Did you know Hendricks County has some of the best homemade doughnuts money can buy? I’m so excited to write about one of my new favorite places - Hilligoss Bakery in Brownsburg, Indiana.
I'd heard and read so many good things about Hilligoss that I decided to check it out. I'm not one to get up early on Sundays, but on a recent Sunday I got up earlier than usual and headed to Hilligoss Bakery.
If there are really good, homemade doughnuts involved, it’s a reason to get up early.
Hilligoss Bakery is a locally-owned, full-service bakery and is located on Main Street (U.S. 136) in Brownsburg.
Because Hilligoss Bakery is so popular and I arrived a little bit later than I planned, they were already out of several kinds of doughnuts. I decided to order a glazed yeast doughnut and my favorite, a cake doughnut with chocolate frosting on top.
Of course, I bought a small bottle of milk to go with my doughnuts. Homemade doughnuts and milk = a fantastic Sunday morning breakfast.
And the taste?
Awesome! To me, a warm, freshly made, homemade doughnut remains one of the best treats ever.
Overall, I thought both doughnuts were so good, but the standout was the cake doughnut with chocolate frosting. It was warm and topped with gooey chocolate frosting. I can’t stop thinking about how good those doughnuts were!
I definitely plan to go back soon and pick up a dozen doughnuts so my co-workers can sample them. Maybe I’ll pick up a few cheese danish also!
What you need to know before you go
- Doughnuts are around 80 cents each and $7.99 a dozen. Danish are around $1.70 each. Besides doughnuts and danish, they also make cookies and cakes.
- Weekend tip: Get there early before the doughnuts run out.
- This is a primarily pick up and go doughnut shop, but they do have outside tables that can be used during the warm weather months.
