Dare I say the best doughnuts I’ve ever had? We stopped here on our way out of Cinci and it was well worth it. The lady at the counter who helped us was so friendly and took the time to provide descriptions and recommendations. They have so many vegan flavors. The Boston crème was delicious as well as the French toast. Sooo good. Worth it!!!
Great Boston cream flavor! Indistinguishable from non-vegan donuts :)
I loved the donuts here, and the variety of choices for vegans and non vegans. Just make sure you go early enough on the busy days, as they close when they sell out!
These are the best donuts that I’ve ever had! Had my first visit today and can’t wait to go back (tomorrow)! Also, the staff is so friendly! What a great place to have in our community! Long Live Starlight Donut Lab!
These donuts were incredible. So many vegan flavors and so tasty. The vegan Boston creme was my all time favorite. They have some staple flavors year round as well as rotating seasonal flavors. All were delicious.
This company is awesome!! I had my first visit Friday and I can’t wait to come again. The cashier is an amazing lady!! 🥰
delicious and unique monthly flavors as well as the best staple flavors there are! staff is wonderful and always has a kind word when we come in. ♥️♥️♥️ my favorite sweet spot in the city ☺️
Was our first time here this past weekend. We bought a half dozen donuts. A couple of the donuts were phenomenal, but a few we didn’t care for. Ratings for current selections are as follows:
Raspberry Pistachio: 10/10
Giant Cinnamon: 9.5/10
Strawberry Cheesecake: 7/10 -cake donut :(
Boston Cream: 6/10 -cake donut :(
Eggnog mascarpone: 5.5/10 -no filling :(
Peanut butter: 3/10 (it’s just a regular chocolate icing donut with a peanut butter cookie on top, we were highly disappointed in this since we love peanut butter but there was no peanut butter filling which would make this donut ten times better)
The Raspberry pistachio and giant cinnamon donuts are absolutely delicious, but were the only things worth buying again in our opinion. Willing to try this place again upon next rotation of donuts as I’ve read the bourbon peach, crème brûlée, and peaches & cream are very good too. Hoping they bring those back
Price: $27 for a half dozen donuts, which is quite steep to be honest. Overall 7/10.
They have potential to be the best donuts in Cincinnati but they gotta bring it with every donut, and not just a select few, if they are charging these kind of prices. “If you build it, they will come.”

This unassuming building houses an awesome specialty donut shop. My friends, family, and coworkers all rave about their donuts and I know why. No matter what flavor you get all the donuts are lightly crisp, pillowy, have amazing flavors but are doughy in the best way.
I highly recommend the pimento cheese or the skyline donut if you like savory. The Christmas crack, raspberry, and strawberry lemonade ones are excellent for sweet donuts.
If you love donuts, give this place a try. The staff are very friendly and helpful with any questions you have.

The best donuts in Cincinnati, and the best vegan donuts in the Midwest. While Boston cream (vegan or non-vegan) is a consistent staple, they have a rotating menu that changes monthly with innovative new options (both sweet and savory) that will keep you coming back for more. Have you ever had a hot honey pimento filled doughnut? How about a chicken tikka masala? Just thinking about the cookie butter filled one has my mouth watering. Coming here to split a half dozen with my partner is a monthly (or more) ritual.
Vegetarian options: Vegan Boston creme filled doughnut. chocolate, vanilla, and raspberry ring doughnuts.

We discovered this shop a few weeks ago, and we now stop by every single weekend for half a dozen vegan donuts. These donuts are absolutely incredible! And the staff is really great - always willing to explain all the different options.
The Vegan Boston Creams are soooo good - probably the best donuts I’ve ever had. Please, please, please bring back the Vegan Crème Brûlée!
