Fossmeyer's Bakery

Fossmeyer's Bakery

Reviews Summary

Fossmeyer's Bakery is widely praised for its fresh, tender, and delicious donuts, with standout favorites like apple fritters, orange cranberry, and custard-filled varieties. Many highlight the friendly, efficient staff and appreciate the drive-thru model, though some find it slow. The shop's popularity means early arrival is essential, as items sell out quickly—a point of pride for some but frustration for others. A few critics note smaller portions, sparse icing, or firmer dough, but most agree the quality and taste are exceptional. Supporting local and the bakery's scratch-made approach are frequently mentioned positives.

Customer Reviews

A+ all around great place. Wish we could go in again to pick out donuts but we all make it work.

Drive up only is incredibly slow. Donuts aren?t worth this long of a wait.

Every time we try to go here, they are always sold out. They started closing at 10 AM because they sell out so often, but the picture below was taken just before 9 AM. I?ve never been to a donut shop in my travels that closes at 10 AM. I appreciate that they are so popular that they sell out regularly, but it seems like they should make more donuts and hire more employees who will work after 10 AM instead of turning away customers. They seem complacent and unwilling to make a change in order to better serve

I appreciate the drive-thru only model now. It keeps the line moving. Fast, friendly and delicious!

These donuts are amazing!! I don?t get to Vincennes early enough to get them often, but if I?m in town when they are open, I will absolutely be there!

Get there early because they always sell out. Pre-order on Thursday for Fritter Fridays! Their apple fritters are ginormous and so tasty. My favorite is the custard filled. I've never had a bad experience, and supporting local is always best. ??????

Open the doors to customers so they can see what you have and not just go through a drive through window.

We Love the taste and texture of the frosting and the cream in and on these Longjohns, but the dough is not ?yeasty? and ?tender?. It?s firmer than the doughnuts of yesteryear were. ?Yeast? renders donuts extremely soft and tasty as were the donuts of my youth. Yeasty donuts would literally collapse whenever you?d bite into them! I?m sure Yeast Doughnuts are more time con-suming and that?s probably why they?re (as scarce as hens? teeth) these days? but, as expensive as they are, no matter where you buy the

I've started taking my daughter on Friday mornings to get donuts here to start our weekend off right. Very very yummy. We do wish there was some sort of chocolate one though. Keep up the great work

Their donuts are great. He there early. They run out quickly. Part of me thinks they should make more donuts. Part of me thinks it's cool that they don't waste so much. There are never enough jellie donuts. My kids are big fans. I can never buy enough.

Went there this morning 5 to 6am. Sign said drive up only. So went to drive up, about got stuck, bottomed out my car. Sign at 5 minutes to 6am, sign said'Sold out'. I left. Had only been there a couple of times before. Keep your doughnuts. I cannot afford bottoming out my car. Crazy .... your doughnuts aren't that great!!!! ??????????????????

Traveled from Buffalo,NY to visit our family and wanted to bring a dessert for our morning gathering. Googled donut shops and read through the reviews for Fossmeyers. I was impressed with what everyone had to say so I chose to go early. The gentleman who greeted me at the drive thru window was pleasant and the donuts....OH MY! they were so tender and fresh. My favorite is the orange cranberry as the flavor was spot on! I will be stopping again before we hit the road to head home. The only negative is that w

They have the BEST APPLE FRITTERS. Anytime I'm in town I go straight there. Today I'm waiting up to get them. I live in Indianapolis and miss them so much. Get there early cause they will be out. Thats a good thing ause it leaves us wanting more.....

The service was quick and everyone was nice. It just wasn't my favorite donut. Others that I shared with enjoyed them. They must be pretty good though, they were sold out by 9:30.

It was the first time I?ve been here. We live in FL and there are no doughnut shops that have such high quality, delicious doughnuts! The doughnuts are made fresh daily and from scratch! They are simply splendid! I rarely leave reviews, yet, I?m sitting in the parking lot writing this, so I don?t forget. Thanks for the terrific service and amazing doughnuts!! This is an amazing business for Vincennes! Thank you Fossmeyer?s Bakery!!

Not a huge fan of their donuts. I grew up on donuts from Wood's donut shop and the donuts that are sold at Fastbreak and Cantwells now, are very close to those donuts. The donuts from Fossmeyer's are not near as moist and just not as tasty

Excellent donuts and variety! Evan, the owner is a fantastic guy who cares about his product and service! You must try the chi latte donuts they are beyond amazing and what a unique offering for our community! ??

Disappointed.. Donuts were small and asked for icing? There must be gold in there they used it so sparingly. 16 for six donuts. You can do better.

Get to Fossmeyer Bakery early in the morning if you want to get any Bakery items. They sell out fast because they're great tasting and hit the spot! This is a must go place and I must eat place. Don't forget coffee or tea to go with those danishes or Donuts!

They get a 10/10 for me and family!!!! Staff is so friendly and there bacon long John is my favorite. They use the best quality ...

No donuts anytime you go here wife went at 8 in the morning for a week all sold out maybe try making one more batch more money more donuts duhhhhhhhhhhh

I have been told to try this place for quite some time and I don't regret it vary friendly staff and delicious donuts
