I recently moved to Columbus and was on the search for authentic buttercream frosting on white cake. I tried Schneider's bakery and hit jackpot. The cake was very tender and moist and the buttercream frosting was perfect. I'm amazed at the tenderness of the cake after eating horrible grocery store cakes. Kudos to Schneider's bakery for keeping the tradition of having excellent buttercream frosting. I'm not a fan of whipped frosting on cake at all. Anybody else like me that buys cake for themselves and doesn't need an occasion? read more

Schneider's is hands down the best doughnut shop in cbus. They have the history, the great service but most importantly they have the recipes of over 50 years of fantastic doughnuts. I've been cooking here for years and their consistent quality is unreal. They never have an off day. read more

Schneiders is absolutely amazing! I've had their donuts before and they were good, but when we ordered 4 dozen for a work baby shower, they went above and beyond!! The employees and staff are super friendly, creative, and helpful. This place has the nicest staff and the easiest process for placing orders. Not only that, but the goodies are to die for- my mouth is watering while thinking about it! read more

I use to go to a different bakery for my cakes but they closed down so I had to choose a new one. I will not be using Schneider's again as a simple 1/2 sheet cake seemed to be too difficult for them. How difficult is it for a professional cake person to center the writing on the cake. I feel like they didn't care about me as a customer. I said the cake was fine when I picked it up because the party was due to start in a few hours & I didn't have time to wait for them to fix it. I am attaching a picture so you can see how they mushed everything over to the right of the cake. read more

I enjoyed trying different donuts from this place. Each one that I tried was delicious. We got chocolate glazed, cinnamon powdered donuts, a cinnamon roll, apple fritter, and regular glazed. Something about their classic glazed donut was addicting, it was light & fluffy and sweet but not too sweet. I will be back a few times a month. I would have given 5 stars but the staff didn't seem friendly... read more

Some time ago we ordered a cake from Schneider's to pick up on a Saturday (with the date and time indicated) a week and a half ahead of time only to find that when we went to pick it up they never made it! So we had to choose something that wasn't what we really wanted. We showed them the date it was ordered for, we were correct, they weren't and didn't even seem sorry about it! One week later I received a call from them telling me I needed to come and pick up my cake that was ready for that day! I told them sorry but that was supposed to be for the week before yet they still wanted to know if I was going to pick up this one. FAT CHANCE! I told them they could have their cake and eat it too! read more

I have purchased the date pinwheels from Schneider's for years. I ordered 2 dozen this week. I was surprised when I picked them up and they are at best 1/3 of the size they have always been. I would think they would have told me about this at the time I placed my order. I ask to speak to the owner or someone in charge and was informed that the owner wasn't available. They have lost a life long custome. read more

Make sure you talk to them when picking up your cake or you will get a lot of pushback before they make it right. The cakes are delicious however, this one is not up to par for a 40 year celebration. We were disappointed with the cake and the customer service although they made it right after pictures and 3 phone calls. read more

Somehow I had not reviewed this. Been coming for years, sometimes right when they open. Today was a Saturday around 10, and it wasn't crazy busy but steady. Still plenty of items left. I wanted half a dozen. I got one, a cream cheese-filled puff pastry. It was great. Baby K got donut holes, my mom got a couple things. Everything was good. Staff were friendly and efficient. It's a small place, but they do lots of things- cookies, donuts, cakes, and more. Prices are very reasonable. It's good stuff, at a local landmark. Get here. read more

This is THE bakery for the best apple fritters in town! Let them know if it's your first visit and you be treated to a free donut hole. Apple fritters: delicious Davy Crockett: swirled yeast dough that's iced with caramel icing. Extra delicious. Blueberry donut: dry Now I know why my Ohio family raves about this Westerville bakery. It's so delicious and the staff is very kind. read more

Ordered a King Cake for Mardi Grad! I called to place the order in advance, was ready as promised. $13. A traditional King Cake is a danish/cinnamon roll type pastry with a plastic baby inside, covered in classic icing and purple, green and yellow sugar sprinkles. If you don't know the history check it out online. Schneider's King Cake was very good. This had a sweet bread flavor and was packed with walnuts and raisins, great tasting icing and topped with sugar sprinkles. Even decorated with some beads! I liked this roll but didn't love it, perhaps I was spoiled by Nola originals but I did enjoy this cake. I think it would pair well for breakfast with coffee. Ready as promised, packed well to go. Would definitely recommend checking it out in time for Fat Tuesday. They mentioned 24 hours advance notice for pick up. laissez le bon temps rouler! read more

Schneider's Bakery is another great option for "just donuts" over in Westerville. While Columbus is all about the fancy and MYO donuts these days, I really like to walk into a donut shop order from the set menu, get handed a wax paper bag, and then head for home. They offer several varieties of sweet roll and custom cakes as well. I had an orange roll and it had a great orange flavor - not just colored icing, and was about the right size (my closed hand). The lemon filled was nice as well, lemon filling and a lemon-y icing. They had the other standards as well. My two treats were about $3, which was a great price and I was in and out in just a couple minutes on a Saturday morning. I will certainly visit again! I have my eye on the strawberry cream cheese rolls! read more

Nice little bakery with a great selection! Stop by for a friendly visit and get a taste of the best doughnuts around.

I stopped in here on a whim this week and I'm so glad I did! I've not been to Schneiders for about 10 years, as I attended college in the area then and would stop in between classes at that time. All the donuts are displayed so nicely in the cases it's easy to see what's what without any question. The store front is the perfect walk in, get what you want, and go; and the smell is absolutely mouthwatering as soon as you walk in. I ordered a couple of apple fritters for the next morning, a honey bun, and caramel topped donut. The fritters stayed perfectly soft until the next day. But the other two items I ate as soon as I bought them. Not overwhelmingly sweet at all, and the perfect mid afternoon snack. read more

Schneider's is the best. Doughnuts for 40 years - since childhood - and after living in five different states, these are still the best.

Delicious donuts since 1957. Downtown Westerville has lots to offer and Schneider's serves up really fantastic old fashioned tasting donuts. Pre-COVID they used to open as early as 1 am. Definitely a life goal to get there that early. Be prepared to stand in line if you get there before they open. The line moves pretty quickly so don't let that scare you away. Certain donuts do run out. Don't risk it, call ahead and order. Order: Cinnamon rolls w maple icing Apple fritters M&M yeast raised doughnuts. read more

Up in the area, I FINALLY got the chance to stop at Schneider's Bakery! Since opening 66 years ago (1964), they've obviously been a staple in the Westerville community. No frills or intricate/outta this world toppings, just quality yeast and cake donuts to satisfy. I got my usual go-to's: an Apple Fritter and their classic yeast Glazed donut. I tried a few bites of the Apple fritter right away. It was good. Do I wish it had more pieces of apple in it, yes; but I can't complain. The outside is covered in a nice crisped glaze layer, it was a crunchy-ish sensation, followed by pillow soft doughy inner guts that screamed GET IN MY BELLY! Plenty of cinnamon in their homemade dough, so it's so dang close to my standards of excellence. The shinning-fluffing-star of this trip was Schneider's simple, yet exceedingly exceptional, Glazed Yeast Donut. If any place has a claim to fame, they better damn-well be so good at it, they can do it millions times over again and again; and it better taste so elegant that it exceeds all else, leaving nothing obtainable at its level. Their glazed has reached this pinnacle. After a 15 minute stop at Trader Joe's, a 30 minute ride home, then 10 minutes of unpacking and settling in, the fluffin glazed donut was still so freaking soft and airy when I bit into it, good gawd drooooling. I've never - NEVER - tasted a donut that truly gave off hints of dough - NOT JUST PLAIN SUGAR. This donut was magnificent! The glaze is lite enough so it wasn't stealing the spotlight. I can't find enough words to describe the situation, but just trust me: Do NOT pass up Schneider's. In the town where I grew up, there use to be a made-from-scratch donut shop (Four Bakers), and they closed some 20-25 years ago; now there's only the boring humdrum chain breakfast eateries to satisfy your donut desires (Tim Horton's, McD's and Starbucks), so I can't even tell you how jeally I am for Westerville. read more

The donuts are tasty. But ordering pies from them is a hit or miss on whether they will have your order when you pick it up, which is extremely frustrating. read more

When it comes to this bakery I don't understand the hype. I've tried several baked goods over several visits and I don't get it. Donuts are not anything special in my opinion. They seem dry, and leave me disappointed (with the exception of the apple fritters, those are actually good). read more

Great donuts, the way they were meant to be. Not Krispy Kreme, Dunkin, or Tim Hortons.

I gave you five stars because at the age of ten years old I found Schneiders bakery at 2:30 am the oasis in uptown you could run wild in the streets of Westerville You were called a newspaper boy that hung out on Lincoln at the paper house if you didn't stop by schneider's you missed out on part of your growing up in the seventies thank you mr. Schneider ,jeff hamler and his wife they made every donut every night everybody had their own name for them ,but the donut folks knew what they meant.now the latest cat that owns it good luck there are a lot of donut places around town .Schneiders still makes the best davy Crockett keep up the great work stop by your missing out. read more

I'm relatively new to the Worthington/Westerville area but the kids' paternal side have been here for.ev.er. Schneider's Bakery seems to be the go-to suggestion for donuts, cookies, and cakes. This afternoon was my first time trying Schneider's. With its location on State St, there's mostly street parking and trying to park on the street in such a high traffic area is what my nightmares are made of (I won't even consider the short north on weekends unless someone else is driving). But today I decided I'd brave my fears and I actually found a decent parking spot. I walked past the store twice, it just doesn't stick out the way most store fronts these days do. Inside, you can tell this place has been serving Westerville for a while. It has that "all of this stuff has been here since before you were born" vibe that a lot of Dairy Queen's have that I love. It's pretty bare, I guess they let their products speak for themselves. The selection wasn't a huge variety, but I did show up 45 minutes before they close so I don't know if that's the norm or not. Shout out to the employees who patiently tolerated my toddler who's really into Wreck-It Ralph right now trying to single handedly bring their store down to the ground. They gave him a donut hole which satiated for about two minutes before he was back to being crazy. So in between chasing and grabbing him, I ordered a blueberry donut, chocolate glazed, custard filled and a bearclaw. I sampled all of them and they were all delicious. The custard was delicious, the bearclaw flakey, the blueberry tasted like actual blueberry and not blueberry flavoring. I'll be returning for sure! read more

OK, I don't live in Central Ohio anymore, but for all the years that I did, from age 6 onwards, there was only one place I went to get donuts, pies, and especially birthday cakes. You will not be disappointed. read more

The service was great, and the ambiance was that of a bakery. The issue is the donuts were somewhat dry and almost seemed like the dough was already a day(s) old. I microwaved an apple fritter the day after I bought the donuts, it was so dry I threw it away. Make donuts fresh and I will change my view read more

Donuts were really sub par & did not taste fresh. Bakery items look like they come from Walmart. Very little stock available at 2 pm. Definitely not worth driving to. The town itself is pretty and parking was plentiful during the week. read more

Heavy donuts full of homemade flavor and goodness. Amazing smells come from this part of Uptown. So different from Krisoy Kreme or Tim Hortons or grocery stores. Very high quality donuts for really reasonable prices (not like the new trendy donut places which cost a fortune). Great selection. They have all the old fashioned ones like eclairs with white cream, Bavarian with custard, sugar donuts with jelly inside, peanut donuts (my favorite), glazed, frosted, apple fritters, sour dough, etc. Order ahead by phone. Still cash only? read more

It was a beautiful cake. We chose raspberry between layers but it wasn't thick enough, just a tease. The cake was dry according to guests. Frosting was too sweet. This was our 2nd attempt at a custom cake and unfortunately, we won't be back. It was pretty though. Sorry Schneiders. Giant Eagle cakes are better and also cheaper. read more

I've been coming here for years and swung by this morning to pick up some of my favorites before the holiday. They have the best cream horns! Along with the cream horns, I bought frosted sugar cookies which I devoured and some pecan rolls for breakfast. This place is perfect for donuts, breads, cakes, and other cookies. You can pay with a credit card. The prices are so reasonable. I was shocked after 4 cream horns, 3 pecan rolls, and 2 decorated sugar cookies that my total was $17. You can really taste the love in their recipes. If this was another bakery in Columbus, it would have been over $50. Great deal for quality baked goods. read more

Was in early this morning, love the fact that they open at 1 in the morning. Got a jelly donut, a couple of powdered sugar and a chocolate covered, peanut butter filled donut. It is the newest selection that was made a regular this year. The morning girl is a major plus for the business as she is personality plus.

First, some of the reviews mentioned cash or check only. The store has accepted credit cards for a couple of years now. It was purchased a couple of years ago by a local businessperson and they changed it to accepting credit card too. The items are the same recipes. They've changed some of their operations due covid-19. They only let 3 in the store at a time and people are very respectful of the new normal. The bakery has the same wonderful tasting bake goods that we all know and love. Go in, buy food, and support a local business read more
