If you ask people for the best donuts in Memphis, there are always few places mentioned. But Gibson's Donuts in East Memphis is always the clear winner. There were a ton of options - cinnamon rolls, donut holes, cake donuts, yeast donuts, donuts with all kinds of toppings. Gibson's clearly loves the University of Memphis.
