26 Best Donuts in Louisville

“The “tronuts” will make your eyes roll back in your head! Absolutely addictive! You’ve been warned. Plus the owners are lovely friendly folks!“

“This place is not to be missed if in Louisville! Ordered one of each of the vegan options and had them delivered via the Chow Now app. The vegan flavors rotate so you will have to call to check the selection before ordering. One the day we ordered we got a chocolate glazed with chocolate chips, strawberry sugar glazed, and powdered sugar. The double chocolate was our favorite but the other two were like eating a funnel cake...which is NOT a bad thing! 🤤.
P.S. The donuts are HUGE and although we didn't visit in person since we were short on time, the employees seems like cool people!

Dietary restrictions: Clearly marked vegan options that rotate daily“

“Stopped here today for a quick treat and I received wonderful customer service and the donuts were amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The blueberry was so soft and delicious & the orange frosted fruity pebbles were amazing 🍩“

“Been eating their donuts since 2010ish. Great place. Apple streusels are worth fighting a hungry bear over. And today they had apple caramel. It might be my new favorite.“

“Best donuts around! The lady that runs the place is always so sweet and kind and the donuts are delicious! Top Quality, Top Service. Everyone at my job loves them!“

“Best TRADITIONAL donuts in Louisville!!! Fluffy, soft, non greasy delicious donuts. Plus the owner is such a sweetheart! She asks about my family anytime I'm there without them. We love her and her business!!! Definitely a southend superstar!“

“Dear Jeff's Donuts. I regret to inform you, I can only give you five stars, just know you deserve every single star in the sky. I hope this letter finds you well. The day is Friday. January the 10th, year 2025. Today, Brooklyn and I decided to get donuts for us and the kids, as she wanted to start preparing the chili early. Dunkin’ Donuts was closed, and the order promptly canceled. We debated on making homemade donuts for a short time, before deciding to venture out and try something different. There you were. Shining like a lighthouse in a dark, foggy sea of plain looking donuts. It’s beacon of light piercing through the veil of confusion and blandness. The chaos of ordinary cookie cutter style donuts, never stood no chance, really. Upon inspecting the diverse list of offerings, something caught my eye. The Cherry Dream Long John. I must admit, I was hesitant at first. Cherry is something many do wrong. Alas, I could not resist my own curiosity. The craving for proper cherry took over and consumed my ability to control my impulse. I added everyone’s order, and sent forth the courier of deliciousness promptly to your location. I had to have it, and I had to have it now. A short time later, the courier arrived, carry what was quite possibly the biggest donut box I’d ever seen. It was then, at that very moment, I knew deep inside of me that these truly were going to be no ordinary donuts. I quickly flayed the tree pulp and adhesive bondage from the chest of donuts, with the utmost anticipation. Not knowing truly what to expect, but having the highest of hopes. I opened it with the utmost care. At first glimpse, I was overwhelmed. I immediately closed the box in disbelief and looked at Brooklyn. She understood from my expression, that this indeed, was no ordinary box of donuts from no ordinary donut shop. It took a second, but after the shock and excitement faded, I re-opened the chest of delight, and we handed them out. The kids got chocolate frosted sprinkle donuts, which were absolute behemoths. You could tell, they were iced in all of their glory and size, with care and intent. Brooklyn withdrew her blueberry donut. She was pleased. Then it was left to me. I picked up my Cherry Dream donut, and stared at it for a minute. Marveled by its creamy, fresh and delicious appeal. Almost entranced by the faint smell of cherry and freshly cooked dough. I tried my first bite, and immediately knew not many would follow, as I couldn’t contain myself. It was perfect. From the creamy, fresh soft icing, that was a perfectly balanced flavor profile of cherry. Not the overwhelming fake cherry that becomes too much to bear after the first few bites. The sweet, delicate taste of cherry done right. Just enough to leave you craving more. It was that profile, mixed with a soft, fresh, airy dough that had such perfectly placed and crafted air pockets inside that it couldn’t possibly have any other explanation than god himself, wanted them to be there. Alas, I had acquired the perfect cherry donut. Jeff, from my heart to yours. To you, and your crew of artesian donut crafters as well, I’d like to say thank you. Thank you for this experience that has filled me with so much joy. Thank you for these children, being able to experience what a TRUE donut, really is, in all of its glory. I could not recommend Jeff’s donuts enough. I must abruptly end this, and I am sorry. There is now a strawberry donut calling my name. I cannot refuse its calling. I cannot ignore its voice, like a siren in the sea. I cannot ignore its succulent temptation. I must indulge.“

“Great products. I just wish I could figure out when they are actually open. Then seem to close quite a bit.“

“Went in opening day at the new Lexington location. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Donuts are absolutely delicious. I'll be back for sure.“

“I’m writing a review on only the cream filled Long John that I purchased at the Fern Creek donut store. The first time I purchase this donut it was fabulous. There was cream completely through the donut and plenty of it so I didn’t mind paying $2.50. It was like the donuts were made in years past. I purchased a their cream filled Long John today 10/13/23 and was very disappointed. The cream was shot in each end and not much of it and none in the middle. Just like all the other bakeries do to the cream filled Long John. So Jeff’s cream filled Long John doesn’t stand out from any other donut stores cream for long John. Although their donut is a little longer it’s not any better and definitely not worth $2.50. Very disappointed won’t be returning. I’ll stick with my local bakery which is a $1.00 cheaper on a cream filled Long John. Hopefully someone in charge will see this review and go back to making them full of cream like they initially did.“

“The donuts are delicious! Always fresh, well made, and a wide variety of flavors and fillings. The owners and staff of the business are great - excellent customer service; Always fast, friendly and professional. If you are looking for tasty, fresh donuts and haven't tried Ek's yet - you definitely should. 😁“

“We've loved this KK location for years, but I had such an above and beyond experience today. It's my son's birthday so I went for birthday donuts, all the ladies were wishing him happy birthday, and Ms.Kim gave him extra of his favorites as a gift. It was just so sweet and special!“

“I love the teas here so much. they give you a great clean energy boost. highly recommend“

“Yum yum get you some!! 🍩 🍩“

“I live very close to here and my kids like to go over just to run around.. there is tons of open space and seating on the covered patio n outside area. I have eaten at Jeffs doughnuts, Bandits pizza and Bunz burgers (I haven't eaten here since Bunz has moved to this location but Im quite sure its the same delicious food) and all 3 are super delicious. Jeffs doughnuts is kinda pricey.. for a doughnut i mean and Bandits pizza and Bunz burgers has very reasonable pricing. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. I will for sure be back to try all of the other restaurants.“

“My husband and I stopped in the Westport Village location this morning. The baristas were amazing and very customer service oriented. The donuts were amazing as well. We will be back if we ever find ourselves near one again!“

“My favorite donuts anywhere! Most locations have a sign that lights up in red when they have a fresh batch available but I don't recall seeing that here. When fresh, the glazed donuts melt in your mouth so deliciously. Their coffee is excellent! Service is generally fast and courteous.

Dietary restrictions: Good luck with that! Sugar, fried dough, nuts, caffeine, fat, and cholesterol are all here.

Parking: Fast and easy drive-thru.“
