Best Doughnuts in Indianapolis · Indianapolis, IN
Long's Bakery has fried and glazed doughnuts in Indianapolis since 1955 — a cash-only, no-frills counter where the yeast doughnuts come out warm and the line forms early. Locals order by the dozen, glazed and chocolate, and the recipe hasn't budged in 70 years.
An unpretentious Indianapolis morning institution, Long's is the 2026 Centurion Award winner for Best Bakery.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
