Gibson's Donuts in Memphis is a straightforward, no-frills spot where the focus is all on fresh, soft, and thoughtfully crafted donuts. Located on Mt Moriah Rd, it draws a steady stream of locals and visitors who appreciate classic favorites alongside inventive flavors like maple bacon strawberry cheesecake and red velvet. The variety here spans traditional glazed and chocolate glazed to standout offerings such as apple fritters, blueberry cake, and even the popular bacon maple donut — each clearly made with attention to maintaining that perfect lightness and melt-in-your-mouth texture.

The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, typical of a busy neighborhood donut shop that feels like a daily stop rather than a special occasion treat. Staff tends to be friendly and efficient, often making people feel personally attended to even during a bustling morning rush. You might find families, regulars grabbing their usual dozen, and out-of-towners drawn by word of mouth, all mingling in a space that hums with the humbleness of a well-loved local spot.

This is a place best suited for early mornings or mid-morning runs when the donuts are at their freshest and the crowd is lively but manageable. It’s straightforward — no fancy seating or coffee culture trappings, just solid, reliably delicious donuts and quick service.

Visitors who appreciate traditional Southern donut shop vibes with a twist will enjoy Gibson’s. Whether you’re stopping by to grab a quick sweet fix on your way to work or making a deliberate drive to sample Memphis’s take on classic and creative donuts, Gibson’s delivers consistently soft dough and well-balanced flavors without fuss.

Highly recommend. Went in and the girl that helped us out, made us feel like we were the only one in the store, even tho there was a line. In front of us was a family from Oklahoma and behind us was a couple of guys from Georgia… their reputation is well known. The donuts are so soft, so fresh, and oh so delicious. We were so happy that we drove the extra hour to check them out!

These are the best doughnuts I've ever had. Their yeast donuts are so airy they melt in your mouth.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m not usually a donut person, but Gibson’s is the exception — their bacon donut is the only one I’ll eat! The dough is soft, the glaze is full of flavor, and the prices are super reasonable compared to other donut shops (and honestly, they don’t taste this good). Service is always quick and friendly — I’m in and out within a few minutes every time. Highly recommend!

Gibson’s Donuts truly lives up to the hype! They’ve got a wide variety of delicious donuts, from classic favorites to fun flavors—and every one I tried was fresh, fluffy, and full of flavor. What really made the experience special? I told them it was my first time visiting, and they generously gave me a free donut to try. That kind of warm, welcoming service is rare and really appreciated. On top of that, the prices are super affordable, making it an easy choice whether you’re grabbing one or a dozen. If you’re in Memphis and craving a sweet treat, Gibson’s is a must-stop.

Just checked out Gibson’s Donuts in Memphis and they did not disappoint. I had a blueberry and a glazed—both were fresh, soft, and full of flavor. The blueberry had the perfect sweetness, and the glazed just melts in your mouth. They’ve got a ton of options—red velvet, apple fritters, maple bacon, and more. Chill vibe and friendly staff. Definitely a must if you’re in Memphis.

I told the guy that it was my first time and he made it a wonderful experience I’ll remember for a lifetime and also gave me a free donut! Their donuts are fresh and have so many varieties. They’re always packed and I can’t wait to go back to Memphis and have more! Very inexpensive. $3 for 2 donuts!

Gibson Donuts is absolutely a must stop in Memphis. We went in the morning and the donuts were still warm, fresh out of the oven, and you could immediately tell why this place is such a local favorite. We tried the Cinnamon Toast and the Red Velvet donuts, and both completely lived up to the hype. My personal favorite was the Cinnamon Toast—it was perfectly fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness and that warm, nostalgic flavor that makes you want to order a second one on the spot. Truly the kind of donut you remember long after you’ve left. If you’re visiting Memphis, put Gibson Donuts at the top of your list. It’s worth every bite.
