Love this place, very family friendly environment. They do an awesome job at making cakes and cupcakes and of course everything else. My daughter loves going here. Dont pass this place up!

The bakery is run by the sweetest lady who has been there since the 1940s. In the back kitchen I could see her happy family making cookies by hand.I asked for the best assortment of their baked goods to bring to my staff and she could not stop herself from adding addition cookies and donuts (for free) because she just really wanted me to try them. It was very obvious she loves her job and takes pride in her product.A large box full of baked goods ended up costing only $9. I tried to tip and she refused and said she just wanted me to come back. Trust me... I WILL BE COMING BACK!! The cookies and donuts were so soft and perfectly baked. Everyone loved them. They have won me over as a customer for life!

The only thing better than the delicious baked goods are the people taking care of you.

The prices are competitive, the cakes are the best around and the donuts are always fresh and delicious! Sandy has been the owner for several years and continues to be friendly and courteous. Sandy is simply the best. She is also very knowledgeable about cakes, frosting and recipes. I cant wait to get my daughters wedding cake.

Small local bakery with Chachky gifts. They have great coffee cakes although selection is limited and they go fast. Donuts, fudge, pies, various speciality items as well. I have never had anything less than delicious from here. Prices are pretty good to me. I try to support local establishments.

Good pastries. We had a custom cake made here and the work was excellent. The artwork was great and I do not know of any Eastside bakery that would do it. Thanks to the crew!!!

I got my wedding cake from here. It was amazing and everyone loved it. So many of our guests ask where it was from. They did a great job. Thank you so much for the cake.

The place is a icon in Indy. Always been here as far as I can remember. Family owned. Fresh daily.

Review №14

Went in on a Friday - tried their cherry donut - only made on Fridays (or so I was told). It was absolutely delicious. I asked for a variety as I had never been before, and the ladies working that day did not disappoint. Ill have to come back and try their cookies and other baked goods. Very reasonable price point and friendly staff.

On our wedding day they sent the wrong cake to reception. Then had the nerve only to credit us ten dollars. Plus was very rude about it.🤬🤬🤬.

I will only eat freshly frosted cakes. Ive gone to Hart Bakery for over 20 years and they frost a fresh one for me with a smile each time. Today I got there right at closing and Mrs. Sandys son iced me a fresh one. Thank you guys for always taking great care of me!!

Above average bakery. Friendly service, average prices and above average quality. Good combination. If you have a request for anything call ahead and they have always been good at making it happen. The only negative thing I can think of would be getting in and out of the parking lot.

The rating should be 5 star without a doubt. Dare I say the Alligator was better than Roselyn’s. Doughnuts were old school awesome yeast flavor. Go early! Had a fun novelty store feel. Will definitely return. Keep up the good work Hart Bakery!

Review №24

Hart Bakery is okay at best. I respect the establishment because its family owned, but they are a long way away from how good Longs Bakery is. I bought some apple fritters from Hart Bakery recently. It was all bread really. Theyre donuts and donut holes arent as soft and tasty as Longs. Maybe theyre catering to a specific palate (taste); I have no idea really.On the other hand, the staff are very nice people. Theyre always listening and looking to see how they can help. Its a very down home yet professional atmosphere. I noticed that the older lady in charge seemed to know people by name as they came in. Thats a sorely missed interaction in the business world. Kudos to them.If youre on that side of town and you want something sweet, its great. The donuts wont be what draw you in. The all around small business hospitality and being a community staple is what might bring you back.

The ladies working behind the counter are just as sweet as the treats!!!

Review №26

Well, with our new reality, I didn’t go to the bakery. A elder lives with me so I try to limit my interaction. A neighbor on Nextdoor posted a plea to support a local, long-standing, family restaurant. I asked a friend to pick up cream puffs and glazed donuts. My grandma liked the cream puffs; she likes that they weren’t overly sweet. I also liked the yeast donuts, not Long’s, but close. I pray this business, and other independent businesses survival the crisis.

This place is a hidden gem of my wife and I. We absolutely love it. Im a truck 🚚 driver who has traveled the entire U.S. and originally coming from N.Y. I know a good bakery when I see one!!!..not to toot my own horn(but toot toot!!!)- Amazing baked goods in a loving and Godly atmosphere! The (glazed) croissant 🍩 is one of my favorites. 😊- The ladies are super caring ❤ and always welcome you with loving, warm, open arms...always smiling from the time you open the door till your leaving, which helps me start my day right!- They carry beautiful unique gifts which are priced to sell and be enjoyed. My wife loves getting a gift each time we visit. The gifts...best described are like precious moments statues type of deal, but of much more variety. We have gotten earrings, a silver goblet, lockets, audio books, and a Bulova clock decoration which holds pictures. Really must visit my words do Hart Bakery no justice.- They open early morning which is great for me: Mon-Fri : 5:30am Sat : 6:00amAnd Sunday theyre closed with a sign posted stating they are closed Sunday so you and your family can go to Church...which I think is a beautiful thing that more businesses should do..Again I love ❤ this place and its a great little bakery that everyone should visit if in the Indianapolis area!

The “Crown Bread” at Hart’s Bakery is excellent! We have them at every special occasion and holiday within our family! They are the closest thing to my mother’s homemade rolls! There is just nothing better than Hart’s “Crown Bread”! Enjoy!!!

Harts has been an iconic bakery on the East side for more years than Ive lived in Indy. Cookies, candy, cakes and pies Yum!!!The thumbprint cookies are so good that they never last over night. Shoot, everything thing Ive ever had from Harts has been really good.

The staff that work there are three friendliest people, especially that really in the morning. They always have a smile and very appreciative of your business. AND, their donuts and apple fritters are the best in town. What more can you ask for.

Best donuts in town

Review №43

I came in from out of town. And was referred to this Great place. The business practices are not very great. When you have a customer in front of you ready to order, after waiting in line (Covid-19 lines), you then tell me to wait while you take a call. I patiently waited to be serviced. Then you come take my order and what I wanted is the same thing the over the phone customer ordered. You are a first come first served establishment. You tell me you cant fulfill my order because you promised it to someone else over the phone...Now my problem was the other customer was not in the store nor did they pay for anything yet. You operate first come, first served. But you refused to give me what was right in front of me. Because of a customer who might come. I was there first, I waited patiently, and I had money in hand. So you lose a sale and get a bad review for a some blueberry cake donuts!🤔You probably wont remember me because I didnt make scene. I just kindly moved to the side and let others order.But......CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EVERYTHING!BAD CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IS PRICELESS!

The ladies here are very friendly and knowledgeable of the pastries and desserts. My dad and I have been in there several times and every time, we are pleased with the customer service and the food. There also sell drinks and other cool stuff such as collectibles and fidget spinners I believe. Also there pastries are always fresh and always taste great. Will go back.

Review №62

This is a very affordable and professional bakery. I used them to bake my wedding cake and they made the whole process very comforting and reassuring. I chose red velvet, and white cake and I used a waterfall stand which was by the way beautiful. They decorated it to my liking and the deposit was affordable as well. They deliver the cake to the location and setup everything so after you choose and pay, they take care of the rest. Definitely highly recommended.

They honestly might be on par with Longs. Longs yeast are still better, I think, but not by much. Better than Tims though.

We are in here at least twice a week. This is where we get all of our birthday cakes. Its the only birthday cakes my daughter and husband will eat. Their donuts are the best!!

A great bakery with allot of variety, their baked goods are made fresh daily.. nothing is frozen & all handmade. My first visit was a really good experience. I told the the lady that it was my first visit & she welcomed me & made me a bag of things to try. The toffee cookies are to die for & they make their own toffee Yum!

Love this bakery!! I consider myself an experienced donut consumer (I eat a lot of donuts) and this is for sure on my top list of places - I LOVE that their Long Johns arent filled with anything (pro-tip: if you like a lot of icing, ask them to double ice it for you...messy but worth it) and they have THE BEST blueberry donut holes!! On top of that, they do cookies (their iced tea cookies are a special recipe) and cakes as well as other baked goods! They made my wedding cake and it was gorgeous - lots of compliments!

Harts has amazing donuts! I just had my wedding on Saturday and purchased my cake from Harts. They were easy to work with, very affordable and all the guest said the cake tasted wonderful. Unlike many other wedding cake makers, Harts makes their products fresh rather then pre-making the cake days in advance and freezing it. I would highly recommend them.
