“Amon’s Sugar Shack”
KET’s Local Traveler program featured Amon’s Sugar Shack in a story about this long-standing, family-run business in the Lake Cumberland area.
“The Amon’s name is baked into the landscape of Somerset”
Somerset’s Commonwealth Journal recognized Amon’s as “a name that’s as recognizable as Lake Cumberland itself.”
This Gas Station Cafe Is The Most Scrumptious Secret In Kentucky
Amon’s Sugar Shack in Somerset, Kentucky, is a beloved gas station cafe known for its delicious donuts and welcoming atmosphere.
How sweet it is: Amon’s Bakery celebrates 70 years
Founded originally as Dixie Lee Donut in 1950 by Abraham Lee before being sold and renamed Amon’s Bakery a year later, the confectionery and restaurant has long been known for its more than 70 varieties of donuts made by hand daily.
What customers are saying about Amon’s:
Great pastries - and more! This place has a long history of making great pastries. I tried an apple fritter that made my morning. The sandwich counter has much to offer as the pictures will show.

This is one of the best places to go in somerset for breakfast and lunch, excellent service, the staff is wonderful and kind, best homemade donuts in town. Great home cooked, made to order menu, highly recommended. Very reasonable priced.

A super cute little place to grab a quick bite to eat and a sweet treat afterwards.

...this business is so blessed to have the staff that it has… I do not know any of them personally but I have been going to Amons for 20+ years and some of these people have been there the whole time. They work so hard and provide the best service.

Love this little gem!!! Found by accident. On a road trip through Kentucky when we stopped for gas. A wonderful bakery and breakfast spot. You could tell it was a locals favorite.

The doughnuts, pastries, and cakes are great. However, they also have really good soup and sandwiches. I've never had anything that was bad! If you are expecting a fancy dinner establishment then you will probably be disappointed. If you are expecting a local establishment with really good food, then you will love it too.

Stopped in on way to Cumberland Falls to pick up doughnuts for breakfast. Burgers smelled so good we had to eat lunch there. Everything was so good we made sure to eat there again on way home. HIGHLY recommend it - it’s more than a breakfast place!

Stopped in before a customer visit and ordered a glazed blueberry and a cream filled with dark chocolate topping. Both donuts were outstanding! Washed them down with a medium roast coffee which was also very good.

My first time, but not my last I hope! my sister and I shared a cheese Danish. It was very good, and huge! My half was still larger than a usual cheese danish, in my experience! We also shared a dozen blueberry donut holes over the course of the day - they just melted in my mouth!

My daughter wanted a doughnut themed 7th birthday. I sent a photo in, and they turned out even cuter and yummier than I could have imagined!
