What can I say? As you walk through the door the smell is glorious. Hart has many great things to offer. Friendly staff who appreciate their customers both new and old. This was my first time at the bakery. My office is just up the street. It was a co-workers birthday so we wanted to buy a cake. Not only did we find a small delicious chocolate cake but we got sample key lime flavored covered pretzels and purchased a couple donuts. The cake was great. Icing was just enough and not over the top. Donuts on par if not better than Longs (a long time Indy favorite). It is also very budget friendly: We came back for national donut day the same week. I think we have found our new bakery. Please visit. This place is worth it! Also, they have fudge, cookies, pastries, etc

It's hard to be a donut shop in Indianapolis when you have some major competition (I will refrain from mentioning competitors). My workplace on the Eastside always brings in donuts from Hart. I'd say after trying them several times, Hart gives you a variety of standard yeast donuts (glazed, frosted, filled), and it's pretty good stuff. Is it the best in Indy? No. Is it the best on the Eastside? Yes.

The donuts here are great. I can't speak to much else that they have (still haven't tried any of their cakes or desserts, and don't have any need of their collectibles) but they definitely have some good donuts. I've been going through a donut phase the past few months. I've made the rounds around Indy and tried Long's, Jack's, General American, and Square so far (send me messages if you have other good donut shops that I should visit). Hart's is tied for the best yeast donut that I've found in Indianapolis (tied with Long's) and makes the best cinnamon sugar donut hands down (and they're really cheap). The staff is always very chipper and upbeat even at 6:00 in the morning. It's worth noting that they're not open on Sundays (weekends are when I'm most likely to hunt for donuts which is a little inconvenient). Next time you're craving donuts give Hart's a shot instead of one of the bigger players. You won't regret it.

Hart Bakery has been around for a long time but I've only been there a handful of times in the last year. I've had their donuts and cookies previously. I saw they had a groupon and got one to try a cake for Mothers Day. I couldn't decide what kind to get and the staff were friendly and helpful. I decided on a half chocolate, half white with their most popular white icing. The cake was amazing, especially the white. The staff and baked goods have always been wonderful every time I've been there.

Have you ever gone into a business and instantly thought to yourself "I like this place?" That's what happened to me with Hart Bakery & Gifts, a small bakery and gift shop right next to the corner of 10th & Shadeland on Indy's Eastside. While I'm hesitant to use the phrase "hole-in-the-wall," Hart Bakery has always struck me as a little hole-in-the-wall establishment with an exterior that is plain, simple, and I wouldn't even call it particularly inviting. I've driven by Hart countless times and, during most of those times, I've found myself mumbling the words "I should stop there." For the most part, it has been during hours that they were either closed or I was in a rush. Today, as I was driving I spotted the familiar Hart's Bakery building and thought to myself "Why not?" I'd just had a late lunch and I was in the mood for a doughnut. While this would usually send me up to 38th & Shadeland to hit Dunkin' Donuts, today I finally dragged my butt into Hart Bakery & Gifts. A little research has taught me that Hart Bakery & Gifts is the third oldest Indianapolis bakery and is family owned and operated. Started shortly after World War II, the current owner (Sandy) is the only female certified Master Baker in the State of Indiana and she's joined in running the establishment by multiple family members. The parking lot is small, but has several well-defined spaces (not necessarily what I would consider "accessible" but they do have a curb cut into the building and the way the lot is situated makes it fairly simple for someone in a wheelchair to find easy parking). As I headed into the door, I was greeted at the door by a helpful and sincere young woman who was working the counter. To call this young woman enthusiastic would be an understatement, but it struck me as genuine and it was quite contagious. The owner was also at the counter and, it appeared, was engaged in handling some other business. Despite the somewhat distracting nature of this side business, the employee working with me didn't miss a bit - she asked me if this was my first time visiting the store, and upon finding out it was proceeded to explain their specialties (decorated cakes, doughnuts, fudge, iced cookies) and offer me a couple samples. She explained that they used no preservatives or chemicals in their baking, but then also made sure I understood that their "gifts," which are essentially a WIDE variety of figurines ranging from Hummel to Jim Shore to Precious Moments to Steiff Bears and others, are not made in house. Given the birth of gourmet doughnut shops in Indianapolis, it was refreshing to see a rather simple doughnut shop with a wide variety of doughnuts and reasonable prices. I ended up buying three yeast doughnuts at a price of $2.10 - more than Wal-Mart (but FAR better) and actually a good $.29 less per doughnut than a Krispy Kreme will run you at most any convenience store. I've been trying to decide what a Hart doughnut reminds me of - it's nothing like a Krispy Kreme (definitely superior) and probably most reminiscent of the old Roselyn doughnuts. I definitely enjoyed them and, I must confess, they didn't make it all the way home. I tried one of their sugar cookies, absolutely delicious, but declined trying the fudge. As I love fudge, it's something I'll consider in the future. The gift area of Hart is definitely not as wheelchair friendly and, as one might expect, you'd want to be careful if in a wheelchair considering you're mostly dealing with breakables. In terms of ambience, Hart Bakery & Gifts reminded me a lot of the not too far away Heidelberg Haus. Both places tend to be hidden gems that look plain but house tasty and delightful treats while offering excellent customer service. The young woman who provided excellent service throughout also made sure I left with a business card and, in turn, this card led me to their really nicely done website at hartbakery.com - It'll give you an even better idea of what they offer. For those wanting to support a local business and, as well, Indiana's only female certified Master Baker, Hart Bakery seems an obvious and rewarding choice. Don't let the plain exterior fool you - inside, Hart Bakery & Gifts is serving up warm, enthusiastic, and inviting service along with a wide array of tasty and reasonably priced baked goods!

Do you remember as a kid (or as an adult who never really grew up like myself) walking into a bakery or ice cream shop and experiencing that awesome smell that hits you in the face as soon as you walk through the door? The tangible aroma, almost able to be grabbed out of the air and wrapped around your body like a suit made of pure awesomeness? The feeling that all your hopes and dreams lie just ahead, dressed in sprinkles, fondant, glaze and/or frosting? No? Then go somewhere else that better suits you, like waiting in line at the post office or filing your taxes at home, being sure to NOT use the E-Z form. For those of us that do get warm fuzzies from a good sugar buzz, then you're in for a treat at Hart's Bakery! It can be a little overwhelming as you walk in because it's like your grandmother's house exploded in a grand fireball of kitsch and novelty figurines, but if you just close your eyes and follow your nose, you'll be able to look past all that and get some tastiness. Or perhaps it will make your shopping experience even better and you shop for figurines! To each their own! I came here only looking for a birthday cake so I can't review much else, but everything looked fresh and delicious. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door (as was another customer that walked in shortly after me) and the girl helping me was very friendly. I actually called in a couple hours before I showed up to pick up my cake as it was just a random, last minute kind of idea. They were happy to write the usual "happy birthday" stuff on the cake and I didn't feel like I was a huge inconvenience for my lack of foresight. Let me say, if this was an "off the rack" kind of cake, the kind of "usual" quality that goes into their daily kind of baked goods, I can only imagine what a special order could be like! Amazing. I paid $21.95 for my quarter sheet of cake and away I went! Upon arriving at home and restraining myself just long enough to walk inside and get a plate and fork so that I can still call myself human enough to do so, I tore into my slice. I've never had a cake that still TASTED the way a bakery smells. Usually as time passes it somehow airs out and doesn't have that same smell. This, however did, and it just made it all the more delightful. Even in the days that followed, what remained did end up airing out a little, but the taste was still above and beyond a normal run of the mill cake. I can promise you, every single cake that I get from now on will be from this place. Deliciousness abounds!

Hart's is a long time East side establishment serving up donuts, cookies, cakes, and pastries. They also have a side of the store dedicated to some gift shop items. If you are in the area and looking for something as an alternative to the grocery bakeries, it's worth a stop. I really like some of the little tea cookies they have. The smaller ones are sold by the pound. They are relatively inexpensive on the donuts and pastries. A little on the high side for cakes. They staff is friendly. I was a little put off when I asked if their long johns were maple. I was told they are caramel, but if customers order a maple, that's what they give them. Well, I like maple, and I can tell you, there is a difference between caramel and maple! If I order a maple, I prefer to be advised that it is not maple because I'm going to be disappointed when I finally stuff it in my mouth. They have a sign in the window that states they are closed on Sundays so that your and our families can attend the church of our choice, so if you're going, it's Monday-Saturday.

Loved the PB fudge I got at the Halloween Festival and went back multiple times for the donut holes to get me through the day. Thanks, loved it!!!

Hart Bakery is close to us and locally owned, so we're all for it. We've visited many times and are pretty into the donuts and breakfast pastries. We love the yeast donuts, cinnamon twists, donut holes, and cherry turnovers. The only things we haven't liked were apple-based pastries (seems like there's a lot of apple goo and not very much apple). Unbelievably cheap, such friendly people working, and they have a lot more to offer beyond breakfast. I'm sure at some point we'll get a cake or something else. I'm happy that they're in the neighborhood!

It's like if your grandma's house sold pastries and doughnuts! Oh my goodness! I had no idea this was here until I went to pick up my rental car and headed to the Kroger from that direction. Excited to find an old-fashioned local bakery so close to my house. They sell ALL kinds of little nick-nacks and tchotchkas (sp?) like Precious Moments and other gift items...it's kinda overwhelming. The main draw for me is the sweets. There are various kinds of doughnuts, and mine was very good. They also make and sell adorable turtle candies, which are actually in the shape of a turtle with pecans for feet! So adorable (and delectable). Additional treats include various cookies, pies, pastries, and even wedding cakes. This is the only place in Indianapolis I've seen nanaimo bars (update 12/12-no longer have nanaimo bars). The counter girls were friendly and so was the baker/owner(?) when he came out to put something in the display case.

This is a nice little place on the eastside to stop when your sweet tooth is itching. They have a small but tasty selection of fresh baked goods. I recommend the eclairs. You can get them with real custard! (You can also get them with the fake fluffy filling, if that is your fancy.) In addition to the baked goods, the place is packed with little knick knacks. It is a somewhat strange combination, and I'm always a little afraid that I'm going to knock into a table and break hundreds of dollars of ceramic goods that I would never purchase otherwise. But so far it hasn't happened. A couple of years ago I stopped by to get a cake in the morning, not knowing that you need to order those in advance. They were nice about finding a way to come up with a cake for me despite my ignorance. The staff have always been very friendly.

This place has great baked goods, candy and (not as important to me) a HUGE collection of Precious Moments figurines. I'm just here for the donuts, ma'am. And what donuts they are! Light and delicious. But you have to get there early enough to get the beset selection every day.
