Before donuts were domesticated, people searching for a sweet breakfast had to make due with cups of maple syrup, candied bran flakes, and bagels dressed like birthday cakes. Reap the benefits of tamed treats with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of donuts, coffee, and more at Hoosier Bakery. Today's Groupon may be redeemed at Hoosier Donuts' Tower Plaza location.

When not busy supplying wholesale sweet treats to more than 70 stop 'n' go locales, Hoosier Bakery invites customers to buy directly from the scrumptious source at its newly opened retail location. Hoosier Bakery's dough-punchers commence their pastry crafting in the wee hours, filling early-morning dreams with the delicious aroma of maple-nut rolls, apple fritters, and cinnamon-sugar twists. Bite into one of 3,000 made-fresh creations, from custard-filled danishes and glazed blueberry cakes to classic creations such as chocolate-glazed rings and Hoosier bites, the bakery's version of donut holes. Surprise officemates with glazed originals ($0.79 each; $5.49 per dozen) or fritters ($0.99 each; $8.49 per dozen), bolstering morning moods or settling long-simmering arguments over the rules of paper football. A 50-count box of Hoosier bites ($4.49 for glazed; $6.49 for specialty) occupies bored hands, with mouthful-sized servings designed for dunking in drip coffee ($.99), floating in frappuccinos ($2.49), or sacrificing to caffeine gods in cappuccino-filled scale-model volcanoes ($1.29).
