I wanted to like it so bad.After all the raving reviews and adorable pictures, I decided to go into town to give it a shot.The location was beautiful, and the decor and pastries were incredible to see, but the food fell flat for me. Unfortunately this is another Nashville tourist spot that was overhyped and overpriced for my taste, but I may try again with something different in the future.I bought a donut assortment and was left rather disappointed at the taste after seeing their beauty and cost, but, as always, to each their own ?

Cute place, gorgeous donuts. The maple donut was good but a bit overly sweet. It’s dusted in sugar, has a thick layer of maple frosting and there’s some sort of sweet cream filling. It was unexpected but a good snack for 2 people. The purist donut was my favorite. Vanilla cream was my fiancés favorite.

This is my favorite donut shop!!!I just love their cronut (hundred layered donut) and their mini donut collection!!!You get a wide variety of flavors.. and we simply love almost everything we have tried until day.Vanilla cream - hundred layers is our go to item each time ?

The donuts are always fresh. I have never been disappointed. A great spot for a breakfast date or a group of people to start their day. Huge variety of truly gourmet donuts. There is also really great coffee they worm hard to give you plenty of options. The patio is really nice and its a pleasant walk though 12 South after.

Five daughters isn’t just the hype, it’s WORTH the hype! I have heard five daughters for so so so long that I was wary it would live up to my expectations. And my oh my it did!First off, the service is super quick. We got in and ordered our 100-layered donuts! Yes the layers are what five daughters is all about. We sat outdoors in the sun and savored every bit of the delicious, creamy donut. I was so so so in love with the taste and delicious fresh layers that I ordered one more of the blueberry lemon donut.The cream is sinfully light and the layers are deliciously beautiful! I can go on but I highly recommend trying Five daughters in Nashville! They have daily specials and different flavors! Check it out!

I was apprehensive coming into this situation. I’ve had several poor experiences with “cronuts” or layered donuts, but I just keep telling myself, “Keep trying! One day you’ll find a flaky donut master!”Thank God I kept trying.The 100 Layer donuts at Five Daughters are daringly delectable. I played it safe with a Chocolate Sea Salt and Vanilla Cream (really trying to get a good, simple cronut. Did I already mention I was apprehensive?) and was pleasantly surprised. I’ve never been more impressed with these two seemingly simple flavors.The chocolate icing is perfectly balanced, with the sea salt adding a strong, complex flavor. The vanilla cream is wonderfully light in both texture and flavor, totally disappearing on your tongue within seconds.The donut itself is light, flaky, and not overly sweet, greasy, or dry. I’ve come to understand that while lots of places may claim to have great layered donuts, most of them fall short, or miss the mark completely. Five Daughters however, nails the 100 layer donut from every angle.Absolutely worth your stop!

Absolutely loved this cute little spot!! They are known for the 100 layer donut - a donut made from croissant dough with assorted fillings. The blueberry lemon (pictured) was absolutely incredible, as well as the Vietnamese coffee (both highly recommended by staff). We loved it so much we came back for to-go donuts. Beware, those best sellers sell out fast! The outside patio is quaint. Loved!

Delicious donuts and a great environment and people

I very seldom give 5 stars unless the place is perfect on food, ambiance, service and price. But in the case of 5 daughters donuts I’m making the exception as they are that good. If you like bacon you must try the King Kong…delicious!!! These donuts have an amazing texture and flavors that explode when you bite into them.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy donuts and that's basically the same thing!I tried to keep my hype low due to the insane raving I heard about FDB... The hype is warranted!Donuts were great, loved the cute playground, plenty of seating. Definitely worth a stop, even a quick one. Don't worry about the line. It moves quickly
