This place is VERY PURPLE! Purple walls, floors, everything. It is kitschy cute - lots of doughnut/baked good pun art and even little coffee cup chairs. I appreciated that they had seating and gave an opportunity for you to sit down and enjoy your treats. It is a little grimey/out-dated, but that's part of the charm. While not my favorite donuts in Indiana (Rise n Roll still wins #1 in my heart), the glazed yeast are the winners here. read more

This is the second Knead the Dough Bakery that I tried and was happy i did. This location is in an older building near downtown Martinsville. The interior is not as upscale as the Lizton location. They have a small dining area and workspace and a craft/project room. I came in late, by noon, but after the donut hours. The cases had a varied selection of cookies, donuts and pastries. The clerk told me that their most popular donut was the Apple Cinnamon Donut, but they didn't have any. The clerk said, "I'll make you one!" In ten minutes, she came out with my donut. And it was fresh, soft and delicious. Lots of crispy cinnamon sugar, it melted in my mouth. Great service! Great donut. So good. Plenty of parking. I'll come back. Earlier next time. read more

Best place for Bismarks! Fast and friendly service . Opens super early for before work stops.

I dream of back in the day when bakeries were so awesome as you pressed your nose against their glass window cases, not being able to decide what delicious baked goods you would have. Knead the Dough is that kind of bakery I have never been there for what they don't have the most delicious donuts. Too many decisions. Final note you better get there early otherwise they have been cleaned out. read more

The last couple times I purchased from here the donuts were not fresh and they were not good

No frills: Just great old-school-style donuts, with a couple of fancy things thrown in, like cronuts (croissant donuts). Sometimes, you just want a simple glazed yeasted that's soft and sweet, or a crumbly old fashioned to dunk in coffee. I like my donuts plain and good and predictable, and this is what you'll find here. Of course, that being said, the donut I chose for myself was a cronut. Sometimes I just can't help myself -- I just need that touch of bougie to get through the day. And what better place to be bougie than Martinsville, right? My kids, however, got glazed twists and jelly filled donuts, so I got to taste how great they were. My cronut was great, but next time, I'll go back to basics and get one of the glazed yeasted donuts. Knead the Dough Bakery also sells frosted cookies, danish, turnovers, bear claws, cinnamon rolls and apple fritters. They have coffee too! There are a few different seating options, including bar seating and table seating. There's lots of room to hang out, or you can do what we did and get your tasty donuts to go. read more

Gayle and I were driving down to Bloomington from the Indianapolis area last Friday after a forgettable stay at a rather tired Airport hotel. The "free hot breakfast" didn't do anything for us and perhaps we should have dined at a nearby Waffle House. While I was really hungry, Gayle just wanted to get to her Son's house (and family) ASAP. We finally agreed to stop at a restaurant in Downtown Martinsville, which turned out to be closed. But on the way, we drove past Knead the Dough Bakery and decided to stop there as we were heading back. It wasn't bacon and eggs, but a sweet roll and coffee has always been an acceptable first or second choice for me. This Bakery looks rather plain on the outside and definitely fades into the neighborhood. Yet inside are some solid bakery choices and good coffee as a bonus. My choice was a "long john" with a solid cinnamon roll-like base, then covered with maple frosting an nuts. Was it absolutely delicious, too much food, and bad for my heart? Absolutely! And your point? Gayle lowered her sights with a nice cookie choice, and knowing that she'd take a nice bite out of mine. The only mystery is how I'm going to figure out an excuse to come back the next time we're visiting family. read more

BEST carrot cake you will ever have! I'm not big on sweets! All 3 times I have visited here, I've ended up with a sugar high before I even made it out of the store though!! (; read more

A line at the door is always a good sign. And this line didn't disappoint! We stopped in around 9:45am on a Saturday and the donut case was practically empty. Luckily, they had plenty of choices on a rack to the side and in the back. The woman who helped us was very patient with all our questions even though it was so busy. I love a good fluff filled donut. Their maple topped fluff was fantastic, with a generous amount of filling. The square donut was a pleasant surprise. It was like a lightly glazed croissant. I would definitely get it again. Their custard filled was also a hit, not too sweet and generously filled. I wish this place were closer because it would be a weekly stop. On second thought, maybe it's a good thing it isn't closer! read more

We recently stopped here after going to the BMV to celebrate my grandson passing his written driving test. There was a line when we walked in but not too long for us to change our minds. While waiting, we noticed there is a nice size room with tables and chairs where you can eat on site. My wife pointed to the pies in the display and noticed they had our granddaughters favorite, Chocolate Cream Pie. She also noticed they had a bag of brownie end pieces (she knows the ends are my favorite part). My grandson got the donut sticks with the glaze dipping sauce. Our granddaughter got the same plus three chocolate glazed donut holes. I must admit they looked really good. My wife opted for two plain glazed donuts. We found a nice table and sat down to eat there. I hadn't planned on eating any donuts but as usual my granddaughter's eyes are bigger than her stomach. So I *had* to help her finish off her donut sticks. They were plenty sweet without dipping in the glaze. My wife enjoyed her plain glazed donuts saying they had a nice flavor and were light not heavy at all. I noticed they have a coat rack made out of rolling pins cut in half. And lots of little sayings about dough. When we left there was still a line and it didn't look like it would slow down any time soon. And the line moved really fast since two people took and filled orders while one person worked the register. I love the name of this bakery, really catchy. I think we will make this one of our regular weekend day stops. read more

Local bakery in Martinsville with a great assortment and cronuts! You hardly see cronuts anywhere and these are some of the best around! We came specifically for the cronuts and got some more. We got an assortment, twists, tiger tails, apple fritters, chocolate frosted with sprinkles, Bismarck's, and donut holes. The Bismarck's were fresh, fluffy and nutty! Get there early because their donuts go fast! read more

This was a delightful find on my morning drive through Martinsville. Located just east of downtown on Morgan St, the shop is located in a stripmall with plenty of parking. There is a sign near the street, but there doesn't seem to be much to call attention to the bakery on the actual storefront. Inside, there is a dining area by the door and the order counter is in the room to the left. There you can find display cases of (mostly) labeled pastries, a menu board with options, and get some hot coffee. They didn't use a number system, so visitors seemed to be browsing the cases, but generally mindful of who was ahead of them and the staff managed to get people processed quickly. I went with a cup of black drip coffee and two pastries: a peanut coated Bismarck and a block of Carmel Apple Coffeecake. Both pastries were delicious (though I have to admit I didn't eat the coffeecake until the next morning.) The coffee was tasty and just on the edge of being too hot, but I was able to drink it fairly quick without minimum tongue scald. Pleasant staff and tasty pastries await anyone who is in the Martinsville area! Review #2860 read more

Best jelly filled donut ever. I'm an old fat German from Minnesota who knows his way around a bakery.

Best (only) donut shop around. Never been disappointed except when they have ran out of something I wanted. Haha

These. Are. My. Favorite. Donuts! I have hooked my non martinsville friends on them as well, the croissant donuts seem to be my crowds' pick! I can't wait to try their actual food sometime! Ps, go inside and check out their commissioned craft room, I've been eyeing a few pieces for a while and hope that they're still there when I have saved up enough for them! read more

Best donuts ever!!! Always fresh, and super friendly service!! Will always go back!!!!!!

It donuts. Not bad, same as grocery. Wish more like Longs or Krispy Kreme. Pretty ordinary.

Knead the Dough Bakery has some of the freshest and softest donuts I've ever had! It's a nice sized store and it's very clean! They won best yeast donut on donut day downtown last year! They won voter's choice for best bakery in Central Indiana on Donut Day this year. They had some fall themed apple cider donuts, caramel apple pie, and pumpkin cream cheese filled iced donuts available. Those were delicious! The staff were very friendly and fast. They have a huge menu board that you can look at and admire all of the selections that they have. It would take a lot of work to bake all of those items! I liked how they had pop tarts, croissant donuts, turnovers, and danishes. They don't cut corners on the icing and the toppings! They had other items that are unique like senorita bread or also known as Spanish bread and guava mango cream cheese strudels, and Persians. They can make custom cakes, customized sugar cookies, and one that looks really good is a dessert called "Pina-Colada Lush" it has toasted coconut, cream cheese, pudding, crushed golden oreos and pineapple in it. You can even choose an Italian cake flavor as your option for a cake! They make loaves of bread that you can purchase. Cinnamon raisin, Amish, Sourdough, etc. They make Danish boards on Friday and Saturdays only that is their Danish dough flattened rolled with cinnamon and sugar, and baked with caramel and pecans. They offer sandwiches for lunch and they have plenty of seating available. If your headed down to Bloomington Knead the Dough is off of 37. It's in Martinsville and not that far to stop in to get a bite to eat a frappe or some donuts and then head to an IU game. Your friends and family will thank you for bringing donuts, and pastries! They even have a drive-thru so you don't even have to get out the car! read more

Stopped here on the way to a family event. The place was busy but the service was good so we didn't have to wait long. I was disappointed that were no gluten free options so I was not able to try anything (as I am celiac) however, the snickerdoodles that we bought were a big hit with the family. My husband also snagged a donut for the car ride that he reported as being a solid B+. read more

This local business has excellent products. However, I placed an order on Tuesday morning for pick up Saturday morning (today), and not only was it not ready, no one could find it. I prepaid this order, also. I picked up my son from Goodfellow AFB in Texas, and after 18 hours of driving one way (we left Tuesday), I didn't want to mess with breakfast. Don't pre-order without getting your order taker's information because no one could figure out who it was. I am exhausted and my ENTIRE family is hungry. What a waste of time. Going in and ordering from the case is a fine experience, though. Just do that. ugh. read more
