Yesterday, I needed to run to Athens from Ripley WV for an errand and my son said HEY since we have a little extra time, can we try McHappys Bake Shoppe? I said "Of Course!!" Thinking to myself, what woman is gonna turn down Donuts??? My 2yr old grandbaby starts chanting Donuts Donuts with her Uncle...40 yr old Uncle We get to McHappys which is very easy to locate, thanks to the signage for directions. Its a cute little brown building with a very eye-pleasing Logo Sign. We go inside (tiny parking lot also) but they do offer a drive-thru! Calliope my 2yr old, her eyes get wide and glassy as her Uncle takes her closer to the showcase. The employee was super friendly! My immediate thought was, this room is bright cheery and smells like Bakery Heaven...I could live here!! I tell her we want 6 Donuts and Calliope chooses first a Cake Donut with Pink Strawberry Icing with Pink & White Sprinkles, I choose 2 Glazed and A chocolate Nut Icing Glazed for my Hubby and my son Chooses a Glaze and for his 2nd a Blueberry Cake Glazed Donut! I was tempted to get a few cookies, whooping Pies and Cupcakes because everything looked so yummy and festive! But I did choose a Canoli and a piece of Baklava! In total it was $19.02 and I left her a tip of $3 in her tip glass! I definitely recommend if you are in the Athens area to swing by. Its located beside Taco John's which we plan on trying next time we are in Athens, Ohio. Thanks for the Yummy Treats McHappys we definitely left very MCHAPPY!!! read more

We were visiting the area for Thanksgiving - this one popped up with some good reviews. The building is unassuming, but the inside is cute! Place is bright and clean. The lady working had wonderful customer service. She was very helpful and cheerful when she found out we are new to this shop. We went home with half dozen, muffin and a canoli. She said everything is baked from their bakery and shipped to store. Their donuts are good, fluffy and moist.. all providing a mouth feel and not...dry and sad like a lot of places. My husband loved the canoli. I would highly recommend! Limited variety compared to some, but they are good with that they do have! read more

My god. Ohhhhhhhh dear lord their donuts were twice as good as I expected. To be honest from the counter and the lobby, they didn't look great. They looked ... fare. I didn't have much hope until that fritter got its hooks in me. Yikes!!! I'll never miss going to this spot ever again. Their cakes....their raised... their filled. It was a home run. But definitely snag yourself from fritters read more

McHappy's Donuts in Athens is fantastic. The donuts are big, fresh, and absolutely delicious--soft, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of place where one donut turns into two because they're that good. A must‑stop whenever you're in Athens. read more

Excellent service, fresh doughnuts and other pastries. Wonderful people. It's a great place to go to have a great coffee and an amazing doughnut and just sit and watch time. Goodbye. read more

Service was great. She gave great suggestions. Lots of donuts. No fritters tho. Open late.

McHappy's is my favorite place for donuts! Their PB&J flavor is my favorite of everything I've tried there.

Honestly horrific customer service the old woman behind the counter was so disgruntled at a customer coming in to her place of business at 10:30am on a Sunday I'm amazed she bothered to open at all. The way you speak to people here is utterly unacceptable. Donuts disgusting and "coffee" made incorrectly and also tasted burnt. read more

Been there twice so far since I moved back home. Around 5-6am each time! Fresh food! Amazing taste! Not bad on prices! Friendly women! Definitely love hitting it up when I'm forced to be up that early read more

Beautiful cases filled with delicious homemade items. Bear claw? Amazing! McHappy's? Should be McElated!!

Since we all know that my day would not be complete without a donut, I couldn't resist a stop at McHappy's Donuts and Bake Shoppe while in Athens. I grabbed a cream horn, a long john and a glazed cake so I had the chance to really try an assortment of their product. Overall, good donuts but nothing crazy out of the ordinary spectacular. Then again, it's really hard for me to find a donut I don't like. This bakery started over 40 years ago, and they still use the same recipe today. All goodies are baked fresh each morning and they have a massive assortment to choose from. Seriously so much more than just donuts. What I do love about them is that they really take pride in the sweets they bake and are truly committed to a quality product. Pro-tip THEY DELIVER!!!! read more

Mchappys Bake Shoppe - Donuts Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Went mid-afternoon to stock up for weekend getaway. Good selection of donuts, brownie bites, cookies, turnovers & muffins. Service was excellent! Loved the bran muffin, not too sweet but huge. Creme filled chocolate donut was delicious. read more

Ummm....easily one of the best donuts I've ever had. This place is a gem that is easy to drive by...it also looks closed but we took a chance and stopped anyway. The donuts are fluffy and fresh and everything you hope a sugary donut will be. A must stop if you are in Athens read more

This place has the fluffiest donuts I have ever tasted. I had the creme filled chocolate glazed donut. My daughter had the easter basket, a mini cake. I also purchased a mini pecan pie to take to my mother. The associate who served us was Clara, who was super helpful and very friendly-give her a layered brownie for being a great face of the company mission! I would give this place five stars but, I have a son who is vegan and there was literally nothing he could enjoy. I will say your sweet tooth will be satisfied here. It's a good thing I live in NC because these donuts can be quite addictive. read more

Mchappys Bake Shoppe - Easter themed treats and cakes. - Donuts Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Stopped in on the way from Ohio to North Carolina. This little donut shop is amazing! We got the cake donuts, long johns, and regular donuts, all tasted fresh. The whole area was clean and had a great atmosphere. She was kind and patient when we were indecisive on which one of the amazing donuts we wanted to try. They also have a convenient drive through. Definitely somewhere I'd take a detour to come back to. read more

This is such an amazing place for treats. Mchappy's is known for donuts but they have so much more than donuts. They have cookies, muffins, cupcakes, brownies and lots more delicious treats. There is a drive through and you can also go inside. Donuts are $1.49 each or half a dozen for $6.99. Highly recommend this cute little place for a sweet tooth!! read more

I use to work at Mchappys a few years ago and I hadn't been back until yesterday. I was soooooo disappointed in the taste and quality. Nowhere as good as they were a couple of years ago. read more

When I crave donuts, I come to McHappy's. Old fashioned, fluffy yeast donuts are my favorite! Do yourself a favor and come first thing in the morning because they're fresh and so amazingly soft it's like the sweetest dream, as if you never woke up; lifesaving on days when all you wanted was more sleep, but life happened. Also, I usually don't do jelly donuts, but they do jelly donuts quite well here (lighter on the sugar than most standard jellies). read more

Favorite donut stop around. My grandson gets off the bus and wants mchappys. It's definitely a family favorite! Drinks are way over priced. read more

Was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the donuts. When I walked in the building was really in bad shape and not very appealing. But I was there for the donuts and they were very good. Service was also good. Would help if they had names on the donuts to make your selection easier read more

Three stars? What are you people on about? Edit: I read the other reviews and it seems like one dude got bad cookies or something and couldn't let it go. Anyway, these donuts are fantastic, and the people that work here are super friendly. They're so good I drove here from Columbus to get more. read more

AMAZING donuts!! the dough part of the nut is extra fluffy and delicious. except the workers don't seem too mchappy to be there which put a damper on the entire experience... read more

Thank Gawwwd for McHappy's. These donuts are delicious. This cute little place has tasty treats all day long, and it's nice to have a locally owned donut shop to rain my monies down upon. read more

Painfully standard. The donuts are not bad, and no one would complain about having them, but they are definitely nothing special. They are made daily in a factory nearby and driven to the various locations on trucks in the morning before open. This location did recently remodel though and has a really nice atmosphere, and the staff there has always been really nice and helpful. If I am really craving a donut, I might go in right before they close as they are bagging the day olds for tomorrow (various prices but I go for the $1.99 bags of six). Prices aren't bad for what they are. read more

Worst donuts. Seriously. They have no right to still be in business. They are super nice though.

Great service, doughnuts and cookies were awesome! Highly suggest. They just got redone and looks very nice now

the donuts are delicious and come at a good price although the resturant does look somewhat dated and could use a little over haul.

Best fresh donuts in town, I stop there often and highly recommend it. They open early, around 6am, and close at 10pm. They also have a drivethru. read more

The donuts were fresh and great, good selection. My only complaint is that I would like to see signs on each donut so you have an easier time ordering. The lady behind the counter was less than friendly but that didn't bother me too much. I also like that there was a good selection of day-old donuts to get a good deal. I don't buy donuts very often but a dozen fresh for $8 seemed like a good deal read more

Great service. Always super nice. Clean area and well priced. Honestly the best donuts I've had. Even the day old ones are still awesome.

I've been going there for a while, I spend about $30.00 or so a week! I bought 6 cookies last Saturday. They weren't burnt but they're brown on the bottom and hard as rocks! The woman at the counter has waited on me lots of times and has always done a good job! She was talking to whoever the woman in the office was who couldn't be bothered to come and speak face to face with me! The woman in the office kept insisting she had checked in the cookies and they weren't burnt. ( I never said they were. Just hard as rocks.) She asked me to bring them back next time. (I live fifteen miles away) So I told her that! She insisted that she had checked them in on Friday ( I still don't understand what she meant by this.)and they weren't burnt. By this time I'm beginning to get mad ! I said if you want to call me a liar I won't be back! She never once came out of the office, she still insisted they weren't burnt! Now I'm passed she is calling me a liar, can't even look me in the eye's! So I told her I will never be back which made the cashier go Oh, no! A I've been a good customer! I find people in this area to be poor at customer service so I called their Corporate Office, we'll see how they respond! read more
