Five Daughters Bakery

Nashville


The famous 100-layer doughnut (it's actually 144, but who's counting?) is a sight to behold. Part doughnut, part croissant, this $4.50 beauty is rolled in sugar and glazed. Too bad its beauty evaporates in a few delightful bites. The King Kong topped with bacon is especially nice, too. The shop's doors, just off 12th Ave S, close once the doughnuts are gone.

The original location is inside the Factory in Franklin, with a third spot based in East Nashville.
