The Tennessee Amish Country Bakery With Donuts As Big As Your Head

Tennessee has both some amazing history and some amazing food, but one of the more unique intersections of those two true Tennessee heritages can be found in the small town of Belvidere where the Swiss Pantry, a Mennonite bakery, serves up some of the best baked goods you’ll find anywhere. They bake all kinds of fresh breads daily, but if you want a real treat, you need to show up on a day when they are serving their famous, absolutely massive donuts. You need to see for yourself just how big these things are.

The Swiss Pantry in Belvidere sits right in the heart of an area of Tennessee known for its rich heritage, and while many folks assume it's an Amish bakery, both the bakery and the region have closer ties to the Mennonite community.

While the Swiss Bakery draws in folks from near and far for a variety of different reasons, their donuts are one of the things that makes them genuinely famous in Tennessee. Just look at these things!

The craziest part about their famous donuts is that they're actually only available on two days out of the month. The Swiss Bakery's famous Donut Saturdays, the first and third Saturdays of the month, are the only days in which the bakery sells these massive, delicious treats. And you can be assured that they sell out fast.

But if you miss the donuts or would like to go at another time, the Swiss Pantry has plenty of other amazing baked goods and pantry items. In fact, they're also pretty well known for their amazing sandwiches that they serve every day for lunch.

But who wants sandwiches when a donut like this is in front of you?!? Don't these things just look incredible?

The Swiss Pantry is open every day except for Sunday, but if you don't want to travel all the way to Belvidere, they also sell some items online (sadly, not their donuts). We'll see you there next Donut Saturday! Address: 10026 David Crockett Highway, Belvidere, TN 37306
