I've been eating these donuts almost my whole life. They've never missed the mark! Whenever I'm in the area, I have to get a few. The place is clean & hasn't changed decor wise for the most part. There are places to sit if you want to dine in. They have a large variety of donuts, and I always have to get the glazed and the apple fritter. There's free parking in the lot, and there's a drive through. Love: service (kind); glazed (classic, moist); jelly filled (just right jelly-to-donut ratio); apple fritter (one of if not the best in the game!) read more

Donuts were below average. The chocolate cake donut was okay. The service was terrific. The drive thru server tempered all 12 donuts we ordered and repeated it back to us - amazing memory! We ordered via the drive thru. Took longer than I expected but the server had an amazing memory! read more

We visited because our fresh-off-post son had a hankering for donuts. He chose this place because we coincidentally had "our" donut shop back home that shared the same name. There is a drive through but we went in. Only two lovely ladies working the counter. I think one was new. She was friendly but had a few questions for her coworker (who answered quickly as she flew around, helping others). They have a cool little conveyer belt like some of those big chains that we won't name. I got their cinnamon roll (the donut spiral, not the cakey kind), an apple fritter (because these are the best test of a donut shop), and I think it was called Bavarian cream? Like the Boston Cream Pie but without chocolate on top, I think? Anyway, they were good quality. I didn't get dryness from them, they had that good springy bite you want out of a good donut. The fritter had nice bits of apple in them but no pockets of fat from the frying that a lot of places get. Size wise they were a bit smaller than fritters I'm used to, but they quality was there. The new girl got me a coffee, but all of the pots were temporarily at the bottom. She couldn't quite get past maybe 3/4 of a cup and you could see her debate putting the lid on and pretending it was full when I called out that it was OK, I'll just wait a few mins for a fresh pot. She didn't know how to put the fresh pot on so the experienced lady helped a few more people before realizing for another customer that there was no coffee. She quickly made some more and the new girl told her I was still waiting as well so she got me a cup and bumped me up to the next size and was apologetic. They were both very sweet and I wasn't in a hurry, so I didn't mind, though I would have preferred to have it with the donuts to cut the sweet. As for the coffee--it was really good! I don't know the brand or roast they use, but it was smooth, flavorful and a perfect compliment to the sweets. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality. I drink mine black, so not sure how it takes to sweetener and cream. It's small, not the cleanest (has that hole in the wall vibe), but the product and people were great. Lots of locals, so I know it's a loved place. If I lived in Columbus, I'd be happy to return. And we might after AIT when we visit again. read more

Last 2 visits I have been there when they open at 0600 and they had no filled or special donuts. So you don't have all your donuts out for people to buy when you open. You pay for mix dozen and can't even get what they are suppose to have. The donuts have gotten smaller also. This place has slowly gone down hill for last several years especially with people that run the place. Last 6 visits have only been problems so I done. No more less for more money donuts........ read more

Golden Donut over Krispy Kreme ANYDAY!! They donuts melts in your mouth and veryyyy good!

Location on Manchester is great. Wynnton location is not as good. Manchester seems to always be fresh.

Oh my gosh! These donuts just melt in your mouth. They're served warm, 1st thing in the morning, (also throughout the day when you see the marquee is flashing hot donuts), and you'll be hard pressed to find another plain donut like it. read more

Amazing donuts! Quite possibly the best I've ever had . I've visited the drive thru twice lately, and never had a bad experience. The glazed donuts are perfect. They are similar to Krispy Kreme, but overall much more tasty. Also be sure to ask for hot donuts if they have any! This is one of the best donuts I've ever had, and I look forward to returning more in the future read more

YUMMY My husband and I were in Columbus visiting family a few weeks ago and we just had to stop in. The staff was super friendly and we LOVED the variety. Way better than your typical Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme donut. Also, it was cheaper than the other places as well. They were melt in your mouth good but also filling to the belly too. I would definitely recommend this donut shop to anyone looking for the perfect breakfast, dessert or just a snack! read more

Bury me in a casket filled with these donuts. So light. Someone said you can get better from Publix... need whatever they're on. Golden Donuts' pastries COULD NOT be any better. I'd attach a photo but they're GONE. I got donuts 15 minutes before close, knowing they were made hours and hours earlier, STILL AMAZINGz read more

I just want to be answered correctly; can I or can't I be served a maple donut without bacon or remnants of bacon grease? I have been told I can order the donut bacon free and now I am told I can't! Which is it?? For now I am sticking with sub par Dunkiin' Donuts because they have amazing maple frosted donuts. I am also disappointed with the flavor of Golden Donuts glazed donuts. After being shut down for Covid in what felt like ages, Golden Donuts re-opened! I was so excited but the taste is quite different than prior to the Covid closure. I am fairly certain my thoughts may change if/when I get a maple glazed. Don't disappoint me Golden Donuts. I do also want to interject though that the customer service is impeccable; with the exception of the young lady, she gave no name, that answered the phone on December 18, 2021 near closing time. read more

Online it says this place is 24 hours but they have a sign with "new store hours". According to this sign, they close at 11pm on Tuesday's but when I tried to come here for the first time at about 9pm on Tuesday, they were locking up and told me they were closed with no explanation, even when I pointed out that their sign says they close at 11...anyway, I still decided to give this place a chance and came again today. The donut was really good and the prices are reasonable. However, the cappuccino I ordered tasted awful, like watered down milk and sugar...it did not taste like a cappuccino at all. Also, many of the labels were incorrect in the donut display case so I couldn't be certain which ones had filling and which ones were regular without having to ask. read more

Good yet a bit pricey and they usually run out of certain items a after 1pm. So best recommendation is to go early. Great and friendly staff

Wow! What a treat. Tucked away in Columbus, Golden Donuts is the gold standard of donuts. Plus, the staff was kind and courteous! We bought a dozen donuts and they capped it off with an extra glazed donut for the road (a true "baker's dozen." read more

If you are running the drive thru, and you aren't wearing a mask while handling food and speaking closely with customers, then I cannot patronize your business. This is the time of Covid.. and of all places food service should have this mandate for the safety of our food. Not even a shield? Cmon guys. read more

Wow! Worth the drive from Benning to get them. Bought some for the boys' sleepover and we loved them. Friendly ladies gave me free "first timer" hot, soft, melt-in-your-mouth glazed donut upon entering - and another free one as part of a "Baker's Dozen" upon leaving. read more

I was looking for donut shops on yelp when i came across Golden Donuts. They had absolutely glowing reviews and tips so we decided to find it and try it out. We pulled up right in front of the donut shop. They must have a drive thru because cars were lined up on the right side of the shop and an employee was outside taking orders from them. Thats pretty cool and could come in handy when youre on the go and dont have time to park and walk in. We walked in though and were immediately greeted and told about their special which was a dozen glazes plus a mixed dozen for either $12 or $13 or 1 mixed dozen for about $8. It was just me and my husband so we opted for just a mixed dozen. They had a big variety of donuts to choose from and a # of cake donuts, which are my favorite, plain glazed for my hubs. It was taking a while for us to pick out our donuts when we were asked if itnwas our first time. I said yes. Snce we had picked out a few glazed already, she said she would get them from the back. She came out and handed each of us one of our glazed. It was warm, fresh, & fluffy and hit the spot. Warm donuts later into the morning like around 9-9:30am is definitely a treat! By the time we left, we had chosen some glazed, donut hole clusters, 3 different varieties of cake donuts, an ugly, and an apple fritter. We also got a bottled water and a coffee and i dont think we paid much over $10. So reasonable for the excellent speedy service and fresh, warm donuts. Go there now! read more

This is the best donut shop in town. Hands down better than Krispy Kreme or Dunkin. They are kind of far away from my parents but I usually stop by to grab a dozen when I'm in town. My dad has a sweet tooth so we bond over them for breakfast in the mornings. He reads his paper and I browse on the iPad. The people working here are very friendly and they are open late. They have a nice variety of glazed and cake donuts as well as some specialty ones. I usually get plain old glazed but occasionally I'll be all crazy and get some different ones in addition to the dozen glazed. Prices are reasonable compared to other donut places. They do have a drive through for those that are lazy like me sometimes. A word of warning - they may be friendly but their look of scorn tells me that they do not appreciate hearing an uncensored version of NIN's Closer blasting through the speakers as you make your purchase. read more

I usually find myself to settle down for the chain franchises like Krispy Kreme and Dunkin since they're everywhere, but Golden Donuts didn't disappoint! It is a bit of hole in the wall, but once you walk in you're immediately greeted at the counter with one of their fresh hot glazed doughnuts. They're doughnut selection isn't huge but it didn't bother me. The doughnuts are soft, fresh and aren't overwhelming sweet. They also have cinnamon rolls and other fancy doughnuts. For a half dozen I paid less than $5. The staff are really patient and friendly too. Oh and a huge plus..THEY'RE OPEN 24-HOURS. read more

Golden Donuts - Glazed w/ lemon filling, glazed cluster, coconut vanilla, rainbow sprinkles, cinnamon bun, & an ugly doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

One of the original business in Columbus. It's been around my entire life for good reason. The donuts are amazing and soft.

I read about this place here on Yelp so I told my husband we had to go try! So glad we went! Luckily, the light was on so we bought a dozen assorted. HEAVENLY! The icing could be a little lighter but other than that the doughnuts were so yummy! They have a drive-thru which I discovered is open 24 HOURS! The assortment isn't huge but the general favorites are available. One surprise.....buy a dozen and they make it a BAKER'S DOZEN! Super sweet, incredibly soft and the perfect pair with a glass of ice cold milk. read more
