This cute little cafe has DELICIOUS and unique donuts. I enjoyed my cream cold brew and whiskey business donut (although I wish it had more whiskey flavor). The dough is like a soft croissant donut and it?s amazing. Wish I had gotten more than one. Glad this place exists to offer people something better than ordinary donuts!
Came here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It was cold and raining thunderstorms outside so we came in for a coffee and donuts to let the storm pass. The donuts are amazing, buttery, flaky, crispy, fluffy, and very enjoyable! I had a chocolate and my girl had the snickerdoodle. As for the coffee, I tried one of their specialty coffees, white coconut mocha. She has an iced honey pecan. We both enjoyed our food and drinks. The only thing I could suggest to make this place feel better, but not
Great environment! Great selection of donuts and coffees! Plenty of room to sit in the front or the back of store. 3 donuts and 16oz coffee was $12.46.
Delicious croissant style donut and good coffee?tried the chocolate but they had a lot of interesting flavors (berry, orange, snickerdoodle). Get there early bc some were already sold out!
I grew up in Owensboro, and moved away about 10 years ago. Any time I?m back in town, I pass Gramps and always say i want to try it out. Finally got the chance to today, and it is SO good. The ladies working the counter were friendly, and interacted with myself, and my two boys. We got 6 diff donuts, and loved them all. Also got 2 hot coffees, which I really enjoyed too. It?s a cute little place! I?ll def be back
By far the best donuts ?? I have even had. Some of my favorites have been Cr?me br?l?e, old fashioned, chocolate and sap tapper.
We met Gramps! What a great place! They even have a Donut called ?Whiskey Business??dipped in homemade glaze made with the newly released Green River Rye Whiskey! Gotta check out Gramps Coffee and Donuts!
The best donuts I?ve ever had! My husband and I made an hour-long trip to try these donuts and we will be back sooner than later! We tried 6 different donuts and each one just kept getting better. A fresh glazed was perfect on a cold day, but the Creme Brulee donut was a close second. We went back for a second order to take some home to family ??
By far the best donuts in town. I know many of the locals claim other places as better donuts, but I've lived in Owensboro for 22 years and Gramps is 100% the best. In addition to delectable donuts that rotate in variety, they actually have good coffee to go with it, and comfortable seating. A must stop for anyone visiting Owensboro or just downtown. I will return many many times. Love this place!
Super cute place, and was pleasant to find out that the owners are working behind the counter. This shows pure pride in their business. Such a wonderful local business. When come back to Owensboro, I plan on coming back here. Great coffee as well. Picked up a few bags to try later.
Worth rerouting our drive from Texas. I love donuts and these are outstanding. You not only see and taste the difference, you can feel the difference in the texture of the bite. Don?t even attempt to compare to a chain donut shop. These are unique and worth the effort to get to Owensboro. If you are already in Owensboro and haven?t tried Gramps, you are missing something amazing. We even got to visit with Gramps!! He makes the place. Super friendly - joy and love ooze from him like the fillings in the don
For my birthday a few days ago, my husband took me to a couple of different donut places this one is by far the best donuts, the best atmosphere, and wonderful people there. Even just the people that were already there eating said hello and Good morning. This was by far one of the best places not only in Owensboro but the surrounding areas as well. My favorite donuts was the bourbon one and the caramel one that was kind of toasted on the top (I can?t remember the actual name)
We are always quickly greeted by the friendly staff. The donuts are amazing, our peanut allergy kiddo was able to enjoy them as well. We had teas and lemonades since we can't drink caffeine and they don't offer decaf espresso. Which is my only desire for this awesome place. The building, decor, and branding is great. Big back room perfect for studying, maybe even hosting a Bible study/small group here. ??
Stopped here for an afternoon coffee and snack and don't regret it. Not your typical donut maybe more like a pastry but very good. Coffee was excellent as well.
This place was dialed in ?? Today was our first time going. Went in with $20 (in a hurry to get to church) & just asked for a variety for $20 bucks. They said they could do 6 for $15 & some change. So that's what we got. Ran to the restroom. Came out, they said they had us ready. Got in the car to leave, opened the box just curious & they snuck an extra maple doughnut in there. It's the little things. That kind gesture did not go unnoticed & the doughnuts are THE BEST. Great job ladies ?? 11/10
Love this coffee shop! The donuts are delicious and the vibe is very welcoming. I will be back.
Great place for donuts and coffee. Very clean and inviting. Donuts are made on site and very good. Coffee is excellent. I highly recommend Gramps. 6/10/22 still a great place for a coffee and donuts. Free WiFi as well.
Great service, great atmosphere, great coffee and great "donuts"! A must stop in Owensboro... and you might even run into Gramps himself! So fun... give it a try, you will not be disappointed.
Gramps is THE SWEETEST! Couldn?t decide on a donut because they all look incredible ?? it?s rare to find a place that does more than one thing exceptionally well. Stop in for some coffee and a donut (or two!) you won?t regret it ????
I came here because I had heard great things from around the community, and I have to say, I was definitely impressed! The coffee is smooth, great quality, and flavorful?hot or cold! I had the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, and it wasn?t too sweet or too strong, just right! And the donuts are astounding. They are a more unique dough texture for donuts?they are flaky and wonderfully soft. The Apple Cider Donut is a fall favorite, and tastes absolutely delicious. I highly recommend giving it a try. Simple, cozy,
Friendly service, welcoming environment, great coffee, and amazing donuts! They also have their own small parking area, which is really convenient. We?ll definitely be back the next time we?re in town!
My kiddos and I visited while in town for a dance competition. The coffee was great and the donuts were so delicious. I told my husband when he gets back from his Military school we would have to visit again.
What a perfect spot for coffee and doughnuts! First time here and everyone was so nice explaining each flavor and gave recommendations, even made a pup cup for us! Had the pleasure of meeting Gramps himself, who was also so very kind! Highly recommend stopping in any time you?re in Owensboro! Thank you for the great start to our remaining drive up to Wisconsin!
Legitimately the most incredible donuts I have ever eaten in my life, and that is not hyperbole. That statement comes from someone who?s had many donuts from many places for many years. I had their maple ?sap? and The chocolate ?goodness gracious.? I was there for only three days visiting my wife?s grandmother and found Gramps by happenstance on day one. I was there on days two and three! I was even a couple of minutes late for church because of it. Now when I visit Owensboro, I won?t just see my wife?s gra
Best coffee in town and the donuts are quite the treat to go with it! Also a good place to work in you WFH. There is also a small room in the back that can be reserved for meetings if you wish, no charge
Great coffee and friendly service. They are well known for their yummy cronuts.
A beautiful establishment with delicious coffee!
I?m not going to lie, anytime I see a really aesthetic-looking coffee shop I expect good vibes but bad coffee. Not Gramps. Oh. My. God. As a self-professed pumpkin spice latte connoisseur I can say this place has the best one. Gorgeous interior and food and drinks to match. If you are a PSL fan like me, you are missing out.
First visit to Gramps Coffee and Donut shop. The donuts were fantastic and the service was exceptional!! I highly recommend trying Gramps donuts ??
Cute, quaint decor. Friendly staff. Quick service even when busy. All 7 donut selections at time of visit - two I tried: delicious! Lattes, hot chocolate, tea, soft drinks available - no decaf though. Tic-tac-toe!
Donuts were AMAZING and talking with Gramps each morning was a high point of the day. Great family owned business that I highly recommend.
Really delicious donuts and coffee. I got the Easy Peasy donut and a Banana Foster iced coffee. The staff were really nice and the building is beautiful, will definitely come back next time we are out this way!
So, so, so good. Stopped here during a short stay in Owensboro and we weren't disappointed. The place is cute and had a line out the door when we came on Saturday morning... but it moved relatively quickly. The donts are sweet and soft with crispy edges. Not your typical donut, but one worth trying (again, and again, and again). The coffee was also quite good.
A nice spot! I loved the atmosphere and the decor, and the staff was very friendly! The donuts are pretty unique, and very tasty! Grab alot of napkins tho! My wife said the coffee she got was great as well, so I'm sure it's solid, I'm just not a coffee person. They had good lemonade however!
These doughnuts are so unique and delicious. You will not be disappointed. Great coffee, fast service this place is a must try!
Absolutely loved our experience at gramps! The coffee and donuts were both delicious and the atmosphere was great! The owner is very friendly and the service was fast! Highly recommend giving them your business!
Came to Owensboro for cheer and stopped here for coffee and donuts! Some of the best donuts I?ve had and the coffee was great! Kicking myself in the butt for not ordering more donuts to take home with us ??
We went for the first time yesterday, we been wanting to go for awhile. The barista was super nice and helpful! I got the sweater weather latte with oat milk and my husband got Carmel white mocha with oat milk and we had to try the donuts they were so good! I could barley eat just one!! I Def recommend!
This might ACTUALLY be the best donut I?ve ever had. Wow wow wow. I stopped in to get some for work and just based off of how good they looked, I had to get myself one too. I?m so glad I did. Amazing. And great atmosphere!
I went for coffee, which was quite good, but decided to grab a couple of doughnuts to take back to the hotel. Best doughnut I have ever had! I got the Back In My Day and the Cinnamon Sprinkle and had to keep myself from eating both of them before I got back to the hotel to share with my husband. Cute place, easy to park, great service! Highly recommend!
We actually met Gramps himself! The donuts are made with croissant batter and they are so delicious. Best donuts we ever had.
I only wish Gramps had been here when I still lived in Owensboro. Unfortunately I'll have to settle for fitting in as many visits as I can twice a year when I come into town. This place is the real deal. Easily the best espresso drinks in Owensboro (seriously, it's not even close) plus inventive and delicious cronuts. That doesn't even address the friendliest, most competent staff ever. As the youth might say, Gramps ate and left no crumbs (and so will you). What a gem, 11/10 definitely recommend.
Gramps is my favorite! Their coffee and donuts are out of this world!
Best coffee and donuts in town. The staff is quick, friendly, and takes attention to detail. Not to mention you often get to meet Gramps himself, holding the door open for guest. The coffee shop ambiance is 2nd to none. Do yourself a favor and put this on your list while visiting downtown Owensboro.
This is such a fun stop if you?re in the area. We visited family not too far away, and my dad (who is newly ?Gramps? had to take us here! We met Gramps himself, and had a great breakfast! Everything from the cold brew to the donuts made our day!
Had donuts and coffee. So clean and the service was excellent. Yum sums it up.
Donut was light and fluffy, fun flavors and different kinds Good cold brew coffee. If I was not just here for work I?d love to bring my kids here
Do not hesitate. Go to this place for a great treat! You?ll not regret it. Master of gourmet donuts! ?Stopped by this place for a box of donuts before heading back to St. Louis. Drove there because of the positive reviews. Got a variety pack so everyone could have some. Didn?t think much of it, but then after one bite, my husband and I immediately looked at each other with wide eyes and we both went, ?OMG. What is this? Why is this so gooooooood?? The dough alone was AMAZING. So much depth to the taste. It
Great little corner coffee and donut spot in the quaint old downtown area of Owensboro! Friendly staff, comforting and relaxed atmosphere and vibe! By the way, the coffee is amazing!
Stopped in for coffee and donuts while visiting from Leavenworth, KS. Absolutely delicious and the baristas were polite and talented. The donuts are melt in your mouth and the coffee is superb. 5/5.
Really cute! Delicious speciality donuts and fun specialty drinks. *For out-of-towners or fellow low-caffeine folks - no decaf available
Very unique and tasty donuts, really good strong coffee with neat flavors that rotate just as much as their donut flavors do, and the people working there are all so nice, I'm so happy this place opened. We go there for special treats cause the donuts are super indulgent. I love seeing the rotating flavors they have and have not been disappointed yet!!
We absolutely fell in love with this place!! Cozy atmospher exposing the history of the building beautifully ( over 100 year old ceiling and bricks uncovered). Speciality Coffees and croissant donuts were so delicious! Everything was so clean! Owner and staff were so sweet and worked quickly on our order. Loved that they have their own parking as well. This made it easy for our family to get in easily. If you get the chance to experience this place, do it! It was amazing all around!! Wish more places were j
Delicious ?cronut? style donuts in a variety of flavors. Always a special treat for our family!
Wasn?t expecting such an amazing experience for breakfast! Super friendly and welcoming vibe. The drip coffee was excellent and those donuts were incredible! Had the regular glazed and it was perfectly crisp on the outside with a decadent bite and texture inside. Loved the generous glaze on top and I could tell how delightfully fresh they were. Thanks for a great start to the day!
I love the uniqueness Gramps brings to Owensboro. From the croissant style donut to the awesome space. Gramps truly is a gem and a must visit in Owensboro!
Great coffee and good donuts. The doughnuts perfect mix of new flavors without being too out there and goofy. There's some "plain" staples that are great too.
One of the best coffees that I have ever had; the donuts taste just as amazing as they look! I took my little one out as a Saturday morning treat and while we loved all of the flavors we chose, both of our favorites is the snickerdoodle donut. Amazing customer service, all of the staff were very nice!
I came to through the area on a bike ride (I?m from the Lexington KY area) and stopped by Gramps as I had been hearing good things. I was little worried I wouldn?t like it being I?m a traditional round with hole in the middle, donut guy. I loved it! The donuts are super high quality, and the coffee is really good. It is in a great location with a cool vibe. I can see it welcoming all kinds of ages and types of people. I hear good things about the owners and their love for the community. I can?t wait to g
The donuts were very good, but no gluten free options. However the staff was so rude and unfriendly we will not go back?we were the first people of the day and you would have thought we were their last customers. From the first encounter with the prickly pear that opened the door without so much as a hello. If you don?t want to be open at 7:00 don?t be open at 7:00. The manager was equally as rude, there seemed to be some tension between the two employees and unfortunately they took it out on us?so much fo
Loved this cute coffee shop! The snickerdoodle latte was fantastic. We also ordered a regular glazed donut and a chocolate donut and they were absolutely INCREDIBLE. Definitely will make the two hour trip again especially for the donuts. Staff was super friendly and the owners were very nice to their customers. :)
Love this place!!!! The donuts are the best I?ve ever had! The coffee was also amazing. The workers are so sweet as well!
Small corner bakery with a boutique feel where you can get a good cup of coffee and a donut. They have about 5-6 specialty donuts each day. They are the fried, crunchy and flaky type with lots of great flavor. They have the best atmosphere of any of the donut shops with extra seating in the back that gives it a quaint downtown feel without being dingy. Fresh flavorful coffee that pairs well with their donuts. (I drink mine black, so if your going for one of those sugar bombs of a coffee I cant help you here
So lovely! They offer ice cold water when you first walk in the door, their donuts are delicious (I recommend the snickerdoodle) and their cold brew is scrumptious! My daughter had a latte and she loved it! The crew is so sweet and welcoming! The atmosphere so comfortable, and inviting!!!!
Today was my first time coming to this Coffe spot and I absolutely loved it. After a long, busy week of work, I decided that I needed to go somewhere outside of the house and relax with a book, a little coffee and mellow time and Gramps was the spot! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile and that is the #1 way to make your customers feel welcomed. Virginia and Thomas were so sweet and gave me a few suggestions of places to go around town since I'm new to Owensboro. Thank you all so much and I ap
A ridiculously tasty donut selection paired with delicious coffee! This has to be the best donut/coffee shop in Kentucky!
Atmosphere was the best. Donuts had been made few days. Lot?s choices. Two ppl working. I was let down. I had read and heard better remarks than needed.
Donuts are amazing, brought the kiddos and we actually got to meet Gramps himself!
If you haven't tried this place out you are missing out. Their donuts are like croissants and the best donut you've ever had had a baby. We loved the berries one and the creme Brule donuts. The coffee is also fantastic..
Loved our Gramps stop. Great start to our girls day. Thanks for the yummy drinks and donuts. Cozy place to start the day.
The donuts are to die for! They are seriously the best donuts I've ever had.
One of my favorite local businesses. Gramps has a rotating menu of seasonal coffee drinks and donuts that always leave you satisfied. The atmosphere is delightful especially paired with a warm welcome from Gramps himself. The staff here are very friendly. Definitely recommend ordering here!
Gramps is a friendly place to sit and have great conversation over coffee and donuts. When your there, please stop by and say hi to Gramps!! Hes the best!!
First time stopping by on a very hot day. Decided to get a cold brew to stay cool. Service was the best Ive seen and was very helpful with me. I forget exactly which it was vanilla caramel I believe that was suggested and it was absolutely wonderful! Hit the spot thats for sure! Ill definitely come by another time and try a donut too!
Stopped by Gramps this past Saturday with my older sister and dad. We loved the atmosphere, old building but with a new twist, and I can?t leave out how good it was! Coffee was on point along with the different choices of donuts! My dad and sister loved the Banana Who! Mine was a strawberry, which was delish! Definitely will be stopping by again soon!
On the first day, Gramps opened, I left a review and I'm going to leave another. I can't rave enough on how wonderful Gramps is. Their donuts are delicious, and so are their drinks. More than that, they have some of the best staff I've ever gotten to interact with. My husband and I go at least once a week and we are greeted like friends coming for a visit. The famous Gramps (Dennis) always takes a moment to talk with us. As well as the Amy (one of the owners) and the staff. They make you feel very welcome a
Me and my son went there this morning and it was absolutely amazing all the way around it was great meeting gramps thank you so much and very good thanks again from Ohio My coffee mug
This place has great service! I love the atmosphere and if you go in the morning you can meet gramps himself. Everyone was friendly, the service is fast, and most importantly the drinks and donuts are tasty! Gramps is truly an exceptional guy and I enjoy seeing his smiling face when I come in. It has quickly became my new favorite donut spot.
Some of the best donuts I?ve ever had and the pumpkin cream cold brew was SO good!
Gramps is a place that this town didn't realize it was even missing!! The story behind Gramps is enough to make you want to check it out, and once you do... you will want it again and again. The atmosphere is super cool, the cronuts are like air yet with lots of yummy flavors, the coffee is literally the best in town, and the service is always top notch!! They even help you with that tough decision of what to drink that day by giving advice on what your taste buds like. This place has been a fantastic addit
Visiting from California, in early and had to find a place to chill before a tour. Found Gramps, local, to give a go. Delicious special Smashing Pumkin drink and great pumpkin donut! Would definitely come back again! Let?s go!!
The donuts are fabulous; so light and flakey, yet so FULL of delicious flavor!
Called and asked if they could get 4 dozens donuts ready in 15 minutes and they were packed ready to go. The group I brought the donuts to couldn?t thank me enough for bringing such a great treat for them!
In town for a few weeks and stopped at this new gem of a coffee and donut shop! I got to enjoy the most delicious donut I?ve ever had along with a fresh cup of coffee in a super inviting atmosphere! 10/10 recommend and will be back again, thanks Gramps!
Donuts are nothing like they appear to be. My husband and I went here 2 weeks ago and barely any donuts were even ready besides the glazed, chocolate, and cinnamon. We went for the cookies and cr?me donuts and the chocolate crumble ones and they had none of the chocolate crumble ones. The cookies and cream ones barely had any cookies on them at all. We also got a cookie in a cup drink, and it tastes nothing like the name it was strong and barely had any flavor.
I would give Gramps more stars if I could! The strawberry and chocolate donuts are PERFECTION. My parents were recently in town and we took them there and they LOVED it. And my mom is super picky! The place is gorgeous and everyone there is super friendly. I love this place and highly recommend it!
Stopped by on a whim. Great donuts that are as non -donut looking as can be. Chewy and gooey and flavorful. See the photos for the types and sizes. They have toppings that are more like icing and creamy spreads and really add to the experience. I found the staff to be helpful and accommodating. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by Gramps.
These donuts aren't your typical donuts! Sweet all the way through. Soft with a touch of crunch. A flaky crossiant smothered in sweet goodness! The cold brew coffee with sweet cream was amazing! Excellent taste. 3 doughnuts and 2 cold coffee's 18 bucks. A bit pricey but delicious nonetheless :)
