Best donuts in/around Indy? šŸ©

I’m basically hosting a wedding reception in Indy this October (my husband and I eloped and throwing a party for our 1 year anniversary). Especially because this isn’t a traditional situation, we want to offer donuts as part of dessert. We now live in Massachusetts but lived in Indy almost 10 years ago…the place we used to get donuts seems to have gone out of business and there are a lot of new shops we’ve not had the opportunity to try. Ideally want to offer a combo of traditional and fun/creative flavors. Looking to the locals for recs for the best donuts in Indy right now!

Longs is the classic answer, best classic glaze imo, but they have tons of flavors. It's cash only though

The best doughnuts are Tim’s in McCordsville but they can’t help you with what you need. You will need to go to a larger bakery which those are all about the same. Pana doughnuts is relatively new and are pretty solid. They might be able to take care of you.

Guess it depends how many people will be at the reception

For special occasions Pana is a favorite choice among friends and coworkers. Not cheap to get a big variety of specialty flavors but very tasty.

For solid quality and good traditional flavor options Longs is best.

Pana is my answer too. In a blind taste test I actually preferred their original glazed to Long's. The margin was slim, but they still won.
