The Best Doughnuts in Nashville | Eater Nashville

"Franklin-based Five Daughters Bakery opened its standalone counter-service store in 12 South a few years back and since then crowds have gone absolutely wild for a taste of its famous 100-layer doughnuts — a croissant hybrid in flavors like chocolate sea salt and maple glaze. You can also get vegan and paleo doughnuts free of common allergens like gluten. Isaac and Stephanie Meek’s company has since added a shop in East Nashville and a counter in Sylvan Park’s L&L Market." - Eater Staff

Where to Eat in Nashville’s 12 South Neighborhood

"Five Daughters Bakery now has several locations across the South offering the fried treats that put this Franklin-based business on the map — namely the 100-layer doughnut, a croissant hybrid that can take several days to create and comes in flavors like chocolate sea salt and maple glaze. The simple but cute counter-service 12 South location also offers yeasted doughnuts, seasonal flavors, and vegan and paleo doughnuts free of many allergens including gluten." - Kellie Walton, Alex Hendrickson

"Between raising a family (they actually do have five daughters) and growing their small business, Five Daughters owners Isaac and Stephanie Meek definitely have their hands full. Isaac comes from a family of bakers—his grandfather baked cakes and his father owned a pizza shop—and he's made this fledgling bakery famous for a 100-layer donut, which tastes like an overly decadent cronut and takes three days to make. Between those magnificent creations and their sister sweets, like paleo donuts (grain, dairy, and sugar-free) and arguably the best cupcakes in town, it's no surprise that they sell out both here and at their Franklin and East Nashville locations, every day."

Omg, I am still craving these donuts a week later and wish we had a location in Atlanta. These are probably the best donuts I've ever had. I started with a few mini ones and I liked them so much I came back and ordered the large size. They have croissant-type layering so that they are nice and flaky. Everything was moist and delicious! The purist, & gingerbread latte were my favorite! My husband liked the one with bacon and was delighted to see it was cream-filled (King Kong?). The spiced honey cheesecake was a little too sweet because it had so much icing, but it was delicious. Service was excellent, and I loved the decor inside the place as well as the donut paintings on the outside. If I lived close by I would be here weekly

While waiting for a table at a nearby breakfast spot, we decided to pop into Five Daughters Bakery for some treats. I hadn’t been in years, and the cronuts were just as delectable as I remembered: perfectly Chewy, crispy exterior (but not crunchy), decadently stuffed, and absolutely delicious. I went with the Blueberry Lavender, which was filled with a berry jam. The staff were friendly and helpful, and it’s worth noting that all cookies and the blue-striped items are gluten-free, which is a nice touch for those with dietary preferences (one of our friends has celiac). We also really enjoyed the outdoor seating area, especially with the gorgeous weather. This bakery is a must-visit for anyone craving a sweet treat in the 12 South area.

We just visited 5 Daughter Bakery for the first time, and wow what a treat! The donuts are incredible. Soft, flavorful, and beautifully made. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back highly recommend this bakery to anyone in the area!

Traveled from San Antonio, Texas to Nashville for our anniversary. My wife and I were excited to try the donuts. When we were up to order the guy had no customer service and didn’t say much when we ordered. No greeting or help. The girl at the register was ok, overall we won’t go back. Donuts were decent and somewhat hard, seemed like they were not as fresh as they should have been.

I loved this bakery! This place is known for their 100 Layer Donuts, and they did not disappoint. I ordered the minis of The Purest (glazed), Vanilla Cream, Milk Chocolate Sprinkles, and Strawberry Fields. The large one that I got was the Maple Gazed. I also ordered an iced dripped coffee that also tasted really good! Please note that I was able to go to the bakery at 8:30am on a Friday.

Amazing little spot for yummy treats! We stopped here twice while we were in Nashville and both donuts we tried were delicious. We went with the smaller size and were very satisfied with them. I think if we did the larger one they would have been too much sweetness

Really good customer service really clean really neat. The pastries are amazing. I wish I would've took pictures in this phone which I took pictures in my Other Phone this is a really great bakery. I think that I had like a cinnamon doughnut and it was filled with something, but it was so good and I just like to fluffiness and a taste of all of the desserts that I decided to have and they have really nice boxing really nice customer service just a great bakery 10 out of 10

Five Daughters has several locations around the city and they are known for their '100-layered' donuts. Naturally, the comparison is going to be similar to a 'cronut'. We stopped by this location after our brunch and I liked the cute and clean aesthetic of the brand and storefront. The cashier was helpful and kind to explain what the most popular donuts were etc. The Purist (Vanilla Glaze) is their classic and most popular donut. The flavor was nice but what I was really intrigued on was the aforementioned '100-layer'. After taking a bite, I didn't really get any unique texture. I have had cronuts before, and something that makes the layers standout, is if the texture is more prominent. Because these donuts were soft, you don't get to appreciate each layer. In contrast to when I've had cronuts with a 'crust/crispy' texture, that is when you really can feel and taste the different layers. The Maple Glaze flavor I enjoyed a bit more but overall it still had the same 'layer-texture' as the other.

Sooooooo rude. I was actually taken all the way back, I couldn't believe what I was hearing honestly. "What do you want" was the first thing that was said and obviously the experience DID NOT get any better. Donuts were mid at best. Not a good look to have such a hate my job/life type person on the front line helping customers... Good luck

We got the Nutella cinnamon bun which was delicious but relied heavily on the Nutella for flavor. The cinnamon bun supposedly used the same dough as the donuts but wasn't very flakey. Service was fast and there was no line.

Had the vanilla creme which is the most popular flavor and a chocolate sprinkle. I enjoyed the vanilla creme for the most part but it could have used a more authentic vanilla flavor either way vanilla beans. Service wise, the attendant had an interesting approach. This was my first time there, no other customers in the store, didn't really help or try to explain any of the flavors. Another woman came in, she didn't even ask any questions and he was going through all the flavors explaining. Since my husband who was sick was promised a donut, I didn't walk out and just got 2 donuts, but wouldn't go back

5 daughters is always SUCH a treat! If friends come to visit I take them here. I love their rotating flavors and always appreciate how fresh each donut is. The service is amazing and fast even with a crowd. The 12 south location has a few indoor seats and lots of space outdoors (pro tip sit outdoors and get a pic with their cute mural!)

I found the donuts to be dry and a bit too sweet for my personal preference. However, the ladies who were working were very patient as we decided what to choose. There are tables outside to eat, as well as stools/counter space inside. Probably due to the rain, there wasn't any wait.

Hands down my favorite doughnut shop ever. Doughnuts are huge and full of flavor. Light and fluffy not dense like a cake doughnut. The ones with frosting are not super sweet. Perfectly balanced. Defiantly get a Vanilla Cream. Today we also got a Pumpkin Spice and it was amazing. Cute shop and always kind workers. Love this place!

Cute little bakery right off the 12 south strip. The place is small, but the line went quick and the options were hard to pick from. We ordered the lemon icebox, the cinnamon toast, strawberry shortcake, and the maple. The maple turned out to by my favorite. It had that sweet icing but also a maple center. It was fluffy and delicious. We went by the downtown location later that night and it looks like they sell out each day. It's a great little business with a great product.

This is my favorite place to pick up some sweets in Nashville. Their donuts are so unique and delicious with so many selections to choose from. They have their own parking lot which is convenient. Staff are always friendly and your donuts will come in their cute boxes. They also have few cute seating options outside.

DONUT MISS OUT on Five Daughters when in Nashville! We have a location in Atlanta now, but I had to stop by the original... especially on National Donut Day! Everyone inside was super friendly and they let us walk through with the pup on a tight leash. We decided to order the strawberry shortcake donut (with ALL the 100 layers) and the strawberry glazed yeast raised donut because we were just in a summery mood. Both were excellent - although I will probably stick to their Cronut style donuts next time! The yeast raised donuts were necessarily stand out/memorable but those layered donuts are life changing!

My friend and I stopped in while visiting 12 South and I was thrilled that they had gluten free options. The chocolate chip sea salt donut was absolutely delicious! I took one bite just to try it, but ended up eating it all within seconds. Yum!

My best friend had been raving about this place and always talked about the donutcam, which I found both intriguing and hilarious. We finally had the chance to make a trip to Nashville together and made sure we dropped by to pick up some donuts. Five daughters specializes in donuts, particularly cronuts and my difficulty was trying to decide on flavors to try. I wanted to try them all but my stomach can only hold so many. I decided to go with a sessonal strawberry shortcake one and a classic vanilla cream. Both were very delicious, flakey, crispy, and creamy and neither were overly sweet. The shop itself is a little small so you order and take out but staff were extremely nice and helped describe some of their popular flavors.

These are "cronuts" croissant dough that is shaped/frosted like a donut, so dozen of layers. IMO the best and most unique flavor is the Blueberry/Lavender cronut.

The mini 100 layer donuts might be my new favorite thing! I've never had a cronut before but I love a good donut as well as pastures with flaky layers so this is the perfect sweet treat. The original size is also yummy, but the smaller ones allow you to try more flavors and share with friends! After enjoying the pillowy soft texture of their layered donuts, I really wanted to like the other pastries here. I opted for a quinn hoping it would be similar to a kouign amann with its countless buttery layers. I was sorely disappointed as the quinn was dry and dense at the same time. It felt more like a bread or biscuit instead of a flaky pastry. The bottom hadn't fully caramelized and it was falling off in sugary chunks and sticking to my hands and clothes. Next time I come for the donuts I'll try my luck with a savory pastry or cookie, they look amazing!

During our trip to Nashville, we stopped into this place twice. The first time we just did the maple bacon and the pb&j which personally was not my favorite which is why I returned to give it another shot. We got the minis and we got 4 of the minis that were offered. I don't remember all the options so picture for reference. The Samoa was my favorite by far. This was on my bucket list to check out while I was in town and it exceeded my expectations. I definitely will be back during my next trip.

We were walking in this area and saw this spot and had to pop in to see what they had to offer. Before you get inside, they have an outdoor area for kids to play! How amazing is that? You go and get a coffee and pastries for the kiddos, you let the kids play in this enclosed play area outside all the while you get to drink your coffee in peace. It's an amazing concept! So nice for them to have an outdoor play area.

Staff was so sweet and accommodating, especially for those who are indecisive. Such a cute aesthetic spot, worth trying when you're here visiting. Definitely make sure your phone/camera has battery, you will want to take pictures. Best cronut texture I've had- fluffy, not dense, not too sweet, non greasy.

Second time having this. First time, I didn't give the recognition this place deserves. This time I gotta say yeah this place is honestly awesome. The whole concept of this place and business are really based on the daughters of the owner. Which is very adorable. This whole vibe to this place was cute and fun. The doughnuts are simple. But still so good. A simple cronut with cream filling inside? What more do you want? Some donut places do too much with their donuts. But I like the fact that this place keeps their donut flavors simple but still made in a very unique way. Sometimes, simple is just better

Croissant type donuts. These are the most amazing melt in your mouth donuts you'll ever try. So far we've only had the King Kong, which is Maple and bacon freaking amazing. And also the cherry cheesecake. Cannot wait to go back and get more and try the other flavors.

I have tried donuts at plenty of places because i truly love them, but I must confess, the donuts at five daughter's bakery is like none that you've had before. The 100 layer donuts are light a little flaky and moderately sweet. The donut team is extremely sweet and friendly. Its also interesting how the owner started making donuts, and i am so happy to promote a female led business. The donut shop in gulch is quite pink and vibrant, i love how they display every sample of the donuts with labels. I have my eyes on the cookies too, i shall try them soon in the future. Meanwhile, its the best donut shop, you're truly missing out, if you haven't tried them, yet

The best donuts in town! Literally came in to order 1 donut to pair with a cup of coffee but nooooo we ordered about 6 to bring to our family to share. We didn't feel like they should be left out! Customer service was so amazing and so patient with us because we kept changing our minds between what donuts we wanted and not! 100/10! Absolutely must try

Yummy! This is a unique donut experience. They have 100 layer donuts which is a cross between a donut and a croissant. We tried 6 different kinds: Grasshopper Blueberry lemon Triple raspberry Cream cheese sticky bun Chocolate sea salt King Kong (maple bacon) My personal favorites were the blueberry lemon which was infused with a tart lemon curd, the chocolate sea salt and the King Kong. The Bakery is open all day every day (unless they sell out). So swing by for a sweet treat!

Family owned bakery, best known for their "100 Layer" croissant style donuts. They also offer paleo cake donuts, cookies, other pastries, and specialty drinks. They currently have 8 locations in Tennessee/Georgia. I stopped in on a weekday afternoon, and they were completely sold out aside from two flavors: "The Purist" (a glazed cronut), and a paleo chocolate/peanut butter cake donut. I opted for both. The interior was charming, and the staff were friendly, but I was admittedly put off by the Bible verses on the packaging. "The Purist", a glazed Cronut, was just okay. I enjoyed the creamy, buttery glaze, but the layers were thick, heavy, and wet. The paleo donut was better than I expected, with a moist crumb and a rich icing. It was extremely oily though. I took a couple bites of each, and could not continue.

FOOD The donuts here are worth the hype, ordered gluten free and a maple donut. AMBIANCE They were doing construction in the building, so all I could hear was the work being done while waiting in line. I couldn't talk to my partner or even hear myself think. I wish they would do this after hours and would have made my time much more enjoyable here.

We stumbled upon this bakery, which was cute and had a nice layout. The workers greeted us when we went in and were especially helpful since this was our first time. They explained the different pastries they offered. We got five pastries: salted caramel doughnut, mini purist, mini pumpkin spice latte, mini cinnamon sugar, mini apple. I wanted to love it, but they were overly sweet and this is coming from someone who loves sweets especially doughnuts.

Minimal, modern and trendy- oh and delicious donuts. Small line, moved quickly. Several options to choose from.

You have to stop by this bakery if you are in the area and even if you are not! I have had this place bookmarked ever since I started planning my trip to TN and I finally made it in. We stopped by around 4pm on Tuesday and we were quickly greeted by the very festive and cute building. We walked on in and the gentleman working quickly greeted us and told us the bakery would be in the room next door. We went right over and looked over the doughnuts they still had available. There weren't many doughnuts left so we got a sugar cookie one and a strawberry one. A lot of their selections were already sold out for the day but we were happy with the flavors we got. We ate them back at the hotel and we were in love! I had never tried anything like these doughnuts and I wish we had bought more. On the inside they were soft, moist, and each layer was delicious. The sugar cookie one had cream inside and it was sooooo good! I wish we had a shop like this nearby as I would totally frequent it. This was the best birthday treat to myself and I am so glad we stopped by! Great doughnuts, such a cute building, and friendly service, thank you!

Great Donuts Now In The Gulch! Five Daughters has long been at the top of the list of Nashville's Best Donuts. But now, we don't have to go to 12 South to get them. The old Starbucks space has been filled by Five Daughters, offering their delicious donuts, cookies, and coffee. The Vanilla Cream 100 Layer Donut is still my favorite. It combines the delicious 100 layer donut with the rich and sweet Vanilla Cream filling. If you're wondering what to try, try this one first.

Recently came here while in town. The donuts were so tasty and the staff was really helpful. The line was short the morning we went but i can definitely tell that there is usually a long line. Parking was easy in the back. we got a half dozen so we could all try different things. None of the donuts disappointed. I can't wait to come back and try their other flavors!

This is a take out only location. There was a line of customers on a Saturday morning, with several parties ahead of me, but it only took a couple of minutes before it was my turn to order. I only ordered one donut to try it out and afterwards kind of regretted not getting more. 100 Layer Donut - The Purist ($4.75) - This is a good quality cronut that is well laminated. The layers are very easy to put apart. Crowning the top is a sweet icing (just a normal donut glaze) but it's a thin layer so it's not overwhelmingly sweet. The croissant is moist, buttery, and fluffy. There's a thin perimeter of crunch around the pastry which gives a nice textural contrast. Not much else you could ask for in a cronut. I would have gotten more had I not already have gotten a bunch of pastries from another place down the street.

Cute little shop! I was intrigued just by the aesthetic but the donuts are so worth it! They're light, fluffy and decadent. I really liked that they offered mini versions too. We ordered a mini cinnamon donut (not the actual name, can't remember it) and the cinnamon flavor was really strong but not overpowering. I really enjoyed the strawberry donut. It was the perfect sweetness. It's a cute little shop and the perfect place to enjoy a treat in 12 South!

We tried three donut shops in Nashville when we were there after someone told us about a donut tour. This was a really good donut. They were so thick, yet very airy at the same time. This was our second place choice. I guess because it was the most expensive of the three. But the donuts were amazing.

Some places are overhyped, Five Daughters is not. This place really lives up to its name! I came by in the morning to get my favorite flavor- vanilla cream. The cronut base is perfectly flakey and the vanilla cream is soft and fluffy. I love this flavor because it's not too sweet! Parking is hard to find like anywhere one 12th Ave S so I recommend street parking on any of the side streets. I know the $6 price for a donut is steep, but I promise, it'll be the best $6 you'll ever spend!
