The Best Doughnuts in Nashville | Eater Nashville

"Over in Wedgewood Houston, the recently opened Hero Doughnuts and Buns holds court with its brioche-style yeast doughnuts that take two full days to make before they hit the bakery’s shelves. Hero originally started out as a pop-up in Birmingham, Alabama before spreading its wings throughout the South with its “OG” vanilla glazed, pistachio, and cereal milk doughnuts. Keep an eye out for the bread pudding doughnuts and apple fritters — they’re on a limited run and sell out fast." - Eater Staff

Must-visit if you're in the area. Super tasty breakfast sandwiches and donuts! Manager Jay was very friendly and personally came around to each person to check on their satisfaction. Will definitely be back to try their burgers!

Wow! What an amazing staff. The two guys went out of their way to assist each customer and be super personable. The food is very delicious. The bread pudding donut is a must try. It WILL change your life 😎 The other food was also made super fast.

My friend wanted to go here because it was listed in the top 10 best donut shops in the country. I got 3 different donuts to try and a sausage, egg and cheese bun. The sandwich was delicious, and the bun was better than I expected. The jam they put on it is good, but doesn't add a whole lot. I wouldn't get the jam again. The donuts were... Okay, but they were kinda dry. I got the Boston Cream, blueberry cheesecake and lemon. The blueberry cheesecake was a ring donut with cheesecake pieces on top with a blueberry icing. We got there about 11am, which I think is early enough where the donuts wouldn't be dry yet? They did not live up to the hype IMO. Lets not forget the worst part is that you have to pay $5 to park to even get here. This isn't an issue with Hero, it's just where it's located. All 3 donuts - 6.5/10 Sandwich - 8.2/10

Let me start off by saying that atmosphere and great food can be hard to come by in Nashville. It's usually one or the other but HERO really takes the cake. From Autumn making the best shakes in town to Jay running the show, this was an absolutely wonderful experience. Please come out and support them in their quest to make Nashville food great!

Nicest place in the area for breakfast sandwiches and donuts. Can only recommend it. The Egg & Cheese Fold with Bacon comes in a super fluffy brioche bun and tasty sauces. That’s my HERO every morning. Make sure you also try the donuts. Staff is super friendly, fast and efficient. All thumbs up!

Never been here before. Wanted to stop in and pick up stuff for my team at work, but never actually made it. If it wasn't for the GPS you wouldn't even know you were here. No signage to help you navigate. The parking garage sucks. At least when I go to Snooze, signs in the garage tell you if parking is covered for your visit. But I wasn't about to park and find out if I had to pay $7 to pick-up a few donuts. I'm not saying I won't pay for parking (that's Nashville), I would just like to know before walking away from my vehicle so I can make an informed choice. Turned around and left before ever making it inside.

Great hidden gem (it’s down between two big buildings). Cocktails are on the menu, and you can order burgers at 7am. Donut was not my favorite but also not the worst. Actual food menu is where it’s at IMO

Just walking in, not knowing what to expect except that it was a coffee shop with some substantial food choices and donuts. I was excited to see the bright white with red trim retro decor. The service was prompt and patient with me studying the menu. Since it was a bit after 9AM, I opted for the folded egg sandwich with a panko-crusted chicken breast. Deliciousness!!! I also had the hash browns, which were cubed-styled, topped with a yummy cheese sauce. Coke products (Sprite, Zero, Diet Coke, and Mr. Pibb!) with free self-serve refills and chewy ice. I had a chocolate-covered donut and a strawberry-covered donut. Both options were acceptable, but there was no specific justification for visiting solely for a donut. Next time, I intend to take on their bread pudding ring and/or apple fritter with one of the various coffee items.

Donuts are tasty. I went at the end of day - so they were not the freshest, but the fluff was still intact. Staff was helpful about ingredients and flavors of the day. "Herochinno" milkshake was thick and modestly sweet. The store front is not easily seen by roadside. I drove by/missed the store twice thinking HERO did not exist even though GPS stated otherwise. Wish parking was more convenient. Either park in garage (1 hr free) or take a chance @ loading zone (15 min). Now that I have found the actual store and know the parking situation, I will give HERO another trial in the morning hours to receive fresher donuts.

A decent place. Plenty of potential. Pricing is roughly 40% above similar restaurants in the area bit if you're wealthy like most newer Nashville residents it's ain't no thing y'all. $4 per donut, sandwiches $10-$18 plus sides are extra, drinks $5-$8. Place is always empty, hope they figure it out!

We've come to this Hero location a few times and it is a nice hidden gem for some of the best donuts in town. We've tried pretty much every donut place in town (Parlor, Foxs Donut Den, Five Daughters, etc) and Hero has to be our favorite. The employees have always been welcoming to us and quickly grab our donuts for us. The ambience is not going to blow your mind, but it certainly feels like an upscale donut shop. The donuts are truly the best I've had. Soft, delicious flavors, and at least 2-3 seasonal donuts which is always fun to swap things up. Even their plain glazed donut is top notch. Also, their cold brew coffee is one of my favorites in town and we look forward to it almost as much as the donuts. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed.

This is such a cool place to hang. It's such an old school diner vibe with the WeHo aesthetic in the area. The food was good and the team was very nice. I just ordered donuts from here for a work event too!

So happy this is in The Wedgewood Houston area. The burgers did not disappoint. I had the secret menu donut burger, my hubs had the dad burger and we shared the Super Buffalo Crunch. The house made pickles are to die for! Aereon was the highlight of our visit. He was super professional, friendly and informative. Did I mention the fries & hash browns are delish too?? Definitely going back to try more donuts and their milkshakes.

I bought from them at Richland farmers market. the Caucasian man saw me waiting in line and I simply asked him a question if he had more orange juice, because the person before me just took the last one on display. the Caucasian man / owner falsely accused me of jumping in line, when he clearly saw I waited in line for a long time. Not sure why he felt like lying and taking it out on me, something else he may have been upset with, or he simply is a liar.
