Their cinnamon roll is decent, and they sell smaller versions too. But they recently raised their prices so a cinnamon roll is now $3.70 or so. Way too much.

Got a dozen, little bit of everything. Mostly decent but the cake donuts were so greasy :(

Very nice clean place. I was expecting the donut case to be almost empty since we did not go till about 8:30 p.m. but it was completely stocked and had a great selection of everything. The donuts were fresh and tasted wonderful as

Absolutely the best bear claw I have ever had. Crunchy on the outside, soft inside, with just the right amount of fruit filling. Street parking is rare, so park in the Pavilions lot.

Ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich. And they said croissants would take 15 minutes to make. I said I would wait. And I'm there sitting waiting. It's been a half and hour and not one employee checks if I need something or any update on them. I try to catch their attention and they continue to ignore me. So I saved my money and left.

They never seem to have Curller new I go. Should label the donuts to make it easier to order. People don't always know the name or flavors.

this particular location has very rude staff. I'm not sure if it's a family unit but they all have the same kind of why are you here attitude along with their unfriendliness, a lot of the women's staff are cold. not to mention I don't believe this place has good sanitary practices. Once I came through and there was a woman taking orders behind the register with an extremely long T-shirt on, and it made it appear like she didn't have on any pants. Completely inappropriate, and not in uniform. then recently they hired a lady who barely speaks English but I guess she didn't have proper training to learn the menu. I ordered a turkey breast sandwich on a croissant, and when I got the bag, she literally put mayo and turkey and a weird piece of cheese.none of that are the ingredients for that sandwich. Go somewhere else like Randy's.

Honestly I've never been the type to spend the time writing a review about, well.... pretty much anything; but this for some reason tonight I feel has warranted time and opinion. Since I was a young teen, I lived just down the street from this store. Before I could drive it was always somewhere I would walk to whenever I'd get that spontaneous craving for fried dough with various possible icings or none. Open 24/7 convenience became nostalgia. Winchell's always felt welcome. It was smack dab in the middle of between myself and my childhood friends. It was one of our spots. Back when there was outdoor booth seating, Winchell's was the spot where we all would meet up. Anytime of night or day, way back when, you could find us there. Either with a chess board, a set of poker chips with Magic The Gathering cards or just a pack of smokes and a conversation. Back then that was where we could be found. The Winchell's on South Lake Ave. The seats outside have now since long been gone. The way back friends moved and moved on. Some still here some been tooken, but that Winchell's on lake 24/7 still here and open. That's why it saddens me so to say the quality seems gone. I went there the past two nights. The first with my wife and the second alone. The first night it felt as if the person behind the counter resented our order. When I asked which doughnuts were most fresh I was told "none of them" discouraged I still purchased four doughnuts two sandwiches and left. Then tonight I placed my order which was almost identical to the night before but found the veggie bagel sandwich I brought home for my wife lacked the avacodo and then caused her to vomit profusely after consumption. She is very sensitive to bacteria. It baffles me though how that can be an issue when the ingredients where only vegetables. It's sad to see the quality slipping from the place I held in my memory so high. The stars I gave are solely nostalgic. T here's one guy who where's glasses and works there and frankly is the only employee that know will do a great job. I loved this place. I don't get why it feels like many of the people working there don't.

I go here every other day, the youngest guy that works there is rude and careless. Poor service and doesn't put any effort into the food. Bagels poorly toasted, smoothies poorly made. Everyone else there is great, he's awful.

The donut I just ate must have been from yesterday or earlier. It couldn't have been made fresh today. I might as well have bought a grocery store donut.

Mark A.

All the doughnuts are over priced And extremely small in size, ripping off the consumer . I definitely will not be coming back to Winchell's donut House anymore.

Mik M.

One of the most uncomfortable experiences i've ever had buying donuts because the lady behind the counter was obviously angry at us for no apparent reason.

Love this place.
