Denny's Doughnuts And Bakery

This place is great. It's one of those local places where you walk in and there are a bunch of old folks hanging out, which I consider a good sign. Old folks don't tolerate garbage food or bad service. 😂 And this is a great example. The donuts are consistently great; they're always evenly cooked and have a consistent taste & texture. They have a good variety of styles that you don't get at a "chain" like Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. They also have super friendly staff (some long-term, others new) that you also don't get at most chains. And the price is actually sane, unlike those other places. You can of course get more than donuts. They usually have a few kinds of cookie, some cinnamon rolls, etc - all baked by someone who knows what they're doing and cares about producing a quality product. Not the most convenient location based on where I live, but I'm never disappointed after making the half hour drive in.

A very nice location, beautifully decorated seating area (see the pictures), plenty of parking, variety of donuts, amazingly decorated cookies! Staff always friendly, professional, and smiley! Our experiences with getting donuts has been great, tasty and fresh. However, I was not satisfied with the boxes I ordered ahead of time for my daughter's school office. I ordered 3, then decided to keep one for ourselves just to see how they look and taste. Sadly they looked and tasted old. It's doubly embarrassing for me because the school staff may thing we are cheap people and got them a day old donuts. I'm going to pick up some tomorrow for some other staff at ISU, hoping for a better experience! I think it might be best to go early in the morning and get donuts than to pre-order. Not sure really, I still feel a bit disappointed and embarassed.

I visited there when I was staying in Bloomington for a few weeks (I'm from the UK!). It was my favourite place to go, I loved everyone there as they were super friendly and the cookies were delicious. I cannot wait to visit Bloomington again to go, I speak fondly of this bakery back in my home the UK! 😁

I grew up eating Denny’s Doughnuts. I moved away 6 years ago and have always missed the decorated sugar cookies. I was passing through town but did not make it before closing. I called to see if they stocked any cookies locally but to my dismay they did not. The wonderful woman working at the south Main Street location saved me a dozen and stayed 30 minutes late to make sure I got them. Now that is customer service!!!!
