This cute little cafe has DELICIOUS and unique donuts. I enjoyed my cream cold brew and whiskey business donut (although I wish it had more whiskey flavor). The dough is like a soft croissant donut and it’s amazing. Wish I had gotten more than one. Glad this place exists to offer people something better than ordinary donuts!

By far the best donuts I have even had. Some of my favorites have been Creme brulee, old fashioned, chocolate and sap tapper.

Great environment! Great selection of donuts and coffees! Plenty of room to sit in the front or the back of store. 3 donuts and 16oz coffee was 12.46.

Delicious croissant style donut and good coffee—tried the chocolate but they had a lot of interesting flavors (berry, orange, snickerdoodle). Get there early bc some were already sold out!

We met Gramps! What a great place! They even have a Donut called “Whiskey Business”...dipped in homemade glaze made with the newly released Green River Rye Whiskey! Gotta check out Gramps Coffee and Donuts!

I grew up in Owensboro, and moved away about 10 years ago. Any time I’m back in town, I pass Gramps and always say i want to try it out. Finally got the chance to today, and it is SO good. The ladies working the counter were friendly, and interacted with myself, and my two boys. We got 6 diff donuts, and loved them all. Also got 2 hot coffees, which I really enjoyed too. It’s a cute little place! I’ll def be back

By far the best donuts in town. I know many of the locals claim other places as better donuts, but I've lived in Owensboro for 22 years and Gramps is 100% the best. In addition to delectable donuts that rotate in variety, they actually have good coffee to go with it, and comfortable seating. A must stop for anyone visiting Owensboro or just downtown. I will return many many times. Love this place!

Came here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It was cold and raining thunderstorms outside so we came in for a coffee and donuts to let the storm pass. The donuts are amazing, buttery, flaky, crispy, fluffy, and very enjoyable! I had a chocolate and my girl had the snickerdoodle. As for the coffee, I tried one of their specialty coffees, white coconut mocha. She has an iced honey pecan. We both enjoyed our food and drinks. The only thing I could suggest to make this place feel better, but not taking a star from, would be to have actual mugs/cups for those who dine in. It would give it a much more personal cafe feel to it. Looking forward to coming back
