    It's not a bad place at all. We got half a dozen doughnuts and highly enjoyed them. The customer service was excellent, and the vibe was pretty good. The doughnuts were soft, and the taste was great.

    Nice little donut and bagel shop in Hilliard. Donuts were good and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

    Yummmy stuff

    Headed out for a little snack for breakfast this morning at Daylight Donuts and Cafe in Hilliard. I ordered a Chocolate Cream Horn and a Raspberry filled donut. The business has a small area for sitting down and having coffee if you want. On to the donuts, the Chocolate Cream Horn had a nice sort of crispy texture and a good amount of creamy vanilla filling inside. Definitely not skimpy on the chocolate on top. Great tasting and filling. The Raspberry Donut had a very tasty filling inside, no skimping on the filling. A nice glaze on the outside. Definitely need to come back to try more.

    Everything bagel with cream cheese.

    Saturday morning time killer visit. This doughnut shop is located on the first floor of some new loft apartments in Hilliard. The featured doughnuts look great! The store was busy and happy with music playing at just right volume. I Got a plain coffee and everything bagel with cream cheese . The bagel looked like something I've gotten at the grocery store. It could be made there, but not sure. They offer door dash pickup . I know this because there was a driver there yammering into his speaker phone. Boy does that bug me. Steady flow of customers while I was there. Great! There is a big selection of coffees including Turkish coffee and the staff was exceedingly old fashioned polite.

    Stopped into here for Columbus Donut Week mid Corona-virus. Despite being only a little after 9, the donut cases were near-empty with some donuts completely sold out. (Which - hey, coronavirus, so lots of slack should be given.) The employee working the counter might have had a rough morning because they seemed really short-tempered and like I was bothering them. (I asked for a second item of a donut I'd already asked for, and his response was "You said you only wanted one" before staring at me). Despite the building feeling modern (and in a really cute apartment complex) and the donut's bright designs, I just didn't feel particularly welcome in the store. Donuts are a-okay, though. They weren't the best donuts I've had, but they definitely scratched the "sweet donut" itch I had. They weren't overly dry, were sweet when you ordered sweet-varieties, and looked pretty darn adorable (especially their Strawberry Sprinkles!).

    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.

    It's a cramped location. The donut shop has a lot of variety and options, but each left us a bit wanting. The Turkish coffee had a half inch of grounds in the bottom of the tiny cup. The chocolate glazed was dry. The bucket donut was crumbling. The Oreo had a very fine powder of cookies so much so that more ended up on my plate than on the donut. The vanilla crepe filled had limited filling. It was a fun visit, but not what was expected quality wise.

    My friend had passed by this place on her way to meet us at Starliner Diner, so we had to check it out after we finished our breakfast. It's located within the Landmark Lofts complex, so I'm sure a lot of their patrons are people who live here if not close by. We walked in a little before noon and there was a lady with her kid and another family eating here with their kids. Seemed like they had just finished a soccer game. A lot of families seem to come in here and I also saw some young adults grabbing donuts. There are lots of tables and booths to sit at. It's a nice room with tables that aren't super close to each other. The light fixtures are cool too! They've got food if you don't want donuts. Soups, salads, sandwiches. And of course, you can also get coffee. It doesn't seem to get loud in here. There was a nice flow of people leaving and going. Service was great! The girls working there were really nice. They've got a good variety of donuts although a lot of them looked like plain donuts with icing that had flavoring. They do have chocolate donuts and a lot of your standard types as well as a few creative flavors. Nothing too out there like a mocha donut or earl grey donut. It seemed like the selection was similar to Buckeye Donut. I got the Halloween party donut. It was a plain donut with vanilla icing that they colored black and pretzels. It looked like a spider. Cute! My other friends got a pumpkin donut, a glazed donut, and donut holes. The donut holes had a nice vanilla flavor that I enjoyed. The pumpkin donut was light on the pumpkin but nothing standout. Prices were cheap! For all of those donuts, it was under $4! Wow! They're light and airy donuts so not cakey at all. I definitely didn't feel bad eating it at all. You can find parking in a lot right next to it.

    Bacon (halal), Egg and Cheese bagel and Turkish coffee

    Great environment, great people, and of course the best Turkish coffee and donuts in Hilliard. Mazzim was very kind and informative. I'd definitely recommend for breakfast

    Amazing donuts!!!

    Some of the best Donuts I have had in a long time. The cherry fritter was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The long John's were amazing and full of good yummy cream. The bear claw broke apart easily for sharing. Will definitely be back

    This place is cute and has a great location right next to a Yabo's tacos and a soon to open Rita's. There's a decent amount of seating and plenty of windows. Honestly though it just reminded me of an off brand Tim Hortons with a smaller coffee collection. They had a variety of donuts, but nothing unique and the Bavarian cream I ordered was nothing to write home about.

    Bacon, Egg and Cheese
    Matt A.

    I was craving a breakfast sandwich and after looking up lots of places, I can across Daylight donuts and cafe. I got bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. I also got an Apple fritter cause it looked good. Sandwich was ok. The bagel was a little hard but the bacon was delicious. The Apple fritter was HUGE but also good. I'd go again to try different donuts but probably not for the breakfast sandwich again.

    Never had a buckeye donut that was better. The fresh cracked egg sandwiches on bagels are superior for sure.

Our tables were in a little sectioned off portion of the dining room, which made it feel more intimate. We really liked the placement of our party. Our server was sweet-she shared with us that it was her second week on the job. With that in mind, she did a great job. The timing of the food was rough with main courses coming out before the apps, some people's food coming out well after others had finished, etc. (kitchen problem, not a server issue) but the food was all tasty. There weren't very many chips with the chips and queso. We asked for more chips and they came out about 30 minutes later after the cheese had congealed so more timing issues. There were also lots of issues with the bills-the wrong meal being on the wrong bill (again, the server was new)-so the manager had to get involved to correct them. He was not friendly, nor was he apologetic. I thought he should have been more supportive of his brand new server and more involved with the party (the restaurant had less than 10 other tables filled, so he could have helped for sure). We will likely return and give it another shot.

That's Scramblers Hilliard. A friend put me on--and even hosted her baby shower there. Imagine a cross between Denny's and First Watch, with an added bonus: a back space event area you can snag for free (since they don't do reservations). Translation--get there early, chicas. For the meal, I skipped the all-you-can-eat griddle (tempting... maybe next time ). The Surf's Up ($12.99) went to the beau: tender, sustainably sourced shrimp sautéed and folded into hand-cracked scrambled eggs with cream cheese and dill. Served with hollandaise, bread, and your choice of a Scramblers side--it was a crowd-pleaser with a little doctoring up when we got home. I went with the Big Country ($13.79)--a layering of giant flaky biscuits, golden hash browns, two eggs, and sausage gravy. Except, I forgot the sausage gravy part might include, well... sausage. I picked it out, but even then, the dish landed kind of flat. Heavy on portions, light on flavor. I had to break out the ketchup, and honestly, it still needed heat. I get it--the flavor runway is probably tailored to their audience dun dun dun..., but still. What made the morning sparkle wasn't the food but the reason: celebrating love and longevity with Kenya G. and her soon-to-arrive little Elite-in-training. 15+ years together? That's the kind of milestone brunch is made for. YE Gurl says: Scramblers is more about community than culinary innovation, but sometimes that's exactly what you need.

It was a night and day difference…read more The place was well lit, neatly decorated, and everyone was friendly and had a sense of urgency that is not incredibly common lately. The food was good, and the servings were a good value for the price. The pancakes are some of the biggest I've seen. If you want brunch and don't want to deal with the 'vibe' at other brunch restaurants, this place is worth a visit. The one across town isn't bad, either.

The Biscuits for a Cause (2 with butter, jam and honey), Fried Pickles (chips with ranch), and Famous Fried Green Tomatoes (I don't normally like goat cheese, but these are served with stone-ground goat cheese grits) were all fabulous and I had plenty to take home after trying all. I had a glass of red blend wine with my entree, which was the Pan-Seared Salmon. My two chosen sides were the mashed potatoes and fried okra. The salmon was perfectly cooked; it was a great dish. I also got the Rosemary & Parmesan Breakfast Potatoes to go to have with my breakfast this morning. The service, food and atmosphere were all very enjoyable.
