    Theses famous doughnuts are a must try when you come to Kokomo. Half the population is willing to be up before sunrise to grab a dozen dirty dan's.

    Got a hot donut craving at 1am? This is the place, yo! Best bang for your buck! Apple fritters and I are best friends and these bad boys are MONSTER SIZE! The same size fritter in Nashville will easily cost me double with less apples. Glazed donuts are good and I can gulp them down like pieces of candy... they can occasionally run out before I get there.. arrive early and chow down. Look out: 1-2am - you got a line like it's Black Friday.

    I did not wait in line at 12:30 AM but rather walked in at 9:00 AM. Surprisingly, the selection was slimmer than I had anticipated, but then again, Dirty Dan's had been open for eight hours already. (How many people make donut runs in the middle of the night?!) Still, I liked how any flavor came in multiple varieties: yeast long john, round yeast, and cake. My boyfriend and I ordered three donuts--strawberry long john, apple fritter, and maple cake--and just by picking them up I could tell that we were in for a sweet, pillowy treat. ...I love it when I'm right. Each donut melted in your mouth, which is a telltale sign of a damn good anything. They weren't too bread-y, greasy, or dry as some donuts can be...just some exceptional classic donuts. Although I would order any of them again, you can't walk out of Dan's without an apple fritter. Not only is it the largest donut in the case, but also this ginormous glazed yeasty beast is packed with cinnamon and chunks of apple. It's a winner for sure. With just one experience Dirty Dan's has crept towards the top of my Best Donut List. Perhaps next time I'll pop in at 1:00 AM for a hot one.

    The best donuts ever. In the world. In the universe. Best EVER. They open at 1AM (?) and at that point, it's a teeny bopper party, but if you're up for it, this is the time to get the best tasting donuts. Or, you can call ahead and have an AM pick up scheduled for a more acceptable time. The best: maple cream, chocolate cream, tiger tale, glazed, jelly, ok all of them.

    Great food, it's Dan's nothing else needs said, best donuts ever. The donuts are good, employees nice, cheap prices, what else could you ask for? Even people I know that don't normally like donuts like this place.

    If you are craving a doughnut at 1am you better get to Dirty Dan's by 12:30 and get your place in line! Maybe even earlier if your craving falls on a weekend. If there is one thing I learned on my recent visit to Indiana, it's that Kokomo locals are very serious about Dan's bakery goods and will stand in long lines to get a hot pecan roll. Coming from Los Angeles, where there is a doughnut shop on every corner, I was seriously intrigued by this Dirty Dan's phenomenon. I had to experience it for myself, so I joined the line of hoosiers and waited for some fresh bake goods. Fortunately, I got my doughnut craving on a Thursday night so the line wasn't blocks long. In effort to give a fair review to all my fellow Yelpers, I ordered two dozen and sampled them until I could no longer stuff another bite in my mouth. The doughnuts are good! better than the average street corner doughnut shop I am accustomed too but pecan rolls (which I believe are only sold on Fridays and Sunday) are fabulous! Don't let the shop's nickname Dirty Dan's fool you.. It's an adorable little structure and the inside is the cleanest doughnut shop I have ever been too. The staff were nothing to write home about but all of the friendly local doughnut fans made up for it. This place is a must! You haven't been to Kokomo Indiana until you have stood in line for a Dan's doughnuts.

    My favorites are strawberry cream and the apple fritters. Good stuff!!! I think I am addicted now because I have to go back and get more donuts Friday morning every week.

    Thank you yelpers for helping me find this tiny little amazing place...I absolutely love every single doughnut they make, and apparently I need to try a hot pecan roll & apple fritter next time! P.S. The name "Dirty Dan's" put me off, but don't be scared. I am pretty sure it is a ploy by the locals to keep other people away from these delicious donuts!

    After 3 failed attempts of trying to eat here I finally got what I wanted. Let's just say I was not disappointed and won't be either. The only thing is to get here early. I say if you're in Kokomo and it's before 8am you have to go!

    Want a donut in Kokomo? The word is to go to Dan's Variety Bakery. The price is low and the quantity is high. In the dark hours of the night, I so enjoyed my hot and fresh glazed donut and their unique lemon -- both filled and iced -- donut. Also, I have eaten their yummy donut holes and cinnamon bun. Apple fritters looked scrumptious and generous with the apples but I'll have to try it next time. The crowd of all ages came about midnight before the doors opened at 1 AM. It was like Black Friday, but I heard this is typical. Wow! Cash or check is accepted.

    Last Saturday, a couple friends and I decided to drive 45 minutes to get donuts at Dan's. This decision became the best decision in a really long time. Dan's opens at 1 AM, so we left at 12:15. We waited in long line for about 20 minutes outside, and I definitely was not mad about it. The donuts were amazing. Definitely the best I've ever had. AND they're super cheap. You can get a dozen for $7. Just don't forget to bring cash (they don't take cards).

    This place is affectionately known as Dirty Dan's and while it may not be anything to look at inside, the food is gooood. My dad would always get a box every Sunday morning before church and we still get them now. They are good every single time, consistency for decades. The dough is soft and chewy, and the filling or frosting is flaky/juicy and flavorful. One of the better donuts I've ever tried. I personally like the jelly filled and cinnamon twists. You can get quite a few for a good price.
