Never ever disappointed by Lil Donut Factory! Donuts are always delicious and the staff is always beyond pleasant and helpful. Unassuming location attached to one side of a gas station but easy to get in and out. The Apple fritter is a personal favorite. read more

There no big flashy sign anywhere to tell you "Here we are!" So try not to miss this one. We walked in around 10:15am and I was concerned we may be too late to get a good selection bc I've read plenty of reviews saying they sell out daily and to get there early. 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. read more

Lil Donut Factory - Yummy donut goodness. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Good customer service. The doughnuts were super popular. I called in the order & items were ready as soon as I got there. Nicely done.

Back story: Several weeks ago I read an article that listed the top 10 donut places in Ohio. Since I travel Ohio for my job, I took note of them. Two weeks ago I was in Cleveland the donut place there was overplaced and the donut was not good. This is NOT the case for the Lil Donut Factory. They were actually 3rd on the list. Their glazed donut was only $1 and was pretty yummy. While taste is subjective and so are preferences. I gave them a 4 out 5. read more

This has to ne the friendliest doughnut shop I have ever visited! And they have a great variety of doughnuts to choose from at surprisingly reasonable prices. The establishment is small, but their attitudes, flavors, and selection are big! read more

I come here in the morning sometimes after work and I always get a half dozen. The donuts are delicious and it's only $7 for a half dozen. The ladies and gentlemen working are always kind and helpful! The inside is just like any other donut shop it's always clean and the donut cases are always being stocked. I love how they have a huge variety of donuts there's a donut for everyone! I personally like the lemon donut, they are always so fresh and fluffy. read more

Love this lil place! This is the second time I've had donuts delivered to my workplace and was very pleased by the quality and variety. My favorite thing about this place is that when ordering, there is an option for peanut allergy and seeing as my coworker is super allergic, it gave me peace of mind that I could a share with her safely. read more

Best doughnuts in the city!! Always fresh, always the best ingredients. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing donuts! Everybody at work loves them. Great people too! Make sure to get there early before they sell out!

Was traveling from Michigan and tried these out and can easily say these our some of the best donuts out in the Midwest

My rating is more for their coffee than their donuts. Their donuts are definitely worth the trip, and considerably better than those found at chains like Tim Horton's, but their coffee is the best I have ever had. I switched to decaf a few years back, and have been disappointed in how decaf tastes at many restaurants. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered it here and was pleasantly surprised. Unlike other places, their decaf actually tastes like regular coffee. It's smooth, not bitter, and does not come across as overly acidic in flavor. The staff have always been pleasant to talk with, and efficient at getting you out the door with what you came in for. It is a little small inside, but it is a donut shop, and this seems to be par for the course. read more

Recently moved to the area and was craving some donuts so I decided to check them out after reading their reviews. When I first walked in, I noticed how small this shop is. Even though the space is small, they do limit the number of people inside the store to help with social distancing. Customer service was friendly and the donuts had great flavor. They even have pumpkin spiced donuts! The prices are reasonable too. I will definitely be coming back for more. read more

A few years back my brother moved to the area from PA for work. We came to visit and he took us to this little donut shop that he found out of the blue and I can still taste these donuts in my sleep, they were that good. I have stop back here again the next time I'm out that way. Awesome little shop. read more

Quaint little donut shop in a shopping strip. Not the best donuts I've had, but they are pretty good. I feel like they could have more filling in them. I got the custard, hubby got the long John and we grabbed a chocolate covered original. All we pretty decent. The filling in the long John is alittle sugary for me. More like cake icing than I like. He also ate a chocolate iced chocolate cake donut before I snapped a pic. He said that was was pretty good too. We stop in here maybe once or twice a year, when we drop our dog off at the groomers in the same plaza. read more

Lil Donut Factory - Chocolate long John, chocolate iced original and a chocolate iced custard. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Great place, get there early because they will close when they run out. They have good coffee and the Long Johns are my favorite. Be prepared for a sugar rush! The cream inside I can not imagine how much sugar is in there. Great place to go, they have a few stools to sit on to enjoy a donut. My limit is one because they are sooooo sweet and yummy. A local favorite for sure! read more

I have to come back earlier in the day to see if they can earn another star. Only had chocolate cake donuts with chocolate icing and sprinkles. Rest was yeast doughnuts. What is it with Ohioans taste in doughnuts??? When I grew south of here, got good cake donuts and that was all we served at Wilmington College's food service, but tastes have gone down hill if they have been accepting this Limited Selection of cake donuts. Small in size just like I like them. $5 for HALF Dozen and $10 for dozen shows that they usually sell them that way. I got 4 and one didn't make it to the car. I will say it is good donut. Might have one as evening snack. My search goes on for a cake donut with maple icing. Don't tell me I have to drive to Ann Arbor for those. OSU's town being beaten in donuts by that school up north's town ( that is how Michigan is called down here) Maybe it is up to me to DEMAND JUSTICE for all cake donuts eaters.!!! read more

Donuts on a Sunday morning..... Sunday Funday has begun!!! I'm shocked that i haven't been here sooner- - sweet delights abound. I couldn't decide so we got assorted dozen. Oh Em Gee!!! I love blueberry but none disappointed.... I may have to get a box for myself next.... read more

Lil Donut Factory - Assorted - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

I wasn't expecting this little bakery to be near a gas station. By the time I went they were almost out of donuts. I got a red velvet cake donut and an apple fritter. Even though there were limited options their donuts were good. I was a little put off by a fly landing on the donuts. There are some coffee options. Their hours are open until they sell out. It is kind of like Hot Chicken Takeover's business hours model. They are kind of off the beaten path which might be disappointing if someone goes and they are closed because of a sellout day. read more

Haven't been to LDF in a while, but I always enjoy them. It's a little store front in a gas station plaza that has a drive up window. The donuts are fresh and they close when the goods are sold out for the day (and they do). These aren't bougie, customizable, dipped while you wait donuts, just fresh, ready and really delicious. There is always a good selection of flavors and you can fill a box and enjoy them all with your family. They may have changed vendors, but I did not recommend the coffee, though! read more

Literally a lil donut factory. Came here around 10 am on a Saturday and they were already half sold out. Quick and easy selection of all types of donuts, yeast and cake, fancier and plain. My favorite was the maple bacon and hubs liked the cinnamon twist. They're probably not my favorite donuts I've ever had but they're pretty darn good. Workers were friendly enough. Would come back for the convenience and good donuts! read more

Came here a couple of times for donuts. Not my favorite and was expecting more, especially with signs saying they have the best donuts in Columbus. There are better donuts in Columbus. read more

Lil Donut factory is a slam dunk. Donuts are delicious and service is wonderful. They opened the drive thru for COVID and seem to have safe practices. They have a good mixture of cake and yeast style donuts. The cake donuts are often smaller and cost less than the large apple fritter or long john. Look out for seasonal flavors! Personal favorites are the red velvet and buckeye. They do run out so be sure to stop by early! read more

Lil Donut Factory - Donuts and... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Used to be our favorite spot for donuts. Last few times we tried them they just weren't that good. The glazed yeast donut was so dense it was like a cake donut. The cinnamon bun was so crunchy it was almost inedible. The long johns were good but definitely not long. Each was about 4 inches long. Maybe we have just caught them on an off day the last few times but they were not close to being as good as they used to be. We will probably give them another chance or two since they are the closest donut shop to us but if they are the same as the last few times we will drive a little further for better donuts. read more

Love the lil donut factory next to the gas station. I get donuts here almost every other week. The Apple fritters are my favorite! My son loves any donut with sprinkles lol. My wife loves the coffee as well. The staff is very nice and friendly here! You should definitely check it out if you haven't already! read more

The donuts were really good and the guy who helped us was very friendly. Would recommend

This is a little hidden gem! The donuts are good, the coffee is GREAT! The employees make the experience though; they're all so nice and upbeat! They gave my pups donut holes and even helped me take stuff to my car since I was carrying my daughter and needed another hand. The atmosphere inside is cool, like a coffee shop meets bakery meets music store. We will be back!! read more

The location is great as it's up the road from where we live, but aside from that, their donuts are amazing! Made fresh daily, you need to get there early as they tend to sell out! The coffee isn't bad either! read more

Love this place because I can get great coffee and my favorite donuts. Took a bag of coffee home this week and I'm glad I did. Their roasts are great. As for donuts, chocolate long John is my favorite, but everything is really good. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. read more

We were on our way to do some shopping in Hilliard and decided to try something new outside of Duck Donuts. This place came up close to where we were going so we decided to give it a whirl without reading many reviews. I was surprised to find it basically in a gas station (we almost missed it) but the people inside were super friendly. They were basically out of donuts when we got there so my review could be entirely off just because there wasn't much to pick from. We ordered a 1/2 dozen and got a variety. It was hard to tell what the different donuts were without any sort of labeling so we had to ask a couple times. They were busy so I felt bad taking more time than we probably could have. I didn't realize there was a coffee bar on the other side of the menu so in a panic to order quickly, I ordered just a black coffee. We sat at the bar on the other side and that's where I discovered they had some more options. The coffee was so hot that I couldn't drink it until after we left and then I realized I did not like it at all so that was a bummer. The donuts were good - nothing extra special. The inside was kind of a hot mess with books and some tables haphazardly placed about. Maybe that's the appeal, I'm not really sure. I don't think I'd go back but maybe we can just chalk it up to the fact that we got there later in the morning and there wasn't much left. Leaving three stars because of that unknown and because the people working were super friendly and that goes a long way with me. read more

Walked in and was astounded by the options. The staff was incredibly kind and patient as I tried to figure out what I wanted. As a heads up, they sell out quick! Try to get in early. read more

My fiance and I LOVE the Lil Donut Factory! It's a hidden gem of Hilliard. The shop is small and a little off the beaten path, but so worth stopping in. It's always packed on weekends and the donuts go fast (for good reason, because they're delicious!), so make sure to stop by early to snag your favorites! They also have some great coffee, including cold-brew. One of my favorite things about the Lil Donut Factory is their friendly and welcoming staff! They greet everyone who comes in with huge smiles and are incredibly supportive of other local businesses and events. I work at a college and stopped in one day to ask about leaving postcards for an upcoming event. The staff happily agreed to help advertise by handing out postcards to their customers. This alone made me a loyal customer! read more

The staff and coffee are great, but the 3 different donuts I tried were nothing worth mentioning in my opinion. From a few of the donut places I have tried, this was unfortunately my least favorite place. The first two times I came, they were sold out. Third time I grabbed 3, and I wasn't all that thrilled with the donuts I had. I would much rather drive further for better donuts. read more

These are really good donuts - just enough variety to be interesting, but still well stocked on classic flavors. The red velvet with cream cheese icing and the plain glazed were my favorites, but everything I've gotten there has been good. Bonus points for excellent coffee from the shop that shares the space as well. read more
