Bowman J. Spalding and his wife Zelma began selling doughnuts from their home on Rand Avenue in Lexington, KY in 1929.
Five years later, the Spalding family relocated the bakery to the corner of Sixth…
The pictures don't do these fluffy, fresh donuts any sort of justice.
The packaging of the donuts, was perfect in its simplicity of a double wrapped twine string around the box-- these donuts were secured. 100%
The freshness of these donuts is unparalleled, almost as if they should have still been warm.
If you're debating between this donut shop, and another one, opt for this place, your donut craving will be more than satiated.

This place lives up to the hype! This was my first order from Spalding's, and I was not disappointed, even after trying all the other local donut shops. These donuts are not pretentious, but they are excellent. They come packed in paper boxes and tied with baker's twine - that's how you can tell they've been doing this for generations!

Spaldings is just the best. The glazed doughnuts Six Glazed Six Chocolate are to die for, the glazed with the chocolate icing are just awesome. They also had a St St. Patrick's Day Cookie with icing special this weekend and would rank it up there with one of the best. And then there is the vanilla cream filled.

The donuts are always killer but we thought the Six Glazd Six Chocolate glazed donuts were way overcooked.
