    I just love you Buckeye Donuts The more I visit the more I love yout goodness. Keep up the good work! Until next time...

    This is the donut shop to visit on the campus of Ohio State University, and some would say the best in the city of Columbus. Always popular with alumni and in the original building and location, Buckeye donuts has a smallish counter service operation, and the typical traditional glass display cases full of delicious donuts for carry out. it is a must try if you have never been, and a must visit if you are returning to High St and OSU. There are restaurants and eateries throughout the state of Ohio that are loaded with history & tradition. This is one of them and you simply cannot miss it.

    I love doughnut shops like this!!! We walked in and Tyrese greeted us with a huge smile and was so helpful!!! He told us about the doughnuts and helped us make decisions. He was wonderful!!! I just love the smells and looks os a little doughnut shops it's 24/7 and all the doughnuts looked so fresh!!! So glad we found this amazing place.

    From the hand-made donuts, always fresh and delicious, to the always personable and attentive staff, this is my go-to 24 hr choice. Not saying that the other chains aren't good- it's just that Buckeye Donuts is Great!

    For the price you can't beat this place. The donuts are amazing. I would go here 9 times out of 10 before I go to Dunkin. The staff is friendly and the vibe is very much family owned. The food I have yet to try but I would definitely go back and see what the rest of the menu is all about!

    Tried the Buckeye & blueberry + German chocolate donuts. Then, I had to try a BEC on a plain bagel. I love yeast donuts and thought the buckeye was fantastic. Also, the blueberry cake donut tasted like a yummy warm muffin. Great service & had an old school feel!

    First time visiting the OSU campus, the first stop was Buckeye Donuts -- which seems to be an important part of the student/alumni experience! We ordered the Buckeye donut, the apple fritter and 2 types of lattes. Everything was fresh. Staff was friendly. And they were selling exclusive OSU hoodies that we had to snag. Even though I'm not from the area, and didn't attend school here, I could feel the nostalgia-- this place has an old school vibe and is very welcoming.

    Dozen to go

    Buckeye Donuts is a Columbus institution, enough said. You can't go wrong with any of their delicious cake donuts. Love the variety and service is always great.

    Picked this shop as it was recommended as the best apple fritter in Columbus. So as an apple fritter lover I had high hopes. For me this is not a great apple fritter. I look for a nice crispy outside, soft chewy inside with the obvious chunks of apples. This one had the crispy outside but the inside felt a little dry and lacked any apple chucks. Had they had apple chunks inside It probably would have helped with multitude and been perfect. But as it was it felt like it was at least a half day old and not that great. The blueberry donut had a good flavor but again felt maybe older than desireable. I understand they are 24hrs but some things tasted to have certainly been on the shelf just as many hours. I know the blueberry donuts usually aren't as airy as a plain glazed and more cake like but this one was dense and slightly dry. As for the service, that was 5 star. The cashier was helpful, and patient while I decided what I wanted and got request from others over the phone. I will say while I was already getting the Apple fritter he recommend that and the blueberry which both missed the mark. Maybe they are/were slow sellers and that was his way of pushing them but they were not what he claimed they would be. "Top favorites" Over all decent service but low grade donuts and unfortunate I can't eat the service. Late night cravings this place would be perfect. For fresh quality donuts with good filling in the morning probably not the best choice.

    An awesome late night spot! They are opened 24/7 and they have many donut flavors to choose from. The donuts are so soft, we had to buy a couple more donuts to take home! We weren't able to try the breakfast menu since they stop serving breakfast after 10pm, but we got a Philly cheesesteak gyro instead. It hit the spot after a concert!

    This was a random stop after our concert in Columbus for randomly cancelled last minute. A friend mentioned we should stop here before heading home since we already had dinner. The guy working the counter was great. He was friendly and patient while we decided on what to get. I can't eat anything in here (food allergies) so I got some donuts for my husband and kids. I grabbed a delicious looking Buckeye Donut for my son. He thought it was delicious. I grabbed two chocolate frosted with sprinkles for my husband and daughter. My husband didn't love it because he prefers yeast donuts and this was cake. My daughter loved it a lot. She thought it was one of the better Chocolate Frosted donuts she's had. It has a nice location on the Ohio State campus so worth a stop if you are around. They also offer other food and drinks options then just donuts. Breakfast is also served all day.

    Yep, this place is good. Full selection of doubts, and other food mind you, but come for the donuts. Right off campus of OSU, so it's a perfect location. Open 24/7 for all your snacking needs. They usually have a deal by x many and get one free, worth the extra to take home, or make new friends.

    **5 stars for the milk bread**…read more FUN FACT -- Tous Les Jous is owned by a South Korean food conglomerate group (same concept as Paris Baguette) and this is a bakery with Asian and European baked goods. I visited Tous Les Jours for the first time on Memorial Day (May 2026) at the Columbus location. I arrived around 2:30pm on a Monday. Surprisingly, they had lots of options available even with my late arrival because most bakeries run out of items quickly. They sell croissants, cakes, milk breads, macarons, drinks, etc. MY ORDER ($18.95 total for 4 items) -- Twist Donut ($2.95), Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50), Almond Croissant ($4.75), and a Whole Milk Loaf bread ($6.75). 1. Twist donut ($2.95) - sweet but not overly sweet. It tasted just like a regular twist donut that you'll find at other donut shops. 2. Sweet Frank Roll ($4.50) - good. Perfect savory option for breakfast or lunch. Soft and buttery bread base. I think $3 would have been a better price but the bread roll was good. I ate this in my car before driving back to Cleveland. It held me over until I got home. 3. Almond Croissant ($4.75) - my favourite item - buttery with some almond cream or paste inside. Topped with almonds. I don't like creamy things at all and I didn't realize that this croissant had a cream inside until I opened it but the cream is very light and it is more of a spread than a cream. 4. Whole Milk Loaf Bread ($6.75) - Fresh and soft. Definitely my other favourite item. This was all gone within a day, that's how good it was. Buttery goodness. The best bread. Overall, I enjoyed visiting Tous Les Jours and I hope to visit their Cleveland location soon. I ordered takeout so I didn't sit in but they have some tables and chairs available. I'll definitely be back if I'm close by the area again. Tous Les Jours means everyday in French and I wish I could visit them everyday...haha. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 101/250 total reviews in 2026 - 942 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 May 2026

My sister and I had just finished up lunch and wanted a sweet treat and some caffeine to keep our afternoon going. The space itself looks great. For the longest time this corner was home to a vacant building and they put a lot of work into it. The side where you order is fairly small but on the other side of the wall is a good sized lounge area. Perfect for getting work done, catching up with friends, etc. I ordered the super trendy strawberry matcha and a pistachio raspberry macaron. Both were worth coming back for. The strawberry matcha had a delicious strawberry jam with a cold foam on top. I could tell the matcha wasn't the lowest grade option you could get because it tasted very smooth. The macaron was absolutely gorgeous and much bigger than the average. Both sides of the macaron were big and the amount of filling inside was amazing. Very flavorful but not over-bearing. It was also extremely photogenic. My sister enjoyed her goodies, too. She went with a hot chocolate and a cinnamon macaron and said she was a fan. They are Latinx-owned and women-owned, which I love to see. I will definitely be back to try more things and fingers crossed this spot sticks around for a while!
