Linne's Bakery and Cafe

We drove 45 minutes to come to this store in Shelbyville to have Indiana’s best donuts. We came very late but we were not impressed with anything that we got. We also got soda fountain drinks and they were flavorless. We had to get drinks from the refrigerator. Mostly what I will take from this place was that the old lady there was super unfriendly and made us feel like our money was not wanted in here. I wouldn’t recommend.

Great lunch sandwiches on homemade bread and sides, broccoli salad was yummy. Pretty good sweets- brownies, cookies, cupcakes, and donuts. Been hitting this place for 20 years for the brownies! Red velvet cupcake was dry.

A+ The best donuts by far! The service is exactly what you want- friendly, efficient and helpful. They have been around for many years so they have lots of experience. The overall feeling when you walk in is HOME. I think that because they are family owned and have been in the same small town that they have a strong base of returning customers. They don't need to be any thing but exactly what and who they are. We will be back and can see making the trip ever so often!

Linne's is a Shelbyville staple. The new owners are keeping the tradition of excellence going strong.

Only first time. Cupcake tasted like what l make at home. Nothing special. Donuts are thin and selection was disappointing since we were there rather early. May give it another chance.

It's nothing like it use to be .. I used to spend at least 50 dollars a week in there but since it's changed hands the recipes don't flatter me as much and the brownies have done a 360 jus way to much frosting and sugar now.

I couldn't have any because I can't have gluten but took too a family gathering and brownies were a hit!

I love Linne’s! I grew up going there as a treat if I got out of school early/going late or in the summer. As an adult, I treat my once challenging bus route to an assortment of donuts a few times a year following good behavior. I did the same when I drove in another district and bought from the Sweet Shoppe in Greenfield. The kids are always ecstatic to see I bought them donuts from Linnes instead of Dunkin’! While I admit I haven’t had every donut, my favorite is the chocolate iced filled barn. It’s the perfect mix of a rich pastry, chocolate, and just the right sweetness of icing inside. The owner of Linnes is just the coolest. Very down to earth, extremely hard worker, honest, and I love that he carries his firearm with him. He exercises his right to keep him, his employees, his customers, and his business safe. It is refreshing to see conservative Christian business owners- but- they are welcoming and happy to serve EVERYONE! Parking can be a chore during the normal breakfast hours, but that might be better with the new parking garage. I am usually there around 6:30am and don’t have a problem parking the bus right there. Most recently, I ordered a half sheet cake for my casual BBQ wedding reception. It was comparable price to Sam’s club or elsewhere- plus our local Kroger isn’t even taking cake orders due to short staff. It was perfectly moist and a huge hit. Everyone was happy to indulge in a locally owned business’ product and brought back some memories for friends who had fancy wedding cakes done for their wedding decades ago from Linnes. It’s a cute place, good prices, excellent food, and wonderful people. Shop local and come in for your donuts or lunch!

Very disappointed. The size of my honeybun donut was half the size it use tobe. Not at all what I saw in the case. It was a disappointment.

Best cake, icing, & donuts on the planet! A great place to have lunch...different special every day!
