Just no words. Absolutely incredible. Best doughnuts (vegan and non vegan) I’ve ever had. Just. Wow. Updated from previous review on 2026-02-22

Truly amazing vegan donuts. It's so hard to find a vegan raised/yeast donut, and this place delivers (not literally), and then some! Come back every month to try new flavors. Some of my faves have been French toast, cookie butter, pear jam, and creme brulee. If I had to pick between Voodoo Donuts (famed in part for their vegan options) and Starlight, I'd go with this Cincy treasure any day.

I’m just going to say this . These customers are some of the most privileged entitled people I have ever met in my life . They park on the opposite side of the road, turn around and park in other people’s driveways when there are numerous signs up to say otherwise. They block you in can’t leave your parking spot. Very inconsiderate people who act friendly but are the most disrespectful people and entitled folk known to man. Did I mention they feel entitled? Imagine getting your car hit by one of these donut costumers not once ,twice, but three times ! And laugh about it or leave a note on your car lol. It’s the rude customers not the owners and I forever stand by my review . I see these rude customers everyday this shop is open. Since this post my car has yet again been hit 3 more times for a total of 6 times . The customers are very inconsiderate still park how they want in peoples driveway, hit your car or park the opposite way . Very rude people and the absolute worst entitled privileged people ever . Takes up everyone’s parking space

This place is such a gem. I don't live in Ohio, but it has now become a part of any time I come to visit. I went alone last time and brought my family with me this time. My brother was obsessed with the butter and salt doughnut, I LOVE the raspberry ring and boston cream, my dad got the French toast and Jalapeño Popper (I was shocked at the heat it packed, it was incredible!). Everything was perfect. The shop is small, but very cozy and I love the decorations. The food, atmosphere and service are out of this world every time.

Great donuts from a local spot. The flavors are fresh and regularly rotate. They work to quickly replenish donuts as they run low so everything is always fresh. I also love the service here - very friendly and helpful!

Very welcoming! She's always a pleasure to talk to. Her recommendations never disappoint. This place already had very innovative experimental flavors. This place has never failed me.

TOTAL diamond in the rough!! Cute little interior, kind and cheery staff (in person and on the phone), AMAZING donuts. Bonus points that they are the only place I can find that consistently carries pink donuts for my daughter! (Excuse the bite taken in the photo. We couldn’t resist and it was to die for)

Stopped here a couple of weeks ago on my way back from the airport. Even though I live a couple hours away, I would make that drive just for these donuts on the regular because they were that good!

The service was also phenomenal! They were so welcoming and patient when it took a million years for me to decide which flavors I wanted. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who is vegan, dairy-free, or who just likes really good donuts!
