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.
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.
This little shop isn't fancy, but it has what you're looking for - a huge case filled with all kinds of donuts. From powdered sugar, to glazed, to chocolate frosted, you're certain to find several donuts that you just can't live without.
This bakery is a neighborhood icon. If you grew up anywhere in the area, you remember standing in this little shop as a child, trying to decide which donut you wanted while your mom or dad waited patiently (or not so patiently).
Hopefully Olsen's keeps their traditional methods alive for even more decades to come! Stop by and pick up a donut (or a dozen). The shop is open Monday through Friday from 7:15 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Saturday 7:15 a.m. to 1 p.m.; closed on Sundays.
