Timeless. I've never gotten a dry donut and it's the only long John that doesn't use a out-the-box icing that taste like cardboard like majority of places, I was scared when I thought they were closing because no donut will ever come even close to this place read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and I'm so glad it's still around. It's not fancy and it doesn't need to be! Just good people making good donuts for a very reasonable price. Long live, Donut Express! read more

I've lived In the south end for 3 years and finally decided to give donut express a go & I am glad I did. I didn't get to the spot until about 8:45 and was expecting to have a very small selection but they had a ton of donuts and kept bringing more and more out. I ordered a dozen to get some variety. So far I've had a maple long John and a cinnamon sugar twist and they both were so delicious. Very cheap and such a small hole in the wall but produces some Incredible food. Reminds me of nords/sugar and spice. read more

Donut Express - two boxes of doughnuts on a table - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

This local donut bakery has had challenges. It looks like they are open again. Prices seem a bit high to me and the price per dozen does not include the specialty donuts. There was not a wait when I visited but it was early when I stopped in. The donuts do taste really good though. For a dozen it was $13.00. They also have single serving drinks too. read more

My boyfriend and I took the kids to get donuts on Saturday morning. The donut shop is in a run down shopping center but after reviewing yelp we really wanted to give it a try. The inside is small with minimal seating. We were greeted right away. We each picked out what we wanted. 7 donuts and 3 drinks and the total was around $12. I thought the pricing was very fair. The donuts were delicious. We will definitely be coming back. read more

One time my stepdad had told me that this place had awesome donuts. We went there one time and had ok-ish donuts. He said that we should come here another time when the donuts were fresher. I went back by myself a few years later to see if it was just a matter of coming at the right time, and my opinion that this place has ok-ish donuts still stands. I got myself a custard filled, a blueberry cake, an old fashioned, and a maple glazed. The blueberry cake and old fashioned were dense and didn't taste 100% right. The yeast donuts were more on the ballpark of being donuts, and I liked the maple glazed and the custard filled. This is another place that I suggested the yeast as opposed to the cake donuts. Otherwise, it's average. read more

This 5 star rating is based solely on the donuts. They are fantastic-maybe the best that I've ever had. There is a chocolate donut with chocolate frosting and nuts that is out of this world! Donut Express is a complete hole in the wall in the south end of Louisville. No frills at all. There are a few tables to eat in and they offer a large selection of drinks. Carry out is my recommendation. You will be Queen/King of the office if you show up with Donut Express! There is almost always a line in the morning and they sell out. The line moves fast- think Soup Nazi style from Seinfeld. Donut pass on Donut Express! read more

Donut Express - a chocolate frosted donut and two donuts - Donuts Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Some of my coworkers get doughnuts from here and they are fantastic. It's not fancy, but the doughnuts are worth it. I've tried several and I've yet to find one I don't like! read more

I stopped here because I saw a sign that said "Donut" and decided that would be an acceptable breakfast snack for myself and the kid that I was transporting to school. We were pretty excited about it and each ordered 2 donuts...and bottles of water. Meh, is a good summation of the experience we both felt upon sinking our first bite into our donuts. They looked great, tasted slightly like krispy kreme (melted almost immediately in my mouth), but were OVERLY greasy. Now I know you are thinking...they are donuts, Sarah, they are supposed to be greasy. I sorta disagree. If you've had amazing donuts you know that greasy is not always the best takeaway for describing your donut. I was happy to know this place exists way out in the Valley Station end of town and the woman behind the counter seemed appreciative of our business. If I find myself in need of a donut and am traveling to that end of town, I might simply try a different one to see if others are more fitting to my taste preference. read more

Amazing donuts. The right blend of sweetness to softness. I've been to other donut shops where the dough has been hard or places like Krispy Kreme that make you want to puke with how fake sweet the donuts are, but this place has the right mix. It won't have any novelty donuts and is more like a hole in the wall. Alot of donuts are sold out by 10 or 11 so come early! read more

DONUT EXPRESS-Has the best dam APPLE FRITTERS in Lou, KY. Once a week my coworker stops and brings us (me and her) top secret in the office...lol. APPLE FRITTERS the freshness, the sweetness, and most of all the crispiness of the edges are to die for. I will never eat anyone else's apple fritter but DONUT EXPRESSES.....LOV,LOV,LOV them. If you get a chance stop by and try them, tell um Constance & Kay from ULP sent you. read more

Small hole- in- the- wall kinda place, locally owned, good donuts. Donuts are always fresh and constantly be made throughout the morning. They are light and fluffy and way better than your chain grocery store in- house donuts (which typically suck, in my opinion). The place has limited seating inside, with no tables large enough for more than a couple people, but I always want to take mine with me, anyway. They sell 20 oz. soft drinks, a limited number of juices, and different types of milk (including, of course, chocolate and strawberry). The only reason I'm not giving this place five stars is because they have a limited selection of toppings compared to other in- town donut shops. But they still have all of the standard types of donuts you might want, so don't let that discourage you from trying this place out. In short, skip the Krispy Kreme, Duncan Donuts, and all the other chain places and give this one a shot. read more

If you want fancy donuts, this isn't the place for you. If you want a good variety of traditional (cake, glazed, sprinkles, long johns, apple fritters, etc.) this is the place to go. The donuts are always made day of and are fresh. They are the right balance of sweet and delicious. They have the best cinnamon rolls I have ever had and may be some of the biggest. Filled donuts are done by hand as you order. They are busy and will have a line, but move fast. Standard choice of milk, juice, and soda. My wife and I ordered a cinnamon roll, 2 chocolate glazed, and a chocolate milk and paid with a 5 and I got change back. The prices and taste can't be beat! read more

by far my favorite place to get doughnuts. we come all the time. they have some of the best cream filled long johns i have ever tasted. it's not super expensive, the staff is super friendly and they are always quick to get what you want. I would go here every single day if i could. read more
