North Lime Coffee & Donuts

I have both celiac and a wheat allergy; I had an oral allergy reaction to the gluten free cake donut. It seemed like the kind of reaction I get when something is fried in a shared fryer. It’s a real shame because it was a fantastic donut.

I didn’t eat the GF donut as staff said they were fried in same equipment as normal donuts. Non-GF family members said they were delicious though.

GF donut was incredible! I've never even had a normal cake-type donut that good, let alone a gluten free one. The biggest problem I've seen with gf pastries is that they end up dry and crumbly. My donut was super moist! Also, they have a dedicated fryer for their gf donuts and they put the glaze/toppings on them first so there's no cross-contamination from the regular donuts. So glad I stopped by!

Friday-Sunday they offer a gluten free donut, flavor varies by week (check their website for weekly flavor)

Hands down the best gf donuts I have had in the last 15 years. Soft and moist, a great balance between a traditional donut and cake-like. Not to knock a good cake like donut, but these were chewy, fantastic texture, without the crumbling cake like experience.

Staff was very helpful, changed gloves, did everything to avoid cc.

Wish I lived closer, but also glad don't, having easy access to this place could be dangerous for my waistline

Gluten free donuts only offered on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays right now due to gf flour shortages. We were not able to try them this trip.

Amazing gf donuts, not cakey or dry. So delicious, and dedicated shelf and frying space. Amazing!!

I was pleasantly surprised to see gluten free donuts on the menu! They were great and had several options!

North Lime has the best gluten free donuts in Louisville! GF only available on Tuesday and Thursday’s and make sure you go early, as they sometimes run out. My husband and I have had the glazed, chocolate glazed, plain, caramel coffee, banana foster, etc. The texture is spot on to a “real” donut. So delicious. Great coffee as well!
