    Coneys, glazed, & maple
    Nicole F.

    We stopped by for a sweet treat late in the morning. I believe a few things had already sold out but there were plenty of choices left. We grabbed coneys, maple bar, & a glazed donut. Service was adequate & ambiance was typical of small town business I recommend stopping if you love donuts and aren't from a place that has delicious bakeries (like CA).

    No matter what you walk in and set your eyes on nothing will disappoint. I have tried multiple different bakery items and I promise from little donut holes you get as a taste test to the cinnamon twists all the way across the board to a coney love is baked into every bit of sweetness lined up on trays made just for us. It's an explosion for your pallet all while hanging out in a cute local bakery settled right in the middle of town.

    The smell when you walk in! Ahhh! THAT'S what a bakery should smell like! Bill is very friendly and the cinnamon roll and caramel roll were SOOOOO delicious! We will definitely be back!

    Donuts!

    This will be our new go-to donut resource--no doubt about that! I'm hearing in Grinnell that some serious effort has been put into the research for getting these donuts just right and you can tell; they're deffinetly not like anything I've had in awhile!

    Their kolaches and cinnamon rolls were delicious. I will definitely visit them again (hopefully sooner rather than later!)

    What a charming shop! The staff were very friendly and efficient…read more My maple long john was incredibly fresh with a creamy frosting. My son was thrilled with his sprinkle donut, especially with the fun, non-standard colors like blue and green. My husband's apple fritter had a strong cinnamon flavor with bits of apple; it was a bit crunchier on the edges than we expected, but still delicious. We got an old fashioned for our one-year-old, and it was the perfect choice - not too sweet, nor sticky. The big surprise was the breakfast sausage sandwiches my husband and son ordered. The high-quality egg, sausage, and cheese on a fresh croissant were fantastic. I took a bite and was truly impressed, especially for the price... under $5 is very reasonable for the size. I was waffling over the Kona iced coffee, so a worker kindly gave me a sample. It was stronger, sweeter, and creamier than I expected, so I happily purchased a cup. The shop itself is small and can get a bit crowded, so it's probably not the best spot if you're planning to sit and eat inside. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Ankeny though. I can already imagine grabbing donuts and coffee to enjoy at the park with the kids once the weather warms up!

    This is Ankeny's best donut shop. It combines terrific baked goods with superb customer service and…read morea good vibe inside. Their apple fritters are amazing and truly delicious. I have also enjoyed their donuts! In addition to coffee, they sell Coke and Pepsi products. Their staff is so kind and warm - it makes a difference as you begin your day!
