuts. These prized sugar discs call out to me and i do heed their call. They still don't accept cards but that is just fine with me. {{How long must the prez and his admin bleed us dry?}} /get on gab\
Doodle1987
The donuts were great, the place was packed as always!!!
Whitney wsaani2326
My only problem is them not taking credit cards. They make plenty of money to have one.
Linda Ware
Still a good Bakery after all these years but 40 years ago I would have given them 5 stars
Randall Asbery
Besides it taking an hour and a half from the time i left home to the time i returned from getting the doughnuts. They where great the best doughnuts in a long time.
Jeannie Frame
I went kinda early expecting hot yeast donuts, but they were cold. 😞 …
KJ Wheelhouse
Took my mom here for the first time, she wanted Krispy Kreme’s but not while staying on the west side. She loved the fresh warm yeast glazed, we both eat two before pulling out of our parking spot. She thought I was crazy getting a dozen glazed and half a dozen cake, until she tasted them. The warm glazed yeast just melt in your mouth. Thinking about them is making me hungry, going to have to wake up early and make another doughnut run in the morning.
Laura Lim Prescott
The best doughnuts in town! There pumpkin spice doughnuts are my favorite. But remember: cash only! (Thankfully, it's inexpensive.)
Rhoda Martin
They were friendly... However they only take cash and the ATM at the gas station across from their wasn't working. So we could only get one Eclair. And it was good.
Theresa Paolucci
Donuts were so soft you would think they would melt in the sun. Delicious. Jelly donuts are so good they really don't need glaze on them.
George Dante
A little hard to believe this place doesn't already have a million reviews. This place is legendary in Indy. Cash only. Everything here is good. I do the chocolate cream filled, the plain cake, or even the eclair. There is nothing here that is mediocre. Give these people your money.
kiki bailey
Love this places prices are way too expensive now.
Mia
The best donuts I’ve ever had all across the state. Nothing compares❤️great yeast donuts!!
The Concrete Man Johnson
Hot and ready when you get there. There may be a line, but believe me it's worth the wait. Always friendly service and as the line moves forward it gives you a chance to network with others. I wish I had one on the Eastside of town. I'll be back for the jelly donut next time.
Eric Zmuda
Best donuts in Indiana! The warm raised donuts are the best. The cake donuts are the moistest I have ever had. Super fresh! Make sure to bring cash.
Aaron Gorski
Smaller bakery physical size wise but the baked goods are absolutely fantastic and the ladies all seemed super happy and pleasant. There was a line to get inside in which I'm going to assume is a very normal thing.
Is definitely worth the stop if you're in the area!
Jaime Rogers
The best doughnuts I have had in or out of the country. You have to try the yeast doughnuts hot! They only take cash no cards. If you come while the doughnuts are hot expect long lines. I hope this helps with your doughnut adventures!
E. C. Mack
The glazed doughnuts 🍩 were the best. Delicious 😋😋 we were impressed …
Jae Leigh
They make a great smash cake and their donuts are amazing.
Joshua Laak
Long's Bakery is one of the greatest equalizers in the state. it doesn't matter what your background is you'll stand in line with patrons from all different walks of life. as long as cash is green you can enjoy a box of hot yeast donuts.
10/10 would recommend.
Andy Sirianni
This is your classic cash only bakery of old. They have a decent size menu option, with something delicious for most people. When we arrived the line was pretty long and only got longer, even though the service was very fast. The donuts were fresh and tasted great. Prices were reasonable and competitive for what you get.
Bayne Sims
Everytime we are in Indy we must stop at long's. There is most always a wait but it is worth it. Heads up, don't bring your credit card, cash only.
Nthosjeans
Very congested place but the line moves pretty quick. Despite being very busy the workers were very nice and helpful.
Mary Ezell-McClerkin
Was in town visiting with my boyfriend and he said I had to try Long's!! OMG the best bskery ever. I will definitely be back when I come to town to visit. So fresh. The staff is wonderful
Abner Gomez
Fire! 😊 Absolutely love them. Been going for years. Probably over a decade now lol I definitely recommend the yeast donuts. But make sure you get at least a DOZEN because they are too delicious. You'll see! Be prepared for a long line, but don't fret! It moves along very swiftly. Also check out the music video made for this place...that's how much we love them here in indy ❤
Steven Bean
Remember it's cash only but awesome donuts. Best in the city.
Krystal Crawford-Zimmermann
Best donuts in the world, hands down!! If you want to treat yourself...you go to Long's! This has been a staple in the Indy community since before my life began. And, to be honest, my life never truly began until I had my first donut from Long's. Don't let your life go unfulfilled, get you some goodies at Longs! We ❤️ Long's. ...and I don't even like donuts. 😳
Gloria H
Lovely place to visit!
Absolutely in love with the cinnamon fries. Amazing prices for the size of all of their baked goods. It’s frustrating to visit other places and see $4 cupcakes. The lines move fast so it’s well worth the wait and there’s a line on either side of the bakery so be sure to check which is shorter if you’re in a hurry. Cash only and there’s an ATM in the gas station across the street if you forget. A cool place to get a quick snack.
Theresa Dickerson
Always delicious!!!
APPLE FRIED and BLUEBERRY CAKE ... YumYum
Ebony Prince
I believe these are the best donuts in town. Staff is always friendly and facility is clean. They only accept cash. No uber eats, grubhub, or doordash and as busy as they are I can see why.
Jennifer Ever
Most amazing donuts and very reasonably priced.
Fedor Andreev
Interesting choice of donuts. Cash only, though!
Pete Jimenez
We stopped in on the way to Maryland. I had heard this place was good and you had to get there early or stand in line. We got there right after they opened and whenever we left there was a line forming outside. Everything in the bakery is outstanding. This is going to be my regular stop when in Indianapolis.
RealtorClaireAnne Aikman
Always delicious. always. And the crew is always delightful.
Slot King Dream
I have been going to this place for 40 years...Best bakery in the city always stopping when you can and tell them you want a dozen yeast... It is cash only and they have undercovers for security very cool place get in get out
Jageer Chhina
Just visited the bakery and met Patting (a kind woman working there) she was the best!!
The cupcakes were amazing and clearly the staff was a well.
Great vibes.
Check them out :)
Lori Henson
Drove in from out of town for these donuts. Fresh and super yum!! Still had a good variety mid day. Staff was kind and attentive, even funny as we all joked around.
Was also informed you can call your order in a head of time to be sure they still have everything you want when you get there. How great is that!!
Renegade_TX2000
Why eat cereal? When you can have longs donuts?
DJ STS
A MUST TRY ESPECIALLY IF YU ENJOY TREATS SUCH AS PASTRY
Graham Campbell
Cash only. Line can be long. But the yeast donuts are amazing. Also the apple fried is great. Kind staff and an iconic place.
Tony Ayala
I came from Chicago just passing through to Nashville and decided to stop. I am glad I did and didn’t get discouraged by the line. These donuts were perfect! There were different types that I don’t see all in one place and I get down with donuts. I will be coming back just for some of these again.
tracy anderson
I dream of working here. They are the most delicious donuts ever, and they have YEAST ones!! We drive over 2 hours away to get these donuts! Well worth the drive and will continue to make the drive.
Brett Hayes
Tradition for generations to get donuts here, which is the best in Indy in our opinion. The fry donuts are out of this world. If you have the chance get yourself these donuts.
Josie Fields
The donuts were great and the price was reasonable. They had a good selection. Two major downsides are tied together; first it's cash only, as a result there were panhandlers in the outside that would chase people to their cars to pressure them into giving them their money. Didn't see anyone get robbed but it definitely put us on edge.
Lana Noel
The tastiest donuts I’ve had… I’ve had Pana, dragon…, Kristpy Kreme, Jacks…. Another I don’t remember the name of these are still my favorite. I don’t like the location. I will still come here to get my donuts. I dont care I dont care…
Christopher Ovelton
I love this place. I grew up in Indy, and I've lived in 5 states since, but this place still has the best doughnuts I've ever had! Must stop here whenever I'm back in Indy (and remember to bring cash)
Edwin Knouse
Brought in out of town friends,great service but cold yeast doughnuts ?
Sadia Arif
Best donuts in town
Mike Elmore
First time visit to this place. The experience and the doughnuts are well worth the stop. We would definitely stop again when we are in the area.
Nik Taylor
Best doughnuts in the City!
Rich Stew
Love their Apple Fritter donuts!!! Stopped in there today because the guys in the shop wanted donuts. Our boss decided to treat if I went. The answer is always yes, if someone else is buying 😀. Saturday morning at Long's around 9 am, I figured it would be crowded, but to my surprise NOT. In and out, in around 5 minutes. Got back to the shop on South Meridian with 2 dozens of mixed donuts in 35 minutes. Great service and donuts.
Gloria Bond
This was my first time going. Other family members usually go. They have some of the best doughnuts in town. Recommended, just make sure you have cash.
Doc weesner
Been getting the BEST yeast donuts from here for 30 years but when I bought a dozen on 8/23/2021 I realized the donut has changed considerably & not for the good! This used to be the lightest, airy donut with a light glaze of icing that flaked off at the slightest touch. Now it’s just average & like what Meijer & Walmart bakeries put out - more cake like, heavier, and the glaze is poured on extra thick & stays sticky. This IS NOT Long’s donut! I hope they go back, this is just another donut & certainly not worth standing in line for.
Holly Brown
My hubby goes by 6am/615am on the weekends and bbbaaaabbbbyyyy (yummy to my tummy) lol 🤞 they are so warm and melt in your mouth. They say anything worth having is worth the wait, beware of the LINE lbvs....it can get long at times, BUT they get ppl in and out #HighlyRecommend …
Gary Crabb
Long's Donuts are the best donuts anywhere. Great selection of pastry items. Everyone of them delicious!! My favorite is the chocolate long John's with the white cream filling!! And the yeast donuts are awesome!!!
Loraine
These are the best donuts I've ever had, period. They melt in your mouth. Bring cash! Long's is a treasure. The employees have been polite when I've gone there, they just weren't bubbly and smiley. The donuts are reasonably priced and I've never had a donut that even compares to there yeast glazed donuts.
Troy Brown
Great donuts at good prices. I see why this is a staple.
Olivia
They were on top of it! Got there at 5:45am and everything was out and looked so good. Bought 3 dozen of different types of donuts and they are all so soft and good! Highly recommended!!!
Matt
Some of the best donuts around. Probably the best yeast donuts for sure. The alligator cakes are awesome!! Great value for the price. But ill spend a little more to get tigertails at the compilations shop.
Mary Owens
Purchase dozen yeast and applesauce doughnuts 🍩😋 those are awesome! I surprise my daughter for her birthday. Those were her sweets. The irony of it all, there was no outdoor line!! I was extremely happy 😊 and could not believe. Now 👌 where are all the donuts to die for!! 😫 I have not had in years!!!!!!! 😋😋😋😋😛😛🤔🤔🤗🤗 …
Annika Eggen
One of if not the best doughnut place in the entire state and the wait to order is 100% worth it.
Tara Thomas
They have good donuts.
Joshua Dukate
Longs has been my go to breakfast spot for years they have just about any donut you can imagine. Plenty of options for the picky eaters, fast and courteous staff. It helps to get in there a little early but you can get hot glazed yeast donuts anytime. If you have a hungry pack of kids or just grabbing some donuts before work you cannot go wrong with longs.
Dawn Worthy
Before I go any further, I need to let you know I am a long standing, dyed-in-the-wool, "me love you long time" Krispy Kreme fan and there's nothing you insane Indianapolis loyalists are going to do to change that (so stop picketing my house!).
That said, Long's Bakery is a very nice bakery. It's clean, the staff appears to be well practiced regarding hygiene (No hands that touch money touch food). They have a diverse array of offerings in both their donut and bread selections. They have an enclosed glass case presentation which limits the impact of flies in the warmer seasons and sneezy kids that can't turn their heads fast enough in winter.
Depending on what time of day you go to Long's the wait can be off putting because of the aforementioned fanatics but I guess that's the price you pay for choosing a local icon to dunk in your coffee. However, if you know you're going to be tight on time and your picking up a box for the office; calling ahead is an option that will take some time off of your wait. All in all, although not my first choice for donuts, it's definitely a strong second and I don't have any reservations recommending them.
There! I said it, now can I have my kid back?!
Scott Sherman
Indy favorite hidden gem! Love this place. Cash only tho so be prepared. Then be prepared to be wowed and not be able to resist having just one!
Chad McClellan
I have stopped in here for donuts many different times over the past few years, and they always seem to have the freshest, softest donuts that taste like they just came out of the oven a few minutes prior to my arrival.
The ingredients they use are some of the best tasting I have had anywhere. The prices are normal for donuts. There is usually a long line of people as this place stays very busy and is well known to the locals in the area.
Even with the constant line of customers the staff seems to always be pleasant and helpful. If you have not tried their donuts I highly recommend that you do.
Javier De Dios
I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I don't get the whole legendary status. Its great, don't get me wrong. Always long lines, but worth the wait. Donuts are amazing. Maybe it's because I'm not originally from around here, but everyone always puts this place up on a pedestal.
I mean; I guess.
Paul Gaddie
I have been stopping here on Friday mornings for a long time. They have hands down the best yeast donuts in town. If you get there at the right time ask for them hot. They are even better. As for the rest of their donuts, I really like their cake ones. They are always moist and they have a big variety. The rest of their options are very good as well. The only down side I would see is they only take cash.
Kelvin robinson
1st time there. Nice little joint n very good prices. Doughnuts I had were very tasty! Employees were nice
George Webb
Grew up eating here. Will ALWAYS make a trip here whenever i come back to indy
Terrie Kay
Long's Bakery is absolutely the best. I live in Missouri and go to Long's at least 4 times a year. Their products are the best pastries and baked goods ever. Their glazed yeast doughnuts are the best flavoured and freshest I have ever eaten. And the alligators are to die for. Both locations are unassuming, convenient and clean. The staff is professional and efficient, allowing the long lines to move quickly! They're my "Fav".
Donavan Jackson
Classic, I've been loving these since I was a kid
Rhonda Ayers
I can't find the words I gained 2 lbs but worth it , hot yeast donuts , Carmel donuts , seasonal so hurry, German chocolate and pecan brownies , the best part my hubby got sugar free turnovers
Brenda Marion
I always love Long's. My son and I were on the way home and he asked if he can stop and buy his own doughnuts...if course the answer was yes 😉 There is always a line but they efficiently got him through and he smashed his 1/2 dozen donuts. Long's...an Indianapolis tradition that never gets old. 5+++ stars! …
Rob Artz
These are some of the best donuts in Indy. The only people that "don't like them", are just spiteful that they too far way to gets these on the regular. Sometimes there is a line that goes out the door and down the street.
Craig Betts
Absolutely hands down the best donuts ive had in Indianapolis...so fabulously fresh every time and a dozen is $5 cheaper than Jacks donuts. You are depriving yourself of one of life's yummiest joys if you dont indulge in Longs!
Gloria Pettigrew
If they could move just a little faster in the early morning
dysheka gilbert
This is a beautiful place if you have a sweet tooth they have a lot of different varieties of cookies cakes and donuts. I'm not just saying this because I'm fat I'm saying this because it's true I don't even like that because I am a diabetic but go try it. Great customer service very fast
STEPHANIE ESTREMERA
this place is the best bakery i have ever been to in my entire life! i always make sure to stop by here when i come to Indianapolis. sometimes the lines can be pretty long, but once you get a few donuts from this place you will understand why. it is worth the wait! so good!
Amanda Melanson
Great donuts, friendly service, and not expensive!
Michelle C
So good! EVERY time I go! They stay open late too!
Tabitha Gresham
Deliciously Fresh! Friendly, funny staff and a short wait at 6am on a Sunday. Love love love Longs!
Gi G
A must when I visit the city. Their pastries are out of this world. Sometimes there can be a line that extends outside so bring an umbrella, if the weather calls for rain. The behind the counter people are good at what they do, so the wait is quick. Be prompt, as there are people behind you. They've been waiting longer than you have.
James Bradley
Always great donuts. Stood in line for 1/2 hour and it was worth it
H Wms
If you have a sweet tooth you'll love this place. Best donuts in town. Always a line of people waiting to buy bakery items, but worth the wait. Takes about 10 minutes to get to the order counter. Cash purchases only. Open seven days a week.
Donnie Jordan
Longs bakery has delicious donuts probably the best donuts in town. Expect to stand in line for 15 to 20 minutes also they advertise on the wall that it's $4.44 for a dozen donuts when I ordered a dozen donuts of various types they charged me $10.50 because I didn't order the same kind I didn't get a deal for buying a dozen I think that's a rip-off and it's not right buyer beware
Holly Souders
Donuts so good. Long lines but move fast. Worth it
Joshua Walker
Was with someone who bought a few doughnuts. I didn't. Didn't even get one of the doughnuts that he bought. I did ask ask if they make a "bacon doughnut" ? I was informed that they do not.
Jay Ball
Phenomenal. My friends took my wife and I when we visited Indianapolis last week and it was phenomenal. Yes, you should be prepared to wait outside in the heat due to the social distancing parameters allowing a limited number of people in at a time. Also there is no indoor dining (at least not currently) and they only take cash. Otherwise the doughnuts and cookies are excellent and very fairly priced!
Drew Brucker
Visiting from out of town and this place came highly recommended. The donuts were great! They were so great that we came back twice during a weekend stay 😂 …
Dnrothx
The goodies here are quite good. Don't expect all the bells and whistles that are at fancier places, but what they do focus on is yummy -- even their plain glazed cake donut.
Wallace Flowers
I have heard a lot of things about Long's Donuts. I heard that they are the best in town. So I have really wanted to give them a try. So today being Mother's Day, I decided to get some for my wife. I ordered three glazed, a maple and a blueberry cake donut. The place had a line out the door! I highly recommend Long's Donuts to anyone who is looking for a quality product 😀
The Rileys
Long's has the best donuts in Indianapolis, they are the best donuts I have ever had. I have been going here for many many years and would drive far to get them. The lines are long most of the time but well worth the wait. They only take cash so know this ahead of time... we are moving far away soon and Longs is one of the top spots I will truly miss from Indy. Keep up the good work...
John Green
There's a reason for the long Long's line. I have yet to find better yeast donuts than Long's... The other Long's baked goods are also excellent. The goods are 5 star quality but I hate that they're cash only. One visit I forgot they were cash only after waiting 20 minutes in a long line and if it wasn't for a friend in front of me to pay for my goods, I would of had to leave to go to the ATM machine... pay ATM fees to take out money.. then get back in the long line at the very back... that would of truly SUCK... and I would've did it to because I traveled from way on the other side of town just to get Long's... I understand the reason for the cash only is to save costumers money for the charge that the card companies charge business for using credit/debit cards, thus forcing the businesses to either eat the cost or pass the cost onto the consumer by increasing price of the goods. I think the remedy for this for Long's would be to offer a discount for costumers who pay cash (current price currently) & regular price (increased cost for Long's to accept credit/ debit cards). That way the customers who would need to make a trip to the ATM before going to Long's aren't paying the higher ATM fees than the smaller fees added to their Long's goods. The question Long's needs to ask is how many customers have they lost because of their cash only deal for those who don't want to get robbed by ATM fees or those who have cash but realize once in the business they want more than what they have cash for and only buy for what they have cash for. If I was the business owner that question would keep me awake at night.
Sarah Vine
If you've never had a Long's yeast donut while it's still warm, I feel sorry for you. There's a reason why there's a line forming before the place even opens at 5:30 AM. I don't know why they're the best donuts I've ever tasted, but they are.
Michael Schroeder
Best donuts in Indy in my opinion. Without a doubt best donuts for the price. If you are ordering them for your office or something to pickup and take in the morning or for a weekend event I highly recommend ordering them the night before. Then you are guaranteed they won't run out of what you want and all you have to do is walk in pay and leave.
Teress Judd
Best doughnuts in Indy!
Jeremy
Longs is one of the only reasons to get out of bed early!
Jean Davenport12
Always has been the best place to buy donuts. Tonight, I drove from across town to get here ☺️.
Royal Tjhornton
Great Doughnuts....Kinda long slow line. Goes out the door and down the sidewalk. I'd imagine most wouldn't wait..for the ones that do...We are probably old customers and know its worth it. Ive been coming here since the 70s.
BTW if you, or someone you know wants a job they are hiring NOW. 09-14-20
nichelle liddell
So made they didn't have a big selection this evening I STILL LOVE Y'ALL
Carla Raposo
Best donuts I've had. They're truly amazing and worth stooping by. The price is ridiculously low for what you get. We were surprised by three things though; the location that isnt so great, they only take cash and they only sell donuts- no physical place to sit once you buy them.
If you enjoy good coffee with your donut, they only have filter coffee there so it's not the best to go with their delicious baked goodies. I'd still recommend this place for a take out and would go back over and over.
Teresea Black
Little wait...but Well worth it!👍🌞🌞 …
Theogony Lord
First time going and it was such a great experience. I love the smell and the staff was so nice. The donuts were amazing, freshly baked at 6am and still warm when I got them at 6:30am. If you've never tried Long's donuts you're missing out. 😋🍩😁 …
Ryan Noel
Had to get that donut fix with some Long's bakery. Best donuts in the city. Even when they're lined up out the door, always well worth the wait. Cash only guys cash only
Troy Posey
My favorite donut spot in the city! Applesauce & Blueberry cake are delicious 🤤! They always have a lot of options to choose from. It's cash only, be prepared for a line, but definitely worth wait! …
Mena
Delicious donuts! If you're in Indy, this is a must. Be prepared to go early in the day, or be prepared to wait in line. Long's is extremely popular, but this is moreso because their donuts are so good. I would recommend the apple fry, cinnamon donut holes, and the blueberry cake!
Lauren Martinez
The BEST donuts in the city! Nothing beats Long's and I've tried a lot of other donut shops. Are they fancy? No, nothing fancy. Just incredible classic donuts! What more do you need? The plain glazed is one of the best things you'll put in your mouth. Then they have lots of options to choose from. Blueberry is great and so are the cinnamon round donuts
Ashley Wise
Longs is the best around, hands down.
Abe M.
Long wait sometimes, but well worth it! Every other donut shop in Indianapolis should just shut down, they can't hold a candle to Longs. If you're really luck, you'll get a batch of hot donuts, right out of the fryer. If you're with more than one person, I highly recommend getting more than one dozen, heck, I can take out a dozen by myself! Great eats!!!
David&Heather Ice
Awesome donuts. Always fresh. They fry several times a day. Always busy, but line goes fairly quickly. No seating, it's more of a take out place.
LorraineC
My Grandmother brought me here when I was about 5 or 6 and I can remember that today because it was the BEST DONUT I ever had!!!!!
They are FRESH, MELT IN YOUR MOUTH, BEST TASTING, VERY AFFORDABLE, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
If you've never been there you have got to Give It A Try....
THANK YOU LONG'S for so many years of YOUR WONDERFUL BAKING!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!
Jason W.
Long's never disappoints! We were in town for Ironman Pro Motocross and had to make sure we stopped in before heading back to Michigan. Cinnamon Frieds are delicious and they have a super friendly staff! A must go to if your in Indy!
Monica S
Best donuts in Indy BAR NONE!! The fact that they continue to thrive as a CASH ONLY business let's you know ... they are the REAL DEAL! Simply the best! I live in Fishers, but whenever I get within a mile of Long's, I'm searching the car for coins so I can stop in and get my west-side fix! ;)
Desi Slayer
I dont understand why the lines are so long. They're cookies , cakes and donuts aren't worth the wait.. but shipleys are well worth it.
Deja Sturdivant
Love the doughnuts here. Everything I have tried is wonderful! They are cash only so just remember that when placing orders 😊 …
Kara Boucher
THE BEST DONUTS! Definitely a must-visit!
Beth Stutler
Awesome Donuts and sweet treats! Reasonably priced! Fast friendly service! I would definitely recommend this business to others!!!
Michael Oconnor
Donuts and assorted pastries are amazing . Food is definitely worth you’re money, time, patience . Only thing stopping me from giving this place 5 stars is the customer service (sometimes) is lacking. Some rude employees attitudes but it’s all masked by those damn good donuts . Hire better help keep up the good recipes.
Christy Panchot
I used to really enjoy their donuts but the donuts I purchased the particular day were the worst donuts I have ever had!
Lakeshia Adkins
I love the donuts here. I always get Yeast. My other favorites are the cinnamon fries, apple sauce cake donuts, blueberry cake donuts, the decorative cookies with sprinkles, chocolate cake donuts, I love when they have the pumpkin spice cake donuts in season as well, the donut holes are good too. So many choices!!
Sandra J
These donuts will stalk your thoughts once you start thinking about them... Apple-cinnamon fried, yeast, custard filled, jelly filled, yummy!! Cash only and expect a short wait, day or night. Staff attends to customers orders quickly so it never takes to long. Worth the wait!
KITs McQueen
When the yeast donuts are hot and fresh, they are melt in your mouth amazing. You have to find the time when they are fresh and not going through a shift change. The Bavarian cream, jelly and cake donuts are delicious too. The line can be long at times with very little parking but it's worth the wait. Cash only!
Todd B
I don't get it. Nothing against this company, but the donuts weren't any better than you can get anywhere else. Also the variety was not that good.
Antoine
The best bakery is the city they only accept cash. But it's worth the drive sometimes you have to ask for fresh cookies the cookies are hard at times but overall the place is great
Roger Brown
Best donuts ever been going there for about 20 years and never had a bad visit
Clayton Barns
The best yeast donuts in the city. Worth the wait in line every time!
My only complaints are lack of parking and cash only. The POS is very user friendly for customers to see what they're paying for so they may be moving in a card friendly direction.
Renee Mathews
Love this place. Always fresh donuts cup cakes and much more. I'm Always there can't get enough. Also the best place to get a Birthday cake. Must get one u will not be disappointed trust me. It's just the line sometimes but they move fast fast
Ms. Z R
The doughnuts are good, but nothing special. Not sure why there are so many rave reviews. The line was out the door but moved quickly on Sunday morning. Cash only!
Sherry Rady
Best doughnuts in Indy the stuff dreams come from. If you get the chance to get a hot yeast doughnut you will never want any other doughnuts ever again
Daniel Vandersall
There are bakeries. There are donut places. A lot of them. There is only one Long's. This is the apotheosis of donut making, the ultimate point where no further improvement is possible. The texture is worthy of finest french masters, the taste is pure sugary cocaine.
Park somewhere on the street; it will be full. prepare to walk a bit to the even longer wait inside. You will stand in line. There is always a line. It is worth the wait.
This business is cash only; a box of their incredible yeast donuts, the staple, is a little over 6 dollars. For a dozen of the best donuts you will ever taste, this is a bargain. If you live in Indy you know this place. If you visit, this is one of those food gems, the local treasure.
Shawn Hunter
I've never in all my life had donuts better than this place!!! You can get fancy with all of the other selections they offer, but it's not necessary. Their yeast is toe tapping, hip swinging, head bobbing kinda good!!
Dick Luchtman
The BEST donuts in the WORLD! Not just for our family but for our neighborhood Historic Meridian Park cleanups. Many come for the donuts and work the rest of the day! The place is a classic. Always a line because EVERYBODY wants them. Call ahead for faster checkout.
Emily Romeril
Eating that donut was a spiritual experience. Best donut I’ve ever had. I can’t stop saying “wow”.
Kareema Boykin
Hands down this place has the best donuts in the city and maybe the world. Lol
Make sure to get a fresh yeast donut because they are delicious and yummy. Everything is great. There is always a police officer near by so go when ever, day or night. The lines are usually super long but its worth it and they go pretty fast. And the prices are normal, not expensive. If you have a large order, call it in the night before and they will have them ready the next day AND you don't have to wait in line. Just go to the cashier and they will get you checked out.
Oh.....they only take cash.
Kelley Cook
Its a great local business! Go get FRESH FRESH baked goods here... There is so much love in their food!
Jesse G
I visit Indianapolis for work often and I always make it a point to come here for a half dozen glazed to take home. The line is usually long but it moves quickly. The staff is friendly and the donuts melt in your mouth! Lord help me they are delicious. (4 stars only because I haven't tried the rest of their pastries)
Oh, and CASH ONLY. Remember that.
Andy Rogers
Best donuts I've ever had. If you can get them got make the trip you won't be disappointed. The glazed always hit the spot. Although you can go wrong with the cheese danish, Apple fritter, cinnamon fries, or brownies.
Liv Knight
If you're ever in Indianapolis, Long's Bakery should be the first place you go. It's small and you'd probably miss it if you're not paying attention, but that really adds to the charm of it, kinda like it's your little secret place.
The info on the bakery's history is a great addition.
The staff is very patient, especially since I was so engrossed by all of the options they had.
Of course the sweets are AMAZING!!! The brownies and blueberry donuts are out of this world. Did I mention it's cheap? I'd give 10 stars if I could.
Janet Reynolds Bullens
Long's is an Indy icon. Of course they are famous for their donuts and they are delicious. One of my sisters highly recommends the blueberry cake donuts! I am going to suggest picking up some brownies while you're there because they are awesome!! They have the best brownies I have ever had, even better than when Rosalyn bakery was open and still good.
CAUTION CLIPS
Gave me a free donuts 🍩 great customer service will come back definitely and the the donuts are the best. …
Heather Martinez
Absolutely the best donuts in the northern hemisphere. Always fresh always melt-in-your-mouth delicious great prices the only thing you might find an issue with ever going here is that they are usually busy. With donuts like these though it's worth the wait and it should be busy
Kyle Dahl
Overall: Simple, delicious, and down-to-earth - a must-have for any donut fan in Indy.
The good: There's no crazy concoctions here or "limited time only" flavors, just the classics that you know and love. Which means that they can focus on quality and delivery. The plain yeast donuts are great, and everything was fresh and delicious, but our favorites were the twists (glazed and apple-cinnamon). The atmosphere is home-y and humble, and the service was friendly and not pushy when it came time to order.
The not-so-good: I've heard that the lines can get incredibly long, which would hinder the experience for sure. We waited 10 minutes or so, but 20 or more would be reason to wait another day. Also, the cash only aspect of it is a downer.

Best blueberry cake donuts
Kalamity Deschain
Came here because of the reviews - was not disappointed. Loved the cinnamon sugar donut holes the most. Here's what we got for $10:
12 cinnamon sugar donut holes
1 brownie
1 peanut butter brownie
2 cinnamon fry
1 cream filled
1 jelly filled
1 blueberry cake
1 chocolate cake
1 apple cake
All very good. The cake donuts aren't sour cream cake donuts, but they are still soooo good. They also have cookies, cake pops, and all kinds of donuts.
Tim Springer
Good bakery w/ delicious doughnuts and other great baked goods.
Lori McKinney
The best donuts I've ever had, and the staff was great. I will definitely return soon.
Nick M
1st visit. Everyone raves about this place, so decided to visit. I ordered an apple sauce/cinnamon donut, and a pecan roll. Delicious! The associate was very nice and helpful. I was unsure about the apple sauce donut, so she let me sample it. The service was very quick, in and out in under 5 mins.
Mark Taylor
Visiting from Cleveland Ohio for a basketball tournament and wanted donuts Saturday morning, seen the line and glad I stopped. Glad I had cash on me also because they don't take cards.....well worth the short wait
Kelli Webster
Don't get me wrong Long's Bakery has the best donuts in town. Love the donuts!!! I just didn't appreciate the employees attitude no smiles, looking like they just didn't want to be at work. Just make up your mind and get out was the impression I got. And I was the only customer in the store. Really didn't like that.
Dawn Still
The best hot fresh donuts!!
Rachel Vellenga
Wow! This place was amazing! At first it looks like there isn't a huge variety but every single thing my group got was delicious. We got a Mary Ann at the last minute to share amongst us and boy am I glad we did! It is like a high class ding dong and soooo yummy! There was a line of customers of all ages and races (who know a good thing when they taste it!) but it moved quickly. Staff was friendly and helpful. This is going to be a regular stop when I'm in Indy.

Best donuts in town haven't been here in 10 months only because I'm watching my sugar intake but I wish I could eat these everyday 😊🍩🥮🍩 …
James Weightman
Sorry I wasn't impressed with this place at all. I understand that it's supposed to be the best donut place in Indianapolis. But there isn't really a big selection to choose from. I understand that it is a small "mom and pop" place. But I have been in other similar places. At least one that is even smaller !!! And had a better selection.
cameron russell
One of theeeeee best donut places omg I will always go here for donuts ...
Mylissa Compton
Best donuts in town! Just looking at them you gain 5 lbs. The blueberry cake donuts just melt in your mouth. I also like the yeast donuts as well and when they are still warm........oh Lord!!!! I would definitely recommend coming here to satisfy your sweet tooth but be sure to bring cash. They are a cash only business, there is an ATM across the street if you find yourself at the bakery and no cash on hand.
Body Bag Boy Dutch
Best donuts in the world!!! I live a few minutes away from this donut shop and the fact that it was a few minutes away I had us leaning more towards a purchase of a home great place to go I purposely moved by it!
I would give it 10 Stars if possible the glazed yeast Donuts are amazing! everything's amazing but start off with a glazed yeast just to know what a piece of heaven tastes like!
Stache 7h
Wow wow donuts. The yeast are the boom a must have. The rest of the donuts are yummmmmmmy. Know the lines can be long and it is cash only. Did I say cash only?? They do it all but the yest are WOW. Even warm is the super yummy. Oh I have seen Cops here many times.
Darrell Pierce
Long's Bakery has been there off of 16th Street since 1955, and for the last 64 years has been gracing Indianapolis with the best donuts the city has ever had.
Never a disappointment, they're always warm, fresh, and the line for them always goes out the door.
They take cash ONLY, which makes it even funnier that it's never been robbed. I mean, who's gonna rob a place that would have an entire city looking for you?
Inexpensive, and positively delicious, they only reason you may find yourself going somewhere else for donuts, is due to their single location.
Missedchance 317
What can you say? Always excellent for decades
John Terry
The donuts and pastries sold here or always wonderful there always fresh if you go early in the morning you can get them while they're still warm. Just remember that they are cash only they don't accept credit or debit cards. So bring your lunch money and you can't go wrong here.
Connor Ray
Absolutely incredible stop for donuts. Not only are they delicious, but they are super cheap! The only downside is that the location is cash only; they don't accept checks or cards. I really think it's worth the minor inconvenience. I recommend the cinnamon fries, the yeast donuts, and the glazed twists. They have a huge selection that has something for everyone, and none of it is bad. I have not tried any of their cakes or other bakery items, but they always look great!
Danton Harris
Great bakery! Long's is an iconic West Side Indianapolis bakery! Famous for their doughnuts that are made fresh daily, and are delicious! The only reason I didn't rate this awesome bakery at five stars is that there is often a lonnnnng line, which can extend out the entryway and wind all the way down the sidewalk alongside Tremont Ave. to the end of their building! It's a very popular place to get your doughnut fix! I highly recommend you try Long's Bakery for their fresh doughnuts and other delicious bakery items! 👍🏻👍🏻
benny18777777
Long's bakery has a wide variety of cake and yeast Donuts. Their signature Donuts are there yeast Donuts and they are very delicious. They also have a variety of brownies and cakes and different kinds of pastries including cookies. I would highly recommend Long's bakery. Be prepared to stand in a decent-sized line though because they are very popular for their donuts however their staff is also pretty fast so you won't be standing there long regardless of the size of the line.
Lynda Barton Kirch
The lines are SO LONG to buy bakery goods here - and for good reason: the goodies are worth it! We haven't had anything not worth having again, and we've had lots: the glazed donuts, chocolate iced cake donuts, apple fritters, cheese danishes, eclairs, cream-filled donuts. Everything is delicious! Go get some!
Joshua Howard
Best donuts in Indy, be sure to bring cash as the establishment doesn't take anything else. If going in the morning be sure to get there early as a line normally forms. Don't let that deter you from going though as it moves quickly and the donuts are well worth it.
Catherine Heiby
We absolutely love Long's Donuts! My favorite are the glazed yeast donuts & my grandkid like the double chocolate cake donuts, I ordered a dozen of each! I have to watch eating wheat but I enjoy seeing others eating them! This time I found a parking space close to the shop & the line was very short...it was a great day!
Sarah M.
Always will be the best bakery FOREVER!!! I grew up with this bakery. And it is worth every penny I put into. People should know that this is old school, so all the haters don't come here! The donuts,cookies, and pies are the best, the neighborhood is not going to harm the business ( all of those know that Long's is respected in the neighborhood), and who cares that they accept Cash Only. That's how it should be! That's old school for you! So anyone who says that this neighborhood bakery isn't for them, then go back to your original fake bakery and leave the legend ALONE!!! #LONG'S FOREVER!!! It's an Indy original!!!
Q A
Slightly different from what I remember. Still good .
Tommy Hunter
I'm not from Indy so I had heard how legendary their donuts were. Pretty darn good but I'm not sure if they have anything on Krispy Kreme. I'd cheat on my diet and go back. As everyone knows donuts are the devil. 😁 Thumbs High! 👍 …
Donovan Hill
Still wish they would take cards
Trina Perkins
Always love going there. One thing though... need a bigger space.love love love tge donuts!!!🥰❤🥰 staff is nice also …
Jennifer Anderson
My family and I absolutely love Long's Donuts, they have the best tasting yeast and I love their whipped cream filling in the long donut sticks, my Mom loves their Bavarian cream and my son loves the vanilla donut sticks that aren't filled. And their prices are good for what you get too!!
Kaldur Skipper
Long's is by far my favorite doughnut shop. Though I've heard the lines can be long, they always go quickly whenever I come. Great quality, service, and I love how they aren't expensive either.
Brent Augustus
The yeast risen donut... AMAZING! Its best while they are fresh, you can microwave them for like 7 seconds the next day and they are still pretty darn good.
Great selection, everything is wonderful and delicious!
Brandon Coston (Rubb3r Duck01)
Donuts were fantastic as always. Their yeast ones are the best. I argue you cannot go wrong with buying a half dozen for yourself. They are also reasonably priced. Stop getting CC and just buy these.
Jennifer Flake
This place has always been amazing. Delicious donuts with a great price. The staff does a great job at keeping the line moving too.
Joshua Ashbaugh
I've been buying Donuts at Long's Donuts for many years. Their donuts are always fresh and always delicious. They have a wide variety of donuts. I think the prices at Long's Donuts are better than just about anywhere else. Part of the reason for this goes back many years period Long's Donuts only accepts cash. Most probably this keeps their overhead costs low. They translate the savings to the customers. It doesn't matter which location you visit, there will definitely be a line. Sunday mornings are the longest lines of any day of the week.
Pat Beasley
Great donuts but don't buy anymore than you will eat in a day. They could really do with better parking or a drive up window,😁 …
Catherine Garcia
Best donuts in Indy! I go to the downtown location. Never been to the southside one. Parking can sometimes be a pain. Normally when the lines are long, they get people in and out. You can only use cash which is sometimes a pain because I almost never carry cash. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Place is clean, and the yeast donuts are LIFE. Going to Long's is a treat.
Will Fields
I go crazy for these donuts. Was home for a week and at over a dozen. Have been going since a child and haven't had a thing that didn't taste amazing.
This is a must if you are in Indianapolis even for a day. Stop by and get anything.
They are CASH ONLY. No ATM.
Jessica Surber
Best yeast donuts I’ve ever had. I’m not just talking in Indianapolis or Indiana. I’m talking best in the country. Nowhere compares to Long’s. The only downside is you have to get there early and get in line because they sell out quick. I decided to go one time at 8am and there were no more yeast donuts. I was disappointed but went back the next day at 5:30 and the line was already formed outside in the rain.
Nicole Hamilton
I loved the yeast flour donut❤️😍 …
Mary Cannon
There donut is delicious they melt in your mouth not in your hand.
RocketQueen94
What IS there to say? The BEST place IN THE CITY!!! Grew up coming here and I try not to be in this area much because I would like to keep my waistline, lol. Worth the wait. BRING CASH!!! If not, I think the ATM at the gas station next door will assist (while taking your left hand as additional fees, lol.)
Amy E
Oh My! There are no words to describe how delicious these donuts are!
It is so busy but so fast. People working are very friendly and can help with questions.
Everything we had was so fresh and tasty. My favorites were the vanilla long johns and the blueberry. Plus, donuts are between .55 cents and .75 cents. It is crazy!!!
There have no parking so you have to park on the street, but that stops nobody. Trust me it is worth it!!!
We will be returning.
Jack Leo
Perfection in pastry! The service is extremely fast and the place is clean and everything they make is completely delicious! My dad brought me here as a little guy in the late 50s. The flavor and pleasing appearance have everything they make has not changed a bit since then.
Mitchell Horton
Best doughnuts I've ever had. This is THE place for doughnuts in all of Indianapolis. The store isn't in the best part of town but I felt safe whenever I went in the morning. They have parking right in front and when I went (around 7) there was no wait.
Glenda Johnson
Good donuts. yum!
Patricia Percey
Love this place , donuts are the best
Connie S.
Excellent donuts! Very fresh & delicious!! Although the line was long, it moved rather quickly. Staff were very friendly & efficient.
Alexis
Can't add much more than what every one else has said, their donuts are delicious. Yes, i've hiked 2 blocks during a snow storm for their yeast & blueberry donuts. No, i don't need you judging me. A must try in Indy!
Nova “SuperNewNova” G
Wonderful donuts they don't they still don't take credit or debit cards. It's cash only at this point and has always been. Lithe cash only doesn't seem to affect his business it's still crowded even though I have to schedule my visits to days I have cash on hand that SUCKS. If you ask me it's a way to get around the it's really know or being able to tell how much money a business actually makes. I know people say oh it costs per transactions but for the amount of transactions he has he would be able to negotiate a pretty low per transaction rate hmmmmmm
Scott
Longs is a staple of Indianapolis. I grew up here but just tried the donuts for the first time today. All of the rumors are true. The donuts really are the best ones I've ever had. It is definitely worth coming over to Long's to experience their donuts.
Joshua Davidson
The best donuts in the city hands down. Polite staff and clean environment. The area is sketchy but worth it for their amazing fried artery cloggers.
Chad Naville-Cook
Impression: Small donut joint that is made for donut production. You don't eat here, you simply pick it up. Workers are fast-working and know what they're doing. If there is a long line, it moves relatively fast... however, there is a line in the morning, guaranteed, so arrive early.
Pros: Wide variety of all kinds of donuts. They carry both of my favorite donuts: glazed chocolate cake donut and glazed blueberry cake donut... so good! Donuts are nice and moist (sorry if you hate that word). They literally have every kind of donut you could want and have the ability to cater to whatever your needs are. At work we sometimes order several dozen donuts for meetings... if you do this though, CALL AHEAD. They will have it ready for you so you don't spend time in line waiting for them to fill it and they can fill it also as they are able and have it ready for you. They also have milk.
Cons: Parking is super weird. Their is a parking lot just to the east of the store.. but I don't think its really for customers. Pull into the gas station and just park there in front of the store (BUT NOT ON 16TH STREET!).
Conclusion: Great for picking up donuts for friends or bringing to work. If you want donuts just for yourself, they can obviously do that too.
Great for: large orders of donuts to go, small orders of donuts to go... notice everything is "to go". You don't eat them here.
Luke Beecham
Long's original glazed yeast, nice and warm out of the fryer, is an experience anyone visiting Indy shouldn't miss. Cash only and worth every penny!
ct ct
Great service. Always goes quickly. Donuts are🔥🔥🔥 …
Morrow’s Dreams to Reality
I always have a wonderful experience here! The donuts are always fresh and the staff is always friendly and fast... I don't know what the one review was talking about she saw gnats?? I've been going here for almost 10 years and I've never seen any bugs
A Go
Delicious food, better than most, if not all, donut shops. They only take cash, so be sure to bring along some. $8.88 for a dozen yeast donuts
Troy Harper
Always enjoy a visit to Longs 💙💯 …
Elliot Green
Best bakery in the world, just needs a better program to check people out. One more register would make the experience smoother. Besides that nobody can top these donuts!!!
Marv Iz
Long’s Bakery is where you can find some of the best pastries in all of Indianapolis and Indiana the long lines outside shows and tells it all definitely gotta pick and choose them original yeast glazed donuts the chocolate and powdered ones also the fried apple cinnamon buns is tasty too its best to go early in the morning because that’s when they serve the glazed yeast donuts fresh, soft and warm right out of the oven!
Candice Raysor
The best donuts in town the donuts are fresh and baked from scratch and everyone is going there it is busy but it has very good service 😃 …
Saundra Badger
When you go into Longs it appears that their reputation has gone to their head. I imagine how wonderful it would be if they had great customer service and excepted other forms of payment. I suppose a lot of people like the old fashioned attitude though. Donuts are very good!
Kelley Stephenson
Great customer service. No other donut is as good in my opinion
Amanda Kay
Been away for a while now... So glad to see that westside hometown favorite "Long's Bakery" sign shining bright in the dark night... **Inhales deeply
Thanks Indy. I needed that.
James Rowings
Excellent donuts. The workers push boxes, which are fine if they will be eaten right away, but w/o preservatives they go stale quickly in a box. Jelly filled are best, but stale the quickest, even I bags. And be sure the clerk keeps them flat--icing is fragile and can slide off if not flat.
AJ
Don't forget to bring cash only. I'm simple when it comes to dessert, so whenever I'm in the area I stop in to get a few plain yeast donuts. Surprisingly, the line was reasonable and moved very quickly during my last couple of visits.
Rodney Sr. “The Godfather” Van Cleave
Got pulled over for swerving after leaving this place. I just told the officer "Sorry, I was eating a Long's Donut" he let me go....50 years and counting, simply the best donuts in Indy. I get there early for the shortest line and freshest donuts. I have yet to find a flavor I don't like. ☺
Christopher Braun
What a special bakery. Great donuts. I love visiting every time I’m in Indianapolis.
Roz Rankin
Very addictive. Long lines, but well worth it. Most staff is very friendly while others need to find a new line of work. Longs is hands down the best doughnuts around. When locals see the white box, we all know where you've been.
Valerie Barham
We always stop here when traveling to Indianapolis. No matter what time of day there is always a line. But it always worth the wait. We always buy 2 dozen glazed to share with family and the are gone as soon as we open the box. Everything is fresh from donuts to pastries.
Jach Davi
I visited here from the Chicagoland area. I got a dozen of various kinds of doughnuts. I thought the price was excellent for a box of a dozen (I spent a little over $8) but thought that the doughnuts themselves were mediocre. I was pretty excited about trying this place because of all of the hype I heard about it while I was in Indy but I really didn't think that these doughnuts were that great. I've had better doughnuts from shops in the Chicagoland area.
Scott Whitecotten
My dad has been bringing Longs donuts home since the 1970s. Being firefighter working downtown made it easy for him to go by there. Then, straight west home. Today, dad calls just to say " hey, I got Long's" and of course, we all drop everything to run over and enjoy those melt in your mouth fresh yeast donuts! Lol The Best by far
Always GREAT always FRESH.
Love - to the baker's, the counter, and owners of Long's bakery.
Morgan C
My boyfriend and I were in Indy and I him told we had to go to Longs! He had wanted Krispy Kreme so bad and I told him this was way better. Donuts are super fresh and delicious! I love the applesauce donuts and the cinnamon fries donut! Don't forgot CASH ONLY!! Cheap fantastic little surprise in Indy!
Luke Ferrill
Longs bakery has long been my favorite and the best donut shop and cake shop around. My family moved to North Carolina a few years ago and anytime they visit, we are sure to stop by longs for some donuts and order their cake for any of our family events. I wish there were more of these around.
Simon BarSinister
This place wins for best donuts. For about 65 years Theyve been in the same place at 16th & Tremont since 1955. PLEASE NOTE: LONG'S IS A CASH-ONLY ESTABLISHMENT. Also please have patience, especially during this COVID19 pandemic. The employees are very dedicated to their highest-quality craftsmanship, and they work as fast as they can. The average visit will only be about twenty minutes, depending on the hour of the day, they have their rush times. They open very early, and there's usually a line at open. DO NOT BE DISRUPTIVE, DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE, BE NICE! They have a hotline to IMPD, who you can bet are more than eager to remove trouble, and there should never be a reason to call them. The folks running the place obviously are doing it right, considering how long they've been in business. Parking is street-only, again, pack your patience. YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH! If you've never gone, go!
J B
Always have to stop when in town... don't forget to ask for hot yeast doughnuts... yum
Jason Martinko
Ridiculous. Seriously ridiculously good. Your taste buds demand that you stop here for donuts and coffee. From Applesauce Cake donuts to Gators to Fries (like a cinnamon bun donut) every single thing I have tried has been excellent. Krispy who? Dunkin what? Bring cash as they are cash only.
Clarissa V
The best donuts in Indianapolis! Period. If you come in the morning, be prepared to wait in the long line. It is also a cash only business so be sure to bring some. If you come during the evening, they will cut you a deal on the remaining donuts left!
Theodore Whitecotton
Best bakery in the United States of America!!! Located next to downtown indianapolis this bakery is world famous!! The donuts here are amazing and always fresh. The prices are great especially for the amazing product you get!!! If you are in the Indianapolis area this is a MUST stop!!!
Levy TrapAlot
Best donuts in Indianapolis hands down be prepared for a line on Sundays the line stretches out of the door!
Steven C. Scott Jr. (sTeeVo)
Delicious, unbeatable taste. I have and anticipate many times will again wait in the loooong line at open for hot donuts from Longs.. Even though its a 5 mile out-of-the-way jaunt; its never been anything but well worth it!
Claire
I’ve never been here before, the staff was very friendly and even gave me a complimentary donut! Thanks guys.
Carrie Grenier
Longs has the BEST donuts in Indianapolis hands down. Great staff. They have 2 locations which is nice. Be sure to bring your money because they only take cash as payment.
Tonya Boling
The staff is very nice and don't rush you...the line is out the door, no one in line complaining about the wait. Fresh and Ifully stocked! My 1st time visiting was a plus. I will pick up donuts when I go back to Indy.
Anita Chaplin
Childhood favorite. The one on 16th Street is better than the one on the south side. Maybe because it's the original one. Love the yeast donuts. The fruit topped ones are good too. Cream filling could use lots more cream, please. 🤗 …
Michael Shanklin
,I'm 45 yrs old, my grandparents house in 1 block away. I grew up walking to long's and now I live in the same home. Although I don't walk around there I still stop by on my way to and from work for the best doughnuts in the world. I've had good ones, but none anywhere close to these. And if you're lucky enough to get them hot you'll never forget that taste
Tim Baker
It's a good donut bakery. Everyone seemed polite during my first-time experience. I wish it was longer because of my favorite donuts were on the back wall in the corner and I could not see and the only other thing is that they do not accept any form of electronic payment I.e. credit or debit cards and that bothered me because I showed up with my card and couldn't pay but luckily I did have cash on me but this is 2019, what businesses reasons are for not supplying electronic forms of payment in Indianapolis today, I'm not sure. But still good tasting.
Kori Boone
Best donuts EVER. So good. Plus They were well priced. The women behind the counter were very prompt and nice, also. They got people in and out, yet managed to still be courteous. Will be back!
Matthew Clemmons-Mitchell
An Indianapolis staple... ALWAYS DELICIOUS & SATISFYING!!!
Jay Hess
If you've ever been at Longs you already know what to expect. However it would be nice if they accepted cards. The donuts are 5 stars but I only gave 4 because of the no card situation.
Keturah Stewart-Rudolph
Legendary spot in Indy! If you are in Indy this is a #1 spot to go to and get the best doughnuts. CASH ONLY!
Bianca Phillips
The wait is worth it and the items are not too expensive. They ONLY take CASH! Get there early if you want something specific - once they run out that's it for the day. Their bags of butter cookies are perfect for when you are craving something sweet and sugary.
Bill Lynch
The best old fashioned doughnuts ever. Been in business for years, old school as heck, cakes and cookies are great, but for real you can't go wrong with the raised glazed doughnuts. There is a line out the door every weekend for a reason. I ran my first marathon in Indy so I could eat Longs when I finished.
Ryan Miller
Always great to eat a fresh yeast boy!
Sara Friede
Best bakery of my life in any capacity. Variety. Originally I reviewed jacks donuts as the best. This place is better.
Brownies, cookies, cakes, and specialty treats in addition to donuts.
CJB Akin (CJ Akin-Indy)
Got donuts for National Donut Day for my guys. Their donuts are good. I just hate going to get cash solely for the purpose of patronizing them. I rarely keep cash on me. Other than that, they are a staple that makes the bank or ATM trip worth it!
Fredrick Kendrick
One of 3 best bakeries in the city. VERY good product & ALWAYS fresh. A must have deal.
Devon Tran
They take cash only but thet are an amazing establishment. Best local bakery Ive had by far.
robbin taylor
No one can make yeast donuts as good as Longs. They are the best!
Chuck Swing
Meh only three filled donuts to choose from, nothing special here Boston creme, jelly and I forgot the other one. They taste alright not the best batter I've ever had definitely not as good as Munster Donuts in Hammond, IN I'm missing Chicagoland already.
Bryan Truex
It was great to take their donuts to share at my father's nursing home!
Nicholas Howard
Great donuts at a great price. Long's has some of the best donuts in Indianapolis and they are also some of the cheapest. Also, the staff here is always super friendly and I love to come here and just get a few donuts for the road.
Slut Jaemin
Love this location. Friendly staff.
Mary Soriano
Best when hot but love their donuts
Italia T
Freshest pastries I've had by far! The staff is amazing, downfall because their pastries are so delicious there is usually a line sometimes so long people are actually standing outside waiting to get in... The prices are low compared to DD or Krispy Kreme.... One can spend $5 and walk out with many different types of pastries or 🍩.. …
Cole Wilgus
Amazing doesn't do this place justice. From the staff, to the classic yeast, or apple fritter, or apple sauce cake donuts, just, just go here please if you are the one person in Indy who doesn't know about it. If you're visiting, screw all the museums and everything else, go here. Early. Wait in line.
Yvonne Francis
This place does really great business and have been around for a long. I didn't like the fact that it is so cramped for the business it gets and the hours that they are open. Plus the CASH ONLY is a downfall if you are from out of town, I had to go across the street to the gas station ATM and the fact that there is no parking available for all of its many customers is not a plus either. I had to park in the alley behind the establishment. If you are not willing to wait in line for 10 to 15mins then call ahead. Despite that the donuts are good. It will be awhile before I come back but I am coming back. Just bring cash and call ahead!
Mschievious Won
The yeast or glazed donuts is what everybody comes for - especially when they're hot and ready. But I also like the cinnamon swirl ones. One of the few places in town where social, economic, and racial barriers address left behind and people get in line in an orderly fashion without any didn't just waiting to get one of those donuts
Bea Loved
Not the same as they used to be but, still the best donuts in Indy! Called in an order still had to wait in that famous line of theirs! Donuts are not the same quality as they used to be though,they seem to be a little drier than they were when I was a kid! Still, I would rather have these donuts, than anyone else's in Naptown! I grew up on the westside location do my opinion is based solely on this shop! Give them a try you won't be sorry you did! Only reason I gave 4 stars was because of the wait after called in order, and because donuts were dry this time around🍩
Eric M.
I was born and raised in Indianapolis Indiana the first and last place I would go before I return to Georgia.
It will always be home to me when I eat a doughnut from Long’s Bakery.
IF YOU DONT MIND THE LONG LINES IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, THEY MOVE PRETTY FAST—Just have your order ready when you get to the counter.
Jenn Gadsden
I'm not from Indianapolis so finding Long's Bakery was pure chance... I'm glad I did!! It was a lil overwhelming because I was new there and it was hustling but the chocolate covered cream filled was yum yum yum YUMMY!!! They are cash only so be prepared AND I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I went at 10am on a Sunday and stood on line for 15-20 mins.... So worth it!
LIONEL E WOODEN
Donuts went so fast I couldn't get a photo. LOL also this is a cash only. If you forget there is a ATM. across the street in the gas station.
Tonya Kelley
ATTN: THIS REVIEW WASN'T MEANT FOR LONG'S...ITS MEANT FOR PANAS!! I HAD WALMART DONUTS THAT WERE BETTER THAN PANAS!! SORRY LONG'S...I LOVE YOUR DONUTS!!
The donuts are ok. I don't understand all the fuss over the donuts. The shop is nice and clean. Very friendly staff. They have a wide variety of drinks. I think they may have some type of sandwiches in the cooler up front where the drinks are located. It's closer and more convenient then Longs Bakery... but it doesn't even compare. Just my opinion. Panas does not put hardly any filling in there bakery items. I mean, c'mon with the jelly. Jelly is not a high commodity/expensive food item. And there's like 1/16 tspn, of Bavarian cream in the Boston Cream donuts. Why bother? I hate searching through the hole for the cream, just to discover no cream...very disappointing. But...if Panas would just add a little more fluff and stuff, I think they could give Long's a run for their money. If you go, try the apple donuts. No cream required
I think the drive-thru is an excellent idea. Should bring in alot of customers this spring. So.. c'mon with the fillings Panas!!
You Can Do It.
Update!!!! I'M NOT SURE HOW THIS HAPPENED... THIS REVIEW IS OF PANAS! LONG'S BAKERY ROCKS!! I APOLGIZE FOR THE MIXUP... I'M NOT THE EDITOR... DON'T KILL THE REVIEWER!!
Losttech Wetlights
I had a good experience it normally is a long line so that was to be expected but a cashier serving a family bin front of me was rude and mean cause they didn't speak English as a first language and obviously knew the cake donut they was pointing to but kept asking what donut are you talking about and please read the sign until the cashier that took my order asked if the wanted the cake donut I have never had a bad experience here but that event has tarnished my love of Longs
Leslie Sanders
Best donuts in Indiana.

Dounuts still have there good taste but they are slipping. You should be able to get them warm in the morning. Bringing that southside location mentality ain't working for 16th st. Quit cooking so many so early!

The doughnuts were good, the location was a little hard to navigate. Also, while standing in line to place an order, we were asked three times to move so the person sweeping the floor could get to where we were standing.

Absolutely the best donuts in town. Listed as a top 31 donut maker in the country by Thrillist, and top ten in the country by others, Long's is the king of yeast donuts. No hipster chocolate ganache and bacon donuts here, just pure, unadulterated, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. There is a line out the door most times, and its cash only. For a competitive cake donut, go to Taylor's bakery.

Long's Bakery is an Indy staple. Because it's so popular, there are usually lines in the morning, especially on the weekends. So give yourself some extra time there. Also, parking can be difficult sometimes, so you may have to park down the road and walk. So if there's rain or snow, be prepared to walk in it. Their doughnuts 🍩 and bakery 🍰🥐🍞 items are wonderful though. You'll definitely find something you enjoy. Happy Eating.

Best donuts in Indianapolis! Cash only, line moves quickly, they've got it all figured out. You don't last this long if you don't deliver the goods, and they do in spades!!

I am so glad that this place is still in business. University Pastry Shop (the cousin of this bakery that had the same donut recipe) went out of business some time ago. My grandmother worked there and may have managed to find the recipe one day in 1968 ;) Long story short the donuts are really good.

Love these warm donuts. Oatmeal raisin cookies are the best around. Love going in here at 5 am. When I'm in the area.

Warm glaze donuts always on point

Best doughnuts I've ever had as well as their brownies. Only downside is the long lines and limited space for parking and standing but they move fairly quickly especially if you already know what you want ahead of time.

Incredible how good a warm1/2 dozen yeast donuts can be. This is the best donut shop in the world. I was in sugar shock by the time I was home.

Best donuts ever and I've sampled plenty. The cinnamon fried and yeast are addictive. So sweet they make my teeth hurt but I like it!!

The things that I have heard about this Bakery made me believe that this was the best place ever............. I was extremely disappointed when I finally got the chance to go. The danishes were dry. The brownies definitely were extremely small and overpriced. The donuts were good but not to the point that everybody makes it seem.

The absolute best bakery in Indianapolis and the surrounding area. This is the ONLY bakery we bring in to work when someone incurs a donut violation. Get there early (before 630am) or else you will have a bit of a wait. And remember to bring CASH!

Definitely a MUST VISIT for anyone in Indy. I have traveled the world to many places, and I was raised in the home town of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and I will say without question that Long's doughnuts are in my very 1st place position, tied with Mr. Donut in Tokyo.
Long's baked goods are immaculate. Everything I have ever tried from there is absolutely perfect in flavor and texture. Fantastic 'old time' feel to the place with a small, no frills lobby. But be aware that they are in fact ***CASH ONLY***, however they are excellently priced. The neighborhood surrounding Long's on the west side can be a bit "interesting", so utilize situational awareness in the area. Lines can be long, including out the door onto the sidewalk during peak times. But, the line moves fast, and the wait is worth it.

The best donut ever! I take dozens back to miami every time I come in town! Totally one of places I miss the most. The blueberry donuts and the applesauce donut are to die for. Can't wait to visit my hometown, Indianapolis again so I can pig oit on the best donuts ever!

Love there confections! I love there blueberry donuts! 😋 …
Lisa Price
The yeast doughnuts are so good! But the wait is a bit long, maybe that’s why they call it that! Last time I went there was an officer on duty which was nice since it’s in a rougher part of town. Suggest you go during daytime.

Great bakery with delicious sweets. The line is always long so don't expect a quick visit. Also it is CASH ONLY. I had their jelly donuts, applesauce donuts and blueberry donuts and all 3 were some of the best I've ever had.

While I haven't actually been in to the bakery, I can put my head next the dozen that a coworker brings and imagine the wonderful smells coming out of that place. Long's classic glazed donut is very light and airy. It is on the edge of being almost too sweet, but I feel like it is less sweet than a Krispy Kreme original. I am always excited for Long's donuts and want to try a hot fresh one at some point.
