Batesville, IN — After counting over 28,000 votes, Visit Indiana, the state’s tourism office, has narrowed down the list to find Indiana’s best donut shops. The top donut shop broke the all-time record for votes in Best of Indiana history. Top honors went to Rise’n Roll in Middlebury.
Locally, a regional favorite made the list in the number 9 spot, Schmidt Bakery. Schmidt Bakery opened in 1963, initially selling both pizza and donuts. No longer selling pizza, its donuts still steal the show. During select happy hour days, its delicious donuts are only 50 cents. Schmidt Bakery also whips up Cherry Thing-a-Lings once a year in February as a treat to its guests, and Cranberry Thing-a-Lings this time of year.
