Pumpkin cream cheese roll
Diana H.

What a cute donut shop in downtown Syracuse! I had the "Fill it" Friday special - pumpkin cream cheese roll? This yeast donut filled with custard, topped with streusel and a pumpkin cream cheese swirl was delicious! The donut itself was soft with a great chew, the custard was silky smooth and everything I could ever want in a custard, and the pumpkin swirl actually tasted like pumpkin. Great way to welcome Fall and celebrate the end of the week!

I've had these donuts several times over the years, they are truly always the best tasting donuts. I'm not big on sweets/bakeries but these are always a tasty treat and worth it... definitely super sweet but in the best possible way and obviously you'd expect that from a gourmet donut. The cinnamon roll one is my absolute favorite!

Dozen Donuts! One in each flavor!

I hardly know where to begin with this place. We've all wandered into shops just before closing, only to be met with tired eyes and fading service. But on our first week in Syracuse, we discovered Glazed and Confused just twenty minutes before they shut their doors and you would never have known it. The two people behind the counter welcomed us with a warmth and kindness that felt genuine, not obligatory. As an Ohio State graduate, my eyes went straight to their Buckeye donuts, an instant must-buy. I walked out with two, and every bite confirmed I'd made the right choice. Rich, indulgent, perfectly balanced... these were donuts that know exactly what they're doing. But the pastries were only half the magic. I wasn't sure if I was speaking with the owner, but I bravely mentioned that I'm an aspiring baker myself. Instead of brushing it off, he lit up offering thoughtful advice, encouragement, and even an open invitation to reach out if I ever needed help. That moment stopped me in my tracks. This, right here, is community. This is what it looks like when a business is built on passion, generosity, and heart. I'll only be in Syracuse for a year, but Glazed and Confused has already earned a permanent place in my routine... and my heart. The perfect start to the weekend, and the kind of place that reminds you why local bakeries matter.

Stopped in early on a Saturday morning for a sweet fix. Service was very friendly, we were the only ones in the shop at the time and were in and out quite quickly. It looked like they were boxing a bunch of large orders, but I just wanted one doughnut. They had quite a few different options to choose from, but I just had to go with a classic. it looks like they have some seasonal flavors as well. I got the cinnamon roll donut which added up to $2 which feels like a steal. The icing was delightful but I will note that it was very much almost a bunt cake texture and not super "donut-y".

So continuing my lifelong goal of trying every doughnut shop...this place is very good! I am normally NOT a fan of cake doughnuts at all, but these were very good! The cake was light, moist and very flavorful. The shop is very small with limited dine in options (there is a table outside). The woman working was very kind and patient while I made my decisions. I chose the cannoli "sandwich", strawberry lemon and cookies and cream. The cookies and cream was my favorite. The chocolate cake was absolutely delicious! I would love to try everything on the menu! I carried them all the way home to Charleston 2 days later and my husband couldn't believe how fresh they tasted even after traveling for 2 days!

Definitely a part of Syracuse I miss the most after moving away! They always have fun flavors throughout the week and a solid selection of permanent flavors. There isn't a lot of seating inside - it's definitely somewhere you get a box of donuts from and eat in the car. Their coffee is also really good! It's a one stop shop for some breakfast goods. I also really recommend the donut boxes they come out with during the holidays.

Two staff were nice and welcoming when we entered the shop. The daily selection was nicely displayed and we were easily able to select 6 fancy creative donuts! They had fresh coffee and cold beverages available.

We decided to try this place while in town. This is not your ordinary doughnut place - the creations here are wonderful and a number of them could easily be a dessert. We decided to get a mixed dozen - here's our review: All of them have a cake doughnut base. They've got the cake doughnut down! It was moist and perfectly done. We tried a Blackout which is a chocolate cake doughnut with chocolate glaze and chocolate sprinkles - it was tasty! We tried a Blackberry Cobbler which is a cake doughnut with a blackberry glaze. This was the only one that disappointed - we just couldn't taste any blackberry - we only tasted cake - this one needs a re-design to give it some flavor. We tried the Nutella Tornado which was a doughnut with chocolate glaze, chocolate Nutella frosting, bits of brownie and a Nutella drizzle. Truly tasty - a dessert or a doughnut! We tried the Buckeye which was , a doughnut with peanut butter glaze, crushed peanuts, peanut butter buttercream frosting and a peanut butter drizzle - if you like peanut butter - this one is for you - we loved it! We tried the Cinnamon Roll which was a doughnut with cinnamon glaze, cinnamon streusel and cream cheese swirl. I love cinnamon so this was perfect for me. We have several other flavors that we'll try later but I suspect they will as be as awesome as the ones we've tried so far (Blackberry being the lone disappointment). This is a family owned business and all of the staff were very friendly. When we are back in town we will definitely come back!!

2nd stop on the Dules Anne breakfast tour today was Glazed and Confused donuts. The donuts we purchased were the buckey, the cannoli whoopie pie, milk n cookies, dizzy pig, and fruity pebbles. These donuts are crazy good!! Another must stop on your breakfast list someday! Check em out!

Awesome donut spot. Was downtown with hubby (at a Yelp event lol) and after leaving found this little piece of donut heaven around the corner. We saw their truck parked on the street and had to investigate, then saw the door front and ran right in. Lots of choices, with a few "normal" donuts and many specialty flavors. We tried four and they were all out-of-this-world tasty. Fair prices compared to other similar donut shops. Friendly service and the owner even offered us free coffee. Will be back again(and again)!

We live very nearby and have been meaning to stop in but only got around to it earlier today. We…read morewere looking for some pastries to take to a friend's house for dinner, and Brighton Bakery really came through! Wish we had gone sooner. As others have commented, it's not the most attractive place from the outside, or even from the inside actually. But appearances can be deceiving, right? The selection isn't great either, but I think this is the kind of bakery that prioritizes doing a few things right, rather than many things that are only mediocre. We got several brownies and canoli, and then got a few loaves of bread just because. All of them were fresh and decent. But the real story here is that the very friendly and chatty owner gave us several doughnuts for free! You read that correctly: free doughnuts! And based on the other reviews, free doughnuts are common for people who stop in. Isn't that enough to make you want to try this place? What more could you possibly want than free doughnuts! Overall, this isn't a fancy bakery, but it's a good one nevertheless.

My first impression was awkward as I pulled into the parking lot and it turns out that the owner…read morehas a bakery AND a liquor store next to each other! Whatttttttt! Never seen a bakery with a liquor store before! Walked into the bakery and the owner immediately helps us out. Even threw in free donuts and a loaf of Italian bread at NO COST! Whattttttt! Can't beat that! The place is not much of a looker, so don't expect good bakery decor. But the owner is friendly and great so it equal.
