Long's Bakery
Known for: Yeast donuts glazed while still warm off the line
2 locations
Indianapolis, IN
Opened in January 1955 by Carl and Mildred Long on the west side of Indianapolis and still run by the family, with a second shop on Southport Road since 1987. It remains cash only, everything is made from scratch by hand, and prices have stayed strikingly low, with classic yeast and cake donuts under a dollar.
Open since 1955
Long family; the Encyclopedia of Indianapolis names Carl Long's grandchildren (Cindy and Joe Reine, Dennis and Mike Rinehart) as operators, and Axios and the shop's site describe it as family owned with a fifth generation training.
