Not even sure where to begin. I walk in at 7:15am--fifteen minutes after opening--and there's one other customer in the entire place. The two employees can't even be bothered to acknowledge me. No greeting, no eye contact, nothing. The donut selection was a joke--about 90% of the shelves were empty, and not because they were busy. It took nearly five minutes for someone to finally say anything to me. When I politely said I needed a dozen, the employee grabbed a box and just stood there staring off into space like I didn't exist. After another couple minutes of that, I had to ask if he was ready. His response? A lazy, half-interested "yeah." If zero stars were an option, this place would earn it easily. If those were the owners, that's even worse--because this was an absolute failure of a customer experience. And to top it off, I tried to leave this review on Google, but reviews are turned off--which tells you everything you need to know. There's only one reason businesses do that. I won't be back, and I'll make sure others don't waste their time or money here either. I'm done spending money at places that clearly have no concept of basic service. This was just flat-out pathetic. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The donuts are sooo good and they have a great variety. I will say; because they're good, they do run out fast. The people inside are always diligent and helpful. It's a cute little diner-esc breakfast spot. I wish I lived in that apartment complex behind, I'd be here every morning for breakfast! read more

We stopped by to grab donuts for my daughters' teachers and Kassim made it such a fun experience for my daughters. He was so friendly and kind. He even threw in some free donut holes for the girls! We will definitely be back! Not to mention the donuts were delicious. read more

Went in Sunday morning with my son and had one of the best customer service experiences of my life. They bent over backwards to please him the little man for his birthday. I can't express how impressed I was with the staff. Also, they have the best sour cream donut I have ever had and their homemade coffee has made me a believer in that magical black liquid. Big fan of the new ownership. read more

One of the best donuts i've tried .They made my day and are hard working. I got free donuts for every A i had on my report card.

It's not a bad place at all. We got half a dozen doughnuts and highly enjoyed them. The customer service was excellent, and the vibe was pretty good. The doughnuts were soft, and the taste was great. read more

I placed an online order which was not delivered. Daylight cancelled the order due to low supply but still charged me (as indicated by my bank). They would not refund my money. They blamed Door Dash and said I would get a refund from them. I never did. I stopped in the store and was told again that it was Door Dash's fault because Daylight had cancelled my order due to low supply. They took no responsibility for the mistake. I'm out $37 read more

Headed out for a little snack for breakfast this morning at Daylight Donuts and Cafe in Hilliard. I ordered a Chocolate Cream Horn and a Raspberry filled donut. The business has a small area for sitting down and having coffee if you want. On to the donuts, the Chocolate Cream Horn had a nice sort of crispy texture and a good amount of creamy vanilla filling inside. Definitely not skimpy on the chocolate on top. Great tasting and filling. The Raspberry Donut had a very tasty filling inside, no skimping on the filling. A nice glaze on the outside. Definitely need to come back to try more. read more

Saturday morning time killer visit. This doughnut shop is located on the first floor of some new loft apartments in Hilliard. The featured doughnuts look great! The store was busy and happy with music playing at just right volume. I Got a plain coffee and everything bagel with cream cheese . The bagel looked like something I've gotten at the grocery store. It could be made there, but not sure. They offer door dash pickup . I know this because there was a driver there yammering into his speaker phone. Boy does that bug me. Steady flow of customers while I was there. Great! There is a big selection of coffees including Turkish coffee and the staff was exceedingly old fashioned polite. read more

Stopped into here for Columbus Donut Week mid Corona-virus. Despite being only a little after 9, the donut cases were near-empty with some donuts completely sold out. (Which - hey, coronavirus, so lots of slack should be given.) The employee working the counter might have had a rough morning because they seemed really short-tempered and like I was bothering them. (I asked for a second item of a donut I'd already asked for, and his response was "You said you only wanted one" before staring at me). Despite the building feeling modern (and in a really cute apartment complex) and the donut's bright designs, I just didn't feel particularly welcome in the store. Donuts are a-okay, though. They weren't the best donuts I've had, but they definitely scratched the "sweet donut" itch I had. They weren't overly dry, were sweet when you ordered sweet-varieties, and looked pretty darn adorable (especially their Strawberry Sprinkles!). read more

I ordered two long johns's on the app yesterday morning (paid and tipped as well) for my husband and I. I walked over to pick them up and went in the store where they were boxed up and ready to go. Delicious. They offer delivery via third party or pickup from the app MyCoffeeHelper, or they are also allowing people inside to choose their selections. They also have curbside pickup. read more

It's a cramped location. The donut shop has a lot of variety and options, but each left us a bit wanting. The Turkish coffee had a half inch of grounds in the bottom of the tiny cup. The chocolate glazed was dry. The bucket donut was crumbling. The Oreo had a very fine powder of cookies so much so that more ended up on my plate than on the donut. The vanilla crepe filled had limited filling. It was a fun visit, but not what was expected quality wise. read more

Daylight Donuts and Cafe - Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

My friend had passed by this place on her way to meet us at Starliner Diner, so we had to check it out after we finished our breakfast. It's located within the Landmark Lofts complex, so I'm sure a lot of their patrons are people who live here if not close by. We walked in a little before noon and there was a lady with her kid and another family eating here with their kids. Seemed like they had just finished a soccer game. A lot of families seem to come in here and I also saw some young adults grabbing donuts. There are lots of tables and booths to sit at. It's a nice room with tables that aren't super close to each other. The light fixtures are cool too! They've got food if you don't want donuts. Soups, salads, sandwiches. And of course, you can also get coffee. It doesn't seem to get loud in here. There was a nice flow of people leaving and going. Service was great! The girls working there were really nice. They've got a good variety of donuts although a lot of them looked like plain donuts with icing that had flavoring. They do have chocolate donuts and a lot of your standard types as well as a few creative flavors. Nothing too out there like a mocha donut or earl grey donut. It seemed like the selection was similar to Buckeye Donut. I got the Halloween party donut. It was a plain donut with vanilla icing that they colored black and pretzels. It looked like a spider. Cute! My other friends got a pumpkin donut, a glazed donut, and donut holes. The donut holes had a nice vanilla flavor that I enjoyed. The pumpkin donut was light on the pumpkin but nothing standout. Prices were cheap! For all of those donuts, it was under $4! Wow! They're light and airy donuts so not cakey at all. I definitely didn't feel bad eating it at all. You can find parking in a lot right next to it. read more

Takes all Covid restrictions well. I went in late afternoon, but they have everything! Coffee, lunch items, bakery. Tried one of their bagel sandwiches and it didnt look pretty but it was yummy. The donuts were yummy. Old style donuts. So get in before 10 because they sell out. I took the last 6 donuts and loved them! Service was nice and there is seating inside and outside. Will be back for sure. read more

Got there around 10:00AM and they had very little left. What I did buy (blueberry fritter, pecan roll, pine cone were stale. To say they were a day old would be generous. Not going back read more

Some of the best Donuts I have had in a long time. The cherry fritter was crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The long John's were amazing and full of good yummy cream. The bear claw broke apart easily for sharing. Will definitely be back read more

Daylight Donuts and Cafe - Amazing donuts!!! - Donuts Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

This place is cute and has a great location right next to a Yabo's tacos and a soon to open Rita's. There's a decent amount of seating and plenty of windows. Honestly though it just reminded me of an off brand Tim Hortons with a smaller coffee collection. They had a variety of donuts, but nothing unique and the Bavarian cream I ordered was nothing to write home about. read more

I was craving a breakfast sandwich and after looking up lots of places, I can across Daylight donuts and cafe. I got bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. I also got an Apple fritter cause it looked good. Sandwich was ok. The bagel was a little hard but the bacon was delicious. The Apple fritter was HUGE but also good. I'd go again to try different donuts but probably not for the breakfast sandwich again. read more

I got some coupons in the mail and needed to bring something to a work potluck, so I figured I would get some discounted donuts. This means I only had one (a glazed) and it wasn't anything to write home about. There seem to be many options to choose from, along with "premium" donuts including standard long john's and twisted glazed. The location is crap, inside an apartment complex. If you can't find it, they face the road to the right of the complex entrance. There are also a lot of tables and chairs outside to help you. Signage could be better. The wait staff? Friendly but tired is honestly the only way I could describe it. I would also be struggling early in the morning but I wouldn't open a donut shop if I wasn't a morning person. The coffee was not good. Hilliard is filled with coffee options, so no worries there. Other than coupons, this business will need some differentiators to stay alive long term. read more

Daylight Donuts and Cafe - Donuts Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

Hard to find. Donuts are not that pricy, but also not that good for the price compared to other donut-specific shops. $6.50 for half a dozen for the $1 donuts, doesn't make sense to me?? A slight upcharge for buying more than one? I don't get it..? Not to mention the shorter heavier set woman had some super impatient "wtf do u want" vibes and made me feel rushed while ordering when I was the only one in line. Overall not worth the hassle or the seemingly irritated workers vibes. Little donut factory's donuts AND service are entirely too good to come here. The only reason I came was bc they had sold out already. Edited to add: the custard "Boston cream" style donut is so disappointing. I hate complaining but this is the furthest thing from custard type of attempt I've ever tasted. It's flavorless and tastes like just straight sugary grossness. Custard usually tastes like a sort of thicker pudding with a bit of flavor and a good texture. This is NOT it. The cream filled ones are just as bad. Tastes like solely confectioners sugar. The dough of the donuts is also not that good, tastes a little bit stale and just not moist at all. Will not be back. read more

Excited to try a new donut place, I went to Daylight Donuts. I was going to get a dozen to take into the office. When I got there I was disappointed in the selection. There were only a few specialty cereal options left, buckeyes, and long johns. Everything that was left didn't look very fresh. Instead of a dozen I only bought one because I was there and felt bad. I got the buckeye donut. It tasted like a gas station donut, and I only ended up eating half of it. For all the excitement of waiting a few weeks to get there it was a major let down. read more

Stopped by Sunday afternoon and received exceptional service. Ordered a chai latte with 2 shots of espresso and my boyfriend ordered a frozen caramel macchiato. While I didn't think the chai flavor was very strong, the drink was still enjoyable. The French toast was pretty good and my boyfriend got the Philly cheesesteak (great size for the price). Once we sat down and waited for our food we laughed at the fact that we weren't trying any donuts at a donut place!! Moments later one of the gentlemen walked over and brought us a half dozen on the house, since it was our first time! This was definitely unexpected and so nice! I'm a coffee lover and we only live 2 blocks away so this gesture went a long way and will bring us back! read more

The donuts are horrible. We got 4 because they all looked so good. The donuts were dry and horrible to be frank... they tasted old and like they had been sitting out all day which we did get there at 12 but I would still expect decent donuts since that is what they're known for. The coffee was okay but would not get again. The guy was super nice there but the girl seemed like she hated her job, she was sweeping right beside us standing right beside us and made us feel rushed even though they didn't close for 2 hours. No one was in here when got here but the inside isn't bad. Confused by the red ropes everywhere blocking things off.. have to climb under or over. Kind of inconvenient. This was disappointing to say the least & will not be back. read more

Found out they deliver..so pre ordered a dozen doughnuts for early morning delivery so that I could have coffee and something delicious to eat with my wife before work...They came right on time and was kind enough to even call me to let me know they were at my front door...We love stopping in on the weekends but now even better knowing I don't always have to wait for the weekend!...Totally recommend this place! read more

Never had a buckeye donut that was better. The fresh cracked egg sandwiches on bagels are superior for sure.

Daylight is just okay. They are difficult to find and the parking lot can be difficult to navigate and find a spot because it shares parking with the apartments. The space is fairly large but lines and ordering seem unorganized. I visited on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was pretty messy. I was able to skip the 'hot food and drink' link and go straight to the little register to the left for a donut. They had a decent selection for 10 am on a Saturday. I got a cake donut with a light frosting and coconut. The donut was dry and the outside was hard. I might be willing to give them another try but The Little Donut Factory is always solid, so I might not need to come back. read more

I come here almost every time I'm up in Hilliard. They have a wide variety on their drink menu, and they're breakfast sandwiches are DELICIOUS. They have such friendly staff members, who warmly greet you at the door, every time you walk in. Also a great atmosphere to hangout with friends, family, or get some work done! read more

This place is slow. Absurdly slow. Their breakfast sandwich is like a damp paper towel wrapped around oil marinated bacon and styrofoam. Never go here. read more

Good donuts and friendly staff. Get there early, though. They will have donuts on display that are "reserved". Frustrating when you wait in line for 15 minutes and realize the "available" donut types you want are sold out. read more

Decided to give this new donut shop a try. They had a large variety of fresh donuts and pasty's. I got a variety of different donuts, and was pleasantly surprised at the taste. They were fresh and left me wanting more. In addition to the donuts, I also got a Cold Brew coffee. The coffee was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again. The atmosphere of the shop, was nice and cozy. They have a bar that fits 5-10 people. They also table booths/tables around the shop as well. My overall scoring of 4/5 was due to comparisons of other donut shops around the area. I have had better, however I have also had worst. read more

I'm giving them a 5 star rating for what they are - a smaller chain donut shop! So far, everything I've had I've really liked! Favorite donut is easily the maple long John - maple long Johns are hard to come by these days, especially a good ones! I've also had two of the breakfast sandwiches which were good! My experience with delivery and curbside pickup were great. Overall, better than chains like Tim Hortons, dunkin, etc. and friendly service. read more

Our fave local donut shop! They have all the classics to offer, but the bowtie is by far the best! Highly recommend the bowtie to everyone. Be warned though they are very popular and busy, so I recommend getting to the shop early if you want all the options. read more

I was driving my kids to daycare but the road was closed so I took another route and in the corner of the eye I saw Daylight Donuts and Cafe so I decided to stop in because my girls and I love donuts. There is parking at the donut shop but you have to walk a few steps to get to the door because the shop is located in the corner of the building. The shop have such a cute design to it and was clean. Gives you a modern farmhouse vibe. They have a huge selection is donuts and one of the employee there saw my daughters and right away gave them each 2 donuts holes (I didn't even order yet). SO SWEET. I ordered a dozen donuts (classic donuts for 10.98) and got 1 free. The prices varies depending what donuts you get also. They also sell cookies and brownies but I have not tried it yet. Plus, they have a rewards program. Get 10 points (purchase for 4 dollars and more per point) and get a dozen donuts free. Such a great deal. We will certainly be back again. Great service and donuts. read more
