10. Concannon’s Bakery, Muncie

Concannon’s Bakery has become famous for its delicious donuts! Opened in 1959, Concannon’s Bakery quickly grew and needed a new facility by 1978.

During select happy hour days, its delicious donuts are only 50 cents!  Schmidt Bakery also whips up Cherry Thing-a-Lings once a year in February as a treat to its guests.

8. Munster Donut, Munster

It doesn’t get much better than a donut run on a Saturday morning to Munster Donut. Sweet and tasty is the best way to describe its Chocolate Bavarian and Chocolate Angel Cream donuts.  Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Munster Donut is only offering curbside pick up through phone orders at this time.

7. Titus Bakery, Lebanon

6. Jack’s Donuts, New Castle

Jack’s Donuts is one of the most iconic donut brands in Indiana! Jack and Ada Marcum opened the first Jack’s Donuts in 1961 after they bought a New Castle shop. Three generations later, Lee Marcum decided to franchise, which means there are now 25 Jack’s Donuts throughout Indiana. However, nothing can beat the nostalgia of the original. From a classic cake donut to a bavarian cream-filled donut, the flavor can’t be understated. Carry-out, drive-thru and delivery are available at most Jack’s Donuts locations for visitors worried about social distancing.

5. Square Donuts, Terre Haute

Terre Haute can’t be experienced without a morning visit to Square Donuts. Just like its name indicates, the donuts are uniquely square and surprisingly fluffy. College students, locals, and visitors all keep coming back to Square Donuts, and we think you will too after your first visit in 2020.
