Donut king hours

Love this place! There are fast and ready to serve you. We got there just before a crowd came to clean them out. Their donuts are phenomenal. The place is takeout only but 100000000% worth it.

If you are passing by or near this location do yourself a favor and stop by!! The most affordable prices and the sweetest staff. We stopped by on our way to FL from ATL and wondered how we will ever make that drive without stopping there again! So many customers we were in line with were buying these donuts to take back home to loved ones. I mean dozens and dozens! The glazed are the best and they even come in mini donut hole versions. Very large donut sizes but they are so easy to eat (LOL)! There is also water, juice, and milk available. The sweet staff member warmed up some milk for me to give to my baby since we had a couple hours left to drive. The staff seem so personable and very kind!

We drove from Wisconsin, after hearing how fantastic these donuts are.... We had to stop. We ordered an assorted mixed and had two donut holes. The donuts are fantastic... and the donut holes are flavor filled pillows that are made in heaven itself. If I'm ever in town again, I will definitely return here.

If you're in town, STOP HERE!!!!! I was in town for a quiet weekend away and stopped by early in the morning. I got to see them all in action making the donuts. They were super nice people! They gave me a fresh donut hole to try since I'd never been there before. And let me tell you, The Donut King has RUINED any other donuts for me!! These donuts are AMAZING, y'all! They are MELT IN YOUR MOUTH, freaking amazing!! These are the BEST donuts I have EVER had. Seriously. I am so sad that I live so far away and won't have the chance to have them again.

Superior! These go to 11 on the scale of 1-10. Some of the best, freshest doughnuts I've ever had the absolute pleasure of stuffing in my face and I've eaten a lot of LA (Los Angeles not lower Alabama) doughnuts. Enormous, fresh, cheap, beyond scrumptious. Treat yoself. Worth a drive.

This is the best donut I have ever had in my life. Fresh - soft and sweet. Worth a stop if driving to Florida

How can you choose?!!

This place has been around FOREVER! Don't judge the outside. The donuts are made fresh daily & expect a line (but it moves fast). They stay open until the last donut is sold each day. Once you have one of these donuts you won't look at Dunkin the same anymore... it's just not even a fair match up! The donut holes OH MY! They are HUGE & I don't know what they put in that frosting but it's heavenly! So if you aren't a local but headed to the beach it's a MUST!

I didn't want to like this place as much as I did. Hole in the wall. Messy donuts. But dang! The flavor! It's such a good donut. Best Iv ever had.

Glazed donuts!

Great Donut shop. I think it's better than Krispy Cream and Dunkin Donuts. These are the very best donuts in the USA.

Living up to their legendary name as always, these are some of the best donuts in town. I think…read moreit's a mandatory stop for anyone new to or passing through Columbus as well, to get some donuts, and to visit and explore uptown (or downtown, I've lived here all my life, it'll always be downtown to me) Columbus. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming and go above and beyond to square you away. Veri Best is one of a few Columbus institutions that you must stop at if you have the chance.

If you're looking for a modern donut chain with trendy flavors and fancy coffee drinks, keep…read morewalking. If you're looking for a classic, old-fashioned donut shop that serves fresh, hot donuts the way they should be, Veri Best Donuts is absolutely worth a stop. I ordered a glazed donut and a cinnamon twist, and both were fantastic. In fact, my donuts were so fresh and hot that the staff put them in a large box instead of a bag because they didn't want them melting through the paper. That level of care was appreciated. When I took my first bite of the glazed donut, it was still warm. For a split second, I thought I had bitten into a pocket of grease. Then I realized it was warm glaze that had melted inside the donut. It was light, delicate, and absolutely delicious. The donut itself was a traditional yeast donut--the kind that reminds you why donut shops became famous in the first place. The shop has a retro, hole-in-the-wall feel right on Broadway, and the display case is packed with options ranging from classic glazed donuts to filled, frosted, cake donuts, twists, and specialty items. Prices are very affordable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Later that evening, I ate the cinnamon twist without reheating it. After sitting in the box for hours, it was still soft, fresh, and delicious. Now, where I'm from, we have our own local donut shop with a cult following, so am I ready to declare Veri Best Donuts the greatest donut shop I've ever visited? No. But does it deserve a cult following of its own? Absolutely. If you're passing through the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. Fresh donuts, friendly service, affordable prices, and a taste of old-school donut-making done right. But make sure you arrive early!
