Coffee shop
Buckeye Donuts is a beloved 24-hour establishment located near Ohio State University, serving up breakfast fare, Greek gyros, and an impressive selection of 32 types of donuts. Since its opening in 1969, this old-school institution has been a favorite among students, alumni, and locals. The shop's round-the-clock operation ensures that patrons can always grab a quick bite or a hot cup of coffee.
Grabbed a couple of donuts before the OSU game while walking around campus. A nostalgic place that has been on campus for as long as I can remember. There was a line to get in but they moved everyone through the line quickly. Grabbed a creme stick, and a pumpkin spice donut and both were very tasty.

Picked this shop as it was recommended as the best apple fritter in Columbus. So as an apple fritter lover I had high hopes. For me this is not a great apple fritter. I look for a nice crispy outside, soft chewy inside with the obvious chunks of apples. This one had the crispy outside but the inside felt a little dry and lacked any apple chucks. Had they had apple chunks inside It probably would have helped with multitude and been perfect. But as it was it felt like it was at least a half day old and not that great. The blueberry donut had a good flavor but again felt maybe older than desireable. I understand they are 24hrs but some things tasted to have certainly been on the shelf just as many hours. I know the blueberry donuts usually aren’t as airy as a plain glazed and more cake like but this one was dense and slightly dry. As for the service, that was 5 star. The cashier was helpful, and patient while I decided what I wanted and got request from others over the phone. I will say while I was already getting the Apple fritter he recommend that and the blueberry which both missed the mark. Maybe they are/were slow sellers and that was his way of pushing them but they were not what he claimed they would be. “Top favorites” Over all decent service but low grade donuts and unfortunate I can’t eat the service. Late night cravings this place would be perfect. For fresh quality donuts with good filling in the morning probably not the best choice.
Matthew — Google review
Yep, this place is good. Full selection of doubts, and other food mind you, but come for the donuts. Right off campus of OSU, so it’s a perfect location. Open 24/7 for all your snacking needs. They usually have a deal by x many and get one free, worth the extra to take home, or make new friends.

Buckeye Donuts: The Real Deal As a self-proclaimed donut snob, I can confidently say Buckeye Donuts is worth every single calorie. Their blueberry donut? Arguably the best I've ever had. The glaze donut has this incredible, subtle vanilla note, and the donut itself is perfectly fluffy and not too sweet. Believe the hype – it's that good.

Fantastic donuts near OSU campus. Been in the family a long time. Prepare to wait and it’s very crowded in this small shop. Be patient, it’s worth it!

Destination Donuts, located in Columbus, Ohio, is a unique donut shop known for its imaginative and creative selection of donuts. Heather Morris, also known as The Donut Queen, is the mastermind behind this business and ensures that high-quality ingredients are used in their products. The shop started small with pop-ups and wholesaling to local coffee shops but has now settled into its own storefront in Clintonville.
This place is open at 7 am and closes at 3 pm unless they sell out. My guys at worked like vanilla glazed doughnut. They are rather large is size not as light and airy like a Krispy Kreme also not overly sweet as well.
Jeremiah R — Google review
Each donut is a happy burst of flavors. The fact that they have vegan options makes my kid happy and coming back for more. Always a happy welcoming vibe at DD!

These are the best donuts I've ever had. I go out of my way to stop since I live in Cincinnati. Truly, I didn't know they were a vegan bakery. Doesn't matter. I brought home one of each kind available on Sunday June 8 and my husband and I are enjoying each one. The raspberry almond is a particular favorite along with the samosa (I hope that's correct). I didn't get all the names, doesn't matter - all wonderful! We love that there's a bite to them, the texture is the best part. Keep up the good work!
Valerie L — Google review
Search delicious donuts the flavors are complex even to my untrained pallet. I would have to refer to them really as pastries or works of art because oh boy how tasty! If you have not tried this wonderful destination of donuts then you are missing out on the better things in life.

This place makes the best vegan donuts. It's really worth the drive for some good donuts. Always very polite & friendly. They always do a great job of rotating their donuts. You have to make the trip to this business.
Damon R — Google review
Roughly 10 donut flavors to choose from. All are the same donut foundation, with the flavors coming from the topping/glaze. They have the texture of a fluffy donut, but the density of a cake donut, which makes it unique and filling. You can see the whole bakery, and it looks very clean and orderly.
Josiah L — Google review
A local donut shop like no other! They offer a different assortment of insane flavor concoctions of donuts everyday, with vegan options as well! I haven't found a donut yet that they have made that isn't just simply delicious!! But don't expect boring pedestrian donut offerings, they have donuts that are not just beautiful to look at but brilliant combinations. Lemon raspberry, hibiscus, s'mores donut with homemade marshmallow! Oh my!!!
Joseph C — Google review
The donuts here are so good. I'm partial to the dueling vanilla but I haven't had a bad one of any flavor. And they're vegan which is so awesome.

Bakery
Schneider's Bakery is a long-standing family-owned bakeshop in Westerville, known for its handcrafted donuts, cookies, pies, custom cakes, and breads. With over 63 years in business and traditional German recipes, the bakery has garnered strong customer loyalty. Recently under new ownership by Westerville native Shaun Stonerook and managed by Elaine Clarke, Schneider's Bakery gears up for the holiday season with their popular holiday cookies.
If you are ever craving a little sweet, this is the spot. This is our favorite spontaneous weekday stop for some of the best donuts and pastries in Columbus. My personal favorite is the Davy Crockett. My wife loves the cream horns. All of our donuts were completely fresh. $13 for a half dozen so won’t break the bank. Very friendly staff.
Noah Y — Google review
This was a lovely and classic bakery at Westerville downtown. There was no seat inside. There were a few items such as donuts, bread, candies, and birthday cakes. Most of them looked too sweet with too much sugar. My server was nice. She recommended the blueberry donut because it was less sweet. Surely, the donut tasted decent as my sweet treat.
Vincent L — Google review
Love this place! Asked for a half sheet cake for my son’s baptism and they had it done earlier than planned, it looked and tasted so good! It did have a small crack in it which I didn’t see until day of and I didn’t care enough to get it fixed, but I’m 100% sure if I had asked for them to ice it over they would have had no problem.
Elizabeth S — Google review
Came in on a whim as we were traveling. The young man working there (8/16/2025) we absolutely so friendly and helpful! And the pecan loaf he sliced for us was absolutely delicious! If we are ever back in the area again we will be back for sure!

The Sweet Heart of Westerville: A Review of Schneider's Bakery If you're looking for a donut shop with a big-chain feel and a sterile environment, keep driving. But if you want to experience the true, delicious heart of a local community, then Schneider's Bakery in Westerville is your final destination. For decades, this family-owned establishment has been more than just a place to get baked goods; it’s a living part of the town’s history, and a destination for anyone who knows what a really good donut tastes like. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place is special. The air is thick with the sweet aroma of fresh dough and sugary glaze, and the classic glass display cases are filled with a rainbow of handcrafted creations. Unlike mass-produced donuts that are all texture and no flavor, every donut at Schneider's is a testament to the time-honored craft of baking. The glazed donuts are a particular triumph—a simple classic elevated to perfection. The dough is impossibly light and fluffy, and the glaze melts in your mouth with a sweetness that feels just right, never overpowering. But the real magic of Schneider's lies in its commitment to tradition and quality. This isn't just another business; it's a legacy. The current owners, who are deeply rooted in the Westerville community, have honored the original recipes and methods that made the bakery a local legend in the first place. This dedication shines through in every bite, whether you're enjoying a simple cake donut, a decadent cream-filled long john, or a seasonal favorite like their pumpkin donuts. Each one tastes like it was made with care and a love for the craft, something you just can't replicate in a factory. In a world full of big chains and fleeting trends, Schneider’s Bakery stands as a delicious and comforting reminder that some things are just better when they're made by a local business. The donuts aren't just the best in the land; they're a piece of Westerville itself, served hot and fresh. You'll LOVE them!
Jay P — Google review
I have been to this bakery for donuts and cookies a few times and appreciate the quality and price of their products. Their donuts do not need to look fancy because they look and taste just the way that donuts should be. Yum! This time, I got four donuts and one cookie, and altogether, they only cost $6.50. I recommend this bakery's donuts and cookies! PS. I will update this review if I try their other kinds of products in the future!

I had a cake made for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary, with one of their wedding pictures put on the cake. and I was sooo happy with the result. I don't even know why, but I started crying when I saw how beautiful it turned out. suuuper embarrassing, but I'm fine 😂👌🏻 and on top of everything, it tasted absolutely insaaaane! even my dad (who doesn't usually eat sweets) ate two pieces! very awesome experience with this bakery ❤️

Always a pleaser!! I hopped by this AM at 9:10 I was able to find a parking place right out front and hop in. The place smelled amazing and had a wide selection of bakery treats. I opted for 2 apple fritters and some donut holes (3)for my son, along with a devils food cake donuts for him as well. For around $5 we had fresh made on-site delicious as a morning treat. They consistently have friendly staff who ensure you feel welcome and the donuts are always a favorite. Worth a stop in for some delicious scratch made goodness!!

DK Diner, short for Donut Kitchen, is a cozy mom-and-pop diner in Grandview Heights that has been serving classic comfort food and hand-crafted signature donuts for over 20 years. The restaurant faced seating challenges due to COVID-19 restrictions but adapted by adding more outdoor seating and doubling the total number of available tables. Despite the limited space, DK Diner remains a popular spot for families to enjoy breakfast on weekends.
I have been looking for a good, classic diner in Columbus for a while now and this is exactly that! From the self serve coffee bar to the delicious pancakes made with their donut batter, this place truly has it all. We tried the blueberry pancakes, breakfast tacos, the jam, and a side of potatoes all the way. Everything we so yummy and hit the spot. The atmosphere both inside and outside really makes this place unique and I will 100% be coming back!! Also, not to mention, the donuts are delicious!!! I tried a traditional glazed, and it was the softest, pillowiest donut Ive ever tried. It's a must try.

What a cute little diner. Tucked away in the neighborhood with not much parking , it's still worth checking out. You get complimentary, serve yourself coffee and donuts while waiting . There's a wide variety of things to make your coffee exactly how you love it. The menu is small but filled with yummy favorites. Prices are comparable to most places now, fairly cheap I'd even say. Everything was delicious and served pretty quickly. The service was great and we will definitely be back

Stepout Columbus highly recommended DK diner, so my wife and I made the trip to the diner. First and foremost, the doughnuts are outstanding. Some of the best doughnuts I've ever had. The breakfast was okay. For the price of biscuits and gravy, I would have liked to see hashbrowns added. The service was pretty much help yourself. And obviously, with everything going on, there is a 50 cent upcharge on each egg. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience.

Cute local diner. Very quick service. Self service drinks. Had the French toast. It was quite disappointing. 2 small pieces of toast cut in half. Came with bacon but I was still starving afterwards. Toast itself was nothing special. Donut sandy was a better choice for my partner.

We got donuts and coffee only on a warm Saturday afternoon. First, the donuts were very classic and unpretentious. Moist, flavorful, and no nonsense. The ambience was… diner— but with some outdoor seating. We walked, but parking seemed difficult. Great service!

Best donuts in Columbus. Picked up donuts today because I wanted to try your limited lemon one. It was absolutely delicious! My other favorites are the sour cream, devils food, and blueberry. Every time I get these to share with family, work, or friends they always ask where they are from because they can’t believe how good they are.
Becca R — Google review
This small diner is located in the heart of Grandview, OH on the corner of 3rd Avenue. The food is pretty good, but be prepared for a wait due to limited seating. Beverages are self-serve, and there’s often a long line at the cashier when paying for your ticket. DK is known for their large size donuts but I wasn’t impressed with the donuts at all. Management needs to work on adding another pay station or fixing the QR code payment option so customers don’t have to wait 20 plus minutes to pay for their meal.
Brina D — Google review
This is one of our favorite places in Columbus! The people at the counter are so nice and somehow remember us, even though the restaurant is always really busy. The donuts are amazing, and the food is great too. But if possible, the people are even better… One time after my first baby I stopped by to get a donut all sweaty and tired with my three week old, and the person at the counter waived the charge. It was a really kind gesture that got me through the week. I will always remember how nice they were, and it always makes our day when we get the chance to stop by!

If you're on the hunt for a delightful donut experience, look no further than Amy's Donuts in Columbus! This trendy spot, which is actually the second location of a Colorado-born chain, has quickly become a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike. Nestled in an old Taco Bell building, its unassuming exterior hides an incredible array of creatively topped donuts that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. At Amy's Donuts, fun is the name of the game.
My wife and I had a pleasant experience at Amy's Donuts. A good donut shop is one of the many things we look for while we're out of town. Not only is Amy's open 24 hours, but the selection of donuts here is insane. In saying that, it took us a while to figure out our order. The employee behind the counter was patient and understanding. We ended up choosing 4 donuts: a chocolate Long John with white cream, a maple coffee cake, a bizmallow caramel, and a vanilla cookie. All 4 donuts were top notch. We also went to Buckeye Donuts on this trip. No disrespect, but Amy's has them beat by a mile. I typically review the original locations of businesses, but since the original Amy's is in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this will have to do. If you're a donut connoisseur, check out 1 of the 6 Amy's locations out there!

Ordered 20 dz donuts for a company event and im only hoping there wil be more event for me to pick up more of these!! They have SO MANY flavors that it’s hard to choose from unless you are like me getting 20 dz a time. They are big, airy and very tasty. Very seasonal priced for the quality and quantity you are getting!

Where better to get birthday donuts than Amy’s! The selection is more vast than competitors offerings combined! Our little birthday boy had the hardest time choosing! Service was prompt and very patient with him as he carefully chose. Donuts were delicious (“adult” choices not pictured but definitely available!) and prices on par with other donut offerings

I went here because my son told me they’re the best. And he was right. I wanted to see if they were better than Jolly Roger donuts and they are better by a mile. Fresh, soft, extra large, and lots of cream filling. Unlike the other place that were stale. I only got 2 donuts, but I’ll be back to bring donuts in for work.

Awesome donuts! Fresh, and you can see chunks of fruit in the various fritters (we had apple and blueberry). The fritters are bigger than my hand! We only ordered 6 donuts, but had to use a 12-donut box to make them fit.. There's a huge selection of donuts with all kinds of toppings. We got two long johns, and she added the filing at both ends - yum! As a side note: only 2 fritters survived after the drive home.

This was my roommate and I’s first time coming to Amy’s Donuts! We have been trying to come here before we both move away from Columbus and we finally decided to go last night. We called around 9:45pm, not knowing they close the inside at 10pm, and a very sweet employee named Andrew answered and told us he would keep the doors open for us so we could come in and see all the donuts since this was our first time and he could tell how excited we were about the donuts! He was so patient and kind while we were in AWE of all the donuts they offered! We ended up buying a dozen and they were ALL. SO. DELICIOUS. Needless to say, give that man a raise, and go get yourself some Amy’s Donuts!!!

Nestled on Kenny Road in Columbus, HoneyDip Donuts & Diner is a beloved spot that perfectly marries the charm of an old-school donut shop with the comforts of a classic diner. After undergoing renovations, this delightful establishment now boasts a spacious dining area and an expanded breakfast menu.
Man I give this spot a 10 out of 10! Got the donut BLT, which was really good, I'll probably prefer the bacon egg and cheese donut sandwich next time. Also got eggs with corn beef hash which was amazing! Eggs were cooked perfectly. Their donuts are fresh and good too. Def worth a try

We went on a Saturday morning and the donut counter was Really Busy! We were able to seat ourselves right away and had service within just a few minutes. The coffee was great!! I ordered the French Toast and my husband got the burrito, smothered in sausage gravy. My french toast was good, but a little doughy. I like mine a little more done. My husband said the burrito and gravy were good. He also ordered a side of homefries and for the price, he definitely didn't get a large enough portion. He said they were good, a lot of garlic! Over all it was good, not great. A little expensive for breakfast. We ordered donuts on the way out and again good, but nothing I have to make a special trip back for.

A great place to get an old-school cake-type donut. Not a lot of places do more than glazed these days, and it's nice to have a high quality cinnamon or coconut cake donut. Great coffee too, and fun for those who appreciate an old fashioned diner.

I only know about their donuts. They are old school donuts. If you eat two in a row you know it because they are substantial, heavy. They have a peanut donut and it is amazing. It is a cake donuts, dipped in glaze, and rolled in salted chopped peanuts. That is the best individual donuts I have had anywhere.

Favorite donut shop in Columbus! Especially because it’s so much MORE than a donut shop! They have a full breakfast & lunch menu! My go to is the Breakfast Burrito, with coffee & a donut to go!! Absolutely delicious! And generous portion! You can get it with sour cream & salsa on the side for no extra charge. Delicious!! Donuts are great too! Wide selection and always fresh! It has a wonderful small town feel - the Owner is as friendly as the waitresses and often comes out to check on you or just chat a bit. Very comfortable environment. Definitely one of the best gems of Columbus!

This place is cute. Has the little diner feel to it. We got some donuts to go. The donuts were pretty good. There is plenty of parking, but my concern would be the space inside. It’s not a large building. Limited seating, I can see there being a wait if it’s a busy day. Overall great experience

Nestled in the charming town of Hilliard, Lil Donut Factory is a delightful family-owned gem that has been serving up fresh, hand-rolled and hand-cut doughnuts since 2009. This beloved local shop offers an impressive selection of 30 to 35 unique flavors daily, ensuring there's always something new to try. Recently, they’ve partnered with a coffee roaster to complement their sweet treats with freshly brewed coffee each morning.
One of the best donut places in Columbus! Their maple-bacon donut is amazing, and apple fritters are really great too. They do a good job on all of their donuts, and their service is quick and kind. HIGHLY recommend the maple-bacon donuts again! I've always gone early morning and picked them up fresh. Their prices are WAY lower than most other donut places. I got a dozen for ~$14 (including specialty donuts) which is a steal.

I never leave reviews. But oh my god lol. donut factory is amazing. It was my boyfriend and i’s first time in there and we couldn’t ask for a better experience. Everyone was so helpful and kind. The woman behind the counter suggested the Carmel nitro cold brew, and we couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it is. And don’t even get me started on the donuts. Each one tasted better than the last. Will absolutely be back again!

If you’re looking for the best donuts in Columbus, look no further than The Little Donut Factory in Hilliard. What makes their donuts stand out isn’t just the creative toppings or fun flavors—it’s the donut itself. Every bite proves they’re good from the core, perfectly balanced with that warm, melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes you stop and savor it. Too many places try to cover up a bland base with heavy frosting or gimmicky extras, but The Little Donut Factory doesn’t need to. Their donuts have flavor and quality baked right into them, and the toppings are just the cherry on top. Whether you grab a classic glaze or one of their inventive creations, you’ll taste the difference immediately. I’ve tried donut shops all over Columbus, and hands down, this is the spot. By far the best-tasting donut in the city—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. A must-visit for locals and anyone passing through!

I heard about this place from a co-worker so I thought I’d try it out. It’s out of my way from where I live but I thought I’d give it a try because I love to try new places. It’s Lil just like it says. They do have a variety of Donuts and cheaper than most donut shops. I got the maple bacon. It was okay. A bit more sprinkles of bacon would be great. The maple cream filled stick was good. I really like the fact that they go easy on the maple frosting because this is a very sweet treat. Right amount of frosting and right amount of cream. Very friendly staff. I went around 6 am on a Friday and boy were they busy with lots of people coming and going. Great lil stop if you are in your way to work in that area. Give it a whirl. See what you think. Just get there early if you want fresh donuts and best pickings. I give it a five for the mere fact that their prices are cheaper for donuts. I definitely will stop again to try their other donuts. Oh and they also have donut holes!

With over a century of experience in the business and now run by the sixth generation of the family, Resch's Bakery has become an iconic establishment on the east side.
Always love going into Resch’s Bakery! The smell alone takes me back to when I was a kid. This trip was a special order for my wife. She wanted a king cake and all of my research led me to Resch’s. I stopped in last week and was helped by Solomon, one of the friendliest and most professional folks you could ask for. For future reference, they have king cakes in flavor profiles of pecan, cinnamon or cream cheese. We opted for the cream cheese. Just picked up the king cake today and it looks and smells incredible. I will have to update my review when we have the cake tonight. 🤤 Update: The king cake was incredible! The cake itself was moist and soft while the icing was super sweet. Highly recommended!!!

Awesome selection of donuts. Fresh and tasty. Busy place but efficient ordering process (take a number) . Could be 5 stars if prices were even close to reasonable. One dozen of the specialty donuts was $38. I got a dozen and a half mixed donuts for $50. Great donuts, too expensive.

Finally was able to stop by this shop and get their donuts. It did not disappoint. I’ve had buckeye donuts and, jolly pirates and their glazed donut always taste stale to me. Resch’s donut was not that and it had the perfect about of sugar glazed. Not overly sweet. Their shop is pretty small though but the call line was very efficient and fast.

Duck Donuts is a popular spot known for its fresh cake donuts with a wide range of flavors. Customers appreciate the variety, reasonable prices, and friendly service. The shop offers made-to-order donuts, allowing customers to choose from suggested combinations or create their own customized treats. Located at 825 Polaris Pkwy in Westerville, Ohio, Duck Donuts stands out for its freshly made donuts that are prepared right before customers' eyes.
How can you not give “donuts made to order “ a 5 star. Customize your own hot off the fryer donut however you want. The donuts are dense and warm and cakey. The toppings are sweet and salty. Glad we were just passing thru. These are addicting.

Their donuts were hot and freshly fried. The strawberry syrup was too sweet for me. It was interesting to watch how the donut was made. But the service was slow because there was only one person making all of things during lunch time. It would be fast to order through the app in advance.

I tried the vanilla and the maple bacon. First time here and the last. Very disappointed, served very hot the icing was melted off both donuts. Very generic tasting. Not what I was expecting at all. Not for 3.50 a piece. Not worth the hype. I have had better at a grocery store.

I was very disappointed the customer service is trash down to the workers and management. They offer something online you go in to pick it up.. and never did they say well we decided to make your order as we desire. Never did they communicate what you paid for is not what your getting.waited for management to call me and he never did. I had to keep calling to communicate how disappointed I was. I will never go there again..and I work for a company who luvs food and always patronize them.. I will let everyone know how my experience with them was trash👎🏻

Huge disappointment today when I tried multiple times to order online and it wouldn’t work. When I finally got it to go through I went to pick up my order and they were out of nearly everything that I ordered. The woman at the front was very nice, but this was literally all my husband asked for for his birthday and now I’m headed home empty handed. There was no way for them to let me know online that my order could not be filled and even though they had my phone number they waited until I walked in to offer alternative options for flavors instead of calling me. I wouldn’t have wasted the trip all the way out to Westerville from Grove City.

Unfortunately, when I came, their espresso machine was not working so only got a regular coffee. Donuts were ok, nothing too spectacular. It's a vanilla cake based donut and it gets dunked in whatever topping you want. Biggest complaint was that the donut was small and soggy so the toppings basically just falls off. Can barely pick it up and eat it without everything just coming right off. Flavor wise, it's fine.

Sooo, they advertised EVERYWHERE for National Sprinkle Day , free confetti donut all day that day. So I get the kids ready and we head out to Duck donuts for our free Confetti Day treat. There was a sign on the door that said " Sorry, we are all out of dough, no doughnuts whatsoever, but we have sandwiches for purchase" Not sure if it was a purposeful dirty ploy to sell sandwiches and not give away donuts or if they just have a really really bad manager. Either way, my kids crying at 9 in the morning because they don't get donuts , not cool, at all. Oh, and no rain checks. There were other littles there crying and other parents that were quite unhappy. I permanently removed Duck Donuts from a place that I would like to spend my family's money. We only have so much donut money and I choose to spend it better.

This family-run bakeshop specializes in an array of mouthwatering treats, from freshly baked breads and rolls to delectable pastries like cannolis and scones.

We found this gem on a day trip to Columbus. Wow. Unassuming (not a CAKEBAKE) genuine charm in the retail counter. The son gave us a cookie sample that blew our minds, and we then bought a bunch. The smell of bread and old-fashioned treats was so nostalgic. The quality of bread and treats was very high. Pistachio Amaretto cookies! Biscotti! Ever have a fried and glazed croissant? Lobstertail confection! Oof. Kinda glad we don't live closer. We'd be CHUBBY! (er)

Visited early one morning and right as they were opened they had a lot of customers ready to get some goodies. Cool people and very good pastries. I got a couple donuts that I really liked and also a lobster tail cream puff. All very good but my one criticism of the lobster tail is that it was a bit dry and hard at some point with more dough. Decent price and a hidden little gem. I didn't get a chance to talk to the owners because it was so busy but I do get the vibe it's a smaller, family owned business.

No cream filling in their long John donuts??? Absolutely not. I have said my whole life that JPD has the best donuts. Not anymore. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day?
Haley S — Google review
They charged me extra for the Fruity Pebble ones that was never specialty ones before. They're regular donuts with a spoonful of cereal that a bag of that cereal is $3. Also didn't realize Long Johns are speciality. And they're more like Short Johns. They're small. Only got them because they didn't have many donuts and nothing states they are. So your manager is charging for specialty but not listing then. Also why open when you have the same donuts I could get at Kroger, Giant Eagle, or UDF for a cheaper price. I've seen a few people walk in, and walk right back out. Lost 3 business transactions in the 5 min I was there. A lady before me asked why they barely had any and the man was kind a rude and said they're closed Mondays and hes the only baker and can't do everything. So the manager can't bake? He wasn't the manager. When I got home, some of the donuts were hard so my GF called to complain and the manager called my GF a liar. Claimed they're all fresh. Either she's lying about being fresh or you're baker lacks making donuts. My GF went back to prove her wrong. The manager touched all the donuts, barehanded, and says they're not hard. We already said not all were hard. She said she can't replace them but she had to because she put her germy hands on them in front of customers. Nice seeing a young manager but thing about being young, have no common sense. GF asked for a discount and she said she can't give refunds. So if someone is charged too much, you can't issue a refund? I don't believe it. Here's the kicker, she replaced all the donuts and didn't replace them with the "Specialty" ones. So I paid for "Specialty" ones and didn't even get them. My GF didn't realize it until she was home because she was mad. Also she gave us less donuts then we took back, really? Called 2x and I get put on hold. Not waiting. And realized it's not worth speaking to her. This was always my go to place go get donuts but if something doesn't change, I'll have to start going elsewhere. It's sad because as a child, we used to go to a location that was in Dayton. Tells you how long ago that was, considering that location closed over 25 years ago. Have been in GC for almost 3 years and was happy to find out Jolly Pirates was still around. Also why are your donuts smaller now then they were 3 years ago? They cost more and they're smaller. With another donuts place opening 1 mile down the road, I won't say their name, I have a feeling Pirates isn't going to last much longer. Oh yeah, why do your employees think it's a good idea to stack donuts? Went from a glazed to a frosted donut. Posting pictures of the old donuts and the replacement so you can see I never got my Specialty donuts. And why are your Long Johns so high. I could have gone to Der Dutchman and got bigger ones at a cheaper price; they're 3x the size of yours. Can the owner please leave their email so we can discuss this issue. The manager says you're OK vacation for 2 weeks and I don't believe that. Responding to what the owner said: No she did not offer a refund for the difference. She said she isn't allowed to give refunds. So keep lying to protect your manager. And noticed you refused to give me information to talk to you directly. I was charged for specialty donuts that wasn't even advertised as specialty. When we got our donuts replaced, she didn't replace them with specialty ones. And when my GF asked for a partial refund, she said shes is not allowed to give refunds. Why would anyone refuse a refund and why are you lying to protect your manager? This is poor business. So please send me your contact information since you're not being very professional.

Classic charm, friendly faces, and amazing donuts! Jolly Pirate in Grove City is one of those places that instantly takes you back in time—in the best way possible. The staff is always friendly, quick to greet you with a smile, and genuinely willing to help every customer who walks through the door. It’s that kind of old-school donut shop hospitality that’s hard to find anymore. The donuts are consistently fresh, soft, and full of flavor—whether you’re grabbing a classic glazed or one of their filled specialties, you can tell they take pride in what they make. Pair it with a cup of coffee and you’ve got the perfect start to your morning. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. You’ll get great donuts, great service, and a warm reminder of what local shops are all about.

Ever since the pandemic, their donuts have been way smaller and the price for a dozen of donuts use to be $7.75. Now, they are charging $16.75. This a rip off. You are getting ripped off on the price and your donuts. Shame on y’all robbing people. This is unacceptable in every which way. We the community support y’all’s shop, and y’all are going to turn around and rip those who are keeping y’all in business open. I also requested for certain donuts to be ordered and they gave me random donuts that I do not eat. I am furious! SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU!!

I stopped in this morning to get my sister her annual birthday donuts. I've been doing this for years. I spent close to $20.00 dollars for 14 donuts. Half of the fancy donuts we're so stale that they seemed like they were 2 or 3 days old. They were so dry they were inedible. I called to let them know and they insisted they were fresh baked that morning. Instead of asking me to bring them back the employee hung up on me. I wasn't rude however I know the difference between a fresh doughnut and a stale one. Who wouldn't. If I could give 0 stars I would. I wont be back. BTW just look at all the reviews saying the same thing. Apparently the owner is unaware or just doesn't care.

The Original Goodie Shop, also known as the Tremont Goodie Shop, is a beloved dessert destination that has been serving the Upper Arlington community for nearly 70 years. Located in the Tremont Center, this long-running bakery offers an array of delectable treats including pastries, cookies, candies, and custom-decorated cakes. Their specialty lies in cookies and cakes but their donuts are equally irresistible - from frosted cake donuts to cinnamon twists and yeast-raised donuts.
I saw this shop on Grubhub today while looking for somewhere that would deliver a special care package to a friend who just lost her beloved fur baby. They were so wonderful and accommodating and put together the sweetest Broken Heart care package. They were even sweet enough to draft a little note for me. My friend was just floored and so touched. She said the treats are delicious. And we both so love that the package comes with Pot Pies - the ultimate comfort food. Thank you all for your kindness. My friend will be stopping by when she's feeling better, and I'll definitely visit the next time I'm in town.

Husband and I stopped in here on a late Saturday afternoon before going to dinner next door. This was our first visit and the staff was friendly. The case to the right when you first walked in was pretty much completely empty, and they were almost out of pies in the top basket, but the cookie case and the ones to the left of the cookies, were pretty full. We selected an assortment of cookies, and they were all delicious! Next time we go back we want to get some of the rolls as well, as they looked very soft and fresh.

Walked in and wasn’t greeted. Bakery items do not all have pricing on cases and employee seemed annoyed that I was questioning prices. She also was answering while in the middle of our conversation. Ordered a cinnamon stick and pecan roll. The pecan roll was dry and did not have any flavor. I guess I was expecting to be wowed from the reviews. The cinnamon stick was edible but would not recommend. My daughter had a cheese danish and took one bite and said it was not good. I will not be returning.

This bakery has produced our daughter’s favorite birthday cakes two years in a row. She has always been very particular about her birthday cakes. She takes their design very seriously and appreciates the artistry that goes into a well-executed design. The Original Goodie Shop bakery has nailed it both times. 2024 Victorian 7-inch round cake $58.15 White cake with almond-flavored, custom-colored buttercream icing, and a custom design based on inspiration photos. More details: 1. I put in the order on a Tuesday and they produced this beautiful cake by Thursday. Caveat: I got lucky they could make this happen. It’s not a turn around time I would expect. 2. Eli meticulously worked with me, the photo inspirations, and my daughter’s requested color theme to document the order that resulted in the most beautiful birthday cake my daughter had ever seen. Eli even found a paint palette online to serve as an example for the decorator. The decorator perfectly interpreted my daughter’s vision. 3. Eli gave a detailed explanation of the price up front. 4. The cake was moist and the almond-flavored buttercream icing was delicious. 2025 Monet’s Water Lillies 7-inch round cake $63.95 Almond-flavored white cake with custom-colored vanilla buttercream icing and a custom design based on an inspiration photo. This design required more expertise and time than the previous year’s design. More details: 1. I worked with Emilie through email to submit the inspiration photo and other details ten days in advance. 2. Emilie provided a detailed explanation of the price up front. 3. Usually, our daughter has very specific ideas of what she wants for her birthday cake design, but this year, I wanted to surprise her. I think she was wary to give up control. She visited the MoMA in July and loves Monet’s Water Lillies painting, so I thought this would honor both. Because she prefers pastel over brightly colored icing, mainly due to the (typically) bitter taste, I was nervous. She couldn’t believe her eyes when we revealed the cake to her. She said it was perfect, and she knew right away what the inspiration was. She said it was so beautiful she didn’t want to cut it. Needless to say, we took many photos to preserve the memory of this work of art. 4. The cake was well-flavored and moist. The buttercream icing was perfectly applied, not too thick or thin, and the flavor was unaffected by the brighter coloring. I am grateful for the decorators and crew at TOGS that have made two birthdays extra special for our daughter. 🎂💛

Great cookies and the sweetest workers. I love that’s it’s family owned and operated and the workers who aren’t family seem to be treated as such. Very pleasant and clean bakery too.

I had a wonderful experience at this bakery that went far beyond the product—it was genuine human warmth. I’m an immigrant, and in all my time living here, almost no other place has shown a gesture like this. While picking up an Uber Eats order, a gentleman greeted me like an old friend and, to my surprise, offered me a donut. He even let me choose between vanilla or chocolate, but insisted the vanilla one would be perfect. I saved it to share with my wife, who knows a bit about pastry, and we both loved it. The dough was soft and fluffy, with balanced sweetness, and the cream complemented the dough perfectly. An elegant, delicate, and memorable donut. I don’t know his name, and he doesn’t know mine, but kindness and hospitality need no names. If you haven’t visited this place yet, you should—you’ll find quality… and humanity.

The Goodie Shop is the best bakery! We stop by all the time for little treats. Recently we had them bake a cookie cake and small wedding cake for our wedding. Both were delicious and beautifully decorated. We told them our wedding colors and general decorations we liked and they knocked it out of the park.

I went in very early on a Saturday morning to kind of beat the crowd. The pastries that I got in the cookies were good. But the customer service was absolutely terrible. The teenager/man that waited on me was beyond rude and to be honest, I almost left without my order because he was just that rude. I ordered several things, but because I didn’t get to finish speaking because he interrupted me he grabbed a bag to put all my items in when I ordered several things that needed a box and then he got rude with me about it like it was my fault that I ordered several things that would’ve required a box when I tried to explain him in the beginning that I was going to order several things. Even when he was checking me out at the end of it, he was rolling his eyes and was just so completely rude, like he didn’t even want to be there. I don’t necessarily know if this represents the type of company that you have, but I waited so long to finally get a chance to come to your shop from Virginia, and I could not have been more disappointed in how I was treated.

If you're on the hunt for a delightful donut experience in Columbus, look no further than Donna's Delicious Dozen. This charming shop, which takes pride in its casual vibe and friendly service, is open every day except Mondays. What sets it apart is the ability to customize your donuts just the way you like them! Locally owned and operated, they specialize in made-to-order treats that cater to various tastes, including gluten-free options clearly marked for convenience.
I eat gluten free cuz it causes bad headaches and my body hurts like I have the flu & it causes belly issues for my daughter. I was in Columbus to meet a friend and googled gluten free bakery and this placed popped up. The staff member was very nice and helpful, explaining what was gluten free and preparation. I ordered 1/2 dozen donuts with various toppings. I got to my daughter's to share and on 1st bite our eyes grew wide and we both said "they aren't dense! They are light & airy!" They were sooo delicious!!! They are pricey (but what gluten free items isn't??!!!) but worth it to be eating a gf donut that tastes like a regular one. I highly recommend. I would not recommend for celiac because they do make "regular" flour donuts. We will be back!!!

The young woman making the donuts was very precious and sweet and helpful! Donuts were very yummy! Simple cake donut, but made fresh and hot; I made my own (maple icing, honey drizzle, streusel and PB cup). Also tried a white cream filled with chocolate icing - loved it! Simple, but the icings were VERY fresh and I love that they fill a cake donut!

Fantastic donuts. I got round John's, cherry filled,and PB something. All were delicious. I got a half dozen,plus 2 for the same price as a dozen at other donut shops.

Great place with fresh donuts made to order. The staff was very helpful and took my order over the phone so it is ready by the time I got there. The selection of donuts is very diverse with something for everyone. The prices are pretty good too given the quality and attention to detail. These donuts were a big hit with my team and were a great way to start a work day. Would highly recommend for people with a sweet tooth.

This was honestly one of the best donuts I’ve ever had in Columbus! Perfectly fresh, light, and just the right amount of sweetness. The owners and staff are incredibly friendly and quick with service, which made the experience even better. I was a little hesitant to try at first, but I’m so glad I did! I went with their strawberry cheesecake donut (recommended by them), and it absolutely did not disappoint. My friends and I will definitely be back to try more flavors! P.s. no pics because it was devoured!

Service was a little slow. I couldn't figure out if the woman behind the counter was just getting donuts ready or if she was giving me time to look at the menu. But I eventually had to ask her if I could order after a good 8 to 10 minutes of standing there. Looking at the selections which were delicious but a little overpriced compared to competitors like ducks. I stopped here after church because I had never seen the place before. Did I mention the donuts are delicious?

Golden Donuts & Diner is a beloved spot in Columbus, known for its classic decor and delicious offerings. The diner serves up a variety of dishes for breakfast and lunch, including double cheeseburgers, fries, cinnamon rolls, breakfast sandwiches, and chili. The donuts at this place are unique as some of them do not have holes and resemble the tops of muffins. Customers can enjoy their meals while listening to tunes from different eras and genres if they choose to dine in.
This is probably the best restaurant in this neighborhood. The staff is very friendly and the food was great. It is located in a dount shop, it seems like a strange combination, but seems to work. I had the shrimp and chicken hibachi, and it was very good. We also had the Crab Rangoon, which was good. Our lunches came with soup as well.

First time coming here since hibachi was introduced but all I can say is overall disappointed because I was expecting a little more for the price I paid for all of this (untouched btw) was $28. When I opened the boxes I instantly thought to myself I should’ve just gotten the hibachi entree because these are legit kids meals. I was craving breakfast and wanted to try something new but this is why I have anxiety about trying new things if I can’t sit down in the restaurant first. The donuts on the other hand were HUGE and she gave me 2 for forgetting them in my bag. Overall I will not be returning but do as you will. 4/10 (only because of the donuts)

Good old fashioned diner serving some deliciousness for either breakfast or lunch. I had the double cheeseburger with bacon, cheeseburger, fries, cinnamon rolls, their breakfast sandwich (BEC), coffee, and their chili. I have not been disappointed. You may order the meat your style. For me, preferably medium well. The burger is massive and it’s taste deliciously impactful. If you dine in, you will listen to some nice tunes from specific eras and genres. You may dine in and or order take out. Prices are decent. Staff is amazing. Parking in front of the restaurant. Excellent prices!

I really liked the atmosphere here, but I think they need to do something to make the surroundings pop. Everything is so old and faded. Shame. I got the patty melt. You know that mystery meat they served you in school? That's what you get here. I could not stomach it so I got tomato grilled cheese instead and sent back the burger. I don't know how but they messed that up too. See the photos. And, finally, the waitress was really sweet and kind but I just could not understand her. I don't think she speaks much English, poor thing. I won't be back. I wish them a better chef and higher quality inventory.

Nestled in the heart of the community, My Old World Bakery is a charming establishment that exudes a delightful old-fashioned vibe. With its early hours, this bakery offers an impressive array of baked goods including breads, rolls, cookies, cakes, pies, and their famous donuts. Priced at just 60 cents each, these hearty and flavorful treats are a must-try! The owner’s warm personality adds to the inviting atmosphere where families feel right at home.
Incredibly sweet owner with very tasty bread and cakes!!! Sometimes there's also doughnuts although she's not making them right now (the doughnut sticks are the best in the Hilltop!). The cookies are delicious, sometimes on the crunchy/chewy side but always tastes amazing and perfect with a cup of coffee or warm hot chocolate. You can also go in and make custom orders, as Terri makes adorable cakes (I've gotten cakes with wildflowers, ghosts, and Kirby so far)! I'm grateful to have such a lovely little bakery so close to home, she's even made my wedding cake <3

I thought the pastries were small, about 1/3 less in size than a regular donut and the price was 90 cents each! I can go to Meijer and get better tasting donuts for 60 cents each. The lady told me that they make their donuts the night before, so I guess that explains why they don't taste vary fresh. I got a creme horn and it had meringue in it instead of a sweet creme filling. The only good thing that I would go back to eat again was their pecan rolls, they were quite tasty.

Tupelo Doughnuts is a popular donut shop in Clintonville, known for its unique and flavorful donuts. While their physical space is being built, they operate from their bright turquoise trucks named Tup and Tilly. The menu features a variety of creative flavors such as creme brulee, rosewater almond, orange cardamom, and brown-butter hazelnut old-fashioned.
Every single donut I've had from them has been delicious. I love the old fashioned ones the best. They always have something special, like this s'mores donut! Love picking them up from the tiny truck or at the farmers market!
Maggie C — Google review
I was excited to finally try Tupelo after following them for a while, and have become a huge fan since then. The donut flavors are quite unique, and they have weekly specials that they'll advertise on social media. The yeast risen donuts have a very fluffy texture with good density; the cake donuts could be slightly too dry; the filled donuts have lots of filling, typically made in-house from fresh fruits, with a great balance by not being overly sweet. Their trucks have some of the friendliest people you'll meet working them. On the down side, they have inconvenienced me on multiple occasions by not being where they advertised or cancelling last minute. I'd highly recommend following them on IG to know their daily whereabouts, and always get there early because they sell out quickly!

I love Tupelo’s! I normally go to their truck. I tried going to their actual place and it was open but no one was inside. I waited and waited for about 20 mins and even called but no answer. That was a bit frustrating. I thought it would be nice to stop by since I was in the area but it would be great if someone was there. Other than that, I still give them 5 stars because of the good experiences I’ve had with their van and their tasty donuts.

Have been looking for a donut spot in Dublin for a while now. Stumbled upon Tupelo in the comments section of a Nextdoor question. The website was easy to use and I wish I had pre-ordered. Decided to walk-in without realizing what time it was. I accidentally arrived a few minutes after they closed, though I didn’t realize it until I was checking out. I was let in and couldn’t have been a friendlier environment. The donuts looked amazing and I was helped to pick out a few of what was left, again, I should have pre ordered. Got the donuts home and not only do they look beautiful but they are delicious. Will definitely be frequenting and am looking forward to pre-ordering the cinnamon rolls next weekend! Thanks for a great donut experience!

Placed a pick up order and when I showed up they had no idea what I was talking about and didn't have any of the donuts for the order. Ended up getting whatever I could. One of the donuts was completely doughy and uncooked halfway through and the other had weird herb bits that were definitely not supposed to be in there. I would recommend going literally anywhere else.

By recommendation, I popped by Bake Me Happy to find a good treat. I ended up with a coffee cake muffin. It had cinnamon inside and frosting on top. The appearance was fantastic. I'm not used to gluten free, but I'm trying. So that I could eat it immediately, I got a chair out of my hatch and sat right there in the parking lot to enjoy it. It's cool to get a feel for the neighborhood. These guys have all sorts of ground coffee, gluten-free beer, tea, dry goods and refrigerated items, along with actual coffee shop items. This building used to be an old post office. They moved to this location about 2 years ago. It's a mile or so from the old spot, but has way better car and foot traffic. I would definitely have gotten some more stuff, but I'm about to have a hell of a day in Columbus. #onforkstoforks #eatlocal #foodie #coffeeshop #GlutenFree #donuts

This place offers and incredible variety of gluten free offerings. We got several items to try different things and were not disappointed by anything we got. We found the prices to be incredibly affordable given most people often up-charge for GF items. We found the quiche to be particularly incredible. I’d recommend the caramelized onion option. I also really enjoyed the seasonal peach coffee cake. The owner’s husband helped us and was engaging and patient with us while we decided what we wanted to do he also walked through and explained what each of the items were.

Found this place last minute as a highly rated bakery in Columbus. I decided to give it a try and take part in enjoying the deliciousness. When I arrived it was around 1:30. It seemed like half the stock was out or low. Could sandwiches were basically empty a handful of the pastry trays were low. I assumed that was almost a good sign that meant sales were good which means pastries are good. I decided to get a caramel almond roll as I love both caramel and almonds. When I got to where I was going I was excited to dive in and even took a great picture. At first bite there was a strange taste. I took a few more to confirm and I was right it indeed had a weird taste. Something with the caramel moose had a very chemically/artificial taste to it. Very unenjoyable and ruined the entire cake. It fell like eating cleaning product moose. Idk if the mixing bowl the moose was made in didn’t get rinsed all the way or what but something not good happened. As for service again the slowness or lack of restocking items was an issue. Someone bought me an iced coffee with light milk And it was fully loaded with milk which means a lack of attention to detail. Personally preference they have work to do before getting anywhere near 4+ stars

I recently visited Einstein Bagels for the first time, and I have to say, it was a good experience. I tried their coffee, and chocolate mousse and they were good. The thing that I dislike about this place was that they don’t have wi fi so i don’t will come again.

No.1 Gyro Shoppe is a modest Greek restaurant that's famous for its gyros, kebabs, and sub sandwiches. Customers rave about the top-notch quality of the chicken gyro, which is generously portioned and reasonably priced. The staff is known for their friendliness and willingness to accommodate special requests. Regulars appreciate the consistent accuracy of their orders, whether dining in or getting takeout or delivery.
First time here and food was great. Very quick service. The normal gyro was Awesome.... the chicken gyro was not. It was just bland. It had alot of chicken and was cook right, but was just bland. The feta pastry was pretty good. There is alot of parking and the building is easy to see from street. Highly recommend the gyro. Didnt see a bathroom??

So I came here before noon my gyro meat isnt hot it cold! The fries is cold ans well and whatever the red seasoning they put on fries they do too much ! The guy in back had thee most nasty attuide as in he doesn’t like his job just plain rude and talks rude! The young lady working the front and drive thru was nice and welcoming but the young man wasn’t at all so if you guys want hot food and a welcoming atmosphere and also makes you feel appreciate me for your business this isn’t the place !!! If I spend money I want to feel welcome and that they appreciate my business. Not dealing with nasty attuide or aggressively talked to when you ask a question ! I don’t know maybe the guy was mad because he was small that pop he changing he barley could lift it like it weighed more than him !!! Save your business coach this man or get him out of there !

Love the food here. But you have to watch that you get what you order. I asked for gyros with lettuce only and both sauces on the side with cucumber on the side. I got gyros with a ton of sauce lettuce tomato and a lot of onion with no cucumber on the side or the sandwich. It sucks because now I have food we don't want to eat. Just check everything before you leave.

I came here after the gym to purchase a salad. These guys think they're because they're from the Middle East or from a country that they get to talk to the women at any kind of way. I see him making my salad with no gloves. I asked for know me and they gave me half of lettuce portion in no tomatoes in the drive-through cashier told me you told me know me no tomatoes. Clearly not listening and then I seen him remake my salad with no gloves. And causing a big argument and telling me he's not going to give me my money back okay fine I'll see you a small place. Or better Business bureau

I have come to this place since it opened and it was always delicious and never a problem. This time was different, I don't know what or why but the meat was old looking and dry and greasy then the baklava was tough and not fresh at all. It's like it was frozen or something. It's so sad because I don't get this very often and to have it be this bad is very disappointing. They have a sign in the window now also saying tips are appreciated, that was never there before. I think maybe they changed hands or something. It's not the same. It gave me the worst heartburn that I never experienced from eating there before . The French fries were hot and tasty, but I went for the gyros not the fries. Time to find another gyro shop :(

Barely any sauce at all meat in gyros were so dry I was choking on it as I ate very disappointed I specified the cucumber sauce I got a tiny drip under the overwhelming amount of lettuce and little amount of meat this place is hit or miss anymore very sad this location use to be so consistent. Food was not hot and fresh either I order for pickup and picked up on time as well the rice pudding was watery i had to add vanilla extract to improve the taste.

I visited here just for the gluten free cinnamon donut, only to find out they had a whole other selection! Every single one was delicious! It is so hard to find good gluten free baked goods. 100% will go back.

Happy Little Treats is a real gem in the city! Their cookies and sweets are to die for and the customer service is amazing! My brother Mitch visited there as part of a lost bet. He pranced and danced into the Mahon in a pink tutu, ruffled bloomers as the bearded ballerina! The staff welcomed him (with more than a little laughter) and could not help but take some pics join in the fun. They promised to post some pics of Mitch the #BeardedBallerina so others could see the fun they have at their store. They even asked if Mitch would come again…we hope he will lol Thanks again!! You cookies are delicious and service is amazing!!

Easily a 5 star for me. This cute little pastry shop has an assortment of different trays to try, as well as a coffee menu. The staff member I interacted with was seriously one of the most delightful people on earth. She was so patient with me as I asked questions about all the treats. (They all looked so good, decided what I wanted was challenging!) We ended up getting a chocolate croissant and an oatmeal crème pie. I left with a very satisfied sweet tooth! I hope to come back again soon to try more of these delicious goodies!

So good! Had planned on going to another bakery, but due to time constraints, pivoted and went here. We weren't disappointed! Basil croissant was savory, light, and delicious! Had another savory croissant with similar ingredients which was excellent. Also had an oatmeal cream pie, which was what brought me in when I looked up the bakery. The cream was PERFECT. I was looking for a little more of an oatmeal cookie outside rather that the soft cake shell personally, but it was good! We had a cream horn that was light, flaky and awesome. The lady serving us was patient, helpful, and very nice. There is a little bit of space to eat on benches along the wall, but no tables. I was in a hurry, so I could have missed them. We don't usually eat vegan, but I couldn't tell the difference. I'd plan to go back.

I'm not vegan but my sister is. She brought my daughter here with her for treats, and my daughter and I have been back several times! The croissants are fantastic, the pop tarts are amazing and last time we got to try the oatmeal cream pie 🤤 Every time I'm enjoying their treats I think to myself...if I didn't know these were vegan, I'm not sure I would even detect that they're alternative.

My family and I have enjoyed coming here for years! It may have started off as a great place to hang out in after the bars closed when I was younger. Then it quickly became I place I also took my daughter to for a fun meal after work and school. It has grown with our family and friends, we will be incredibly sorry to see it close.

This place has decent food and decent drinks. Not good for big crowds. We went here after a memorial. And the waitresses couldn’t keep track of our orders or bills. Especially the waitress Allie. Short haired girl. She made me feel very uncomfortable. She didn’t ask for my order. She ignored me and asked everyone else around me what they wanted. I ended up eating some of my brothers food to not cause a scene. It was very disrespectful, inconvenient and uncomfortable.

I can definitely see why this place was named best on Ohio State campus. Huge menu doesn't mean low quality here. Nice variety. Everyone can find something they like. You cannot argue prices either. One the the few places with ample parking (as far as campus parking goes). We had a great server too. She took a lot of pride in serving us, and really slowed enthusiasm with the menu. Definitely coming back to try EVERYTHING.

AMAZING!!! fantastic food, large enough food selection for almost everyone to find something. Has vegetarian options. Also has a rather nice weekend brunch with deals on mimosas and other cocktails.

Wait staff was friendly, food was decent. The place was freezing, it took me too long to order even though they seemed well staffed and not too busy. Then it took too long for the food to come. There is only one men's bathroom stall and it's tiny and the toilet seat is busted. I had to wait to use it, and when I got in there was no toilet paper. Then the toilet clogged and I had to plunge it. Then the paper towel dispenser didn't work. Also the bathroom is even colder than the restaurant. Wait staff was friendly though, but not especially attentive. It wasn't a horrible experience. Also the food is reasonably priced. Finally, when the waitress brought me my check, the pen didn't work and I had to ask the bartender for another.

The donuts themselves are great. Customer service is terrible. Placed an online order and when I went to pick it up the employee stated the order wasn’t due until 6:50p. There was no one else in the store and she wasn’t working on any other orders. She also said ‘I shouldn’t have even started this until 5 minutes before it was due.’ Very rude and just kept going on and on because we were early to pick it up. We didn’t even complain that we would have to wait. And we open the box to find out our donuts were placed upside down.

Rose Dough Donuts is a delightful gem for donut lovers, even though it doesn't have a traditional storefront. Instead, you can pre-order and pick up your treats from the 1400 Food Lab or find them at various local markets and events. They are known for their scratch-made brioche donuts, old fashioneds, and crullers that feature an exciting array of seasonal flavors.
Absolutely amazing donuts made by kind people! I've worked at multiple donut shops in my life and these are easily the best crullers I've ever had. I had the brown butter brûlée donut and it was phenomenal. The texture of the crueler is amazing and even though the place was slammed, the workers were kind and patient!

I got here at about 9:40 on a Saturday after noticing their store while walking up High earlier this week. They had a line of about 30 people, so I would recommend getting there at or before 9:30 as I heard one of their flavors was sold out by the time I got to the counter. Glazed with sprinkles ($6): The glaze has a ton of vanilla in it and isn't overly sweet or thick like Buckeye Donuts. The dough, on the other hand, was very dense and almost dry for a raised donut, which left me a bit disappointed. 3/5 Chocolate Old-Fashioned ($5.5): Same good glaze and the dough was like a reverse brownie, being soft on the edges and firmer cake in the center. Very good! 4.5/5 Earth, Wind, and Fire Cruller ($6.5 I think): If I had to get one donut from here, it would be this one. The meringue is absolutely loaded with vanilla and the ganache has some nice warming spices in it. Combined with the super airy and moist dough, this was an easy 5/5. Would I go back? Probably, but just for the Earth, Wind, and Fire. You can tell they use very high quality ingredients, but I don't think I can justify the price for more than one of these in a visit. I'll be keeping a look out for the next round of seasonal flavors!

I heard the recent new opening of this place and decided to come by to try a donut, at 11:35 or so, they were down to the last flavor and almost sold out. That made my decision of which flavor to try easier, so I tried the flavor that they had left and it was very good. It did taste like a luxury donut, had a bit of a peanut butter flavor, was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Last week, I tried to stop by about half an hour before closing and it was also sold out. I think they should make more since they are selling them out but they said they have just two staff that bake them and are trying to figure out the optimal amount to make. The donut was actually better than I thought it would be, I thought it could be hyped up and just tastes like regular donuts but they actually do taste different than regular donuts

Top marks. Fantastic crullers, fantastic non-crullers. I have been waiting for a cruller doughnut shop in Columbus for ages, and this one finally scratches that itch. More than just being crullers, they're fantastic crullers. They beat out all the ones I've had, even popular widely known joints like Daily Provisions in NYC. The doughnuts are varied and interesting, while still keeping a few classics (like chocolate glaze) in store.

I can't say enough good things about these donuts! We look forward to the seasonal rotating flavors; they are so creative and they use the highest quality, local ingredients.

Can't recommend enough!!

The donuts are incredible and you can tell they are made with high quality ingredients. I love that they have seasonal flavors and especially loved the Buckeye brioche - it is equal parts soft, sweet and rich! The shop is adorable and the decor is awesome - you can tell there was a lot of attention to detail in the design and branding. The team was polite, professional and moved quickly. Definitely go a few minutes before 9:30 to get in line - it is worth the 15ish minute wait. I cant wait to go back and try new flavors!

The Little Donut Shop, located near the campus, specializes in frying a single type of cake donut and then adorning them with an array of delightful toppings such as crushed cookies, candies, maple bacon, powdered sugar, chocolate pretzel, and other seasonal flavors. While the staff is incredibly friendly and the variety of donuts is extensive and delicious, some customers have noted inconsistencies in size and shape due to occasional machine malfunctions.
First time trying these donuts out and I was not disappointed (neither were my coworkers). Donuts are smaller but have a lot of flavor. The basic cake donut was soft and delicious. The maple bacon was fantastic and the fruity pebble one was better than I expected.

From my experience, this place has very friendly service. You don't get the textural variety that most donut shops offer since everything is built on top of the same vanilla cake donut, but they do have a decent variety of toppings. Also, the cake donut is pretty moist with an overall good texture. Some toppings such as maple bacon and cookie dough are excellent and make for really good donuts, while others are underwhelming and/or have strange aftertaste. Overall, this is a pretty good shop, but not amongst the best in Columbus.

One cannot knock this place for the staff or variety of donuts. The staff is awesome and the donuts: the options are endless and delicious! The only issue with The Little Donut Shop is the consistency. Some mornings their machine is on the fritz and the donuts are misshapen and irregular and, most egregiously, small. If the consistency were any better, this would be an A+ donut experience.

Ok, nothing I would go back specifically for. Had plenty of protein for the price. Needed some extra flavor and heat, fortunately I was able to walk right back in to flavor & fire and get something to spruce it up. Definitely do not ask for a side of salmon like I did, spend the extra several bucks and get the side from their fridge. $5 charge for a side of salmon and I got 2 slices. I know this doesn't sound like a very positive review, but it is, cause part of it is location and having the ability to redress with readily available ingredients at the market.

However, it seems that change is on the horizon, with news circulating about its lease not being renewed due to upcoming developments in Columbus.
