Long's Bakery: Delicious Donuts and Pastries in Indianapolis

Forever love for long's donut. Fav : yeast glaze - I can eat 3 at the time easily! The staffs always nice and quickly taking your order .. of course .. long line as usual.

Delicious donuts, cookies, brownies, and other pastries and nice workers. What more can you want?

Truly a gem of Indy! Old school, cash only bakery with the most delicious (and super affordable) donuts/cookies/pastries. The danishes were very good, especially the strawberry/cheese. If you're into sort of sour lemons, then the lemon version is perfect for you with a cup of coffee. But wow, the apple fry was 11/10! Perfectly balanced with chunks of apple & cinnamon and a hefty feel. Gave me all the cozy, wam feelings of fall! Will be back to try Mary Ann, glazed twist, etc...

Came here on a recommendation from YouTube, and it is my favorite kind of neighborhood place. Good, solid donuts and service.

Longs Donuts is an institution!! I remember my dad bringing home Long's Donuts and now as an adult I bring it home to my kids. What makes this place amazing...the fresh glazed yeast donuts that just melts in your mouth! They also carry cake donuts, danishes, twists, cupcakes and other fun pastries. It's a donut shop...don't come for coffee or eggs...just come for the donuts...also it's CASH ONLY...and if you come in the morning, expect a line...a fast moving line, but a line!

On the occasion of Long's Bakery's inclusion on Yelp's "must visit" donut shops list from each state, I suppose it's time for me to finally serve up my review of the westside donut icon. Long's was opened in January, 1955 by Carl and Mildred Long at this location. In 1987, a second location was added on the southside. Both locations are still open and still in their original location. Long's, in fact, is still in the Long family with Carl Long's grandchildren now running the operation. It has always been family-owned. Carl had worked in a German bakery and developed a lighter, fluffier yeast. To this day, a simple yeast donut remains their most popular item. As has always been true, Long's is a cash-only shop. The gas station across the street has an ATM. It's not uncommon to see a line out their door. They're in a residential area and are definitely a destination donut shop. Parking tends to be along the street, not exactly great for wheelchair users, however, for the most part it works. While I'm typically a "chocolate frosted" guy, in this case I typically stick with the traditional yeast donut. I have many fond memories of Long's. When I was a kid enduring many medical procedures due to spina bifida, a stop at Long's would be my mother's bribery for a job well done. It worked. Long's serves over a half-million customers annually. 75% of their business comes from donuts. Fun fact: Rapper Kevin Studdard once did a viral video about Long's Donuts. The donuts are awesome. The apple fritters are pretty great. Strangely enough, I'm not a big fan of the chocolate frosted. I will admit that part of my five-star rating is based on nostalgia and fond memories. I'm not even sure I can say Long's is my favorite shop in town, however, it's a shop I love and to this day I get cravings for the yeast donuts. I will note that this particular block can be a bit rough. While there's not typically any issues around the bakery, it's worth being aware of your surroundings. I'm aware of a couple incidents, including one recently, and the bakery is in a residential area. That said, Long's is an Indiana institution and definitely worth a visit.

Seriously, who does not love longs bakery? The donuts are always fresh and delicious. If you are in a rush make sure you arrive early as the line can be long sometimes! One thing I wish is that they received ach payments! They only take cash! So come prepared

This is a Landmark among locals who love their hot, glazed donuts. They were tasty although pricey at $22 for 2 dozen donuts. A peek into the kitchen showed a clean and orderly environment. Worth a try. The staff was super friendly.

Long's bakery has been a staple in the Indy community for 69 years. Parking is on the street-no lot. There can be a long line out the door most times, but they move the line quickly. Inside there is nowhere to sit, so be prepared to take your delectable treats to go! Also, be ready when it's your time to order! They are known for their yeast donuts. They used to be extremely soft and delicious, but the last couple of times I purchased them, they taste stale. Unsure if the recipe changed. The blueberry cake donut has always been phenomenal. Despite the change in the yeast donuts, I will still return for other donuts!
