Here in Nashville, if you're looking for a family donut shop you'll want to head down to Fox's Donut Den. Located in the ever-bustling Green Hills area, this old-fashioned donut shop has been slinging freshly baked pastries since 1973.
You can choose from a variety of classic donuts, both cake and yeast-based, as well as a large selection of freshly baked pastries and bagels. If you're looking for the whole experience, make sure you pair your sugary sweet breakfast with a steaming cup of coffee.
The space is small and sparsely decorated, instead allowing the delicious smell of freshly fried donuts to take precedence. Stepping into Fox's Donut Den is like stepping back in time, to a place where the world was simpler and donuts existed as prime breakfast fare.
A great spot for families and groups of friends, Fox's donuts have graced the tables of birthday parties and soccer games alike. Great flavor coupled with low prices make it easy to stop by every day of the week.
Fox's Donut Den has been honored as one of the top donut shops in Nashville by The Tennessean which has only further endeared the out-of-the-way eatery in the hearts of locals. It's a great spot for tourists to visit as well, though it is located off the beaten path.
The frosted cake donuts are some of the most popular treats to order, but there's also a secret "Texas Donut" on the menu. You have to call ahead to have one made, but it's a 14 or 18-inch donut made up special for your event.
Visit Fox's Donut Den for yourself at 3900 Hillsboro Pike in Nashville, Tennessee. You can visit from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 5 a.m. to midnight on Fridays, from 6 a.m. to midnight on Saturdays and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays. Happy indulging!
