A 1 Dozen Assorted Donuts
Claire L.

Excellent customer service with an incredible selection of mouthwatering donuts! The ultimate spot for donut lovers or anyone with a sweet tooth. I got some old school donuts and a few seasonal flavors, the pumpkin one was so good! Highly recommend this place- the best in town hands down.

I'm not even an old fashioned donut fan but Greenbush's old fashions are literally to die for! I love the blueberry one and sour cream especially!

OREO Doughnut
Travis B.

OREO Doughnut: Greenbush Bakery opened its doors in 1996 and in 1998 it became a certified kosher dairy kitchen (the only one between Minneapolis, MKE, and Chicago to this day). Although I got my degree from UW, I somehow went the entire four years without trying a single doughnut from Greenbush Bakery. Don't worry, I've since made up for it and now make it a priority to stop whenever I'm back on campus. Their OREO Doughnut is a massive Bismark with chocolate icing covered in OREO crumbles with a center containing an OREO crème flavored filling. The filling nailed the OREO crème flavor but had a better texture that was more liquid/creamy than the somewhat dry crème in OREOs. This was the second time I've had this doughnut and although I enjoyed it, it was much better the last time I was there. When I went in 2022 it was absolutely stuffed with OREO crème flavored filling and this time around, I ate almost half the doughnut before getting any crème (I was actually beginning to worry it wasn't even filled by mistake). I don't know if the recipe changed or if it's just from individual variation, but I was a little disappointed. Still a good doughnut, just not a great doughnut.

Oreo, sprinkles, and old fashioned
Matt S.

Life is short, but donut reviews are too great to pass up. Was in town for the evening and at the recommendation of some friends got a half dozen from Greenbush. Went with a large variety of their glazed, some sprinklers, and assortment of the old fashioned from the original to cherry. The old fashioned were the best in my opinion as they were large, super funky and chunk looking, with the right amount of glaze. The sprinkles were fairly basic ranging from cake donuts to original and had a good amount of topping. The glaze was a little disappointing as I felt the bread was a little heavy with not enough glaze. Still a great set of donuts to be had in Madison

Ok so I heard this is the best. And they did not disappoint. I have a hard time picking what to choose so I got a dozen donuts and apple fritter. I did share the dozen donuts. with several people and everyone liked them. We cut them all into four pieces and we definitely all got a sample all the different kind of donuts there were. we went to work and everyone at work agreed very extremely delicious. I don't think there's a bad thing in there was one I did not like. It looked like some kind of chocolate log. They're not care for that in anyway shape or form but otherwise everything was fabulous.

I've stopped here multiple times... always a great experience! Hands down the best donut shop in Madison. The service is super quick, usually in and out in about 5 minutes even if you're ordering a few dozen! The prices are very reasonable for the quality too You know it's going to be a good day at work when someone brings in Greenbush! I could have multiple in one sitting :-P My favorites are the Oreo with cream filled or a sour cream donut. Serious Heavenly!! Parking can be a challenge. Street parking is best, however there usually is a spot right near the bakery.

Blueberry cake donut
Sho R.

Hands down these are the best donuts in Madison. The cake donuts were my favorite. Blueberry cake donut was the best. Cherry cake donut was good as well. The oreo cream donut was another excellent donut. Maple blueberry donut was excellent as well. Apple fritters was really big. Other donute I tried were coconut chocolate donut and peanut chocolate donuts.

Great donuts. My only crib: Bakery does not have to equate "sweet" only. Can we have some breads, puffs, and savory options please?

The donuts here are good but not fantastic. But the Donut food scale starts at a 5 and ends at a 10. Even a bad donut is pretty good.

This is THE place for donut-lovers in Madison. Cannot speak more highly of this place and their old-fashioneds. Just such a treat.

I walk by this place constantly. It's a diet of the mind not to run in and get an old fashioned each and every time.
