When you're looking for a sweet treat, you can't go wrong with a donut. There's a little donut bakery in Omaha that's been in business for decades, and it still has its old-fashioned ways. Whether you prefer a raised glazed donut, a chocolate cake donut, or a fruit-filled kolach, you'll want to pay a visit to Olsen's Bake Shop.

Olsen Bake Shop has been serving up the most delicious donuts in the state since 1942. You'll find this little gem at 1708 S. 10th St., Omaha, NE 68108.

The bakery is family owned and operated by the Olsens, and they still make their donuts the old-fashioned way.

From the moment you step in the door, the pleasing aroma of donuts will greet you. These donuts are still made in small batches, the old-fashioned way. You'll want to arrive early for the best selection, since they often sell out by mid-day.
