Got there for 6am on a Saturday and there were a few people already waiting, but the line goes quick. The doughnuts were very good and very cheap ($4.20 for a half dozen)! Everything I tried was really good, the yeast doughnuts were super light and fluffy, I will definitely be going back when my doughnut cravings hit again. I wish they put more filling in the Boston cream and labeled the doughnut types in the display, but those are very minor complaints. Highly recommended!

I had a great donut at a really low price, but I couldn't believe how busy they were right when they opened. I got there at 6am and my jaw literally dropped when I saw the line that was already there. I didn't need to spend too long there though. The trip was worth it

🍩 Overview & Ambience Gerry’s is a classic, cash-only donut shop that’s earned a loyal following since opening in the 1980s  . The vibe is nostalgic and no-frills—a bustling, friendly place where locals line up early for fresh baked goods. Don’t expect frills like fancy coffee drinks or credit card payments—just great donuts and quick service (). ⸻ Freshness & Flavor • Made fresh daily: Their donuts and muffins are baked on-site every morning and are gone fast—when they sell out, they’re done for the day . • Classic taste: The dense, moist texture of their donuts stands out compared to mass‑produced chains . One reviewer said they “remind me of days when donuts were made on site, and you can taste the difference” . • Variety: Expect staples like glazed, chocolate, Boston cream,

Been coming here for years! My family gets Gerry’s for every birthday and special occasion… my husband and I even had a stack of several dozen assorted Gerry’s donuts for our wedding “cake” in 2017! Yes, you have to get here early if you want donuts… it seems weird to leave a bad review though just because something is SO GOOD and in such high demand that they can’t make enough to satisfy everyone… I’ve definitely come in and got nothing or just a few random donuts left at times, but that’s my own fault for not getting there earlier! Great donuts at a fraction of the price of their donut chain competitor and WORLD better than that competitor… as evidenced by the fact that Gerry’s is still here, despite that miserable company trying to “dunk” on their business by opening one right next doo

Definitely the kind of small town donut shop that everyone wishes they had access to--and you do, right here in town! People are happy, excited to see you, there are regulars who are met in person, one who had a fresh cup of copy waiting for him as he sat down. I came in on Valentine's Day, there was a Valentine's card with me order. The donuts are clearly fresh, taste great and sell out very quickly, and when I walked in there were only two people ahead of me but when I left the line was out the door, so come early and come hungry, the prices are great too!
