    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 had my order delivered. I wanted something sweet so donuts were a great choice but thought I should have something for dinner so I also ordered the gyro. The gyro was what you'd expect, but the meat didn't have a hint of warmth to it and was really salty. The donuts on the other hand...they were out of this world!!! I had the Buckeye donut of course and had ordered the apple spice donut. They didn't have the apple spice so they substituted an apple fritter which is more expensive for no additional cost. The Buckeye donut was slightly larger than my palm and the filling tasted just like the Buckeye candy! The apple fritter was the size of my hand if not bigger but light and airy with good flavors of cinnamon and apple including pieces of apple inside.

    I took my sugga to buckeyes today and it was delicious. We had the breakfast sandwiches (ham provolone on croissant and bacon cheddar on wheat) and of course doughnuts. Get a red velvet for sure the strawberry is a little dry but good. Parking is interesting so be prepared

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    **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
