My brother brought home a box of these for the holidays, and it only took a few hours for all to disappear. While I can't attest for the standard yeasted donuts (though everyone seemed to love them), I can say that they make one of the best chocolate cake donuts I've had in my life. It was fresh and decadent. You definitely can't eat more than one in a sitting. I will for sure be asking for him to bring some more next time he comes home. My only warning is that they can get expensive real fast. read more

I had my order delivered. I wanted something sweet so donuts were a great choice but thought I should have something for dinner so I also ordered the gyro. The gyro was what you'd expect, but the meat didn't have a hint of warmth to it and was really salty. The donuts on the other hand...they were out of this world!!! I had the Buckeye donut of course and had ordered the apple spice donut. They didn't have the apple spice so they substituted an apple fritter which is more expensive for no additional cost. The Buckeye donut was slightly larger than my palm and the filling tasted just like the Buckeye candy! The apple fritter was the size of my hand if not bigger but light and airy with good flavors of cinnamon and apple including pieces of apple inside. read more

Buckeye Donuts - Dozen to go - Donuts Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Five years and countless orders later, it's time to update my review for this Columbus staple. At first I thought I would never order anything but donuts, but boy was I wrong. Over the years Buckeye Donuts has become my go-to for breakfast delivery. Yes, donuts are always included but breakfast sandwiches have also entered the chat. My go to is now an egg and cheese sandwich on an english muffin and a side order of tater tots. As for the donuts I tend to mix it up but my favorites are the apple fritter, bowtie, and cinnamon bun. I love that they are super consistent and always quick to arrive. Whether I'm having a lazy morning on my own, have friends in town, or anything in between I know I can always count on Buckeye Donuts to deliver. read more

Tried the Buckeye & blueberry + German chocolate donuts. Then, I had to try a BEC on a plain bagel. I love yeast donuts and thought the buckeye was fantastic. Also, the blueberry cake donut tasted like a yummy warm muffin. Great service & had an old school feel! read more

First time visiting the OSU campus, the first stop was Buckeye Donuts -- which seems to be an important part of the student/alumni experience! We ordered the Buckeye donut, the apple fritter and 2 types of lattes. Everything was fresh. Staff was friendly. And they were selling exclusive OSU hoodies that we had to snag. Even though I'm not from the area, and didn't attend school here, I could feel the nostalgia-- this place has an old school vibe and is very welcoming. read more

Good donuts, nice staff, fair prices! We stopped around noon on a Sunday and they still had a good selection in stock.

Best old fashion donuts around with aome small twists, their buckeye donut is a sweet treat if you like peanut butter n chocolate icing, all in all really good but on the more expensive side of the donut world! I go on special occasions, like Mondays, Tuesdays, Wed, Thurs and Fridays, sometimes on saturdays and sundays but only once a day! read more

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. read more

Came here to get 8 dozen pre-ordered regular donuts, tried quite a few of them. They're a bit too sweet but generally speaking, the flavors are quite good. The red velvet cake one was a bit dry but that was the only one that wasn't great. Tried bites of chocolate, crumble, pumpkin spice, and original donut. Really tasty! read more

An awesome late night spot! They are opened 24/7 and they have many donut flavors to choose from. The donuts are so soft, we had to buy a couple more donuts to take home! We weren't able to try the breakfast menu since they stop serving breakfast after 10pm, but we got a Philly cheesesteak gyro instead. It hit the spot after a concert! read more

Buckeye Donuts - Pumpkin Spice Donut | German Chocolate Donut | Oreo Donut - Donuts Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This was a random stop after our concert in Columbus for randomly cancelled last minute. A friend mentioned we should stop here before heading home since we already had dinner. The guy working the counter was great. He was friendly and patient while we decided on what to get. I can't eat anything in here (food allergies) so I got some donuts for my husband and kids. I grabbed a delicious looking Buckeye Donut for my son. He thought it was delicious. I grabbed two chocolate frosted with sprinkles for my husband and daughter. My husband didn't love it because he prefers yeast donuts and this was cake. My daughter loved it a lot. She thought it was one of the better Chocolate Frosted donuts she's had. It has a nice location on the Ohio State campus so worth a stop if you are around. They also offer other food and drinks options then just donuts. Breakfast is also served all day. read more

While attending a conference in Columbus, I stumbled upon Buckeye Donuts downtown (which is inside the large food market), and it was exactly the sweet pick-me-up I needed! The donuts were fresh, soft, and bursting with flavor. I went with the classic Buckeye donut, and it did not disappoint--it was the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter. The shop had a great local vibe, with quick service and a cozy atmosphere. Whether you're just passing through or live nearby, this spot is a must-visit for donut lovers! read more

The best. A classic for a reason! Decades of OSU students can't be wrong. Open 24/7, so there literally isn't a wrong time to stop in.

There's no "hot fresh" light here but they are open 24 hours. This location typically has all the flavor options available unlike their South side store. I will say the cake options are dry, I haven't tried a cake flavor that wasn't try which is disappointing. The maple frosting on the Long John wasn't my favorite either. read more

Was told I had to stop by during my trip to Columbus! Seems like this was the place for Ohio State students to grab food after a night out (we came on a Friday night), so not the calmest scene that's for sure. PARKING: We parked at the McDonalds next to it WHAT WE ORDERED: Cronut Blueberry donut Red velvet donut Buckeye donut Crumb cake donut THE DONUTS: Maybe I'm biased because I come from Southern California where we have a huge mom-and-pop donut culture, but everything kinda just tasted like what I would expect these donuts to taste like. The buckeye donut particularly was what you'd expect: a chocolate donut with a glob of peanut butter. However, everything was still a solid choice and tasted delicious. HIGHLY recommend the croissant cronut thought. Unlike other places, this wasn't dry and was actually pretty yummy! SERVICE: For as crowded as it was, service was as excellent as it could be. The gentleman at the counter gave us recommendations since it was our first time, and we were in and out pretty quickly. BOTTOM LINE: I see why it's a college favorite. It won't be a gourmet mind-blowing experience, but worth a visit if you're a visitor. read more

Best donuts in town. Opened by a Greek owner named George and his family. The original owner has now passed and the shop is run by his son. Same recipe since. I highly recommend you stop by and give it a shot. Try a Cronut. (Fried croissant) read more

Not the best apple fritter but it'll do if you need a fix. I'll try another donut next time.

You ever go to Buckeye Donuts spontaneously to illustrate to someone the difference between a yeast and cake doughnut? And do you spell it "donut" or "doughnut?" Bc I'm not European but I prefer "doughnut." Appearances-wise, Buckeye Donuts is very jank like the sign is broken and spells something like "buck nut" or something equally erudite. The interior is grungy and I have never seen anyone actually eat inside the establishment or try anything besides the doughnuts. But service is generally efficient and nice so it's a good late-night pit stop. Additionally, the doughnuts they produce are vastly superior to Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme is shit. The doughnuts at Buckeye Donuts have a chew to them and chew is essential!! Something I noted this time through was that the buckeye donut (signature product) was only covered with peanut butter and not stuffed like I thought it usually was...?...hmm... I prefer a yeast doughnut btw read more

Great staff and great donuts! I can't wait to go back for the cronut and to try the breakfast sandwiches!

Their some honest hard workers that makes great donuts their staff is friendly very helpful their great for a community

We went here while visiting for the Arnold. Few things I loved about this spot. The donuts yes. Were the best I've had but still a SOLID cake donut and would not be disappointed in the slightest if this was my local spot 1.) The staff was super friendly. They recognized some of my friends from social media and the owner posted us all on the Instagram 2.) 24 fucking 7 baby. THATS HOW DONUT SHOPS SHOULD BE. Inside is tight so if it's packed you're gonna more than likely eat it right outside. It was giving major college vibes (obviously) and I was all here for it read more

Still my favorite chocolate custard donut I've had anywhere. Also, one of the best places on campus for cheap late night eats. I spent many nights grabbing cheese fries baskets at 2am and people watching. Additionally, they are really dedicated to their 24/7 open hours. I remember several hours ago we had a wind storm that knocked out power to most of Columbus - including Buckeye Donuts. They stayed open with candles until they ran out of food. Love this place! read more

Every travel guide says that Buckeye Donuts is a must visit and that is correct. I love that it's 24 hours, it's comforting knowing that fresh donuts are available at all hours. I came by one Thursday morning and it wasn't very busy (perhaps I beat the pre-class crowd!). When you walk in, they have a big display case with a huge variety of donuts, from the standard to the more creative. I didn't indulge in the Buckeye Donut, but got a glazed, a cinnamon bun, and a coconut cake. I devoured them immediately! They were so fresh and light and sweet they hit the spot. Next time in town I'd like to try their full menu. read more

If you're looking for a 50s-diner-style donut experience, and love all things buckeye, or are a sucker for reese's (or anything chocolate-peanutbutter, for you uncultured heathens), then Buckeye Donuts is the place for you. Although I can't speak to many other locations, between this and the Merion Village location, I by far recommend the University District location, as it has indoor seating and the staff are more friendly. Either way: if you want a side of donut to go with your glob of peanut butter, then be my guest and make your way to Buckeye for the treat of a lifetime. read more

This rating is NOT for the service it was friendly. I know this is a cbus staple. Why is completely lost on me. We got a dozen and a cronut. Every single donut was dry and hard. I feel like the donuts from the grocery store Are fresher. We made a special trip in to try these and super let down. The cronut was good. The rest me and my husband each had a bite of and they went in the trash. read more

I was in the neighborhood visiting my sons at OSU, & of course I couldn't resist stopping in for some donuts at the iconic Buckeye Donuts. This place might not be fancy, but their donuts sure are! Ok, maybe fancy isn't the right word but they're damn good. If you're looking for a proper donut and have a sweet tooth, this is one of the best places to satisfy it on High. They were running a Buy 4, get 1 Free so of course, that's what I got. And you can't ever go wrong with getting pumpkin spice when it's in season. Their red velvet has always been a must for us too. And since I love a good yeast donut, I chose the humble simple glazed. I'm also a sucker for custard, especially when paired with chocolate frosting - so I guess I HAD to get 2 of those. It took me exactly 10mins to eat 2 before even driving off!! The rest lasted till the next day, though honestly they're best the day you buy them of course. read more
