    Prompt service thru the drive thru at 7:15am. The speaker doesn't work but it still has an old menu on it to view before getting to the window. We only ordered 2 donuts but they were both fresh and delicious. Apple fritter had plenty of apple bits inside and had a perfect glaze on the outside. The Boston creme had plenty of custard inside and a nice chocolate top. Chocolate not overly sweet and custard is delish. Might have to avoid tim Hortons and get my weekly donut from here instead.

    It just doesn't get better than this classic campus coffee shop. With an old-school counter where you can watch the chefs whip up your sandwich to fresh baked donuts coming out by the minute, Buckeye donuts never disappoints!

    My friend and I went to the other Buckeye Donuts on The Ohio State University campus previously, but wanted to try the one in the South side of Columbus. The lady at service was great in getting the donuts we wanted and more. They are great donuts, and open 24 hours a day and never close like their campus store. The South High Street location has plenty of parking. I am crazy for the Blueberry donuts. I was not disappointed in the Buckeye Donuts and the service was excellent. I will be going back to the Buckeye Donuts on South High Street.

    Very solid donuts here. Not the best I've ever had or anything to go crazy about, but a great old fashioned local donut shop with around 30 different options - that's alotta donuts! We got the buckeye, cream filled, and toasted coconut. All very good. The buckeye was my personal favorite with a peanut butter smear on top. Will have to stop by again when passing through to try more!

    Great selection of donuts. I was very pleased with my order. I ordered though Uber Eats, and the box was taped up nicely.

    Finally decided to figure out where to park to stop here and try their donuts. Found parking on a side street where the college housing was. As we neared the entrance, we saw one handicap parking space to the left of the entrance. So nice they have that! The donuts were good, and still fresh (it was a Sunday afternoon). The best donut I had was the apple fritter. It was the lightest, least greasy one I've ever had. The buttermilk (which is usually my favorite donut), was my least favorite of the ones we tried. It didn't have buttermilk flavor and tasted more like an old fashioned donut. My hubby's favorite was the maple bacon bar. He was surprised to find it was filled with some fluffy white stuff (frosting?), but he said it worked really well. His least favorite was the cinnamon sugar one. The red velvet was tangy and weird, so much so that we threw it away. The devils food was decent. Overall the donuts were good classic style donuts, but definitely not worth going out of the way for. The service was great. The gal helping us was friendly and really patient while we all figured out what we wanted.

    Buckeye Donuts is a favorite on campus. Many people don't know that it also has another location. This is on the South side. It has a different atmosphere. One other difference is the food menu. It has just coffee and donuts. It doesn't have falafel or gyros like the other location. This is why I prefer the other location, because of the better menu selection. If you're okay with just donuts you won't have that problem here. The problem though might be the quality. Freshness here seems like an issue. Sometimes it's a problem at the campus location, but here it's even more so. If you're around OSU just go to the one there. It's better. They also have actual food.

    The apple fritter is my favorite

    What's your favorite donut? My 1st pick is always the apple fritter. The Buckeye Donut with the creamy peanut butter in the middle is another great choice. Always grab some of those old fashioned cake donuts. You know what I'm talking about, the ones with the little square imprints and the sugary icing. All of their donuts are high quality and taste really great. @ohiofoodlover

    The best doughnuts in the city! The cake doughnuts are incredible! They keep moist for a few days also. Quick, hometown service!

    good stuff and cheap, the building is run-down and lots of weirdo's lurking around the parking lot, but worth it!

    I've heard nothing but great things about this cafe, so my expectations were high - I'm happy to…read morereport that this place is worth the hype! We were gifted tickets for the German Village picnic Giftory experience which gave us two macarons of our choosing and two vanilla shortbread cookies for free. We chose the raspberry chambord and pistachio macarons while also ordering two pistachio cloud matchas. All of the desserts were excellent. The raspberry macaron was very fruit forward while the pistachio was more subdued, but still had a spot on flavor. Even with sugar coating the shortbread cookies, the touch of vanilla made them taste light. I could easily see myself eating far too many of those. The star of the show was the matcha. 10/10! I've never had a pistachio flavored drink, so I was a little hesitant, but wow, I'm glad I ordered it! The matcha base wasn't overly sweet nor was the pistachio foam overly salty. Perfect mix of sweet and savory. Even thought the line was out the door, it moved at a decent pace and our drinks didn't take too long to receive. I'd like to try the strawberry matcha next time, but I'm not sure if I can pass up the pistachio Highly recommend!

I think the issue is with the chocolate they use for the mocha but it had such an odd flavor that I couldn't bring myself to finish it. The croissant was fine and not memorable and I won't say too much on the macaron because I think I just realized I'm not really a macaron person so I can't fairly judge them there. The cafe is itty bitty and there is absolutely no seating inside so it's more of a grab and go situation. There are a few seats outside so hopefully you can snag a seat when the weather is nicer. Overall, I think there are a lot of other good coffee shops in Columbus that I don't see myself going out of my way to come back.

    I had wanted to try this place last time I was in town, and unfortunately didn't make it. (I live…read moreout of state.) So this time, it was my first coffee shop stop! I am so glad I didn't miss it this go around! The place is so cute. It's bright and open. The pastries are beautifully displayed as soon as you walk in, and beautiful they are!! One of our faves was the strawberries and crème morning bun! OMGeee perfection! The strawberries and crème were filled all the way top to bottom, not like lots of places that just put a small amount in the center that you have to eat dry pastry forever to get to! And the sugary bun itself was so good! Apparently strawberries were the theme because we also got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk and it was Al's scrumptious! The ham and cheese pastry was really good, but also really salty... so that one depends on your cholesterol ;) I mean love of salt. The service was so quick and everyone was really nice! We will definitely be back!

We didn't end up eating here because there wasn't a place to sit so we ordered coffee to go!! We both got an iced brown sugar latte- simple but delicious!! Wish u had gotten a pastry to go because they look to die for!!! I also really appreciate how they show their allergens in every item online so that you don't have to ask about everything! The atmosphere was lively, workers nice, people friendly!!! The CBUS natives seem to be die hards for this place and I can see why! I will hopefully be back soon to try some food, because I've heard lovely things about that too!! Definitely recommend giving this place a visit if you are in the area!! Enjoy!!
