Dockside Donuts

New location in Buckeye Lake! I went late in the day so there were only a few donuts left but they were still fresh and chocolatey! I tried the chicken salad and it was tasty. I am not a big fan of onions but the salad was still very good. The iced coffee was made fresh and the service was quick. We sat in the dining space and chatted with the owner behind the counter. The donuts are baked and not fried! The ice machine wears a tiara! How fun! We will be back when we are in the area.

You'll find Dockside Donuts located inside Karen's Bakery & Custom Cakes, and available only on Friday and Saturday mornings between6 and 11 a.m. I was told that they're a Buckeye Lake favorite among locals.You'll find mostly yeasted donuts, all glazed with different flavors and colors, like strawberry, chocolate and vanilla. When I visited, there was mostly round donuts, but there were a few long johns, as well as donut holes.Dockside Donuts also offers speciality donuts, like the Yacht Club Southern Banana, which is a long john filled with banana pudding and topped with whipped cream and vanilla wafers. Or the Maple Bacon, which is a long john with maple frosting and bacon sprinkles. These special donuts cost a little more that the other regular donuts. When I visited on a Saturday, most of the display case at Karen's Bakery was taken up by donuts, but there were also a few other non-donut goodies available, like raspberry cream chese danish and cream puffs.

I walked in to take a look at the baked goods and had a great experience. They had a variety of treats, including sugar, cookies, brownies, cakes, and other sweet confections. The white chocolate cranberry cookie was phenomenal. Customer service was great also. Highly recommend.
