Customer Reviews

I got a plain sugar donut, one of the best I've had in a while. Very light and fluffy but still moist. Delicious, thank you. Oh and they had Thai tea! Nice surprise.

As a self-proclaimed donut aficionado who's sampled treats from across the country, I'm rarely impressed. So, it's with immense pleasure that I report Delight Donuts in Lexington, Nebraska, exceeded all expectations. From the first bite, it was clear this shop understands the art of donut making. What truly sets them apart is their generous fillings. Every bite of the Bavarian cream and apple fritters was bursting with deliciousness ? a testament to their commitment to quality. The donuts themselves were

We ordered 1 bear claw, a cinnamon role, donut, and Bismark plus a bottle of tea and apple juice for a total of $12.60. A great price for homemade, soft, and full of flavor pastries. Clean tables! A hidden gem amongst national chains and worth the stop! Easy parking.

Stopped here during my travels. The donuts were great. And so was the breakfast sandwich.

Wonderful, amazing, and very delicious doughnuts and pastries

Came here on my way to Utah. I?d drive back just for the food. Amazing! You can tell everything is made in house, it?s all delicious. Best chocolate donut I?ve had in my life.

Always very friendly, and the donuts are freaking amazing. You need to get there fairly early to have a better selection. They sell out very fast.

Went here on our way to McConaughy Lake, and it was the best donuts I had in Nebraska, and I've been to pretty much every donut place in Omaha. Definitely recommend.

Best bakery around! Always fresh and served with a friendly smile. I love this place!!

Great apple fritters ?? and cronut ??

Friendly customer service, but most importantly the doughnuts are awesome! They have other breakfast items also, but why would you buy those when you could be eating these doughnuts? EDIT: I need to update this review. Finally tried some of the other breakfast items. Also awesome. Should have tried those a long time ago. Ham and cheese on their homemade croissants? Yes please.

Best donuts in town. They are fluffy and delicious. I got one dozen donuts mixed with the twists and filled two jalape?o cheese and ham croissant and one bag of donut holes which came to $24 and change. This place is great

I absolutely love this place! I never had a better donut anywhere

Oh my, this place was a true surprise. Coffee was decent but the croissant and the donuts were delicious.

Simply the best! My hubby & I always end up leaving with a bigger box than we had planned to. Apple fritters done how they should be. If you want those, get there early, because they go fast. That applies to all their offerings though. This is the only donut shop where I get & love the cake donuts. Also the best maple frosting/icing I've found anywhere. Just the right amount of maple flavoring, not overdone. The croissants are fresh, perfectly flaky, & delicious plain or used for anything. The ham & cheese

Delicious donuts (yeast and old fashioned. Many varieties.) Super flaky croissants, and other pastries! Only open in the mornings Tues - Sat. The lady who runs the front is very friendly and patient. The place looks a little odd from the outside, but it's a hidden gem. Stop by and try it, I'm sure you won't regret it. That said, avoid the bagels if you're a big fan (or from NY like myself lol) as they're a little disappointing. They sell bottled/canned beverages from soda coolers like a gas station and coff

Don't let the building's appearance fool you. This is hands down the best donut shop I've ever been to. The apple fritters are incredible. I want to drive through Nebraska again just to go to this shop. We went at like 4am and the selection was amazing.

Delicious!! Highly recommended ?? Better then any other donuts or pastries around. Very busy, but fast service! They're open very early, but close just after lunch. Don't let the looks from the outside scare you away - great family run bakery. They offer coffee and breakfast sandwiches as well.

They are only closed on Monday. I stopped by on my way through town and had a ham, cheese, and jalapeno filled croissant. It was fantastic! The croissant was buttery and soft. She heated it up for me and the melty cheese was so perfect with the jalapeno. I recommend these little breakfast gems.

Many people agree that the donuts from this place are excellent. There's a good variety of rolls. They also have bagels, coffee, teas, and a good assortment of cold drinks. Their ham, cheese and jalape?o bread is great and so are their breakfast croissants.

Excellent. Worth the stop if you?re traveling on I-80. Great donuts, good breakfast croissant sandwiches, fair prices, excellent service from the lady who seemed like the owner. Everyone in this shop was excited to be there - it?s a gem.

Always great to find an independent shop. The ladies here have a great thing going. Street sign wasn't lit up, but little OPEN sign was. Don't miss it. Worth a visit.

If you see or get a Pink Box from this business you are set for the day. Stop in and ask about the Pink Box. I have always!! been comfortable with saying she has the best and biggest by far, doughnuts in the State of Nebraska that I am aware of. Each one to look at is a delectable thing of beauty and the taste to follow after such a delightful visual will never let you down. She has other delights to share as well, drinks, and rolls with meat in them. Her prices are well within a standard budget and custome

The front lady was probably the nicest person I have ever met. But besides that the donuts were phenomenal. The glazed were light and fluffy. I would go here over any other donut shop around.

The donuts are sublime and if you don't like donuts (sugar breakfasts) you HAVE to try the croissantwiches or bagel breakfast sandwiches which are made with the BEST croissants and bagels. Definitely won't find a better breakfast in town. My dad has me bring at least a half dozen of their apple fritters anytime I come up to visit. I am pretty sure I will be disinherited unless I arrive with that pretty lil box in hand!

Amazing Doughnuts, Fritter and Cronuts were right up there with the best I've had. Exactly what Doughnuts should be, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Yum!

Won't find a friendlier place in the county!!! There is a reason they sell out everyday. Get there early for the best selection. Great doughnuts, great service and, most importantly, great people!!!

The woman that owns this place makes the best apple fritters I've ever had. It's a little pricey but well worth it !!! Really great donuts :):)

They have the best customer service, hands down. The donuts are great and they are very consistent with their products. We visit the shop weekly. Thank you for being awesome!

I can be hard to impress when it comes to food but their breakfast sandwiches are superb. Terrific donuts, too. Great service!

We had the egg, cheese and ham on a bagel. Freshly made. Coconut donuts and cake/chocolate icing donuts. Everything was delicious and the staff was very nice.

I love the Lo's. They are awesome people and make even better doughnuts. Mrs. Lo always remembers my order no matter how long it is between visits. The best customer service ever!

I purchased 2 items 1 Apple fritter which was good a little on the almost too sweet side and a lemon filled which was super good washed it down with milk., not a 5 no coffee made and the place could have been a bit cleaner..,

I have never had a bad donut here. Everything is fresh and delicious! The staff is nice and the service is great!

Best donut I've had in a long time. Absolutely delicious. Made a long road-trip much more fun!

Coffee was soo good and i tried their strawberry cheese pastry it was delicious. Just a little work on the greeting and smiling.
