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.

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

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!

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.

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.
