Varsity Donuts

What an adorable shop! The selection is plentiful and they have so many cute options. The person helping me was very friendly and patient while I decided what to get. I'm sure they're very busy at peak times but early afternoon there was still lots of available selection and no wait.

I was super impressed with the donuts here so spongy and light with a bunch of great flavors to pick from i chose red velvet and blueberry and both were delicious. I wish they were closer to Chicago lol but I guess I'll have to settle for coming here whenever Im in town visiting family:)

I stopped in the other day while in town on business and tried the Scouts Honor and Strawberry Opal donuts. Scouts Honor was good and the strawberry was just okay. It was later in the day so there was a small selections of donuts to choose from and they were a bit dry from sitting out (which is to be somewhat expected). The woman working was so pleasant and friendly and had wonderful customer service. I did however notice a lot of flys in the store which could be out of the norm for them and it is still nice outside but it seemed like there was a bunch flying around and by some of the donuts. It did throw me off a little.

This place seems to have a large following in Manhattan. I liked the vintage decor and friendly staff. They had a decent variety of donuts to choose from. As for the donuts they were too sweet for my liking and didn't have much definitive flavors on the dounuts.

If you know, you know...Varisty is a must visit when in Manhattan! The donuts are delicious and unique, and the vibes at Varsity are distinctly Manhattan. There's plenty of seating inside to enjoy donuts with family and friends, or take them to go. Their merch is very cute as well - t-shirts, stickers, and more. My favorites are the opals - the blueberry is to die for, in my opinion, but they are all good! There's a wide variety of options to fit everyone's tastes. Right on the edge of Aggieville, you can stop in first thing in the morning, but be prepared to wait. I prefer to go later in the day - there's still a good selection, and they will be stay fresh until the next morning (though they make delicious snacks are a night in the 'Ville, too...)

Blueberry Opal...10/10 that's the only donut I come here for but I know they have a bunch of other yummy options! Depending on what time you go if it's later in the evening the donuts are BOGO.

Dry. Dense. Disappointing. Day-old. Donuts. Shoot! I really wanted to leave a good review here. Maybe my expectations were too high?! Sadly, this place isn't even as good as the grocery store donuts we have out west. Unfortunately until this very moment I didn't realize how good the donuts are where I live out west. Wow! What a difference! If you want light fluffy soft tasty melt-in-your mouth fresh donuts go west folks. Go west. If you want dry donuts and an old rickety rental bike this appears to be the place.

Great donut! It's also hard to beat their buy one get one free at 6:00. Their cinnamon twist was really good and comparable to my favorite donut shop back home.

I was in Manhattan visiting my best friend and she was been wanting to try this place. There is a LOT of construction in this area which made driving to and parking kind of a pain, but I know it isn't their fault so I'm not taking any stars off for that. This place is really cute inside and they kept a lot of the original features of what was once Palace Drug Store (including the hand-laid tile floor which is around 90 years old!). I love when newer businesses are able to keep original features. Now, on to Varsity Donuts itself: We walked in and it was completely empty as it was about 10:30 on a Friday and campus was pretty empty. The girl are the counter greeted us and was very nice. We immediately went to their merch wall as you first walk in which has lots of cute doughnut-branded shirts, stickers, cups, and buttons. We then walked over to the doughnuts and many of them looked good - flavor wise. I got the chocolate bar, the red velvet doughnut, and milk. My bestie got the Maple bacon bar and the K-Stater with milk. I think everything all together was under $14. We sat inside which was great. The regular doughnuts are $1ish and the bars are $2ish and the bars are massive! Texture and flavor wise, I was very happy with the yeast and the cake doughnut. Not greasy, dense, or dry and all of the flavors paired well together without being overwhelming. Sometimes with cream cheese frosting, people can lean towards the "too bitter" realm which I know some people enjoy to offset the sweet factor, but I feel like with the Red Velvet doughnut - they did well going mildly sweet for both the doughnut and the frosting. My bestie loved hers are well. I did try a bit of the maple frosting and it was really nice and didn't have that kind of fake flavor that some give off. Overall, would definitely recommend and come back.

The service was terrible! The young lady who took our order was not friendly nor helpful. However, the donuts were delicious!
