Five Faughters bakery was super good! Upon arrival I was not even in the mood for a sweet, but when I laid eyes on the donuts all that changed. The Chocolate sea salt donut was phenomenal and had a sweet filling inside. This specific location had a great spot to sit outside the assembly. read more

If you've looked through my pics then you know i know my [ donuts | doughnuts ] very well. Let's get into it... Aesthetically Five Daughters has it. lots of seating. good lighting and overall a place you don't mind seating to enjoy your donut of choice As for the donuts...All specialty. They don't have some of the traditional stuff (old-fashioned, glazed, etc.) I would expect in a donut shop. key here is "I WOULD EXPECT" so don't come for me. I think donuts are just okay. they have a limited number of flavors and a few of the flavors were heavy on toppings (yes, there is some bias here as i am not a cupcake fan either). price wise...i can't complain coming from Chicago and NYC , their prices are refreshing. Service...good folks. quick. in and out. can't get much complicated. read more

I wanted something sweet after dinner and stumbled upon this place. I got the pumpkin pie spice latte donut. It was really good. The service was quick and friendly. Walk right in, wait to order, pay and on your way out. read more

This was a cute little bakery we stopped by when we were doing a trip to Nashville. I was very excited to try the Cronut especially since I love croissants and donuts. It may have been because we stopped there later in the afternoon but the texture was on the harder side and it was a bit too sweet for me but some of my friends enjoyed it. I am glad we tried it, and everyone in the store was nice. I think it was worth trying once. We tried the maple glaze, vanilla cream, chocolate sea salt, and milk chocolate sprinkles. read more

Date of visit: March 16, 2025 (Though technically we also came back the next day and I brought a friend the day after...) While looking for a snack at the Assembly Food Hall, we stumbled upon this lovely little gem, above the courtyard and away from the hustle and bustle of the other restaurants. Layla was great as we took our time oohing and ahhing over the many treats on offer and settled for some cookies, which were fantastic! And if you go and see that they have the day olds available, those are just as good, so #treatyoself at half price. read more

Paleo donut option is great for anyone with allergies. They had 3 different options of them to choose from. Choose the s'mores option. Was pretty good. Not quite a normal donut but pretty close. My gf got one of their sugar cookies and said it was pretty good. Worth a stop. Staff was friendly. read more

Is this place worth the hype? Honestly, kinda. lol. I'd never had croissant style donuts until we visited Nashville. Did we order too much for two people? Probably. lol. But a glass of milk would have done the trick. Can't complain about anything we had. The donuts are amazing. Service was quick and easy. It's a small place but it's basically in a food court so plenty of seating outside the bakery. read more

Five Daughters Bakery is a real treat. They specialize in cronuts, and the one I tried was absolutely delicious--light, flavorful, and perfectly made. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the bakery itself had a very clean, inviting atmosphere. A wonderful spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. read more

First time in Nashville and I heard a lot about Five Daughters Bakery so I was excited to try it. The decor is really pretty and the shop is clean. Unfortunately, I tried the Mini Cinnamon Purist and it was underwhelming. It did not taste fresh. They claim to have croissant style donuts but it was not flaky like a croissant. Maybe I should've tried more of their options. If I return to Nashville, I will try to visit Five Daughters early when they open so I can see if the donuts are fresh or not. read more

Love finding new local bakeries during travels. Found this one that I believe is local to TN. Tried their seasonal blueberry lavender and it was divine. Look at the fluffy croissant layers! Personally one donut was too large for me but if you normally eat a whole, go for the regular size. Or go with minis for multiple flavors! Their location at Assembly Hall is on the top floor outside an open corridor. We brought our food back indoors to enjoy with seating. read more

Price: $ Pastry: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I have been researching for the best dessert in months before coming to Nashville for the CMA Fest. Many articles that I found point out one bakery, which is the Five Daughters Bakery that known to have perfected their craft in making cronut (croissant donut). The shop was located on the 2nd floor near the food court. There is an escalator that take you directly to the shop near Ariat store. I was surpise to find that not many people were in line when we got there. The staff greeted us promply and gave us a brief description of what first timers should choose. I'm glad that we had an assortment of her suggestion as well as our own pick. I remembered the Lemon cake donut was everyone favorite, which I highly recommend. Unfortunately, I cannot remember every single donut that we got. However, I assured you that everything was delightful and not to sweet, which I love. Each donut have their own unique flavor and flakey due to its ingredients. I would highly recommend my fellow sweet tooth to visit Five Daughters as one the place to visit in your itinerary. read more

Fantastic donuts!! My husband and I stopped in for the 100 layers donut and it was delicious! It's light and airy like a croissant but sweet and fluffy like a donut. We got two of the purist because unfortunately they were out of the maple glaze. The service was good and the decor is super cute, but let's be honest, those donuts are the star of the show. I can't recommend Five Daughters Bakery highly enough. read more

The 100 layer donuts were fantastic! They didn't feel too heavy at all and were loaded with flavor. The majority of flavors we tried were seasonal flavors, and between my husband and I, we each enjoyed all the flavors. They were a bit expensive in my opinion, but I'm just not used to purchasing donuts this gourmet either. We would gladly come back here again in a heartbeat to try more of their flavors or other style donuts read more

I visited Five Daughters mid-September and was able to try the croissant-style, Hundred Layers Doughnut in Salted Caramel Apple. "Rolled in cinnamon sugar, topped with a spiced apple glaze, topped with a dark cinnamon caramel and sprinkled with coarse salt." Each layer was as crispy, moistened and flavourful as the last. I stayed in Tennessee for four days and ended up getting this specific doughnut each time. So good and so worth a visit. The staff were friendly & attentive while the shop was clean and decorated with minimal pink fixtures! read more

Oh my gosh, this would be the most decadent and pleasurable way to get diabetes! I was in town for work, and a friend of mine from my hometown knew I was going to be in Nashville. He insisted I hit the Five Daughters Bakery for a donut! I'm so glad I did! The place is super cute, and it's the perfect building for the business they have. The inside is girly-bakery quaint and has a nice flow, and while it was almost empty when I was there, I can imagine it can be jam-packed on a morning or on a Saturday and that's why they have no tables inside. You have to eat outside. Five Daughters Donuts make Stan's Donuts in Chicago look like Dunkin' Donuts. The quality of these donuts, the freshness, the fluffiness, and flavor were all to die for. And the prices, while worth it, will kill you before the diabetes does! I had a cup of coffee and it was decent albeit nothing special, but it washed down the five million grams of saturated fat and sugar. The truth is my donuts were so very good, I didn't want the flavor to go away. There's plenty of parking in the back, and even a playground for children next to the outdoor patio tables. read more

Finding the location can be challenging but it's on the 2nd floor. We parked in the garage. The customer service was excellent. They explained the different types of doughnuts even gave us a free one for my birthday! The purist was my favorite but my sister tried the chocolate and loved it. Definitely worth a try if you're a doughnut lover in Nashville. read more

I'm not a real fan of donuts but this place was so recommended I decided to give it a try while in Nashville. Their 100 layer ( not really a 100 but a lot) vanilla cream donut was phenomenal!!!! It really didn't taste like a traditional donut. There were so many layers inside that were so fresh and yummy and the cream was superb. There was nothing artificial tasting about it like most donuts to me. So, the not a fan of donuts went there 3 times during my visit. read more

Oh. My. Word. What fantastic, flakey layered donuts! I had the carrot cake and a gluten free chocolate sun butter. (Don't judge , it was lunch ) The gluten free was very moist and not overly sweet. The carrot cake was just simply wonderful. Hubby had the Boston Crème and a chocolate chip cookie, which he loved both. I did taste the cookie and it was a great balance of a little salty and sweet. Try it when in Nashville! read more

This location is located in the Assembly Food Hall and right outside the main dining indoor area. The line moved quickly and all the doughnuts and baked goods were on display and labeled nicely. I decided to try several items including the Strawberry Lemon Shortcake and Tiramisu. The first doughnut was filled with strawberry preserves and was my favorite of the two. The Tiramisu has a mellow coffee flavor infused into the cream cheese filling and had a fine dusting of chocolate on top. The Apple Fritter was also really tasty and has a layer of chopped apples and a sugary hardened glaze on top. read more

I was visiting Nashville and we wanted to get a fun dessert after dinner. Five Daughters was a heavily recommended spot when researching things to do and I was so excited to try these dense donuts! We went at the end of the day but they still had quite a selection and my nieces got so excited to learn they could have the last mini donut when ordering the second to last one. The staff working at this location were so friendly and I loved all of the pink decor inside. This is an awesome bakery! read more

I was so excited to find a bakery off Broadway and so close to Assembly Food Hall! These donuts were absolutely huge and delicious! I took a few bites off them for about three days. lol!

The ladies working were super nice! We came in the day before my birthday, so these were part of my special birthday breakfast the next morning. I would highly recommend this place! If I'm ever in the area, I will 100% be stopping by! read more

Unfortunately Five Daughters Bakery doesn't seem to be worth the hype. I have a personal superstition against ordering raised donuts in humid weather because they never seem to come out right. This donut did nothing to disprove my superstition. I wanted to try the 100 layer donut that they're famous for, which run about $5.25 each. I got one with vanilla cream filling and frosting. I will say the flavor was not too sweet with a good amount of saltiness. Unfortunately the texture was horrible. The whole donut was sweaty and soggy and damp. The croissant layers are visible, but have no integrity. There was no crispiness at all to tell me the donut had been fried and rolled in sugar. I came around 1-2pm so it's possible the donuts would taste fresher in the morning? The ladies working here were super friendly and helpful so I appreciate that. This store was absolutely deserted and I can see why. Unfortunately I would skip this spot and get a sweet treat at Jeni's downstairs. read more

This was our second trip to this Nashville chain bakery during our trip, the lemon ice box donut was one of the best items I've ever tasted either the fresh lemon curd in the middle. All of their pastries so neatly displayed are like mini works of art. This location is on the heart of Broadway, close to the honkey tonks. I would have loved to try more things but the price point of the items was not conducive to doing so. I will just take everyone's word that everything is delicious! read more

Five Daughters Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

One of the newer locations out of the bunch located in the heart of DT Nashville at the assembly food hall. It's on the second floor next to all of the other food stalls, but it's located outside of that separated on its own and has its own storefront. Small little shop with no seating inside. I like the glass display case with everything labeled so you can see exactly what you are getting. I opted for the online ordering and noticed it also had a description of what each donut was. They have staple simple flavors, but every month they rotate flavors depending on the seasonal offerings. Some are better than others, but I tend to enjoy more of the fruity fresh flavors over the heavier chocolaty flavors. Personally I only like the filled ones over the non filled ones (which seems to only have different toppings, buttercream, or frosting that makes each flavor different). The base of the "100 layer donut" is fluffy and airy on the inside but sometimes more on the heavier and oily side. It's super unique to the donut world since not very many places offer cronuts these days. The packaging and marketing are always keeping me on my toes. The service was okay when I came in...Something felt a tad off, rushed, and not genuine. Regardless I do love these cronuts and hope they open more locations. read more

I stopped in recently after lunch to grab a bite of something sweet. These were the perfect sweet treat. The donuts are like none I had before. They are light and fluffy with lots of layers and delicious toppings. The cinnamon crunch was filled with some cinnamon cream and had these little crunchy things on top that gave it an awesome texture. This is the perfect place to grab something sweet while in the area! read more
