Stopped here because we heard about the hype. Now if you know us you know we love donuts. We were so excited about this place. The cart is adorable and the people were so kind, even waiting in line to get them was fun. We got several donuts. I bit into my first donut and it was a glaze and it immediately told me that the oil needed to be changed. Also it was so so dark, fried too long. My husband said the same thing for the apple fritter as well. The cheese danish, the chocolate croissant and the cinnamon roll were perfect. But everything fried was really disappointing. Hope this gets back to the owners so they can hear this. Hope to get back again to try again! read more

King Bakery Donut Cart - Donut cart!! - Donuts Near Me - Cambridge, New York

Best. Donuts. Ever. I have heard my coworker rave about these donuts for 6 years. We finally had the perfect timing to stop in Cambridge driving from NH to WNY and it did not disappoint! All our donuts were soft, chewy, and so fresh! They had such a large selection and although there was a line, (always a good sign) it moved very quick. I highly recommend anyone taking a little detour on their trip to stop here on a Sunday morning. You will not be upset you did. read more

Always perfect donuts and the charm of getting them from a donut cart is always special

It is my most sincere pleasure to be the first to review this absolutely stunning institution in Cambridge, NY. I am troubled that no words I can write could do any sort of justice to this wondrous little bakery cart that sits on West Main, but I will describe it regardless. The world must know about what King Bakery does. Every Sunday and Monday morning, the King family produce astonishingly delicious donuts and baked goods from the bakery/kitchen of their stately home. As soon as trays of these wondrous creations are done, they're walked out to a small, burgundy cart set up right at the roadside where they are sold. The Kings churn out apple fritters, bismarcks, and filled donuts, as well as apple pie bars and other delights. It is a labor of love, and this love is apparent in every bite you take. Something as simple as a glazed donut is bright and flavorful, with a great consistency and a perfect layer of icing. But the more complex items (like those fritters and apple bars) showcase the skill of this baking clan even more - nuanced balances of spices and sweetness, amazing textures, wonderfully fresh ingredients. The locals are quite aware of this little gem, and the lines can stretch ten or fifteen back as the residents of Cambridge, NY know that the Kings will sell out by mid-afternoon. Though this idyllic berg boasts breathtaking views of the Green Mountains and serene and endless farmland, the most beautiful snapshot you can take is one of the cupcakes and donuts sitting in neat rows waiting to be eaten by hungry and appreciative customers. What you see when you look at King Bakery is what makes this little corner of the world so good - local people doing something they love and sharing it with the rest of their town, without fuss and without fame. Sitting in Cambridge is a slice of perfection, and its very existence reminds us that magic can be found in something as common as waiting in line with your neighbors for something sweet. read more

Always a treat to get their home made doughnuts on a Sunday morning. My favorite is the Italian cream or Bismarck. Fun to share when we have out of town visitors. read more

OK, Cambridge peeps! I get it! I was told about this bakery cart about 2 years ago and today was my first visit. What a gem. All freshly baked pastries, donuts, fritters, croissants and some other stuff that I can't remember...but I went to hell in a hand basket and sampled the following; -Chocolate glazed donut: Fluffy, not greasy...best I've ever had. (Ok...caveat...I maybe eat one donut per year...I can't indulge in such sweetness or I wouldn't get out the door...) -Apple fritter: All I can say is....OMG. I'm a slave to anything chocolate normally...and I'm not usually a fan of raisins in my pastries...but this decadent, amazing fritter is a staple for the King's Bakery cart. Now I understand. I've converted. -Cinnamon roll: Outstanding. No other words needed. -Jelly Donut: VERY good (but I'm not a big fan of jelly donuts...I just took a bite of someone else's...). They have a fantastic selection for such a small cart...from what I understand, they're only there on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Depending on how busy they are, it's get 'em while you can....they were already sold out of twists by the time we got there (around 10am). Prepare to indulge...the King family does it right!! read more

What can I say! If you're a donut and pastry lover, this is the place for you! Excellent croissants and snowflake rolls as well!!

I've noticed the lines of people waiting to buy baked goods from an antique cart during my travels through Cambridge and decided today was the day to finally find out what all the fuss was about. Sure, the line was long, but the donuts are worth the wait. Sure, they have other pastries for sale, like turnovers and danishes. But I bought a half dozen donuts, which were all extremely tasty. Among my favorites were the key lime, blueberry cream and Italian cream donuts. I certainly look forward to waiting in line for donuts here again. read more

We were staying in the area when I got a yen for donuts. I went to Yelp and was delighted to realize that my craving was perfectly timed to the narrow window when these donuts are available, just Sunday mornings. We got the maple covered donut and the maple bacon donut, and they were rich, chewy and delicious, down to the last morsel of glaze. Yum! read more

DE. LI. CIOUS. These donuts are absolutely delicious. They are the cutest little food cart and have so many donut and pastry options. It can get busy so you can order ahead. We got half a dozen donuts and my favorites were the glazed, maple bacon, vanilla Bismarck, and powdered jelly. But, really, I want to try them all! I can't wait to go back again when I'm in town to try more pastries! read more

Best donuts and pastries ever. Our favorites are the glazed donuts, cinnamon twists, and powdered jelly donuts! Call ahead to order or go onlineto avoid the waiting! We grew up with Kings bakery and spent our hard earned money at Kings,! read more

Finally made it to this place yesterday, and was not disappointed. I'd been craving a good donut ever since I moved to the east coast....15 years ago! A bit of an exaggeration, sure, but it's not easy to find a non-Dunkin donut in these parts. King Bakery keeps it simple, with less than a dozen varieties all done to perfection. My particular favorites are the maple frosted, lemon filled, and plain glazed. Plan to wait in line for approx. 30 minutes, it's worth it! read more

King Bakery Donut Cart - Variety! Maple frosted is my favorite. - Donuts Near Me - Cambridge, New York

Almond and vanilla melt Danish is divine. Tried some specialty raised donuts too! Very delicious.

Yes, the jelly donuts are heavenly, and words cannot do justice to the chocolate bismarks, the apple fritters, and other similar delights. But... The Snowflake Rolls. We've been going to Kings Bakery for a while, had seen them, and had wondered about them. This past Sunday, curiosity got the better of us. Barbara asked if we could buy a few of them, and was told "they're only sold by the dozen." Our curiosity whetted, we made the purchase. The extremely kind lady who runs Kings Bakery told us, "One of these, toasted, is my daily breakfast." All I heard as I was reaching for my wallet was that the lady ate one of these in the morning. Thankfully, Barbara listened intently, for it is the toasting that unlocks the secret of the Snowflake Roll. You toast them, and gently spread your choice of butter, preserves, whipped cream cheese, or Boursin Cheese on them. Then, you bite into something so fragrant, so wonderfully crunchy, so light and airy, that you cannot believe that it's a roll. It's something yet entirely other, something that just doesn't have a name. It's simply that indescribably delicious. The "only sold by the dozen" restriction? Anywhere else, you could say that exists for the convenience of the bakery, not the customer. Here, it exists to keep customers happy. We'll continue to buy donuts on Sunday; rest assured that they'll always be accompanied by Snowflake Rolls from now on! read more

Love, love, love kings Donuts!!! Best in town. The line is always long because people come from all around to experience how good they are.

Simply the best fresh donuts and pastries around. Maple bacon is a favorite as is the chocolate & espresso scones. Just look for the line of people and parked cars on main St.! They open at 8am and only on Sunday. read more

I grew up going to the standing bakery and when that closed our town was definitely missing something so imagine our joy when Jana, Skip and Holly decided to start the bakery back up again. Sold only Sunday mornings out of an old Freihoffer cart recommissioned, you can't miss it because the line goes down the street, regardless of the weather. My personal favorite is the Bismarck, light & fluffy donut filled with delicious butter cream frosting followed closely by the cinnamon twist. I am not a donut lover, but will always make an exception for Kings. Donuts that are light and fluffy and made with a long tradition of love. Definitely worth the wait in line and worth the drive from anywhere! read more

Best doughnuts in the us, I don't care what anyone else says. It is always a treat to walk down for some doughnuts and other baked goods such as chocolate frosted peanut butter filled, choc. Vanilla. Bismarck, maple glazed with bacon bits on top, apple fritters, and more. It does not matter what you get either way you will be blown away with how good it is. There is a long wait 30 minutes?? Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. I think the longest we have ever waited is 45 minutes, bit that was during covid-19 social distance and other things. But is is more than worth it. Kind people, and amazing doughnuts, what is better? read more

Amazing!! You can travel thousands of miles but you will not find better donuts ANYWHERE! Good luck trying.

Way back in the day, my entire family would traipse into the old King's Bakery shop on Main Street in Cambridge - just about the only place my grandmother, a true master of the culinary arts, endorsed us going for a bite to eat outside her home. The bakery itself is long gone, but the otherworldly smells, outrageously good tastes, and overwhelmingly gracious hospitality live on at the King's Bakery cart that sits like a beacon of bliss at the end of a driveway at the west end of town. If you are in or near Cambridge on a Sunday morning, there's no other place to be. We bought an indulgent array of fresh doughnuts, assuring ourselves the opportunity to taste test, compare, and rate them against one another. Mostly we just needed an excuse for excess. It was hard to remain objective as each bite sent us soaring further towards a sugar-saturated paradise. No two doughnuts tasted similar, with subtle but important variations in the dough flavor and consistency, the glaze or frosting, the shape, and the type of filling (if any). This made the taste-testing extravaganza even more interesting. It's safe to say the (six) doughnuts we tried ranged from "A" to "A+" on a conventional grading scale - painstakingly, I arrived at the conclusion that my favorites were the cream-filled Bismarks and the maple-frosted glazed. Everything about King's Donut Cart seems exactly right, the best of small-town living, neighborly camaraderie, and entrepreneurial determination. Where else can you go to interact with half of a town, willing to wait eagerly on someone's front lawn for fresh pastry trays lined with the bounty from an in-home, commercial-scale bakery oven? Amen. read more

Best donuts I have ever had... period. Three generations of bakers in the same kitchen toiling to craft each delectable treat from scratch. All from simple wholesome ingredients, your not going to find a bag of mix here, the honey for the glaze comes from bees in their yard, the maple syrup from the trees out back. For years my favorite was the apple fritter, crispy frosty goodness stuffed with apples and cinnamon, but as I have matured I have come to love their simple glazed. The dough yellow from the local farm fresh eggs, fluffy and warm with the delicate glaze uncracked. I close my eyes and savor every bite. read more

Awesomeness stacked on more awesomeness. I've taken my daughter's twice and it is the only time they will willingly sit in a line outside of Disney World. They sell out of the popular things the later you get there, go early! read more

i drove 2 1/2 hours to get in line at the 8am "start time" - and after tasting the BEST glazed doughnut in the world, i would have spent the night outside in my car in order to have had just 1... i bought a dozen glazed..and i ate a them ALL........ nuff said :) read more

Simply the best and freshest donuts you can find!!! My family and I discovered this place last year. We started camping up the road in Lake Lauderdale last year (2011) and were told about King's Donuts in Cambridge so we had to check it out - and we were impressed. Unfortunately, they are only open on Sunday and Monday mornings but clearly this is a small operation that focuses on quality and not quantity. They make all sorts of donuts and pastries along with their specials (that they post on facebook). Simply a must if you are in the area on a Sunday or Monday morning. read more

Sunday mornings on the main drag through the town of Cambridge, look for a line 15 deep down the sidewalk. PULL OVER NOW! Prepare to ingest more than your weekly caloric needs in the next sitting. Simply donuts. As you stand in line, trays of hot donuts make their way from the kitchen to the racks inside a buggy that in a former life was a bread delivery cart powered by a horse. Pay close attention to what is on each tray and you will know what is the warmest thing inside. Poke your head inside the door to view the selection. Cinnamon and sugar twists, fluffy cream puffs dusted in superfine sugar, old-fashioned round donuts with real maple frosting, fritters, turnovers. Each donut type has a unique dough base. They don't use a standard batter and just work it into different shapes and call it a different thing. No, no. An old fashioned is cakey and dense. A twist is light and fluffy, A cream puff, well, it's like one of those textures that's crispy on the outside and melting on the inside. They also sell pies, but I'm thinking you must be one of the first five people in line that morning. They had strawberry-rhubarb and strawberry-rhubarb-apple, but the gentleman in front of us purchased both and they were gone. Obviously we were not in the top five. The cheery woman selling these delectables gave me a stern warning about the twist I was about to purchase..."I have to warn you these are still very, very warm." I'll take my chances that this is going to be good. And it was. The locals know to bee-line it to this donut cart after church or be sorely pining for a week. read more

Saw the line while driving through on a Sunday morning. Turned the car around, parked and got in line. It's a social event besides being good food. The locals in line will tell you what their favorite is, and there may even be a little arguing. But when you get to the wagon, there is nothing that you would not eat. It is all delicious. The "meltaway" is awesome, the donuts perfect - not greasy.I can't recommend this gem more highly. Can't wait for a chance to go there again. read more

We almost drove off the road when saw the little wagon. Donut? Yes, please. We stood in line, watching a fresh batch being walked up from the house. The glazed donuts are just perfect. Substantial, yet light. Heavenly. read more

This is by far the most important stop you can make for any trip through the area. Bring cash, and show up early with your own cup of coffee, you will be standing in line for a bit. Simply the best, most decadent, delicious, and wonderful doughnuts and pastries you can find in the area. Made fresh with ingredients from their own farm (when possible), always with a varying specialty. Every visitor that comes to see us has to have these doughnuts. My favorite so far is the maple bacon, the Italian cream, and the apple butter filled. But the all time favorite is the glazed, and you have to have one. If you see a tray of them come out, your decision is made. Sunday Morning, if you are in Cambridge, this is where you should be. read more

I kept hearing about this donut cart that is only open on Sunday's. I woke up this morning and that it the first thing that came to mind after living in Cambridge now for 3 months. My wife and I arrived to the cart that is very old fashioned ( in a awesome way). It is clear that this has been around for a while and is a tradition in Cambridge. We ordered half a dozen donuts to bring back for the kids. WOW are we impressed. I am always willing to help and support and local business. Everyone in town and in line are extremely friendly and are quick to chat up a conversation while waiting in line. I didn't get a chance to try a glazed donut because they were out. Next time I will come a bit earlier. read more

King's donut cart is one of those things that all the locals know well. This donut cart is a must if you are in (or near) Cambridge on a Sunday morning. Everything is fresh-baked and amazing! I rarely eat pastries or donuts, but I make an exception whenever I have a chance to get something from King's donut cart. read more

I had the Apple Fritter and Bismarck this past Sunday on an outing with my girlfriend and her family. OMG!!!!! These were the most delectable and scrumptious pastries I have ever experienced to date. They were absolutely fresh and moist. I would like to initiate a petition to facilitate the Kings family to embark on opening another bakery in the not too distant future. If you havent been then you are surely missing out!!!!! read more

The donuts sold Sunday (and sometimes Monday) mornings from this restored Freihofer's horse-drawn delivery wagon are simply wonderful. The popular glazed donuts are often warm when you buy them. The melt-away danish is another fantastically delicious creation. The family that runs this cart also makes their own maple syrup for the maple-glazed donuts, which I think is just another part of their painstaking attention to detail in producing what might just be the best baked goods in upstate NY. read more

Best place around for doughnuts! Waited in line in January, brutal cold for doughnuts, that in it self is a testament to there goodies!!!
