    Mel-o Cream is my favorite donut place in Springfield IL. This donut shop is a legend in Springfield IL and has been around for many years. They make their donuts from scratch and they are fresh every morning. You definitely have to get to the shop early to get the best selection of donuts, or else they will be gone! The ladies are wonderful behind the counter and offer excellent customer service. The chocolate creme filled donuts are a piece of heaven! The maple glazed donuts are simply amazing! The jelly donuts are the best!! I miss Mel-O Cream and it was one of the best places I enjoyed while living in Springfield IL. I would recommend this donut shop to anyone passing through Springfield IL because it is worth the price and the visit. You will leave with a smile on your face!

    I love that this donut shop offers a drive-thru window - because picking donuts isn't a time consuming choice so it makes it very convenient! We drove through and ordered an assortment of donuts as we had a large group and every one got what they wanted! I'm a sucker for jelly filled donuts and this one did not disappoint - filled to where it was leaking out!

    It's a must when you're in Springfield. Donuts are freshly made and are the perfect combination of icing and dough. Highly recommend. They have coffee, milk, soft drinks and water for purchase. Several long tables if you wanted to eat there.

    Variety of goodness!

    Growing up in Springfield, we were spoiled at a young age by having Mel-O-Cream donuts. Made fresh daily, these donuts make it very clear that you'll never want to buy a box of Entenmann's from the end of the grocery store aisle. I mean never! Mel O Cream is Fresh. Gourmet. Delicious! So now that I don't live in town it's always on my "must eat b/c I already know I'm going to gain 10 pounds while in SPI" list. Sure, prices have increased. A box of 6 cost over $6 now. I remember paying 35, 45, or 55 cents per donuts, but hey, the donuts are still made fresh daily and oh so so good. If you're undecided on what to get, the cream filled crunchy bun is the best. Get there early though, those go quick!

    1 Dozen apple and spice donut holes! ($2.49) delicious!

    This place is always great, and staff is kind. I have loved their donuts since I was a child. Quality is consistent.

    Banana Pudding Doughnut: Krispy Kreme (KK) has a fantastic origin story. Allegedly, founder Vernon…read moreRudolph bought the recipe for his original doughnuts from a New Orleans barge chef. I just think it's neat that the KK doughnut recipe might have some ties to beignets or other French cuisine. Wherever the recipe came from, there's truly something special about their original glazed doughnuts that transcends the genre. As part of their 2026 Spring Collection, KK has revived one of my favorites (yes, it was introduced in 2020 and I have a picture to prove it), the Banana Pudding Doughnut. The official description from KK is "An unglazed shell doughnut filled with banana pudding Kreme, dipped in vanilla flavored icing, and topped with crushed wafer cookies and buttercreme flavored dollop." My doughnut was a bright yellow color teeming with crushed wafer cookies (at least on half of it). This is my first minor complaint. The doughnut looked more visually appealing in 2020 with the 2026 version instead opting for a "Two-Face" look. Most of the flavor comes from the vanilla icing, except for the couple of bites that contain the sweet banana Kreme (my second complaint, there could have been a little more Kreme). I've had issues with missing or incorrectly flavored filling from KK, but when they do it right, it's divine. The banana and vanilla paired nicely and reminded me of why KK is my favorite doughnut chain when things go smoothly. Although it's an artificial banana flavor, it is well done and is not overly candy-like. The only other banana filled doughnut I've encountered has been at Voodoo Doughnut and KK's version is a worthy competitor for those unable to access Voodoo. It's on like Donkey Kong, Doughboy approved . Doughboy_Food_Reviews My KK favorites: 1. Hypno-Henry, The Cake Batter Monster 2. Oreo Cookies & Kreme 3.Peanut Butter Kreme Filled Doughnut Topped With M&M's 4. Mississippi Mud Pie 5. Banana Pudding 6. Butterfinger Original Filled 7. Biscoff Cookie Butter Cheesecake
