Hilligoss Bakery

Coworker just brought them in. Perfect! Finally a real donut that rivals Long’s. I love to look at a good over the top extravagant donut as much as the next guy and realize these ‘gourmet’ places have to stand out from each other. But I don’t need a donut the size of a trailer tire, nor a giant selection of vegan donuts, nor a bunch of pies and cakes with candy all over them masquerading as donuts. Nor do I want a Dunkin Donut where every darn donut tastes the same… bland, dry dough and overly sweetened. If you love real donuts THIS is the place for you. Just try it already. My new favorite spot.

Best doughnuts ever! Always a good selection if you get there early enough. Wish they were open later I love doughnuts in the afternoon too. Lol

CASH ONLY, SUCKA!!!
Seriously, man, when you’re selling dounts for like $ 0.50 and paying something like $ 0.75 per credit card transaction, it’s easy to understand while many small businesses are cash Nazis.
I can’t tell, really, if Hilligoss is that good or if all donuts are awesome. It’s pretty much what you’d expect. Comparable to Long’s.

I got up this morning in need of some donuts so I jumped on Unilocal and found this place.
Very cute and easy to spot from Main Street I was excited when I pulled up.
It wasn’t crazy crowded for a Sunday morning, which I appreciated and the workers were very friendly and helped me choose which donuts to get.
I got a regular yeast donut and a cinnamon caramel donut. They weren’t bad, but they were a little dry. Almost as if they were yesterday’s donuts that weren’t sold so they were put back out for today. I just would have liked them to be a little more moist. The texture was the soft homemade taste that you find at good bakeries, unlike cake-​type donuts you get at Dunkin.
I’m sure I’ll go back because I prefer to support local when possible, and it’s the closest actual donut shop, that isn’t a chain, to me in Avon.

Not what I expected. Coming from Ohio I was used to good bakeries just have not found one in Indiana. Donuts we’re small and selection was under par. Not worth the drive.

Pastries were good. Service was horrible. What an impression for my first visit to Hilligoss!
The blonde woman behind the counter was chatting happily with customers inside the store. As soon as I walked in she stopped talking and looked annoyed at me. Then proceeded to be rude as I asked questions about what was in the case. If you don’t want to answer questions about what is available, label everything. She never said thank you, never greeted me and, even as I thanked HER as I left, she looked at me sideways and said nothing. Customer service is more important than what you have to eat.

There is no such thing as a bad donut here. Every donut is better than anything served at other places.

Best donuts around. Always fresh and always served to you with a smile. The variety is amazing but I’m a plain Jane glazed type of girl. I love when you bite into a donut and it makes a mess of your clothes. I recommend this place to all my friends to stop when they’re driving through town. However I always have to remind them to grab some cash. However, I’m usually spending my spare change in this place because it’s amazingly priced. Best part of my mornings is This bakery!

+3 stars for the donuts, –1 star for the service
Tried them after seeing all of the great reviews but left disappointed. The donuts were not bad but they were not fantastic either. I tried several different ones but none of them really stood out.
The thing that really put me off was the service. The person at the counter looked at me strangely (like I offended them in some way by just walking in) and was not polite. For this reason, I will not be returning nor will I be suggesting it to anyone that I know, ever.

Drove 14 miles to get to this donut shop. It was about 230 pm They had get this two I’ll repeat two different kinds of donuts. What a jokee. I bought two of each and a brownie and they were good. Ill be going back to Longs bakery in Indianapolis it’s awesome. .been there 3 times this week. Some of the best donuts I’ve ever had.

This is the best place to get fresh donuts & pastries. No comparison. Family owned business. Everything is made fresh daily. Once they sell all of the donuts, they are done for the day so you got to get there early or you’re guaranteed NOT to get any donuts. Very friendly customer service. If you are nearby, this is a MUST!

Hilligoss donuts are such a treat. I can’t think of any other donuts that are exactly like them. The dough has a great taste and consistency, with the perfect amount of glaze. They just melt in your mouth. My favorite is the jelly donut; my husband’s favorite is the cake. Prices are great (especially compared to those hipster places cropping up charging $ 4 per donut!) Service is always friendly.

Hilligos is sweet, warm love by the dozen in a white cardboard box… locked down with a thin strip of tape!
This hometown icon defines old school Saturday and Sunday morning pastries & donuts! But better still is the fact that it’s friggen GREAT all the other days too!
Be early and be cash-​en & check-​en only please.

I love Hilligoss so much! It is considered a treat for us though. They only take cash or check though both of which I never carry. You have to get there early because when they are out they are out. If you crave something you do not want to miss it. My kids love the holidays when they have the iced cookies.
They are really rich donuts that can bust a diet in a minute but worth it! Don’t ever leave Brownsburg!

With gourmet doughnut shops popping up all over Indianapolis, I feel like it’s important to celebrate the bakeries that came first and made these delicious sugary pieces of dough the classics they are today. This bakery is one of the best in the Indy area and is worth the drive to the west side to check it out!

Wandered down to Hilligoss on Father’s Day with the girls so they could «treat» their old man (me) to some doughnuts. I must say that I do love the space and the service was friendly and warm. Which is kind of what you expect from Brownsburg, but they live up to their reputation.
Being Father’s Day, I think they were «wiped out» by the time we arrived, so there wasn’t a ton of variety, but the items we picked were delicious. I was partial to the chocolate frosted cake doughnuts myself.
We will be back and hope to try some other of their creations soon. Good comfort food and a special treat.

I lived in Brownsburg for over 2 years and drove by this place nearly daily and never managed to make it in, despite hearing only good things… sad, I know.
Thankfully, I still live nearby and finally made it over one Saturday morning while running errands in Brownsburg. It was pretty busy but the cases were very full still of lots of delicious treats and the staff was working fast to keep the lines moving and inventory stocked. I was so glad I had cash on me.
I was overwhelmed by all the choices so I decided to ask the guy behind the counter for suggestions… let me tell you how my conversation went…
Me: What would you recommend?
Him: Do you have any food allergies?
Me: No
Him: Everything.
Ok, awesome endorsement of the product but I was still lost so I just started picking random stuff, you can see from the pic all that we tried, we just brought them home. Everything was verryyyyyyy good. My husband and I agreed that the stand out was the chocolate cake doughnut, it was divine, so dense and moist and the flavor was perfect. I am not even a big cake doughnut person! I had mostly picked that one for the husband.
I want to come here and get a bunch to share with my family soon, just gotta remember that it is not far from me and I gotta convince myself to get out of bed.

Rolls!
Their FRICKIN rolls!
They are perfect! A must have for our holiday meals. They only sell them on Fridays and I would suggest ordering them in advance because they go quick!
They dont accept credit cards so make sure you bring some cash.
I have been getting their rolls for years but still havent tried anything else but I suspect they are awesome as well.

Ventured outside the glazed yeast and tried the chocolate cream-​filled. OMG… pillowy softness. I’m glad the filing isn’t super rich, since the outside is covered in powdered sugar. Definitely found a new favorite.

The donuts and cookies are awesome! However, if you don’t get here until noon there’s a good chance there won’t be any donuts left. I came in at 12:30 and there were 8 left: 2 with Easter sprinkles and 6 jelly filled. So, I bought some cookies (chocolate chip and Easter egg) and one donut. All were very tasty and fresh. If you’re on the west side, go to Brownsburg for your sweet fried dough «needs»!!
