Denny’s Doughnuts & Bakery

This place really good! Great coffee and a wonderful pastry shop
Like to stop in every week if I have time!
Help is really nice!

I would give 3.5 stars if I could. I like Denny’s enough that I keep going back but it’s just not quite a «4 star» establishment. Regardless, I think most businesses would rather have your money than a rating on a web site and they have earned my repeat business.
Last week when I went in I tried a breakfast sandwich (sausage, egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel). It was really good! I asked the gentleman behind the counter if the bagels were made on premises and he said they were not. They are brought in from another location. They are still above average bagels. Also, the apple donuts and pumpkin donuts that are available now are pretty good.

Great donuts, nothing fancy, but sometimes you just want a tasty cake donut without all the extra fuss. Staff were nice and prices are cheap!

Wow, yum, delicious, fabulous goodness! A few of the reviews and even photos almost kept me from stoping by. But I drove right by there and had to stop it was literally too convenient. They have so many good option, try the old fashion.
The set up is totally old school including cute little old people shooting the breeze, enjoying tasty treats over a cup of joe. I was really glad I stopped by this place. I will be back and I will share the word about these wonderful donuts.

One of my favorite places for breakfast in B-​N. It looks better than it used to after the remodel and it’s fun to see the locals just hanging out talking and drinking coffeee. The food is great, just wished some of the staff wouldn’t act like it’s a pain to take your order. I think it’s cool that they will email or text your receipt.

Denny’s Doughnuts is an institution. Denny’s is located between Bloomington’s two main one-​way streets. It has floor to ceiling windows, old men in trucker’s caps sitting in «their» seats greeting regulars, and the kind of tired staff who you worry might roll their eyes if you ask a question but instead will surprise you with a quick smile that you somehow feel a sense of accomplishment for earning. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they accept credit. Oh, and the doughnuts are good too.

Average donut bakery serving average donuts. Yes, they can beat Dunkin or WalMart but when you go to a bakery you expect more.
The Orange Juice donut was the best of the bunch I purchased but still not more than a light orange flavor in a dense cake fried donut. The Banana donut was almost gross with no real bananas and some fake banana flavoring. Fake banana works in candy but not in bakery goods. There was a Butter Curl donut that I was told wasn’t available anywhere else so I tried one. Nothing special, just a yeast donut without a hole and no real special flavor. The Bavarian Crème was average too and didn’t have much filling.
I didn’t buy anything else but they did look to have a nice selection of decorated hard sugar cookies. They also serve lunch foods during the week at the next counter but I was there on a Saturday afternoon.
The location is good being on route 51 just south of the Wesleyan and ISU campuses. Not a big detour off of I55 and no more than ten minutes from most anywhere in town. I’m going to bet it the prime location that keeps this place in business and not the food.
The parking lot could use a bit of repair and the yellow parking strips are quite faded and some drivers parked where ever they wanted because they didn’t see the stripes. The general cleanliness both outside and inside was below my standards and dirty tables inside and piles of junk outside along with filthy windows makes me consider that food prep areas may also suffer from cleanliness issues. They could have gotten three stars if it were cleaner.
Pricing was very reasonable and wouldn’t be worth any higher of a price. I doubt I’ll go out of my way to go here again when I can snag the same product at any Casey’s Mart just off the expressway exits.

Hands down one of my favorite places in town. Donuts are made fresh every morning, and it’s always destined to be a good day when I’m in the area and stop in for a donut or two.
I’m extremely fond of the blueberry cake donut they have. For someone who doesn’t even like blueberries, it’s a wonder I like them. So good. I also like the orange juice donut, the cinnamon rolls, and good old donut holes.
There’s such a huge selection available every day.
Not to mention it’s nice to walk in and see a big crowd of regulars enjoying their morning routine.

Very hometown feel, there were plenty of old folks there at 11am :) Denny’s Doughnuts is 24 hours a day though. And the doughnuts were super fresh. I sat and watched traffic go by on a cloudy February friday morning… sipping blisteringly hot coffee from a styrofoam cup and munchin on some sugary donuts. What more can you ask for?

I was tickled pink when I pulled in and saw that Denny’s donuts is still alive and well in blono…
Still to this day I rant and rave about their donuts and how I cannot eat a donut ANYWHERE else. My friends all thought I was overreacting until I brought home a dozen of my favorite donuts from here! Now they’re believers… and I can continue my rightful snubnation of all other donuts…

Denny’s Doughnuts is a staple in Bloomington. I just wish that I liked their product more. I have only ever had their bagels and donughnuts, so that is all I can review. I think their doughnuts taste oily. I also am not a huge fan of their icing. Their bagels are ok, but I think they are really dense. I HATE ordering in the drive thru on Venrnon… you can not see half the menu when it’s fogged up and it’s REALLY hard to hear the people. I give them 3.

Great doughnuts, cookies and cakes! They even did our wedding cake!
