Under $18 a dozen for a reason. Dry glazed plain and strawberry glazed yeast donuts. Not too thick- rather anemic in volume actually compared to the other donut shops I've been trying lately- but wow almost inedible dryness and lack of flavor. The plain cake and even the blueberry cake donuts were dry inside! No crispness anywhere on any of the cake donuts. Bad artificial strawberry glaze flavor and not good blueberry cake flavoring. Just bad all around. I got the pistachio cream fulled chocolate glazed yeast donut. If I close my eyes and lie to myself, the neon blue filling remotely sorta kinda tastes like pistachio but honest to god it had basically zero reminiscent flavor at all. How does a donut shop serve such bad donuts? read more

Delicious donuts - always fresh! Iced maple cream filled & black raspberry jam filled are my favorites...but there are lots of yummy choices

I loved their donuts. The cashier with the blue hair helped me out, she was awesome and loved to help me. The overall bakery was cute with all of the donuts. read more

This was my first time stopping into this donut shop, and even with a longer drive this will be my new go to for donuts. My dad told me about this place as they are his favorite donuts, and they did not disappoint. Classic old school donut shop with a great vibe and variety. they offer hot coffee as well and even have some fun Capuchino options. they have a great selection of donuts along with some other fun things like eclairs, fritters, honey buns, coffee rolls, muffins and more. their powdered sugar donuts are by far the best I've had, they are so light and fluffy and the cream/filling on the inside is amazing with whatever you choose. the edges are almost flakey/crispy and melt in your mouth, wow. they fill their donuts the perfect amount, not too much and not too little, they are generous with it. The service was great, everyone was so nice and helpful with recommendations. Definitely a must go for donuts if you love the old-school style, good prices, and you can even sit outside. read more

Came for packzi day- no line, quick service and friendly staff. These were our favorite packzi of the day- chocolate and vanilla cream and black raspberry. read more

A perfect donut shop. Absolutely flawless, still making donuts and coffee the way it should be. Great staff. Great selection. Great environment. My only wish was that I lived closer... I'd eat here every single day. read more

For many many years I've seen this donut shop but never came inside because I always ended up going to a franchise. As I got older I started to have more of an appreciation for fresh donuts so I decided to come here at 6am. This place is family owned and have the freshest donuts in Parma. My kid has been on a blueberry kick lately so it only seemed appropriate for me to purchase a lot of their blueberry donuts which did not disappoint. It also spoke volumes to me when this was the first box gone during one of the donut events I had at work. Definitely give this place a try for some fresh donuts! read more

Royal Donut - a variety of donuts in a box - Donuts Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Great donuts! I love donuts and am always on the lookout for great ones. These definitely fit the bill and are some of the best donuts in Northeast Ohio. When I'm near Parma, I usually go to Jack Frost. Those are good, but I think they're a bit overhyped and definitely overpriced. I think Royal Donuts will now be my go-to in that area. Today I picked up 8 donuts- 3 powdered white creme filled, 1 maple white creme, and 4 glazed. Total cost for the 8 donuts was $11.50 and they were all delicious! Do yourself a favor, and stop by this classic donut shop if you're in the mood for some great traditional donuts. read more

Royal Donut - The powdered creme filled and glazed were delicious! I ate the maple creme before taking a picture, but it was perfect! - Donuts Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

My sister and I were on a mission to find good donuts in her new neighborhood and when I saw this place with a bunch of older gentlemen sitting inside and outside I knew this had to be our place. We were not disappointed. We tried six different donuts and they were all good. The filled donuts were the best. There is inside seating and some outside as well. The staff was very friendly and patient with us. We will definitely be back! read more

Really great donuts and super convenient drive-thru for placing orders. Royal Donut has a new, happy customer!

This place is great and it seems like it's open forever, especially for being locally owned. They know their donuts and do them well. If you're in the area I'd recommend stopping here rather then going to the nearby Dunkin Donuts. They have a wide selection of donuts and it'll satisfy whichever donut craving you may have. I'm a fan of the double chocolate. They also have a chocolate cream donut which is also good but you REALLY have to be in the mood for something sweet. It's like half a chocolate flavor half a sugar flavor, all delicious. There's also seasonal options. Basically what I'm getting at is that there are a LOT of options. There's plenty of seating if you want to just sit there and relax. Bring a crossword puzzle, join the locals. read more

Royal Donut - Look at the choices! My favorite (double chocolate) is in the middle~ - Donuts Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Was in town looking for a solid donut shop. Royal Donuts is just that. A lot of traditional flavors and some specials. I opted for the Coconut. The cake donuts are a little small, so they aren't your traditional - size of your palm. The filled donuts were a tad bigger. Not a bad little stop if you're in the area read more

I have been trying to find a good filled stick and I finally found one! A lot of places seem to be using custard or thick icing to fill their donuts. Royal donut uses the fluffy cream, and lots of it! There was plenty of seating available inside and outside and the staff was very friendly. The inside was very clean as well. read more

We were there later in the afternoon and most donuts were sold out...but the ones we had were good. Friendly staff.

The Royal Donut glazed blueberry cake donut is the best around. I also had the chocolate frosted cake donut. Seriously good donuts

The doughnuts tasted like ones you would just grab really quick from a gas station. These are not special... The banana creme filling and cherry frosting were that strong artificial flavor. I mean, I wasn't disgusted with them, but they were nothing to crave and I won't be back. Also they left the case open, which grosses me out because that means bugs can get in. I'm no big coffee drinker, but I took a sip and it tasted burnt to me. P.s. Minimum charge for cards... $10 I think? read more

Same review.....Stupid site requires it...They serve up a great doughnut with an equally good cup of coffee..... Some shitface says that I should go into specifics but they are all fucks..... I love all of them more..... Just be honest you great person... read more

Even though they had signs on the door saying you needed to wear a mask to enter, not a single customer was wearing a mask. They were two sitting inside and another two who came in. One blocking an entrance smoking. No masks anywhere to be seen. The young woman who served me had a mask on, which is something. We came near the end of the day and the donuts were dried out and stale. I think they would have been really great if I'd come in the morning but the last, I will never know. read more

HOLEY DONUTS ! ! ! WOW ! The Chocolate Fried-Cake-Style with a light clear sugar glaze are OUT OF THIS WORLD ! This holey wonder---whose Earthly home-base is Cleveland, Ohio in a re-purposed drive-in from the 1950's---must have come here from another planet, and is now replicating itself every morning just to keep us content and unsuspicious. I don't live nearby, but when in the neighborhood for business, or other, I'll stop in for half a dozen to take home. About twenty years ago, an employee brought some to work and I couldn't believe how delicious they were. Twenty years later they're exactly the same---slightly crisp exterior, tender moist interior, and deliciously mild chocolate flavor. I'm very particular about donuts, cakes and pastries, so very rarely purchase. Even restaurants and bakeries extolled for their sweet offerings leave me unimpressed. My grandmother always held the number one spot, with Hough's Bakery number two. They're both gone now, so I seldom eat desserts of any type, but I'll make an exception for an occasional Royal Donut indulgence. I highly recommend it. (It's so good I've never bothered trying any of the other donuts that they offer.) They sometimes sell out early, so call in advance. read more

Royal Donut - three different flavored donuts - Donuts Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Donuts were okay Spudnuts I prefer. Only criticism is the cashiers touch cash and then your donuts with COVID rates increasing not sure if you want to take your chances. read more

Great little donut shop. Nothing fancy no frills but the donuts are delightful and the staff is friendly.

This place and Jack Frost are contenders for my favorite Cleveland donut shops. We ordered Paczki from here for Fat Tuesday and they are absolutely incredible!! For it being a little tiny donut shop, there is such a wide selection! I would definitely recommend if you want reasonably-priced donuts and to support a small local business! read more

I have been going her since I was a young kid! Everyone on Parma knows this is the best donut shop. I recommend going earlier in the day to get the best selection of donuts before they run out. They staff is super friendly. The dark & dipped double chocolate donut with a nice cold chocolate milk is the best combo ever! read more

Nice traditional local donut shop. Nothing fancy, but very delicious. Staff is always very friendly.

A dozen donuts for less than $9? That's worthy of a star all by itself! These are not mass produced "ok" donuts; these are the real deal. Full of flavor, fresh, and tasty. Staff is very nice and the run down about to fall apart building is as clean as it can be. read more

Best donuts ever! Just ordered 7 dozen for my kids birthday party. Ordering and pick up were super easy. Got nothing but compliments on how great the donuts were. This has always and will always be my favorite donut spot! read more

Just moved right by this place and had to try it! I went early in the morning so the donuts were all super fresh. They were amazing and I'll definitely be a returning customer. read more

Great donuts, decent coffee, and friendly staff. My favorite donuts are the cherry and crumb. You can also buy lotto tickets. What more do you want from a donut shop. read more

Was driving on State Rd. and decided to look for some quick breakfast grub to go. I passed by Royal Donut and saw their sign advertising their Pumpkin with Cream Cheese donut. It intrigued me, but I didn't really want donuts for breakfast, so I kept driving. As I moved forward, I wasn't really seeing anything that caught my eye... I wasn't interested in BK or McD's, or the like either. Instead of driving around aimlessly, I decided to turn around and succumb to my intrigue with the Pumpkin Cream Cheese donuts. I decided to get a dozen so I can bring some home for the family to try. I was disappointed to find that these donuts are considered "specialty" and does not count in the dozen offer. I asked how much they were and was told they are $1.50 a piece or 6 for $7.50. Wow! Okay, fine... give me half a dozen. When she put them in the box, I noticed that they're cake donuts, which I'm not crazy about. They sliced them in half and filled the middle with cream cheese... like a bagel. So I tried one right away and was not disappointed. They were pretty good. Not sure if it's something I'd make a special trip for, but would definitely try again if I'm in the area and in the mood for donuts. read more

Royal Donut - Pumpkin with Cream Cheese! - Donuts Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Absolutely the best donuts I have ever tasted, large, fresh, unique, and not super sweet like other donut places

Pumpkin Cake Donuts are a seasonal favorite so I can't wait every year when they have them!

There's a Dunkin' Donuts just east of here on Snow Road. It seems like it makes sense to compare them. At Royal Donut you get better prices, worse coffee and better donuts. Sometimes they don't seem as fresh but if you get up early you'll be fine. At Dunkin' Donuts, you payt more, get better coffee and all the dounts taste the same. They sell a bunch of yucky microwaved egg sandwich things too but don't bother. Royal Donut sells donuts and coffee. I like this place but it might seem a bitt ratty to some people. It seems like it has been there since the sixties. read more

Grew up and still live in the local Royal Donut area but haven't been there for over 20 years. Stopped today as I was intrigued by the sign that said coconut cream donuts - as I love a good coconut cream pie slice (from Amish Country) - first drove by but on my return I pulled in to get the donuts. Was disappointed. They were just the plain white cream filled donut with strong artificial coconut flavoring - I was thinking that they would be the white cream with real coconut flakes mixed in - not so. Not to say that I won't go back sometime - but I'll just stick to plain old regular donuts - no more of the coconut cream or specialty donuts for me. read more

These donuts remind me of my childhood neighborhood bakery shop. The "shop special" is a caked chocolate frosted donut that has a quality taste about it. Nothing like that institutional dough with fake tasting chocolate. Everything is good. I've never been disappointed. I drive out there to buy donuts for my family in Lorain County. read more

Decent prices and good donuts. However they really need a new toaster. The thing takes forever. You are a donut shop, invest in a toaster for your bagels. One of the staff there clearly doesn't like when you ask for a toasted bagel because she tries to get out of doing it. Invest a little money on a toaster and maybe spruce up the place and then this is a five star place. read more

Best cup of coffee in parma. great service and a good neighborhood place to hang out with friends
