Haute Donuts is now Haute Donuts and BBQ! That's right, donuts by morning and BBQ by night. I heard about this development and stopped in while at Van Aken. LOCATION: Haute Donuts and BBQ now has a new stand at Van Aken. The owners previously owned Gio's Pastaria which is now the new home of Haute. The stand is more central and spacious. The new stand has really trendy decor - chandelier and Tiffany-like pink lamps. It makes it standout big time and feels really nostalgic. It gives girl dinner vibes. FOOD: The menu is simple - meats, sandwiches, and sides. There's some creativity on this menu like cowgirl caviar (corn and beans). I experienced BBQ chicken thigh sandwich ($14). The sandwich comes with no sides but has a serving of kraut salad and pickles atop the sandwich. The chicken was perfectly tender but seriously lacked sauce. It was very lightly coated and the sandwich tasted dry. The bun seemed liked it was frozen and could use a little warming. Would I order this sandwich again? No, too dry and not a good value for $14. I'd explore the rest of the menu though and check out meats by pound and sides. Definitely tasting cowgirl caviar next time! SERVICE: The service was considerably better than during my previous visit. Employees were very friendly and patient during my interview questions. I plan to come back and try other menu options on some winter night when I'm craving comfort food! I like BBQ portion more than donuts although it could be cool if both were available at the same time. Or if there was some sweet donut BBQ sandwich!

Nice quaint space. Delicious donut. Friendly staff. It was my first time at this location. It is my understanding that they have set hours, but when they are sold out, thats it. So glad I was able to try a donut.

My family in Cleveland has gotten donuts from Haute in the past that are quite tasty, but during our last visit we tried some of their bbq for the first time and it was AMAZING! My husband ordered the brisket, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich and wow it was incredibly tasty! The service was friendly and the ambiance was lively since we were in the Van Aken food hall. I can't wait for the next time we are in town to have it again!

Unique barbecue with eccentric sides like kimchi cucumber salad and a dill slaw that was tasty and came on the side with my pork belly burnt ends. The cauliflower burnt ends were pieces with ends torched and drenched in a sweet thin sauce. The pork belly burnt ends were fantastic!!! Not dry at all!!! Not all fat either but the perfect juicy amount. Given how thick and heavy abd not to my liking their donuts are, I am surprised at how delicious the bbq is! Will definitely have to try the other meats sometime soon.

I found this place from a Yelp event and couldn't stop thinking about it. My boyfriend and I decided to grab some donuts from here. We got a mix of specialty and regular donuts. The regular donuts were okay but oh boy oh boy, those 50 layers donuts were heaven. They were so flaky but not too buttery. One bit of it would make you eating more of it. I've to be careful with this place because I would the whole box of 50 layers donuts. They seem to have different flavor each day, so I would recommend checking their IG page for daily menu.

Chopped Beef and Mac 'n Cheese
Nathanael W.

One of the best spots I've had BBQ at and not just in Cleveland. The chopped beef brisket sandwich knocked my socks off. The balance of the tangy slaw and kraut with the peppery juicy beef just hit so well. The mac and cheese was top tier and not a basic bbq side. Service was excellent as well. I WILL be back for seconds.

I tried Haute Donuts for the first time on my trip to the Van Aken Market. The donut I picked was more like a cronut. I loved the texture but was not in love with the icing...I am picky! I would love to try a different donut on our next trip to the outskirts of Cleveland.

Haute Donut- 100 Layer Vanilla and Cranberry next to the Beignet donut.
Jeff D.

Loved the 100 layer (croissant type) Vanilla Cranberry and the Lemon Poppyseed donut. The beignet was ok. The key here is selecting the unique version. Leave the boilerplate options in the display case. Next time we're aiming at the unusual.

What a treat! Donuts were delicious! Noticed a lot of comments on the price, and quality. Donuts were reasonably priced for the size and tasted fresh and cooked well!! Delicious and one of kind locally. Can't wait to try different flavors. Would recommend checking out (:

Underbaked sweet roll
Safia S.

I have been to this place 3 times and my review is based on these experiences. The staff are friendly and nice. However the donuts and baked goods are not special. I've tried the vanilla,and chocolate donuts they are very typical donut shop style in flavor. Nothing wrong with them but also nothing gourmet. The rolls that I've had each time--I do take issue with these items are underbaked and that is apparent both in the chewy texture and visibly. All in all i feel the prices should reflect the quality.

Yum!

See all

So good! The best donuts made fresh everyday. Don't be late or they will be sold out. It's a Saturday morning habit at our house.
