Customer Reviews

Usually I am not a big fan of donuts but I got this morning from Pana to bring some to my office . These are absolutely the best donuts I have ever tasted. So fresh, so soft ..yeast was yummy! Apple cream and cinnamon Crumbl were my favorites, also Boston cream was so delicious enough to spend some time to write this review during my office work hours! Thank you!

Great place for donuts and coffee. 1st time this pana donut. But everything was great. I always get the ham and provolone cheese croissants they are pretty filling for breakfast

The donuts are fantastic and the service is friendly. I?ve tried everything from the chocolate iced chocolate cake to the toasted coconut, filled, apple fritter, croissants, etc- the glaze yeast is pure heaven. Coffees hot and passable. Well worth a repeat visit.

Was not sure what to expect but boy am I glad I found this place! Amazing donuts the kind that we are used to: glazed, jelly, long johns with creme filling, pretty much any type you can think of is here. Other places you have to show up right when they make them at 6am or they just don?t have regular styles. Not here! We walked in at 1pm and their case was packed! Full of amazing sugary goodness. I love the variety and the taste is unreal! Light, fluffy, delicious! The raspberry and glazed are my favorites

My husband had made it his mission in life to find the best Boston cream donut. Pana is the only donut in town he will eat. We have been to every pana location in town and they are all excellent.

Saw that this was finally opened and decided to go try them out. I remember when this place used to be a drive up dry cleaner so it?s obvious that the parking lot it?s still set up unusually. The interior is clean and spacious and you can?t really tell that this place was anything other than a doughnut shop. I ordered a regular glazed, an apple fritter, and an old fashioned doughnut along with a latte. The staff was extremely friendly and answered my questions when I asked what was popular. The doughnuts th

I was so excited to have another donut and boba tea place opening up in Carmel because the choices here are limited. They have done such a wonderful job with the space. It is open and inviting with lots of natural light. I got a Boston Cream donut. The dough was light and airy and tasted very fresh just as you want a donut to be. The filling was the perfect amount and you got some with every bite. The chocolate on top wasn?t too sweet. This will be my new go to donut stop. The milk tea wasn?t overly

Some of the best donuts you?ll find anywhere, the yeast are so light and airy it blows my mind! Never had anything except quality food and friendly service from this place. If you?re looking for your new donut spot, this should be the top contender!

Best donuts in town and it is not even close. The service is fantastic. Made the mistake of coming in at 5am and grabbing the donuts warm. Now I have a problem!

This place is exceptional! The staff is warm and welcoming. As a repeat customer, it feels like they are genuinely happy to see you. The donuts are beyond amazing and the kids love the boba tea. This place is a must if you are looking for a great place to eat. I see they are also expanding so look we look forward to new locations to visit in the future!

The fruit tea here is amazing!! I really like the mango one personally but the tea here is so affordable and delicious.

The upgraded building looks amazing, there are nice nooks to enjoy your food, natural lighting and a clean interior. The staff are very friendly and the menu is large and easily visible. I had the traditional milk tea with a bacon egg and cheese bagel and I took two sprinkled donuts for later enjoyment. The milk tea was delicious, perfect taste and sweetness. The bagel sandwich was also very tasty and filling and made from fresh ingredients. The donuts were light and fluffy. Overall 10/10 and a welcome addi

Awesome new location for Pana. Always great donuts and nice staff!

I don?t usually leave reviews, but this place deserves one. From the very kind people who work there, to the cleanliness of the place, to their amazing donuts! This place Hands Down makes the best donuts I have ever tasted and I have been to many. They have such a huge selection. Pana also makes sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch. Cant wait to try one of their lunch sandwiches. Sure to be amazing as well. There are many choices of beverages as well, and the coffee is fantastic. I will not go to any

I really love how each employee takes care of an individual customer. No one waited long at all! The donuts and crullers were so fresh and perfectly glazed!

Tried this for the first time. WOW, this was the fluffiest donut I have ever had. I got a chocolate iced with sprinkles. It was SO good. I cannot emphasize how fluffy it was. We will definitely be back.

Best donuts in Carmel. Simple, but very fluffy and fresh.

The donuts are amazing, but the employees are the best. Accidentally left my phone and they swooped in and put it behind the counter.

I consider myself a bit of a donut snob. Pana makes the best doughnuts I have ever had. It is obvious the careful attention to detail they put into their recipes. When you think of a cream filled long John usually you think of heavy and way too filling. Nope. Light, fluffy and delicious! 10 out of 10!

Happy to see that the Carmel location is now open! Pana donuts are delightful especially the maple filled donuts. They have a variety of cold beverage, coffee, tea and sandwich options. The English toffee cappucino was delicious. Nice wide open cafe seating with power outlets. The only negative is that they close at 6pm and no wifi available. (???????)

Great customer service, when waiting in line they have a number of team members servicing customers so it's a short wait. They also gave a free donut to my daughter and myself as well. The seating area is great and the donuts were fantastic.

Excellent quality! My favorite place to grab a doughnut and coffee in Carmel.

it was so amazing donuts & iced coffee omg i?m dying for this! i highly recommend you guys to go!

Best doughnuts in Carmel! Customer service is on point, they go above and beyond. The facility is super clean. (Great place to finish homework) They always have a great selection, have not been disappointed yet.

Best donuts I?ve had in this state!!!!! The glaze was pillow of dough that melted in your mouth.

I always get milk bubble tea with tapioca and a coconut cake doughnut. It?s always good and it?s very affordable

Been coming here since 2022 or 2023 a little fuzzy. Nobody order red velvet donuts. They all are mines for the taking. I?ve said too much.

Delicious donuts and milk tea! All of the sales ppl were lovely and recommended the buttermilk cake donut, which we loved! So glad that this location opened into this area.

Oh my my my my when I say these are the best donuts in Indy. Thats the Only place I'll keep going back

Came in on 10/13/24 and purchased two Bostom cream donuts. The donuts were alright, but I was surprised neither one of them had the cream in the center. It was really disappointing and makes me reconsider going back to the Carmel location.

Staff is so friendly and the donuts are INSANELY good.

Perfect donuts for super cheap. Light, fluffy, not too dry, not too moist.

Excellent donuts, drinks, and service. We'll be back often!

I do not have enough good things to say about this place. They're kind, they're helpful. They're considerate.

Amazing, fresh donuts. They had so many good choices that I couldn't just settle for a dozen, I had to get a dozen and a half.

First time at Pana Donuts. There's a reason they have 5 stars: donuts done right. These are simply the best donuts -- period.

Kronuts chefs kiss. Very affordable sandwhiches.

Great service. Amazing fresh soft doughnuts. I am beyond impressed. Best doughnut chain in Indy. Boba is really good too!

DELICIOUS doughnuts! They have a wide variety of traditional doughnuts. I tried the buttermilk- so good! Affordable coffee too.
