Vegan mermaid donuts
Sarah E.

Absolutely fantastic old fashioned donuts and lots of fun flavors (try the buckeye) for everyone. We loved that they had a selection of vegan donuts but found them a little sweet (I know...they're donuts ) but they has a fake sweet taste. Definitely worth a stop!

Donuts were very soft and pillowy in that one kind of good way. I found some of the glaze to be a bit too sweet. The fried croissant which is usually my favorite, fell a bit short. Definitely worth checking out.

The shop was clean and bright and still had a good selection of donuts. They had a very friendly employee.

I've been wanting to try these donuts for a bit but I'm not in the area often and the last two times I stopped by they had ran out earlier than the posted closing time. We walked in to one associate helping a customer and another hanging out with a friend. The service we eventually got was basically a drone putting donuts into a box as we pointed them out. Zero personality or hospitality. Finally got there in Tina and caught a decent selection but sadly the donuts were just fine. My wife and I got six and other of us loved any of them. The maple and French toasted tasted like the same donut but the latter had a slight hint of cinnamon. The maple donut tasted like a dead ringer for Dunkin's maple but cost a bit more. The blueberry was very reminiscent of the one from Krispy Kreme but again this one is pricier. The odd one was the "sour cream" cake donut that tastes like coconut with a hint of pineapple. The worst by far was the cherry cake donut which tasted like chapstick and left an awful aftertaste. The best of what we tried was Fruity Pebbles but the cereal overpowered the donut and did all of the flavor work. There's a ton of donut options in the area so I don't foresee myself visiting this one again.

Service was friendly and efficient and patient while we made our selections and there were tons to choose from! We tried strawberry frosted, chocolate frosted, chocolate frosted with a ton of sprinkles ("blue donut" if you're 3 years old), blueberry filled, and red velvet with cream cheese frosting. Also enjoyed a coffee (self serve, 2 roasts to choose from, 1/2 and 1/2, flavored creamer, and sugars) and bottle water. They have a cooler of drink selections. No indoor seating or outdoor tables

Located just off 129 in Liberty Twp. They open early at 5:30am. Their stuff is really good. I'm not a donut type guy but I have to say they make a great apple fritter and their red velvet donut was excellent. Service was very good. Stop in and grab some for the office....or just for yourself. Heck, why not!

This was one of the stops on our donut trail day! Come early as they sell out early but our selection was still good at 10:30 am. We are a custard filled donut and it was delicious!! The staff person was very friendly! We will be back!

This new Dude in town is going to do good. In a county with some amazing donut shops, The Donut Dude is a welcomed addition to the area and can't wait to see them on the Butler County Donut Trail. Having sampled nearly every donut shop in the area, The Donut Dude is going to give everybody else a solid run for their money. Quality donuts, quality ingredients and great people all around. I had the privilege of going there on their very first day of actual business. Since it was my first time, we sampled a number of the donuts there. Glazed yeast: Excellent. Light and sweet just the way a glazed donut should be. Devil's Food Cake Chocolate Iced: Another winner. A chocolate Lover's Dream. Blueberry Cake with Blueberry Drizzle: Nice!! Not too sweet and just right. He also makes a Blueberry Cake Maple frosted. I bought one for a friend, and I didn't get to try it. I was told it was amazing and tasted like a blueberry pancake with maple syrup. I will absolutely be trying that one my next time in. Custard-filled Round: Excellent! Old Fashioned and Vanilla Cake Glazed: Both very similar. If you know Donuts, then you know the difference between an old fashioned and a cake round. There are subtle differences but a donut lover will recognize this. Both are solid and you won't be disappointed. They also have a variety of soft drinks and milk and other beverages to keep things moving. Whether you're stopping in for a dozen or two or you want to just sit and have a couple, this place is got the setup. Nice small dining area allows for kids and adults alike to enjoy their donut goodness. Would I go back? Absolutely no question here. I can't wait to go back. My only problem is going to be trying not to go back as often as I'd like to. I think this place is going to do great and I'm really hoping but nothing but the best for these great people and their fantastic Donuts.

Buckeye, Custard filled and Apple Cream Cheese. Oh... and a couple of loose pecans from the Pecan donuts I inhaled.

A friend suggested that I should try the donuts at The Donut Dude. I put it off, feigning that I'm always dieting. I bit the bullet today and... I've been missing out. Best donut(s) in a very long time!! Very light, fluffy, perfectly sweet and best of all... not at all greasy!!! I'll have to get there earlier because it's clear that I was the last one to the table and their inventory was low but... I totally understand why. Delicious donuts for sure!!!

Stopped in for a couple of doughnuts. The selection wasn't as big as I expected. However it was a weekday and 11:00 AM. The employee explained they sell out early. The coconut cream doughnut and the glazed doughnut we purchased were very good. While there we discovered they get their coffee from a local roaster. Purchased a 12 ounce bag of the Highlander Grogg which is delicious. Will definitely stop back and try to make it earlier in the day next time!

Spot #11 on the Donut Trail. The staff is super friendly and eager to talk to you about all their flavors. So many delicious looking donuts fill their display cases, from cream filled to frosted sprinkle to apple fritters to cereal topping donuts. I ordered the chocolate and caramel frosted donut. The dough was light and fluffy, the frosting sweet and tasty. I liked the mix of flavors to fulfill my sweet tooth, but not be overly full. Check them out!

Donuts are pretty average. Only a few people are allowed in at one time. Would like to see a larger variety.

This place is 100% worth the drive! However you need to plan so you get there early. (They sell out fast!)

Terrible service. The woman behind the counter was very rude to me and my family. She doesn't value costumer service.

Ordered a dozen online for pick up. The space is small but seemed clean. They give you a free…read morecinnamon sugar donut. Service was brief but friendly. We did not realize they are tiny cake donuts so we were glad we got a dozen between the two of us. The donuts were good, but not our favorite. Most were average tasting with a few winners. I am also pretty sure we didn't get exactly what we requested as there was no cinnamon bun donut in our box, but two coffee cake donuts (which were our least favorite). Our favorite were snick jagger, buttafinga, and strawberry french toast. The chocolate chip cookie dough was made with some voodoo magic bc i have no idea what it was on the top that gave it cookie dough consistency lol. All donuts seem to be the same base with toppings added to them, which makes them all start to taste the same generally. Since we only treat ourselves to sweet snacks every so often, we would likely not go back but I don't discourage anyone from trying them out. I think kids would really like them!

I stopped here to get 2 dozen mini donuts to bring to an oncology office. I had never heard of this…read moreplace, but the reviews seemed promising and I liked the mini donut size but still different from Munchkins. I could not believe how many flavors there were! I think at least 20. I think these are cake donuts, which I guess isn't everyone's type, but I really liked them! The girl gave me a free cinnamon sugar one to try. She said they're all "made to order" - so the toppings are added fresh/to-order. I hope the office I brought it to enjoyed them! I feel like I could eat 20 of them easily! I also got a hot caramel (+1 pump apple syrup) latte for myself; they only have regular milk so I got whole milk. It was decent, nothing special, but the price is fair (under $5). This place makes for a sweet treat!
