"Mmm...donuts." Homer Simpson’s infamous ode to the sweet breakfast treats speaks the simple truth: Few things in life are as gratifying as fried dough coated in sugar.

There are so many decisions to make: cake or yeast? Glazed or dusted in powdered sugar? Jelly-filled? Sprinkles? The list goes on.

We’ve compiled a list of locally-owned donut shops here in Hamilton County, Indiana. Start your day off right and visit one of these dessert-for-breakfast spots.

 

Bober Tea & Mochi Dough | Carmel

“First time trying mochi donuts, and wow, they're good! The strawberry and Biscotti donuts were some of the best tasting donuts I've ever had. Hands down. We got the mango green tea with passionfruit boba pearls, 6 pack of donuts, and the Seoul Spam sandwich. All were great! On top of the yummy food, the owners and staff were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was really cute and picture-worthy. Definitely suggest going there and taking a stroll on the Monon!” – Yelper Bradley J.

“This was probably the cutest bakery and coffee shop I have ever been to. I was obsessed with the bunny decor and all the plants. All the donuts and baked goods looked delicious. I ended up getting the sugar pie donut which surprisingly wasn't overly sweet. I was also impressed with the coffee selection. I ended up getting the OG which was recommended by the girl who waited on me. It was delicious. This place will you leave you feeling caffeinated and full of joy.” – Yelper Katresha T.

The original bakery did not use any electricity, refrigeration, or modern technology. All of the mixing, sheeting, and prepping was done entirely by hand.

“The star of the show is their original Cinnamon Caramel Donut. Generally when it comes to donuts, I'm not a fan of cinnamon or caramel. I'M A FAN OF THIS DONUT! It seems to just melt in your mouth and even though they're huge, it feels like it would be all too easy to eat 3-4 of them.” – Yelper Matt B.
