    Where has this donut place been all my life!! I came across Destination Donuts Instagram by chance and saw that they change their donut flavors daily. I was immediately intrigued and knew I had to stop in soon. I grabbed their Butterscotch & Smoked Sea Salt donut and their Dueling Vanilla that is available daily. Let's get into the size??? These donuts are massive compared to the ones I usually get elsewhere. I'd like to think the price reflects the size and the soft airy texture of the donut. The sea salt worked well with the butterscotch flavor and the Dueling Vanilla wasn't too sweet. Excited to try their other flavors in the future.

    I tried these donuts for the first time in 2024 and I could not stop thinking about them. I am vegan so it isn't easy to find donuts at most places but destination donuts has so many vegan options. It is always such a treat when I get them and they taste amazing. I've went in person once and the seating is a bit limited with street parking but that's to be expected in Clintonville. I like to stop in and take them to go but there definitely is some seating for people that prefer to stay in. The service is great and the ship is super cute. I highly recommend it as it is a great business to support and is delicious for everyone but I definitely recommend to other vegans that are craving a good donut.

    It had been on my list to try and glad to make a trip out around the area. Got myself the Red Raspberry Rhubarb and Sugar 'Lit Bits. I am not a big icing fan and love this have the just right amount of icing on the donut. Slightly sweet with a hint of sourness. Can't forget that Sugar 'Lit Bits. It's such a perfect munchy and I just keep pulling one out from the bag. Their flavors line up usually rotate daily and note that their donuts are vegan friendly as well.

    These donuts looked really good, but they tasted okay. I wasn't too impressed with the flavors.. I wish they were more bold and balanced, and that they would've made it worth the carbs. These donuts tasted like sugar without much flavor. I also wish they had both yeast and cake donuts as options. Only yeast donuts here.

    I've been a long time fan and customer of destination donuts even when they were just a small stand at North Market! Now they've got a cute small location with some indoor seating for a nice snack. I'm not vegan and didn't realize these donuts were vegan! Even so, these are my favorite donuts in Ohio because of their soft chewy texture (yeast donuts as opposed to cake donuts) and fun flavors! I will say though the donuts are super expensive and they really aren't generous to customers with their rewards. I was 25 cents short of another stamp on my rewards card and they have never rounded up even though you're paying nearly 4 dollars per donut (you get a stamp for every 5 dollars you spend). They post their flavors of the day on their Instagram so you can decide if it's worth the visit before going out. Their lemon blueberry donut is one of my favorites! I will say they tried to do a Thai tea donut and missed the mark, didn't have enough flavor which I've noticed is a trend in many non Asian places in Columbus attempting an Asian inspired version of their dishes. Would be interested in trying the ube flavor to see how it came out!

    Yummy vegan donut = happy girl !

    My daughter has an egg allergy which makes breakfasts out difficult. Before a recent Ohio State game we made reservations for an on-campus buffet breakfast with few egg free options, so I promised her a donut. Little did I know how very difficult it would be to find a vegan donut!! We live in Cincinnati and every place that touts their vegan donuts were sold out or not making them. Destination Donuts absolutely saved the day. We stopped in to this adorable, clean shop early on game day and I got 6 amazing vegan donuts. The staff were kind, helpful and efficient. My daughter was ecstatic and everyone who tried the donuts were surprised by how yummy they were! Thank you Destination Donuts!!

    I just love this place so much. I come in quite often, but today I was picking up donuts for work, and asked for specific packaging in multiple boxes to keep the vegan donuts separate, and Heather, the owner, just helped me out with nothing but patience and a smile on her face. I really appreciate that they moved to the neighborhood and continue to be a great spot for a sugar fix.

    The dueling vanilla donut.
    Rodney W.

    I wandered into the neat little storefront five minutes before closing so they didn't have many choices. There was five chocolate frosted potato stick, one dueling vanilla, or two fruity pebbles glazed. I cleaned them out of the latter two varieties for $9. The pebbles were soo good and I liked the vanilla too. The nifty atmosphere was exactly what you'd expect from a working bakery and the lady working the counter was friendly.

    08/24/24 "I am not Vegan" but wanted to try and support. I went after work around 12:30pm. The only doughnuts that they had left were "Maple nut, Key Line and Cinnamon Sugar Bites. I Missed out on the Raspberry Hibiscus and Ube. "The Farmers Market customers toke everything, lol." My friend Loved her "Maple Nut" I love that I was asked if we had any nut allergies. Very friendly staff. I will return early next time. I am glad they had a sell out. 10/10

    Filled with creme. Yes please!

    These are a must every time I step foot in the North Market. I first experienced Destination Donuts because they have vegan options, and quickly became a fan. Whether it is one of their vegan or regular donuts the taste is incredible. They are big and doughy. Sometimes it is a bit much, but I get them anyway because of the flavor. Their hibiscus, and smoked butterscotch donuts are two of my favorites. They validate your parking ticket, and have a rewards program. Don't forget to get these stamped each time. You don't want to miss out on your rewards points because you will find yourself going back often when you are in the downtown area.

    Destination Donuts are the best donuts in town! If you like yeasty donuts, you need to try them. They don't go overboard on flavors and the ones they do, they do them well. They occasionally have a seasonal flavor that is usually delicious. They also have vegan optione!

    See how large the donuts are

    Was hoping that I found that cak donut shop, but no. ONLY had cake donut holes. (How can you do holes without donuts?? Aren't the holes the dough you cut out to make the donut??) Rest of stock was very large yeast donuts. So large, you don't even want to know the calorie count or maybe the price. The cake donut holes was $2 each. You could get 2 Dom's donuts for that price. The one I had was delicious and a good size. Maple nut flavor.

    I think this was called the maple nut donut
    Saphace A.

    I've had Destination Donuts on multiple occasions. They also sell them at Luck Bros coffee shop. Makes sense, since they sell their coffee at this location! My friend really wanted to try it because she had never had it before. The Buckeye Donut is the most popular, but she ended up choosing the maple donut which had nuts crumbled on top. It was fresh so it didn't taste as dense as usual. (I'm guessing I've never had it fresh.) Its still a very bread-y or doughy type of texture. The icing has most of the flavor, but the rest of it is just the dough... I've always split it when I've had it. It's about $3 per donut which is a little pricey but these are huge! Still, I wish they would dip the whole donut in icing or at least infuse it. It's just not flavorful enough for me to merit purchasing it.

    How is their coffee. We want to eat there tomorrow but want coffee too. Although we are still trying this place.?

    Destination dinner is located inside the North Market. There's is a Stauf's coffee just a couple vendors down that should suit any coffee need.

I have never in my numerous trips around the sun. so many I no longer have hair and AJ Hawk was a freshman as I a senior. This donut made it from CBus to Sylvania, Ohio. Right next to the soon to be mural capital of the world...Toledo. Now this donut was left and forgotten at two different households.

The bacon, whole well cooked pieces, still crispy. The cream inside. A surprise. I was not expecting. It too was like it had just been shoved inside the soft donut canoe. Exquisite. You Buckeye donuts, along with Gabby, Emmie and the third driver of this magnificent pastry art piece. Are absolutely amazing.

    New location, same great service and taste!…read more I have tried donuts in many states and countries and I have yet to find one better than here. Well, if I'm honest there was this Amish stand at a farmers market in Central PA that had outstanding donuts, but they only sold them a few times a year and I have no idea how to find them! This trip, I got the big boy donut, a white icing cake donut, and a pretzel. The big boy donut is a huge glazed donut as big as your head. That's right, you can hold it up to your head and it will be just as large!!! This time, however, they put a twist on them and added icing to a few. I know, sweet on top of a sweet sugary donut seems like overkill, and it was. But come on, anyone willing to eat a donut as big as his head has no problem with something super duper sweet! The other items were equally good, and I liked their new larger location. They even added a few new items since I was last there like donut holes/bites. This place continues to reign as the donut king in my estimation, and the fact that they FINALLY accept credit cards now is a huge win.

    I went on a weekday morning so there wasn't a large crowd. Boy, that entrance lane to their parking…read morelot is full of patched areas! Anyway, the number system works well, gives time to look around. They had a nice variety and even packaged bread and cookies. The pack of 10 cookies for $9.50 didn't appeal to me so I stuck with donuts. The donuts were delicious. I paid a little over $11 for 5 donuts. The croissant donut was outstanding. Really, all 5 were fresh and well worth the trip and the price. I will definitely return for more.

It's a small shop by a gas station. We were greeted as soon as we walked in the door and they were ready to take our order before we were ready to give it. I asked about a couple of the varieties in the display counter and those answers helped me make my selections. We ended up with 6 different varieties. A maple cream stick, donut stick, apple fritter, raspberry jelly filled, a buckeye donut (for my hubby) and a chocolate espresso donut (for me). The price was quite reasonable and the people working were very friendly. I also ended up getting a bag of coffee beans after talking with our server and getting her recommendations. She even gave me a sample of one of them they had brewed. We paid for our items and headed out. Several people came while we were there. In fact our friends missed getting to try the espresso donut because someone's that jumped in between us bought the last of them. After trying it when we got to our car I can see why! DELICIOUS!! Would go back for it alone. My husband didn't even wait until we got to the car to try his Buckeye donut and he loved it. Their apple fritter was better than one I bought earlier that morning from a bakery. I didn't think the raspberry jelly filled had nearly enough filling. It easily needed tripled. I say that as someone who worked for three years in a bakery and filled donuts. All in all this was a great stop and if we're in the area again we would definitely drop by to see what's being served.

We got cannolis and the B&W but I will definitely be back to try more things. The cookie was out of this world and just like from my favorite Manhattan corner deli. The cannolis are authentically old school, with the filling not super sweet for American tastes but rather attuned to an Italian palate. So fresh and good!
