The cronuts are the best, flakey , crunchy and sweet. Like a deep fried, sweet country biscuit! There's a little dollop of cream or icing on the top. I wish I could get a whole donut covered with that nectar. All of their Donuts are awesome, capitalize for the importance of their delicious products. read more

Okay I have been following them in Instagram for way too long and had the chance to drive down. I really wanted some cronuts, but sadly they were sold out of them by the time I had arrived. I bought a box of yummy and very tasty donuts. And can't wait to come back. I mean for my box of 6 donuts at $11 I feel like I got a great price. The place was super clean and I really liked to look of this cozy location. I can't wait to come back again. read more

Awesome service, amazing doughnuts, and the cleanest of the establishment did not go unnoticed!

This is a cute little bakery with a mini gaming area. They have a good variety of pastries to choose from. The croissant doughnut is fantastic! read more

Everything is great at this establishment. Family owned & flavors are amazing! Cronuts are SO delicious!

Sometimes, you just want a really good doughnut. A little treat to satisfy the ol' sweet tooth. Does this spot deliver that? Yes, and then some! So many ways to get your doughnut fix. I rolled into this spot with a couple co-workers to get some goodies for the road back to work. We were greeted right away by a very friendly employee (whose name I unfortunately forget, but she was awesome). The place itself it decently sized, with a few tables to sit down, but seems mostly carry out. They have a plethora of different doughnuts, cronuts (they sell out FAST), cookies, pies, danishes, and more. Need a beverage to go with your baked goods? They've got you covered there too with coffee, milk, soda, and water. I opted for a custard-filled doughnut (kinda like a Boston cream, but even better) and a bottle of milk. The doughnut was fantastic! Light and fluffy with rich and decadent custard inside. It really hit the spot! Next time I'm in the area, I may be tempted to stop by again for another treat. I'll have to some extra cardio afterwards, but it'll totally be worth it. I'll likely take my lady too. read more

Besides Servatti's, this is the best bakery on the East side. There's just so many good choices. They have seasonal items (fall - pumpkin spice crap), but my favorite is the cronuts. Service with a smile, and great speciality donuts. I definitely recommend this place! read more

The best customer service! We walked in an were instantly greeted and offered to pick a few donuts to sample. We sampled some and got a few. They are extremely friendly and the donuts are amazing 6/5 surpassing the max!! The customer service is in the best top 5 I have experienced and this is a MUST STOP!!! read more

I love me some donuts. I am super critical on donut shops and I plan time on vacations around being able to stop at a place like Voodoo Donuts. Love. Them. Marcella's has the BEST donuts I've had since...I don't even know when. Huge. Light. Airy. Sweet. Delicious. I can hardly wait to go back! And this recent California-transplant has never seen a donut shop with a drive-thru before. I'm smitten! read more

Best donuts I've ever had. So many to choose from. Don't walk-run!! The cronuts are probably my favorite

Five star service and taste! We are new to the neighborhood and stopped in to try a couple doughnuts my wife had her sights set on... well what started out as just a couple ended up as 7... this place has these things called cronuts which are ! The lady working was super helpful with making our selection and getting the best bang for our buck. All tasted great but our absolute favorites were the kettle cooked as well as the cronuts. We will be back for sure. Keep up the great work! We love that we moved to a place with a great neighborhood bakery! read more

My son got me about a dozen for my birthday They were amazing Probably the best glazed doughnut I've ever had read more

My favorite donuts! Although all of them are good, my favorites are the cronuts, the plain glazed, and the cream filled. I love the freshness and size of the donuts. This is the place to grab a dozen if you want to impress. read more

Let me be clear: I drive 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back to get these donuts. The cronut is unmatched. Thank me later. However, don't try to get one after 8a on a weekend though. Nevertheless every other donut I've tried is always fresh (yeast donuts melt in your mouth) and I always have amazing service. read more

The donuts here are always fresh and delicious. Being a small business, you often will see the owners working the counter, and their additional staff is always helpful and friendly. The shop is a fun place to enjoy a cup of coffee and a sandwich or a sweet treat. Would recommend highly for satisfying the sweet tooth in you. read more

Every time we have been to this location everything has been on point!! They have wonderful donuts and great coffee! The staff is pretty amazing too. read more

Best donuts in the East Side! Their variety and freshness is impossible to beat. If you are in the Eastgate area you are doing yourself a disservice is you don't stop and try some! read more

On the last donut place I hit up last Saturday, I went to another Marcella's Doughnuts to see if they were just as good as their nearby location. They had two cashier's there, one asking if I had been there before. After I said no, she went over a few of the donuts with me. I picked up a fruity pebbles donut, a cinnamon roll donut, and a cookies and cream cake donut. These are fairly sized donuts mind you, so you'll get what you pay for. The fruity pebbles were fresh on the donut. The cinnamon sugar on the donut was sweet and very delicious. The cookies and cream was my least favorite, but that isn't really bashing it as all three were very good and gave me a sugar rush. I will say I prefer their yeast donuts to their cakes, and you can get that same cookies and cream on a yeast donut as opposed to a cake if you want! I definitely hope I can take my friends to this place. The charm and donuts were top notch. read more

Love their croissant donuts! Love all the flavors. Their team is courteous, friendly and kind! I love the older woman at the Clough Pike location. Super sweet! read more

Once I experienced Marcella's, I was hooked. I tried Marcella's for the first time a while ago and now that my new job is close enough to Marcella's it's a hard fight not to go in and get some yummy donuts. I broke down and went in and got some donuts; my stomach was happy. I got a dozen; which includes original glazed, red velvet, fruity pebbles, chocolate cake, and a couple that were gone so fast I couldn't even remember which ones I got. Another bonus is that a dozen here isn't like other donut places. They give you a true bakers dozen of donuts. Which feels like you are getting a true bang for your buck. The staff is friendly and the inside has several seating options for you to sit and enjoy a yummy donut and a nice cup of coffee or milk. read more

I just love this place! Friendly and the donuts are amazing! They also offer a big donut for birthdays and I love that idea!

As I was searching for a local donut shop, I came across Marcella's Donuts and decided to stop by and see what craft donuts they have.. The establishment itself is clean and very nice. I was greeted by 2 nice ladies and they were friendly and courteous to help with what I wanted. I've gotten a 1/2 dozen glazed and 1/2 dozen of bLueberry donuts plus 2 maple glazed donuts along with some milk. The maple glazed was soo mouth watery and soo good! All fresh made! Reasonable price and well worth the donuts!! I'm definitely coming back for more! read more

Ordered and paid for a giant donut for my daughters sleep over birthday party earlier this week that I went to pick up today. It was not made as promised. Got my money back, but I've also got a bunch of disappointed kids at my house this morning. I overheard another conversation about an order for 240 donuts that were to be picked up this morning not getting made either. They really dropped the ball. read more

Outstanding doughnuts very fresh and tasty. Good selection and good customer service.

Marcella's offers a nice selection of pastries. They offer drinks if you want to eat there or you can get your order "to go". This is one of our usual stops along with "Your Dollar Store" (in the same strip). read more

Marcella's Doughnuts and Bakery - Donuts Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

After all the great ratings I thought I would give them a try. Walked into the Clough Pike location at 9:15am, the selection was to say the least minimal, I ended up leaving with Glazed and twists only, and I wish I had left them there as well. If what I received is considered fresh, I would hate to see what they call day old. I had to put my doughnuts in the microwave for 20 secs to soften them, right out of the box they are hard and stale. What a huge disappointment. I don't mind paying $9.10 for 6 doughnuts if they are fresh, but to pay that for stale doughnuts, that's just a rip off. I truly hated giving them 1 star, with what I received it is truly a -5 Star read more

Marcella is daughter of Mr. Holtman, the now legendary Holtman empire that got started with its humble beginnings by Mr. Holtman out in Goshen right off of Hwy. 28 as you are leaving Mt.Repose/Milford. Marcella's sister took over the biz when her dad died and has grown it into the empire you have seen on Food Network and may have visited down in OTR near downtown Cincinnati. Marcella also started her own humble shop down Rte. 125 out of Amelia originally as Marcella Holtman's donuts, but has since dropped the Holtman name and has continued to branch out and put her own signature onto delicious donut-ness. Marcella, now sans the Holtman name has been able to successfully grow her business into 3 donut shops at the time of this review, including one in Mt. Carmel and the original in Amelia. This Eastgate location offers the same great donuts as the other 2. While the Holtman donuts are good in their own right, Marcella's Doughnuts ventures out on its own with more specialty and whimsical creations like their Cronuts and Fruity Pebbles topped donuts. They also all of the traditional yeast and cake donuts of usual variety, long johns, jelly filled and the like. The staff are often family members, grand-kids, etc. and they are always nice and helpful. Please consider supporting this family owned shop instead of the usual stop at Dunkin or another chain. You will not be disppointed you did. Get there early as well because once they are gone for the morning, they are gone for the day. read more

Tristen was the best and the donuts were delicious. Cute place to visit and grab a cup of Joe and a donut. read more

Marcella's is a great hometown doughnut shop. They have a great variety of flavors. My favorite is Oreo cookies n creme. The doughnuts are big and filling. Marcella's is affordable and they also send out coupons to the community which is nice. I highly recommend checking them out at one of their 3 locations in the Cincinnati area. read more

Get here early, the donuts go quick. The lines can get long, but it's worth it. Great donuts.

Absolutely one of the best doughnuts that we've had. We have some hidden gems. Look them up in Eastgate! We let missing them on Saturday got up early to go vote last week first stop Marcella's. Definitely will go back read more

It's a great place and the doughnuts are excellent if I could give it a 10 I would and the staff are wonderful

Absolutely won't be ordering from here again. Placed an order at 930 am the day before for my sister and laws baby shower and went to pick it up to find out they didn't receive my order. Never received a confirmation email and the site had multiple glitches when submitting order. nobody was helpful in making the situation better when after all their online system needs fixed. read more

Good donuts. The croissant like ones are the best IMO. Only ones I have found better locally are Holtman's. to me these are good, just not quite Holtman's. closer to my house though and that matters! read more

These are some of the (if not thee) best doughnuts I have ever had. Not only do they have fantastic toppings and such a variety but even their plain doughnuts are irresistible. My husband and I go nearly every weekend. The kettle danish is one of our favorites, as is the oreo cake doughnut. Service is always very friendly and helpful in selecting what to try next! read more
