11 Best Donuts in Cleveland

“I LOVE Royal Donut! Their donuts are high quality and the best! If it says jelly or cream, you better believe they are FILLED with jelly or cream! No skimping here! Service is good and they work hard to please you. I have yet to leave Royal Donut unhappy unless it’s when I go there and forget they are closed. LOL. I’d love for them to consider a jelly donut with jelly in it similar to Dunkin’ Donuts. Just a thought…“

“Not only the best doughnuts in Cleveland, possibly the best doughnuts I have ever had! The thick, yeasty, cake part is paired perfectly with a glaze or filling that doesn't make it sickeningly over sweet. The vibe is great too. And if you like beer....BINGO!

Edit 2024: still A+++!!! (although, parking can be UNBEARABLE)“

“Such a fun and colorful establishment! I try and come here whenever I’m in the area. They have such a variety of flavors and they are cake donuts which are my favorite! The donut names are just as fun and creative as the flavors themselves. Whatever flavor topping you choose they are made to order as you choose. We got a dozen for $18. Again the decor and overall atmosphere is so fun.

Kid-friendliness: There’s a kids table inside the place in addition to adult seating“

“Great baked goods and coffee, served by good people. Highly recommend.“

“This is a cozy little place and the kind of local spot I love to find! It's open 5 a.m. til noon. I had a nicely sized breakfast wrap with bacon and it was delicious!! The menu is small but u cant beat the prices and food. I saw potato pancakes on the menu as well as eggs, hash browns, breakfast sandwiches and donuts. The owner was sweet as can be and we enjoyed the quiet, homey atmosphere. You can sit at the counter or there are a few booths and tables. A steady stream of locals were stopping for donuts and coffee and such taking it out while we were there. Definitely recommend.“

“We have a fabulous contractor on our property who has brought us treats from your amazing bakery…chocolate croissants and today, delicious cupcakes...almost too beautiful to bite into! We are new to the area but a visit in person is a must. A big thanks to John for his generosity and the best bake goods we have ever had. Baking from scratch with fresh ingredients and your skill produces the ultimate treat!“

“Great customer service...“

“I cannot say enough great things about this small family owned ?‍? bakery! Outstanding bread, scrumptious cookies and cakes ? and awesome sandwich service for lunch! Supporting the small places like this are important to keep the roots and foundations of Cleveland family-owned businesses alive! You can park in the lot behind the building or ample free street parking available. Great for serving to parties and groups or just as a simple treat to yourself! Highly recommend checking them out as you will not be disappointed“

“The pastries are all very cute and very yummy, would recommend the sweet waffles or mochi donuts.

The brown sugar boba was not my favorite, boba balls are a bit mushy and could not actually taste any tea (overpoweringly sweet so I guess it’s good if you just want sugar)“

“Why is everything extremely overpriced? Even the coffee. The small and medium is same price. Is this why the prices are not shown on menu in store?“

“Wonderful donut place hits the spot. Went there this afternoon; placed my order for 3 chocolate glazed donuts really quick. Staff that was working there was friendly and professional. One of the workers listened very wonderfully and got my order in a flash, meaning quickly. Service here is professional, too. Service is also professionally fast. I swear, I have very nice good-working staff at the donut shop taking my order. Lines are not super-long. Waits are shorter. I don't know what I'd do if not for their wonderful service here. This is a very wonderful donut place; not kidding, service is superb and spectacular in every way.“
