We have been getting donuts from this place since I was little (I am 52 now). Longs has been there forever. Small place near downtown, nothing extra, but if you are from the westside, you know about Longs. Great donuts, beats anything you can get in a grocery store, they are basic hot yeast, glazed and frosted donuts and gooooood!

Melt in your mouth! When they are hot/warm. I don't know when a person would pick these up and eat them and say they are dry?? But They must be missing some taste buds. Stand in line YES! Wait for them? YES! Put up with the busy rude counter people? YES! They are that GOOD!

I think the life-long residents of Indy are looking at Long's through nostalgia-tinted glasses. The donuts are pretty good. The selection isn't very big and the people waiting on you aren't very nice. The line is long and you have to take them to-go. It's not open 24 hours. There is no chrome-edged counter with round vinyl swivel stools...no place... More

This bakery is a little hole in the wall but boy can they make doughnuts! Whenever friends come in from out of town we always have to make a trip to Long's to share this little gem and their delights. Always a favorite with everyone, young and old alike.

I truly dont understand all the hype of Longs Bakery. I could buy the same bakery goods at a Walmart. But perhaps thats just me, although Im pretty sure their donuts have always been dry when I tasted them.

Best (yeast) glazed donuts in the world!! Completely worth the wait in line for these! Do not miss this old school donut shop. They put Krispy Kream to shame.

I dislike that they are still a cash only establishment but that's all I disliked. I have been going here since I was a child and no matter what it is still the best donut I have ever eaten.

According to Trip Advisor this is the #1 rated restaurant in Indy. Hmmm... I had to go and see for myself. Getting there was no problem. Parking was a problem. They have a few spaces in the back of the store. Notice I did not say restaurant. This is a bakery store. No place to sit. Pick-up and go. There... More

We have a tradition where we order the glazed yeast donuts for race weekend. We order 6 boxes and boy are they good! My husband usually sneaks a few before bringing the donuts home for our race fan guests. Well worth the trip for the north side.

Never stale because they sell so quickly after being made. Glaze doughnuts melt in your mouth. An Indy westside tradition.
