Five Daughters Bakery | 12th South

I can't have dairy, so I'm always looking for good pastry shops I can eat at. This is by far the best doughnut I've had to date.

This little bakery has the most Amazing donuts I’ve ever had. Absolutely make your way to this gem in the Gulch neighborhood of Nashville

Stopped in while walking 12th street and decided to give it a try. For being open late they don’t keep things stocked. We came in at about 2pm and there were about 5 things to choose from so I don’t know what they’re selling in the evenings. The cinnamon roll was super good but not worth 6$. The cronut was super dry and bland. Maybe the donut would be better earlier in the day. Not worth the cost for sure.

Love the patio space, street parking that's nearby, and the cronuts (croissant doughnuts) are amazing.

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 can’t tell you the number of times we’ve been here over the years. Big fans. But today my daughter and her friend said “you need to leave them a 5 star review because we had so much fun!” So I’m here to leave a five star review to tell everyone how much fun my daughter and her friend and I had and the donuts are the best. Thank you guys!

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.
