Thrillist compiled a list of the 32 Best Donut Shops in America, and Long’s Bakery (1453 N. Tremont Street) in Indianapolis was on it. So, the next time I was in the city, I made a point to stop.



"The bakery specializes in donuts. Their most popular is a glazed yeast donut, for which up to 20 people will wait in line on Saturday mornings. They also produce apple cinnamon frys, apple fritters, Long Johns, and cake donuts," according to Wikipedia.



They are pretty old school, because they don't accept cards, and they keep it pretty classic with their variety of donuts. Apple cinnamon, cake, glazed.



I opted for a baby alligator, which was caramel and white iced, as well as a caramel.



Now, these have a thick slab of icing, which is an instant sugar rush. And they have a sort of traditional icing that gets a little bit harder than, say, a buttercream.



These are hardy donuts, so you may not need a ton. Two filled me up pretty quickly. And I did enjoy both.



I wouldn't mind if they were a bit softer, but I enjoy these classic ones with traditional flavors, as well.
