Great American Donut Shop — Restaurant in Bowling Green

I’ve never reviewed a business before - but I feel too strongly about this business not to. This little donut shop has played a formative role throughout my childhood and well into my adult life. When I was younger, my parents would treat me and my little brother from time to time with a trip to this magical little donut shop with the best donuts. In high school, I’d take a stop there from time to time for breakfast before school, even show up with friends routinely. I looked forward to these moments. When I finished high school, I left town for college, and every moment I was in town, I’d treat myself to GADS, and it always felt like home. Now, I’ve moved states. I’m living 16 hours away, but I still take some trips down to see family. One of the first things I enjoy doing is making a stop at this little donut shop. It seems like the same employees have been working there since I was little — they’re always so welcoming and hardworking. GADS has always made this place feel like home, and I’m so grateful for the people working there and the fantastic donuts for all of the memories and experiences I can attribute throughout my life to this little donut shop in Bowling Green. I understand that it may be closing its doors, so I just wanted to leave this review as a reflection of the impact it’s had on my life. Wonderful donuts, wonderful people, wonderful...

We’re in from out of town, helping my friend get her daughter settled into college, WKU. Happy to see a donut shop open 24 hours, wanted some coffee, and donuts to bring back to the house the girls are staying in, for their junior year. We ordered an assortment for everyone. Donuts were delicious, coffee made fresh, because we wanted decaf, taste was average, however, if you like extra cream in your coffee, there’s a catch, each coffee includes a creamer as follows, small coffee gets one cream, medium gets two, and a large gets three, so if you like extra cream in your coffee, you will get charged, .15 cents a creamer. I have never, ever had any place, anywhere that sells coffee, charge me for extra cream, WOW! The times are definitely changing I know, but this was a...

I can’t believe it has taken me over 4 years to review this absolute GEM of a donut shop. Great American Donut Shop (GADS) is the absolute best. Their no frills donuts are never disappointing. Let me tell you about their best 2 donuts though, the blueberry cake and the strawberry cake donuts. Both of these are probably the softest, tastiest cake donuts you will ever eat in your life. There’s an argument to be made that one is better than the other, but I absolutely could not choose. And why choose when you can just buy a dozen of both of them? Seriously, if you are passing through Bowling Greene, do not miss this place. It is an absolutely must for the donut, cake, or sweet tooth...
