The Tastiest Donuts in Columbus

Buckeye Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.2 (436) • $

"For a Saturday morning the place was definitely busy and our service was nice. The selection of donuts was awesome. We ordered iced Buckeye lattes but we weren't happy with them, the taste was very unpleasant. The freshly made donuts were very tasty."

Lil Donut Factory

★★★★★ 4.5 (154) • $

"Love this lil place! This is the second time I've had donuts delivered to my workplace and was very pleased by the quality and variety. My favorite thing about this place is that when ordering, there is an option for peanut allergy and seeing as my coworker is super allergic, it gave me peace of mind that I could a share with her safely."

Honey Dip Donuts

★★★★☆ 4 (133) • $

"A cute little dinette where you can get all your breakfast faves! It's very busy on a Saturday morning here and customers are packed in the small dining room and bar area seating. Service was sweet and fast which was good could I was hungry! I didn't get their signature donut offerings but I got their pancake which hit the spot. The have a Soup du Jour that I brought home with me that was very good the next day. If you're looking for a diner experience for a fast and easy breakfast, try the HDD!"

Jolly Pirate Donuts

★★★★☆ 4 (123) • $

"If you like fresh cake and lots of sugar, you're gonna love these donuts. They were fresh they were not over done they were not under done as donuts go. They were perfect donuts."

Upper Cup Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.4 (81) • $

"What a cute coffee shop! Came in here as we were attempting to kill some time and walk around this little downtown area. Lots of people in here working and even just catching up over a cup of coffee with some friends. I loved the atmosphere in here. They had some unique seating, including a church pew for seating which I thought was so fun and interesting. The menu is pretty simple but the coffee is pour over and they do it right at the counter!!! I loved it and loved the smell. They even had bags you could take home and I kind of wish I did. The coffee smelled AMAZING! I went the basic route and just got vanilla iced coffee with oat milk. It was really good! We got our coffee and walked around the fountain area and then walked by the river, too. Definitely a cute coffee shop I would recommend!"

The Original Goodie Shop

★★★★☆ 4.1 (81) • $

"My family has been going here for literally my whole life (over 60 years). I stopped by today and my sister and I both bought decorated cookies. I bought some that were small and perfect for a tea, or in my case, just a small bit of sweetness for a light dessert. The "multicolor corn" cookies were perfect for fall and glad they had "buckeyes also"."

Jolly Pirate Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.2 (64) • $

"The donuts were good but the apple fritter was the best I've ever head ( thanks Cristy, you called it). The place is one of those old school donut shops, so it had that charm going for it. Amazingly cheap, so well worth it."

Daylight Donuts and Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (89) • $

"I ordered two long johns's on the app yesterday morning (paid and tipped as well) for my husband and I. I walked over to pick them up and went in the store where they were boxed up and ready to go. Delicious.They offer delivery via third party or pickup from the app MyCoffeeHelper, or they are also allowing people inside to choose their selections. They also have curbside pickup."

Fort Findlay Coffee & Doughnut Shoppe

★★★★★ 4.6 (37) • $

"Not bad! I've been told it was the sight of a former big chain doughnut, but the new owners went their own way. At $7.99 a dozen it seems pricey,(2nd time same doughtnuts and $3.99. ) but I haven't bought doughnuts in awhile. They were good, fresh ingredients. I will stop when ever I'm in Findlay.Stopped again last week, but they were closed the entire week between Christmas and New Years. I ended up at Tim Horton's, which was quite a dissapointment compared to this place."

Rolls By The Pound - Coffee and Treats

★★★★★ 4.5 (34)

"I visited for the first time yesterday. The shop is easy to access and there's decent parking in the lot. It seems the storefront isn't open right now because a sign on the door said to use the drive thru. The drive thru doesn't have great signage but it's on the backside of the building. I ordered a signature cinnamon roll and an unsweetened medium iced tea. The ice tea was way over steeped and very bitter. Had the storefront been open, I probably would have asked for a different drink because it was bad, but since it was a drive thru, I ended up throwing it away. But the good news was that I barely though about the iced tea at all because the cinnamon roll was so good. They offered to warm the bun up for me, but I declined since I was eating it later. The roll is large-- it took up almost all the space in a standard clamshell container. As for taste, the gooey cinnamon filling is generous, and the icing is heaped on but light and sweet. I ate the roll over the course of the day. It is hefty and definitely worth the $4! I'm looking forward to the next time I can find a reason to treat myself to another roll."

Mochi Ring

★★★★☆ 4 (43) • $

"I've been wanting to try these since I heard about them. We've been TWICE this week because they are so addictive. The shape of the donut makes it perfect for sampling, it's easy to pull off one bite to try. We've enjoyed all the flavors but my favorite are the ube (lavender/lavender) and the sesame (grey). They are soft and chewy and not overly sweet. Perfect with a cup of coffee in the morning. They also keep better than most donuts. Still good 3 days later if you manage to not eat them before that!"

Teamoji

★★★★☆ 4.3 (28)

"Came on a whim since I had been wanting to try this spot for a while!You order on the screen and wait for your drink, then they'll call your number at the pickup window. Tiny place. There were 2 others ahead of me waiting for their drinks but it doesn't take long at all. They weren't that busy.I wanted a Korean corn dog because it seemed like that had it online, or at least there were pics on their website. But it turned out it wasn't on the menu in the screen? I had ordered a black sesame mochi donut and the osmanthus honey oolong milk tea at 50%. Delicious! I'll be back for more!"

New System Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.9 (30) • $

"I've had the pleasure of enjoying bakery items from New System many times and I have never been disappointed. Great business owned by awesome people. Definitely a must-have when in Chillicothe."

Jolly Pirate Donuts

★★★★☆ 3.8 (31) • $

"I was in the area and decided to stop in and get some doughnuts for the family. The service was friendly and the variety of doughnuts was good. I highly recommend getting a blueberry fritter. I'd never had one before and very much enjoyed."

Daylight Restaurant & Bakery

★★★★☆ 3.7 (27) • $$

"Yum! Too bad this wasn't around when I was frequenting the BMV next door. A quick coffee or donut (or Turkish delight - wow they looked good) for standing in line would be wonderful! Love the vibe of the cafe. It's clean and there are a lot of options at an affordable price. I got a buckeye latte and I know the same drink costs over $5 at my local coffee shop. I'm not sure how long they have been here but it feels like a hidden gem more people need to find! Plus, they're on the Destination Hilliard ice cream trail. Come check it out!"

Dunkin'

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (32) • $

"So who knew that the library closes with snow. Maybe level 2 snow emergency triggers it? Don't know. Regardless, it was closed but Dunkin Donuts was open with coffee and wi fi. After spending the morning and early afternoon home working with the hubby there (works for schools which were closed) - I couldn't 'take any more of being in the house while he watched "Pulp Fiction."My adventure into the snow led me to Dunkin Donuts. It was maybe 2 PM by the time I got there - no one else in the store. I got a large cup of decaf with SF vanilla flavor. Or at least that's what I ordered. I may have got decaf but pretty sure there was no flavor. Definite language barrier in place.At least the coffee was hot, the wi fi was free, and there was a seat away from the door (and they have a restroom). I sat down and plugged into the wi fi and went to work. I was there maybe 1.5 hours. I think 3 people came in and got small to go orders. Not sure how they stay in business - must have a heavy rush at meal times and mornings.There were maybe 7 or 8 tables and a TV was on - but no too loud. One other person came in and sat down before I left - but again, quiet enough and non-intrusive so I was able to work.This spot ranks not at the lowest for Gahanna options - but I don't think I'll be back. There are others that are in the same price range ($2) that I liked better. No real complaints - but also no AWESOME experience to brag about either."

"What a cool little soda fountain! Great drinks and great ideas for unique flavors. Try the Captain Jack Sparrow in a Coke Zero!"

"One year later and Dunkin is still our go-to.There are a couple things in life I don't take lightly, never take for granted, and always get sad when it's gone. At the top of that list, you guessed it, Dunkin coffee. My darkest days are when I sleep in and don't provide time to "hit the dunk". At first I was skeptical of the hype, I mean, how does a coffee place make all of America run?? Past me would've thought this was insanity. Then the sweet, captivating, ice cold Carmel latte with light sugar and almond milk danced its way onto my taste buds. Ever since that day, hitting the dunk is like going to the bathroom, everyday, and constantly spot hitting. - chip Ever just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and you feel like the day is already doomed? Same. But then I get Dunkin. And I'm good -Munchie"

JT'S Bagel Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (10) • $

"Pretty good bagels and donuts. Their selection is great. The bagels are kind of soggy depending on the day. They don't really walk you through anything. The first couple times I went in, the workers just stared at me and waited...kind of impatiently. Not all of the workers have been that way, though. It obviously isn't bad enough to make me stick to my gluten free and healthy eating lifestyle every couple weeks. My biggest upset with this place is the building it is in. They repainted part of it, but when you step back, it is kind of scary to look at."

Dunkin'

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (19) • $

"I ordered 25 muchkins and they gave me 17. Also I asked for original glazed and they gave me chocolate. They need to focus on the order and get them right because this is a very nice place to have a quick drink and lunch but when your order gets messed up it just ruins the mood for everything. I was very disappointed in them because I have been there three times now and they still keep getting orders wrong.Dunkin, please step up and be consistent."

Blue Sky Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"The only cafe open on a Sunday. The food and latte were amazing. You can have either a breakfast sandwich or have a breakfast bowl that includes potatoes. My husband had the sandwich on ciabatta bread. Everything was perfect!"

Tim Hortons

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (25) • $

"This Tim Hortons off of Morse Rd, by Menards, is by far the Tim Hortons Bake Shop and Cafe with the friendliest staff, cleanest store, and fastest service I've been to in Columbus for awhile. The store is convenient to shopping and grocery locations, which makes it a strong coffee house selection. Katrice, the manager of the Northland store is always polite, personable, and provides wonderful service. She trains her staff to be just as responsible and polite. When making the new prize confection, the frozen hot chocolate, the chocolate protrudes above the rim of the cup. When we pointed out that the Morse Rd store was the only one we found that does that, Katrice told us that she was surprised and that all the stores are supposed to do that. There are three new frozen desserts for the summer; a frozen strawberry, vanilla and of course, the standard for frozen drinks, the frozen hot chocolate. Thanks to her, I discovered Tim Hortons even has a senior discount. (Sigh) But, it was nice that she volunteered that information after pulling up for my usual French vanilla Cappuccino at the drive-thru. Hey! Who knew?I've even used Tim Hortons app and my order was ready when I arrived. Very cool way to order if in a hurry."

Dunkin'

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (26)

"I go to the drive through here quite often and I don't understand all the bad reviews for this location. I've gotten a variety of regular and cold coffees, and I think I've been disappointed with my order once.As far as price, I think their prices are more than reasonable when compared to what Starbucks charges for their variety of coffees. Plus, they taste 10 times better, in my opinion.I do question the Baskin-Robbins being at this location, as the ice cream selection is very small.Overall, I think it's a good coffee drive through in a fairly busy location. They're not going to have perfect orders every single time given the traffic this location has almost every morning."

Dunkin'

★★★★☆ 4 (5)

"Review update: Last review was 10-11 months ago. I am definitely a regular here now. I much prefer to it over Starbucks. Its cheaper. Its closer. It tastes better. The drive-thru usually takes less time to get thru than Starbucks and the staff at this location is friendly. They have had a at least two, maybe three, major staff changes since my very first review. The staff reorganization seems to finally leave this location with solid, friendly employees that do a great job at moving you thru the line but still make you feel valued as a customer. I rarely go in. I am normally flying thru the drive thru lane as despite a constant line, the line here moves quick. Do not let a line deter you. They have three windows and when it's busy they usually utilize each one- which makes it move fast. The inside vibe is like every other Dunkin. The fuchsia door-handle in the shape of a D. Long counter with donuts, croissants long johns, muffins. Etc...Things we like:Try their maple bacon egg sandwich (if you like maple). Its not overly maplely and it is not messy like Wendy's. Comes on a croissant. If you order extra bacon it's extra good. LolWe seem to order the nitro cold brew lot, we add caramel. Yum. The refreshers are excellent. The mango one is better than the strawberry and the kiwi watermelon they have only in the warm months... warning -- the color of the kiwi watermelon is a gross green. They should have made it pink. (But probably didnt due to the strawberry one is pink) Still it is delicious, it tastes like a watermelon jolly rancher. Their rewards program is better than starbucks and you get free things faster -plus monthly offers! Add their drink prices are much cheaper than starbucks... When employees just need to push a few buttons to make your latte, it shouldn't ever be 8 dollars. Ever. You wont find that type of pricing at Dunkin'Oh... try their multi grain bagel... its the only one in the city with this texture and I swear they have the best cream cheese. I feel like they put a tiny bit of sugar in it."

"Well staffed for a Sunday morning, but staff are still sorting out technology. They missed a sandwich on our dine in order, yes it was modified (no cheese) but still. It took 2 people to finally get me the sandwich And by then my family had already scarfed down their donuts.Nitro cold brew is on par with Starbucks at $3.99 for a medium. They run all the specialty coffees as well, frozen, iced, hot, all the creamers and toppings. The usual.Doughnuts are doughnuts, nice standard variety both yeast and cake doughnuts. Specialty ones run $1.89-$2, regular are $1. They have doughnut holes as well singles and bundles (like timbits).We will be back, just. It often."

Tim Hortons

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (10)

"Based upon my first visit to this new Tim Hortons I would have to give this location a two star rating. The facility itself was very clean and nice amenities, but the food experience just didn't cut it.I ordered the combo meal of turkey sausage with egg white and cheese on an English muffin and a cup of coffee. With the combo you get your choice of a cookie, doughnut, or a hash brown patty. The turkey breakfast sandwich was not good at all, the English muffin was not even toasted and the egg white was way over cooked and dry and the cheese was still sort of cold. The sandwich itself was not hot, it was not even warm. I will give this place another try on another visit since I have not had any of their other sandwiches and hopefully be able to upgrade their rating at that time.As a sidenote, this Tim Hortons is where the old Jolly's root beer stand used to be.Review #53 03/21/17"

"I was so excited about this location, until I went. It was nice & new & so cute inside. But the worker was talking on the phone the WHOLE time & not listening or understanding us. We had to repeat ourselves many of times & we were getting things we didn't order & he'd have to fix the order. It was so odd. Like who are you talking to? I got the double cream stuffed Oreo cone. It was a chocolate cone with marshmallow syrup on the inside, Oreo ice cream, whip cream & Oreo bits on top. He was very forgetful & probably won't be back."

"I am so glad they finally put a Dunkin closer to me. I had a great time atthe grand opening on East Broad St Whitehall. Of course I was #1 in line to win coffee for a year. I will be in coffee heaven for a whole year. The service was great and the coffee was good. The store really went all out for the opening, they had a stilt walker, cheerleaders and of course the donut mascot. The inside is well lit, spacious and organized. All the donuts looked really fresh and delicious."
