We all had fairly big orders and they did not bat an eye, they answered any and all questions and made us all feel overly welcome. The store is incredibly clean and bright inside with plenty of seating and calm vibes. Now as for the donuts. After only being to the one in Pendleton many years ago before they moved I was a little worried that my memories would not be met. Boy was I wrong. The donuts were absolutely perfect in every single way and prepared right in front of us. There were so many choices but not overwhelming.

Pricing is a fresh of breath air. We got 3 donuts, a hand pie, a sticky bun, a mini chocolate cake filled w/cream, a granola bar and coffee. Under $20. The place is kid friendly. It was not loud inside. We will be coming back. P.S. This location, at the moment, does not have Amish butter or bread yet.

I used to take orders from my friends and bring them dozens of donuts. So we were all happy when they started opening locations in our area. It is hard to name a favorite donut because I enjoy them all. But the chocolate frosted cream filled is the one I chose today. Service is always friendly and you can't go wrong with any donut or pastry that you choose. There are also jellies, jams, salsas, and other homemade goods. This location is just dangerously close to my home and I plan to take advantage of it.

I came for one free donut... and left with a box full of bad decisions…read more I'm originally from Connecticut and was driving through Indianapolis on my way back to Louisville when someone told me, "Don't leave Indianapolis without stopping at Long's Bakery." Whoever you are... thank you. You changed my life. The sweet woman behind the counter heard where I was from and handed me a complimentary glazed yeast donut. Let me tell you... WHEW! It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, and it still melted in my mouth. Light, soft, perfectly glazed... I knew right then I was in trouble. I ended up buying a box with blueberry cake, applesauce cake, cinnamon sugar, Bavarian cream, glazed yeast, and a few others. Everything was incredibly fresh, and at those prices, I had to double-check the menu because I thought I was reading it wrong! When I got back to my parents' house in Louisville, we warmed a few up for just a few seconds. Game over. They somehow tasted even better. My plan was to take some to church tomorrow to share... but judging by how fast they're disappearing, I may be testifying about them instead. Before I left, the woman smiled and said, "Make sure you come back when you're in town." Oh, I'll be back. I may even create reasons to drive through Indianapolis now. Long's Bakery doesn't need fancy displays or trendy flavors. They simply make outstanding donuts with friendly service and prices that make you wonder if they accidentally forgot inflation. 10/10. Worth every mile of the detour.

This is the 2nd time we've had associates go in to get donuts for the team and they were met with the owner's rude attitude (only towards his black customers). We thought to ignore his previous behavior and give him grace but sadly he and his hard donuts disappointed us again. A little history about him: his store was one of the ones that were ruined during the riots in 2020-ish, so I think he still takes that out on black people. I feel bad for him.. he's still mad at black people, while he's surrounded by them in downtown Naphganistan.

With four days off recently, I finally had the chance to check out the Nora location of Rise 'n…read moreRoll, a Middlebury, Indiana based mini-chain that has its roots in northeast Indiana's Shipshewana before "officially" opening in Middlebury in 2004. The roots are truly Amish - Rise 'n Roll was started by an Amish couple in a bakery that didn't use electricity, refrigeration, or modern technology. In 2009, however, that couple sold the bakery to a non-Amish couple that has worked to maintain its roots while also adding some updates (including franchising). The original owner stayed on! I was a little surprised when the Broad Ripple location, though it never quite felt like a Rise 'n Roll. Having been to the Middlebury spot on multiple occasions, Broad Ripple just felt like "too much" to me. This spot, while still nice, is a humbler location that still maintains the quality. I've never been completely fond of this strip center. It's not particularly wheelchair friendly (yes, there's a curb-cut, however, accessible parking is wonky at best). However, once inside all is forgiven. This spot opened in late 2023. While it's known for its donuts, you can also get other pastries, popcorn, and other Amish items. At this point, Rise 'n Roll has about 15 locations statewide with four in Central Indiana (Nora, Fishers, Greenwood, Westfield). Avon recently closed. As most people are told by bakery fans and employees, their real signature donut would be the cinnamon caramel donut It's a pretty remarkable donut, though I tend to go for either cinnamon rolls, traditional yeast, and occasionally something chocolate iced. I find the employees friendly, the atmosphere clean and welcoming, and the prices definitely fair. They have fundraising opportunities and it's definitely one of my favorite bakeries - it's better, at least for me, knowing that it's also one of Indiana's own.

I've joked about the donut wars going on in Avon, Indiana as my life has taken me through Hendricks…read moreand Putnam counties quite a bit lately. Avon has at least four donut shops within 1-2 miles of each other - Parlor, Dunkin, Pana, and Carl's. Of these, Carl's is clearly the "local" shop. It has the look and feel of a gathering place. While the others do offer sit-down dining, especially Parlor, Carl's feels like a smalltown donut joint with its simple but pleasant decor, lower pricing, and comfortable but pleasing service. Carl's Donuts & Bakery is a locally owned donut shop (Pana is also locally owned, though a growing chain). Carl's also doubles as a cafe and also serves other breakfast items alongside its donuts. The major plus to this approach for a guy like me is that fountain drinks are available including iced tea. I'm constantly dismayed how hard it is to get iced tea in donut shops. I was dismayed to read Jen F's review noting poor customer service as my experience was quite the opposite with customer service being a key strength. The basics: Carl's is located in what looks like a small office complex with a mix of retail and personal service type businesses. It's toward the back. There's some accessible parking and appropriate curb cuts. There's a double entry with glass doors that were pretty easy to manage. As you enter, a dining area is directly to the front of you and to the right side. To the left is the ordering area - I think I goofed up at entry - you begin toward the back and then exit out the front path. I went in through the front, though there wasn't a line and no one said anything. The employees asked if I was ordering breakfast or donuts. I typically get 2-3 donuts and a drink. I stuck with this plan, however, given the comfy atmosphere opted to dine in. I haven't had much time to rest recently and it was nice to sit down. I felt a little out of place (everyone else was clearly local), though everyone was friendly. I ordered chocolate covered yeast donuts and a fountain unsweetened iced tea. They offer discounts, it seems to military, teachers, and first responders. The donuts had a slightly thicker yeast than some that lean toward fluffy. These were more substantial. The chocolate reminded me of Titus Bakery. The iced tea was great - no clue on brand. I could have stuck with two donuts instead of three and been satisfied. The service was a top feature here for me. They were friendly, helpful, and patient as I figured things out. I watched them easily serve a group of senior males gathering in one corner (pouring coffee, etc.). Carl's does not have a drive-thru. Their Facebook indicates they offer curbside pick-up. In future visits, I'd likely experiment with donuts. This particular chocolate is not a favorite for me. I enjoyed it, but I'd easily experiment. There's no doubt I'd return for the service. At a time when I've recently lost my last family member, it was nice to be in a comfortable, welcoming, and warm environment. It did my spirit good. I would also love to return to enjoy a meal here. Carl's wasn't packed, but it was steady throughout my visit and it's clear that Avon loves its donuts and it loves its smalltown gathering spaces.

There was a line of people waiting patiently to select their donuts when we walked in. There were many cases filled with fresh donuts, fritters, danish, turnovers and more. Two clerk were assisting customers, most of whom were buying several dozen donuts. I got a glazed donut and my husband got an apple fritter. The fritter was bigger than his head. My glazed donut was a cake donut. It was light with a perfect glaze. The apple fritter was like a coffee cake with lots of apples and a glazed topping. He shared the fritter with our granddaughters. There was plenty to go around. The cafe serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have daily meal specials. The lady in line ahead of us said the pork tenderloin is the best in town. Pork tenderloin is only served Monday-Thursday. We'll have to come back. They have about 20 tables for eat-in dining. There is a unisex restroom. Stop #4 of the donut trail will require a return visit.
