Best donuts & selection is top notch! I?m a donut snob, chocolate icing on the long John?s is incredible! The fluffy glaze & glaze twist with the icing is fluffy and tasty! Very few donut places hold a place in my heart and belly! They have cookies, cinnamon rolls, don?t holes, holiday selection and flavors on donuts and cookies as well! $15.75 for a mixed assorted dozen!
On my way from KY to EVV I wanted to pick up a few dozen donuts for coworkers and Rolling Pin popped up as highly rated so I swung by. It?s a small shop but you can see in the back how many supplies they have piled up which tells you they along a lot of donuts through this place- and it?s no wonder why- they?re delicious. If you want sugar-laden fried and glazed fakeness- not the right place for you. These are baked with care and topped with actual shop-made glazed and spreads, and fillings. The result
I lived in Owensboro for about 25 years and whenever my family wanted donuts, Rolling Pin was our only pastry shop we would patronize. Since retiring and leaving the Owensboro area, my children and I continue to visit and always stop by to pick up a few dozen of your delicious donuts and pastries for my family. My daughter who lives in St. Louis and she does the same. Now all her friends are in love with Rolling Pin.
Best donuts you?ll have. Every time I come back home to visit I get them.
I don't understand the hype. They're overpriced donuts. 1.60 per specialty donut. If you're just getting a few, sure. Not for feeding a crowd. I've had better from Walmart bakery. Pass.
Killer glazed. 1 of the 2 best in town. Wide selection. Friendly staff. Can be packed on a weekend mornin, so you might want to call ahead
Their donuts are a little more on the sweet side but still delicious and soooo fresh! They had a good variety to choose from, but if you wait til after 9, you might have to hang outside cause this place was packed!
The greatest possible addiction. They do what they do exceptionally well. Everyone there is smiling. Saturday morning is standing room only and worth every minute of it.
When I was younger I didnt see the big deal about this place. I liked Krispy Creme better. But now I like these donuts quite a bit. Nothing beats a donut from a local shop.... So good
Ordered 4 dozen donuts and they came in a box like this. They make good donuts but have incompetent workers.
I can understand why this donut shop has such outstanding reviews/ratings. The donuts were exceptional; light, fluffy and delicious! The price per donut was very reasonable. I will definitely be back again!
I stopped in today for my first time.. I ordered a dozen but only got 11.. lol.. Very tasty though.. Staff was very friendly..
Best donuts ever. Was born and raised in Owensboro, and the donuts here are still the best I have ever had.
the people there are super nice and there donuts are the best in the city !! I love it all but just yesterday October 22 2024 I went down to get a few donuts for my parents as a little gift/treat and then also got a orange juice, donuts were great as usual but when I opened the orange juice there was mold all around the lid and the top of the drink... immediate no .
There is a GREAT selection of donuts and pastries. The staff is wonderful. A definite must go to spot!!
Best donuts in the world! Quick & friendly service, and the donuts are always fresh. Prices aren't bad, around $16 for a dozen that we picked out, so you don't have to get all the same kind.
We?re partial to cake donuts and they are yummy! Great service.
They've always had incredible pastry. I only wish they still made cakes.
These are by far the best doughnuts that have ever existed. I?ve been to many different location across the country and eaten lots of different doughnuts thinking they would be just as good but am always disappointed. These doughnuts are so good and fairly priced. This is the only place I will ever buy doughnuts again and have been doing so for years. Just try them for yourself and you won?t regret it.
Rolling Pin Pastry shop is very wonderful place to get Doughnuts there. Employees there are very nice and friendly. One of your employee who works there name David who rides the bus is very nice and friendly and very wonderful person who works there. He helped a person in a wheelchair. He took the Doughnuts to the guy in the wheelchair to his car.
If I had to choose between saving my bf or a life time of free rolling pin donuts, you can catch me at man?s funeral eating a chocolate long John
My favorite donut shop for 70 years- and, I?ve been around the world. The iced raspberry filled donut is my fave, but you can?t go wrong!! (No specialty coffee, just grab a pint of milk!!)
These donuts are so amazing that I took a dozen back to Georgia to share with family and friends...everyone agrees and we have 5 or 6 shops there...none compared to these. I am a travel Healthcare worker and will be sad to leave this contract just because of these donuts. Maybe I can convince them to ship??
Best appler fritters around ! My go to donut shop !
Ordered glazed donut holes, need less to say we got fried balls of dough with no glaze. This used to be our favorite donut shop. Thinking twice before coming back.
Rolling Pin is and always will be by far the "Top Tier Echelon " when it comes to looking to purchase some donuts. Their without a doubt the go to place, the #1 donut shop, the standard for which all other donut shops have to compare themselves to. And have been in business here in the heart of Owensboro for some 73 years & 3 generation's as well. And they now have this new donut called the Peanut Butter donut, you have to try one of these if your a fan of peanut butter. I promise you that you won't be
Came early on Sunday morning, and could tell immediately this place was popular with lots of customers. MK took our order of a dozen donuts with a dozen donut bites & gave great suggestions. The maple bacon, chocolate dipped, and blueberry cake ?? 100% delicious!
I was lucky having grown up within 3blocks of the best donuts known to man. When my Mom would pick up a dozen (usually once a weekend) it was like love inside the box! I can't say that the Chocolate Long John isn't my favorite but then again I can't have one without having a Raspberry Jelly too.. they just go so well together! The Apple Fritter (Mommas favorite!) is just delicious period! Wash any of them down with an ice cold bottle of milk or your coffee to top it off.. I love this bakery , it's kind of l
Been coming here since I was a little girl, best chocolate long John I?ve ever had in my entire life! We come down from Chicago and get several dozens to bring back home, everyone here agrees you guys have the best chocolate long Johns in the world! We?ve also tried other donuts as well from here, everything is phenomenal! Wonderful people! Thanks guys!
This is a wonderful family owned local landmark. They absolutely produce the highest quality pastries & have a large variety to choose from so it's easy to find something for everyone.. the hard part is to pick just a couple. The staff have always been friendly & work quickly to get people in & out quickly.
Every time I go back home to Kentucky I have to go two places. The rolling pin has the best doughnuts. I always have chocolate and coconut long johns , I?ve traveled to a lot of places, but I?ve never had anything close to it! Delicious!! The other place I go is Old Hickory. I have to have mutton too. Ill eat the long johns before and after the mutton. Thanks y?all for making the BEST doughnuts ever!!!!
Outstanding donuts! Found them and visited based on their strong Google Review rating. Glad I did! The only hard thing about going there was trying to make a decision on which ones to pick! Highly recommend. Maple frosting was my favorite, but they all were really good.
This place is the best in town to get donuts! It?s always a good time whenever someone brings Rolling Pin donuts. There is usually a line to get in the place when I drive by. Every local I have asked since moving to Owensboro has said that Rolling Pin is the best around. I haven?t had anything better!
Sooo good & great customer service! Stopped in for a quick treat after a trail ride, and right away knew I?d be getting more than just a ?quick treat?. So many varieties, and everything looked really nice! I ordered a few, and as I was paying, offhandedly mentioned it was my first time in Rolling Pin, and was told to hang on a minute. The nice lady disappeared to the back, and came back up with a bag full of ?a few ones? I didn?t order. I was blown away. Thank you for the equally awesome experience & donuts
As a child, our father would frequent Rolling Pin to the delight of myself and my siblings. We lived in the east end and didn?t have to drive far. Dad would bring home a mixture of the sugared round, donut holes, chocolate long johns, coconut crunch long johns and raspberry jelly donuts. Chocolate milk from their cooler would complete our treat! Dad knew just what we all liked! I?ve moved several times over the years, but never too far to drive to Rolling Pin. I?m now in my senior years, and my husba
Rolling Pin Pastry Shop made assorted donuts and muffins for my daughter's baby shower brunch. They were very friendly and the food was wonderful. Highly recommend. Thank you so much for making everything perfect?
I challenge you to find a better long john. I'll wait.... This place has the fluffiest and most delectable icing for their doughnuts. Every flavor I have ever tried has been a hit. Sometimes people think you're exaggerating or they just straight up don't believe you when you tell them about this place and how it beats any other doughnut shop anywhere- then they try it and become believers. I'm in love with the classic chocolate long john, but they also have a maple doughnut that satisfies my sweet tooth. D
Wonderful fresh doughnuts. This was our first visit and they were very friendly and generous. Best apple fritters I've ever had. Will come back next time we pass through. Thanks Rolling Pin!!!
This is by far the best donuts around. Owensboro even has Diane's, Dunkin' and used to have Krispy Kreme. Out of all of them the donuts here are just superior. You know it's true if you've ever been by here and seen the line waiting to get in at the crack of dawn. People just can't get enough. My kids love their sprinkle donuts and I'm old fashioned and prefer their chocolate glazed. They have a peanut butter filled that's really good and everyone I've talked to loves their maple bacon donuts. I live about
So I?ve heard a lot of hype on this place finally decided to try it. Not sure how so many 5 stars honestly. Ate some dry doughnuts. The red velvet was surprisingly dry and crispy. Cinnamon twist was ok, it?s a cinnamon twist. Apple fritter was good. Price was a little higher than expected especially for the quality. Ordered a bee cookie and was given a lady bug. Long long wait and not sure why. I don?t know, maybe just not for my taste. Better places in the area to go if you ask me.
Wow, just wow. Awesome donuts! Traveling to see family in Owensboro and had to stop by and see what all the hype was about. They hype was real. Perfect donuts! Glaze not too sweet where it makes your teeth hurt. Will come back each year for sure!
Best donuts around! I just moved back into town and am super excited to be closer to this place. They have always been a must when going to or passing through Owensboro.
Really good donuts at a locally owned establishment.
Nest darn doughnuts ever! Sometimes hard to get unless you get there pretty early. Always fresh and delicious..wide variety of types and flavors. They make absolutely wonderful cakes.
I don't normally don't eat donuts but when I'm in town visiting, I can't resist. My favorite are the apple fritters!
All I can say is YUMMY!!! I came here as a teenager and when I?m at home I come back to get the YUMMY donuts of all kinds. I always take my family back a dozen of theses delicious donuts. Keep on doing what your doing Rolling Pin! You all are awesome!!!
Rolling pin has been great for years, I dont know what happened. The donuts now taste like burnt oil and you tell them what you want and they give you something else. Two of my donuts also had hairs in them. Change your oil, start paying attention, and invest in a hair net.
Rolling Pin makes top of the line doughnuts and cakes. We have patronized them for breakfast as well as birthday parties on many occasions! Rolling Pin is one of the best bakeries we have encountered. Highly recommend!
I think they make very delicious donuts, and ever since I discovered them I have prefered them even over Krispy Kreme. Also I wanted to say I appreciate the free donut they gave me at the Veterans Clinic the other day. Thank you. :)
Just in town for the weekend, very clean and great service! They were really busy and we were in and out in 10 mins. Great selection of donuts to chooses from. I would definitely recommend going.
Stopped in was an out of town guest, and it was a Saturday... told the lady I had never been to their location before and she kindly completed my order with an extra donut or two, and a message on the bag "Welcome to Rolling Pin." I Think I'll roll with the rolling pin for life!
Eastsider favorite! I personally pick up a dozen a week, highly recommended!
Best donuts out there. Love love them... ,
I would give it more stars but 5 is as high it allows me!! I've tried many donuts places: Dunkin to Krispy Kreme and no one touches Rolling Pin!! Now that's my opinion. Go find out for yourself...I think you'll agree!!
I grew up in Owensboro and have eaten donuts from the Rolling Pin for as long as I can remember. I've never had anything that was less than excellent from there. Every time I come home, I get something from The Rolling Pin, and I always will.
Best donuts in Town! I moved to Louisville and often wish Rolling Pin could have moved with me lol!!! I bring a dozen back to Louisville everytime I come home "Owensboro" ?? I'll take Rolling Pin over Krispy Kreme "EVERYDAY"
Best donuts and cakes in town. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Diane's on 144 is also very very good, but Rolling Pin is the forever king.
Extremely friendly n a True ol school bakery...u can taste the Quality of their baking...Donuts r Fabulous ???? ?? ????..its Definitely worth another trip to Owensboro Ky..for another Dozen..n priced so right ??????????????????????????
Me and my wife love this place we go there just bout every morning to eat we will go all the way across town just to go there even though we have a donut shop right by us lol
The only place in town to get good donuts. The chains like Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts can't even come close to amazing donuts you get here. And their cakes and cookies are just as great as the donuts.
You guys have great doughnuts......... Quality is not the problem. If your door says "open @ 4 am" then you need to BE THERE AT 4 AM !!!!! STILL CURRENTLY STANDING OUTSIDE @4:07
Everyone was very nice!!! Looked clean !!! But my doughnuts tasted like fried in old oil I'm very sorry to say. I'll try again another time.
Love their donuts! But noticed they no longer accept EBT for customers. Fresh baked products made as ordered if they don't have the amount your ordered.
I was visiting Owensboro and found this place which had donuts that reminded me of my childhood. These things were awesome!
You know it's good when you see a dozen people standing in line outside at 7:30 a.m., socially distancing, none of them making eye contact with each other, grateful for once for the masks that can hide their shame as they await the sweet, sugary, blissful embrace of Rolling Pin's deliciousness.
The BEST doughnuts in Owensboro!! Staff is great, friendly, clean environment, the smell is phenomenal. It's heaven ????
Best donuts in the state hand down. I dont understand why other bakers can't make donuts the same. We came from Louisville just for rollin pin.
The donuts were delicious! Best donut place we?ve found up here.
Best donuts in Owensboro! Large variety of flavors for varying tastes, plus they offer cookies and brownies.
Long john aren't my style I didn't like the icing on them it was like crusty on top ..but I got the strawberry filled jelly donut which was awesome I loved it !! It was my first time stopping in !!
I never really was a fan of doughnuts. Until I had Rolling Pin. I went every morning for nearly two weeks straight! I got burnt out on em, but ill be back soon!
Best chocolate long john that I?ve ever eaten in my life. Clean, friendly staff, huge selection and everything looked delicious! We?ll be back!
Always has a wide variety and they are always good and fresh. Been going there since early 1960s and still best cakes and cookies, and donuts, best in Owensboro.
Delicious. Absolutely blows me away everytime. Been the only place my family ever goes for donuts.
Amazing as always and the strawberry cake donuts r my new favorites I believe. Strawberry cake holes would be super good too I bet
It's not too far from where I live, tasty, delicious donuts!! The only trouble is that it's almost always crowded. Other than that, it's my favorite bakery!
These doughnuts are the only REAL doughnuts, they are the best ,along with , very true service.. have been coming here for years.. love it
I have never tasted a better donut! When I lived out of state, every visit home included a stop a Rolling Pin.
Wonderful donut shop with in house made donuts. Clean and friendly.
Awesome donuts wonderful and friendly staff makes 3 times I've been there will be going back
Visiting from Maryland, first time at The Rolling Pin. Wow! Very friendly, great selection, VERY tasty!! I'm warning you, I'll be back! :)
Drove through 4 counties to get to this place. Best doughnuts in America. Polite friendly fast service.
Fast service and the staff is always friendly! The donuts are great, I would definitely recommend this bakery
Great bakery. Just wish they'd make more chocolate long johns as been out of them at my last 2 visits.
Always so great. I have a decent amount of success staying away from sweets. Then someone brings Rolling Pin.
I think they are doing an exceptional job considering all the guidelines they are having to follow during this re-opening phase. We got through the line pretty quickly.
I've been going to Rolling Pin since I was a kid. Always wonderful! Love going there, anytime I'm going through Owensboro!
Favorite childhood place to get donuts and still is my favorite when I come home to visit and got to have some to take home to Lexington
