Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing! Very filling and generous with either brisket or sausage. I've been going out of my way to stop and get one on the weekends. I also like their donuts. They are have more of a chew than your average donut, and are much more substantial. I'd suggest getting a few to share, because you're going to want to try more than just one of their unique flavors. read more

Yuuuum.... I initially went inside market hall to go to ninja city but they moved so I had to think of a backup plan and saw this place. I've had their donuts before and they're delicious so I thought I'd give the food a try. I got the sliced beef, two wings and an order of collard greens. The wings were good but I've had better as far as flavor goes but they were cooked well. The greens were delicious. Very melt in your mouth. I absolutely love the pickles and the slaw. And the sliced beef stole the show. It's so tender. It falls apart as you try to take it out the container. Overall, I spent about $28 and would definitely return again for the beef and greens read more

I came for the farmers market but stayed for lunch at this place. If you've been to Van Aken Market Hall you know the set up, order at the front and wait for your pager to buzz. What drew my eye initially were the donuts and then I looked at their full menu. I opted for a pulled pork sandwich which I hadn't had in ages that came with purple onions and a slaw on the sandwich. They were VERY generous with the pork and, naturally, it did fall out of the sandwich a bit but that's to be expected. I'm not sure what sort of bun they used but it withstood the moisture of the meat and toppings very well and didn't really disintegrate (always a plus). I ended up taking two donuts because I couldn't decide. The first was a double chocolate which I was looking forward to the most. I was a bit disappointed because I wasn't a fan of the buttercream filling, it wasn't as chocolate-y as I would've liked but that's a personal preference. The other was a strawberry hibiscus (?) and the flavor was lovely. The donuts themselves are a bit hefty so if you're expecting light and pillow-y, these are not the donuts for you. Overall great lunch that left me with leftover pulled pork for dinner. read more

Haute Donuts is now Haute Donuts and BBQ! That's right, donuts by morning and BBQ by night. I heard about this development and stopped in while at Van Aken. LOCATION: Haute Donuts and BBQ now has a new stand at Van Aken. The owners previously owned Gio's Pastaria which is now the new home of Haute. The stand is more central and spacious. The new stand has really trendy decor - chandelier and Tiffany-like pink lamps. It makes it standout big time and feels really nostalgic. It gives girl dinner vibes. FOOD: The menu is simple - meats, sandwiches, and sides. There's some creativity on this menu like cowgirl caviar (corn and beans). I experienced BBQ chicken thigh sandwich ($14). The sandwich comes with no sides but has a serving of kraut salad and pickles atop the sandwich. The chicken was perfectly tender but seriously lacked sauce. It was very lightly coated and the sandwich tasted dry. The bun seemed liked it was frozen and could use a little warming. Would I order this sandwich again? No, too dry and not a good value for $14. I'd explore the rest of the menu though and check out meats by pound and sides. Definitely tasting cowgirl caviar next time! SERVICE: The service was considerably better than during my previous visit. Employees were very friendly and patient during my interview questions. I plan to come back and try other menu options on some winter night when I'm craving comfort food! I like BBQ portion more than donuts although it could be cool if both were available at the same time. Or if there was some sweet donut BBQ sandwich! read more

My family in Cleveland has gotten donuts from Haute in the past that are quite tasty, but during our last visit we tried some of their bbq for the first time and it was AMAZING! My husband ordered the brisket, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich and wow it was incredibly tasty! The service was friendly and the ambiance was lively since we were in the Van Aken food hall. I can't wait for the next time we are in town to have it again! read more

Unique barbecue with eccentric sides like kimchi cucumber salad and a dill slaw that was tasty and came on the side with my pork belly burnt ends. The cauliflower burnt ends were pieces with ends torched and drenched in a sweet thin sauce. The pork belly burnt ends were fantastic!!! Not dry at all!!! Not all fat either but the perfect juicy amount. Given how thick and heavy abd not to my liking their donuts are, I am surprised at how delicious the bbq is! Will definitely have to try the other meats sometime soon. read more

It really won me this time. I decided to take another shot. It was well worth it. The brisket was great. Star if the show was the bacon rib. Very indulgent but not over the top. Great smoke on everything. Sausage link was perfect too. Loved the cucumber salad on side. Perfect balance for the smoked meats. read more

Nice quaint space. Delicious donut. Friendly staff. It was my first time at this location. It is my understanding that they have set hours, but when they are sold out, thats it. So glad I was able to try a donut. read more

One of the best spots I've had BBQ at and not just in Cleveland. The chopped beef brisket sandwich knocked my socks off. The balance of the tangy slaw and kraut with the peppery juicy beef just hit so well. The mac and cheese was top tier and not a basic bbq side. Service was excellent as well. I WILL be back for seconds. read more

I found this place from a Yelp event and couldn't stop thinking about it. My boyfriend and I decided to grab some donuts from here. We got a mix of specialty and regular donuts. The regular donuts were okay but oh boy oh boy, those 50 layers donuts were heaven. They were so flaky but not too buttery. One bit of it would make you eating more of it. I've to be careful with this place because I would the whole box of 50 layers donuts. They seem to have different flavor each day, so I would recommend checking their IG page for daily menu. read more

Stopped in for breakfast- and I must say their breakfast sandwiches (we had the sausage and brisket) were one of the best breakfast sandwich I have ever have. They were large and in charge!! We also had a couple of the donuts and loved each one as well! read more

I tried Haute Donuts for the first time on my trip to the Van Aken Market. The donut I picked was more like a cronut. I loved the texture but was not in love with the icing...I am picky! I would love to try a different donut on our next trip to the outskirts of Cleveland. read more

Loved the 100 layer (croissant type) Vanilla Cranberry and the Lemon Poppyseed donut. The beignet was ok. The key here is selecting the unique version. Leave the boilerplate options in the display case. Next time we're aiming at the unusual. read more

I have been to this place 3 times and my review is based on these experiences. The staff are friendly and nice. However the donuts and baked goods are not special. I've tried the vanilla,and chocolate donuts they are very typical donut shop style in flavor. Nothing wrong with them but also nothing gourmet. The rolls that I've had each time--I do take issue with these items are underbaked and that is apparent both in the chewy texture and visibly. All in all i feel the prices should reflect the quality. read more

Inside the Van Aken complex - that whole place is hoppin'! - with their fancy donuts now teamed with luscious barbecue meat offerings. They'll give you a meat sample, undoubtedly knowing you can't resist buying! Such delicious tender meat - we got our meat by itself (comes with slaw, pickle & bread) and of course sandwiches & sides of many types available. Very amiable counter attention, hectic but extremely friendly. You can find a table to eat or take out. Generous portion - not what you'd call a bargain but quality justifies the tab! read more

Had the lemon layered donut. Had a bit of a background greasy taste. So not to my liking. May try something else in the future or stick to Dunki' crème filled read more

So good! The best donuts made fresh everyday. Don't be late or they will be sold out. It's a Saturday morning habit at our house.

The BEST donuts I've ever had! I'm normally a picky eat but genuinely can't get enough of these!! The chocolate sprinkle one is my favorite! They are very light and fluffy, but are a little pricy unfortunately, otherwise I would buy out the stock everyday! The one lady I always see is always nice and quick:) read more

Haute Donuts fries and glazes every donut fresh each morning. Disregard any review that says otherwise. These donuts are delicious and creative and special. You can't find this kind of quality at a chain donut shop or even other local donut shops in Cleveland. read more

Amazing service and even better food! The owner is clearly passionate about her craft, and it pays off in the quality. A bunch of unique and delicious flavors too! read more

Haute may mean sophisticated, but it doesn't mean delicious. It's a high price for a donut with very little flavor. I had the Vanilla Bean Glazed, and it tasted like stale air. Would not go back. read more
