This used to be my favorite bakery and my absolute favorite chocolate cake and buttercream icing! Sadly, I am giving up on it. Last July I ordered my son a SpongeBob cake and the icing slid off the cake before he could even blow out the candles, then I ordered a cake for my birthday and it was dry inside and didn’t taste at all like the quality cake I knew and loved. Two strikes for me is too many.

Sweet people, sweet place and most importantly sweet donuts.

Great local pastry shop, service with a smile and a chuckle. They were hooking up customers with birthdays with free cookies. Place looked clean and smelled even better. Stopped for a coffee and a doughnut and left with a no special occasion cake and the softest Vienna bread I've ever had. Owner was there personally and sincerely thanking everyone for their patience and support. Truly great experience.

Kid-friendliness: Several children were present during our visit and were welcomed warmly by both staff and patrons.

Drove a hour to get paczkis after seeing this bakery on aTravel Butler County email. Totally worth it, They had paczkis in every flavor imaginable as well as beautiful danish pastry, donuts and cakes. I bought a dozen paczkis which the family deemed as awesome! Service was excellent, too. I’ll be making this trip again.

Parking: Parking lot in rear of store with access through back door.

Treated myself to a delicious cream filled, chocolate iced doughnut yesterday! The staff was kind and even had a chance to chat with Vera! 10/10 would recommend!

Best doughnuts around! Love going in the fall season for the pumpkin spice. Moved away from Middletown, but always go back just to get some doughnuts

Love the vintage old school interior like the place has never changed, but the prices are outrageous. I got 4 items for 15 dollars…. Ask prices before you decide on anything if you’re worried about getting ripped off.
The dryest donuts, and Always have been. Try to get them fresh if you can. Some great glazed varieties still, the fried danish is a personal favorite.

Just be careful with the prices, if you care about spending a fortune on something as unnecessary as a few donuts.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! If you love pumpkin spice come here, little crunchies top the moist cake donut. Cinnamon square... perfection and portion is large enough to share!
