These were such a hit at our wedding! I can't count the number of times people said "oh my gosh where are these donuts from?!" One of my groomsman told me, "I love you, but these donuts were the best part of the wedding." None were left except the few I stashed for the bride and I . Marcella's team made everything so easy for us, they even suggested toppings that would fit into our color theme. Donuts were baked fresh and delivered to our venue 1.5hr prior to the wedding. I think anyone that's planned a wedding will agree, the highest compliment you can give a vendor is: we didn't have to think about them --they delivered them, arranged them, all on time. I've had A LOT of donuts in my life and these are my favorite; combine that with the service and you can't beat it. Cannot recommend enough! read more

Visually, the doughnuts are okay. Unfortunately, they apparently put more effort into appearance than taste, and I honestly dummy care what a doughnut looks like, if it tastes good. I went to the Eastgate location once awhile back, and the products were dry and bland; I bought a variety for a meeting, and ended up throwing most of them away, half-eaten, which is hard to believe considering how much the attendees usually like doughnuts. I vowed to not go back there. However, this morning I was running behind and didn't have time to hit Servatii's, which has become my go-to place, so against my better judgment I swung into Marcella's in Mt. Carmel, as it was on the way. Since it was a smaller group, I only grabbed six (again, a variety). Luckily I tried one myself en route to the office; it was AWFUL!! Dry, bland --just so bad, especially given the price. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice...I'll never go back. Yuck... read more

There was a hair in my donut nit laying on top but baked in that ruined the whole box I got e6 of them and 4 arnt going to be eaten i was craving them for so long read more

I love the Cronuts the best!!! They are buttery, flaky and sweet without being overly so. The variety of donuts is awesome! The service is so fantastic! I think that Even on the super unlikely chance that I didn't like the donuts, I would go just for the customer service. They are super sweet people. I love talking to them. It's just a really cute little shop with great treats! read more

Best doughnuts of Cincinnati! Every single one is amazing! I had a bad experience with delivery but it is not their fault as is made by uber eats read more

Before your love is over you have to have a cro-nut! If you don't know that is a croissant fried and glazed like a donut. Most of the donuts here are awesome but the cro nut is iconic read more

Donuts are tooooo greasy. I get sick from the grease every time I went there. Not like it use to be.

Of all the amazing reviews I've produced, I suspect a large chunk of those are donut shops. I am absolutely obsessed with donuts and I wish I was this obsessed with kale and tofu. Alas, kale and tofu ain't got nothin' on donuts!!! Clearly, donuts of old have fallen by the wayside and there is a new donut culture sweeping through the nation. I am not opposed to that at all, just a bit slow on the uptick. This shop has a ton of really good donut options and it was so nice to try something new. I am old school and back in the Bay Area, I would settle for a chocolate old fashioned, a maple French and an apple fritter. BUT, with all of these cool options, I had to switch it up and get with the times! They had an apple fritter and it was pretty good. A bit smaller than what I am used to, but the flavors were on point. Sugary coated and crusty exterior and doughy (in a good way) apple cinnamony interior. Fruity pebbles on a donut?? Whoa! 1987 Saturday morning cartoon flashbacks! I used to sit in front of the TV with my bowl of fruity pebbles and watch the Snorks! That's how old I am! But, yeah. This was a wonderfully delicious donut and I could eat a half dozen on my own. Samoa donut, to remind me of all the girl scouts outside, braving the cold to peddle cookies. How sweet!!! Another sweet and delicious donut. I am a fan and I will return for more. I guess this old dog is gonna keep learning new tricks and try out new flavors. It's either that or I give up donuts altogether, right? read more

So so good extremely recommended for some good good doughnuts and other pastries multiple locations

Hands down the best donut place in Greater Cincinnati! It can be a little pricey but worth the gourmet donut experience. You won't regret anything you order. I've picked up box loads for a buddy's bachelor party, my staff at work, and for of course for myself. I recommend the kettle glazed and ask for which donuts they use cream-cheese in! read more

You have to try the cronuts!!!! Best treat ever, and sorry to say... you will be addicted to them.

Always a great selection and delicious! Love when they come out with new flavors! Always smiling faces from their staff.

Awesome service with your typical MX restaurant decor. Friendly staff too. It's worth the money And will not disappoint.

Was told to take my business elsewhere, they say they open at 5:30am and I waited till 6. I expressed my frustration to the owner, Carmen, and she told me to take my business elsewhere. I went to Holtman and had a much better experience, the staff there were friendly and the doughnuts there were delicious. read more

love Marcella's Donuts. we go to the one in Amelia. Friendly staff, best donuts, great variety . I have my favorite but don't want to jinx it with so many buyers. LOL. You can't go wrong with trying one of their donuts. For me it's a Cincinnati treasure !! read more

First time here and it did not disappoint! The doughnuts are so amazing. We went on Sunday mid-morning and they had a special - $10 for a bakers dozen. Everyone there was so extremely nice and helped us pick out some amazing flavors. They also have cough and tea! My personal favorite was the blueberry doughnut. read more

If you want overpriced donuts and rude service, this is your haven. I went to get a dozen and THOUGHT they were $16. When I got to the register, I was informed that Marcella's Mix are $16, these were $17 and I couldn't have them without the other dollar. OK, I get it; the mix is cheaper because people hem and haw at the counter thus taking up alot of the clerks time but I was in the store, literally, 2 minutes. So I went out to the truck, dug around and found .80; I got more rudeness but she finally surrendered the donuts for $16.80. We shop here frequently and are the kind of people that, when something is $16 or $17, drop $20 on the counter and say: keep the change. Needless to say, we'll be buying Holtman's from now on... read more

I typically go to the Marcella's on cough in Mt. Carmel. Probably the best doughnuts I've had. They always have a good variety. The lady that works there is so polite and always friendly. read more

None better!! Delicious, inventive flavors and presentation. We use the Eastgate location on Glen-Este Withamsville Rd. Seriously, you want a donut splurge? This is your place. We are always late arrivals and the selection will vary. Go early for the full array of options- lemon, blueberry, key lime, maple bacon, traditional glazed, etc., etc. Icing and toppings are top notch!! read more

Always great. The donuts are big, fresh and an amazing variety. Need to get there early because like supply and demand they all go. Staff is always friendly and polite. Highly recommend all locations read more

Yum! Holtman's granddaughter is the owner and there is a cute lettering in the concrete as you walk up the ramp into the Amelia location. If you have ever had Holtman's they seem like the same recipe. They have the BEST blueberry donuts and the creme filled as well as glazed are HUGE. I definitely recommend over any chain donuts. read more

My favorite donut shop. The owners are amazing and the cronuts are out of this world!

have gone several times during their evening hours and have always had a great experience, do not go in the mornings unless you want to have a terrible experience. never open on time, staff is rude. read more

A small place bakery but, don't let that keep you from getting all your bakery needs here. The best in town and the staff here are the best!!! read more

The best donuts possible! Get there at 6PM, everything is coming fresh out of the ovens still warm to touch. Size of donuts larger than Dunkin and flavor so much better! Price is excellent! read more

Probably the best doughnuts I've ever had... if I wasn't watching my junk food intake I would have eaten ALOT more than just 1 and a few bites of a few others just to try. Amazing variety of doughnuts to choose from, great cost and they even do catering if you're looking for a doughnut bar! The staff was very friendly and even though it was a Sunday morning there was still a steady stream of patrons coming in while we were in line. If this place wasn't so far from where I live I'd be in here every time I give in to my doughnut desires. I wish I could remember all of the doughnuts we ordered but there were too many to name them all. I do remember getting an Oreo cookie doughnut with white icing which was amazing. The other one I remember was a cronut, which was a cross between a croissant and a doughnut read more

I would normally give this place 5-stars because they've always been my favorite doughnut place. Their doughnuts are the biggest, prettiest & always taste fresh. Today I got half dozen & they were just bad :( it really bummed me out because I usually love this place! They tasted stale, hard & not even sweet, just weird.. almost like someone forgot to add the sugar to the dough. The chocolate frosting didn't even have a chocolate taste, what? I had to throw them away. I really hope this was a one time mishap because they're usually really good. I hope no first-timers came in today because they probably won't come back. I would be willing to try them again another time though.. read more

Marcella's is absolutely incredible. Not only are they hands down the best donuts in the greater Cincy area, but they jump at the chance to custom orders. This is a two tiered giant donut cake for my daughters birthday. On a side note, try their cronuts, they are the only place that does them right. read more

Marcella's provided the donuts for our wedding , we did a full donut bar and small cake to cut. Working with Carmen was such a joy! She helped me pick things out and gave her honest opinion. Talked like we were family and had known each other for years. Wedding day went smoothly with delivery and they even provided things for us to use for the night as far as set up. We plan to return to Marcella's for our anniversary tradition every year. As well as frequently in between :) read more

I don't go to a ton of donut places to have a comparison but I do know that objectively, Marcella's are ALL beautiful, creative, wonderful. It's like an entire store of fantastic homemade bake sale donuts. There are a few small town gems in Amelia and this is absolutely one of them. read more

Marcella's is great! - When they have their typical selection available. The Crullers are my favorite, they are little fried and airy/moist! Very different from your typical donut. I usually don't like cake donuts, but theirs are very good! Much more moist than most places. The blueberry and strawberry cake donut is definitely worth a try! The Cronut was actually one that I was really excited to try but did not impress me. I thought it would be more "flaky" like a real croissant. They definitely make some great tasting donuts but they almost never have a lot of the regular choices available, they seem to just kind of make whatever and don't have a consistent selection on hand other than their cake donuts. read more

Cute little shop. friendly lady helped me. early in the morning HUGE selection. multiple flavors in yeast and cake versions as well as specialty donuts with all kinds of fancy toppings and flavors. My co-workers really enjoyed them this morning! My only suggestion would be to maybe make the Clough location a little more cozy; I wasn't there long and I may have been the first customer, but it was very quiet and there were no smells. Coffee smells, bakery smells and little music would make the place so much more cozy. Passing the word along to all my Westside and KY friends to try them read more

This is the BEST place ever! They make the BEST doughnuts I've ever had and they are always fresh. The workers are all very polite and happy to see you! We love this place and go here once a week at least ! read more

After discovering that the owner of Marcella's and Holtman's were sisters, I made it my mission to get my doughnut on at Marcella's. So. Freaking. Delicious. I'm typically a lover of yeast doughnuts, but the cake doughnuts at Marcella's are incredible. The outside is perfectly crispy while the inside is moist and fluffy. It's a texture that honestly made me moan out of total satisfaction. I would have never thought that a simple blueberry cake doughnut could be so naughty. The downside to this place is that none of the flavors were labeled. I'm sure this is as aggravating to the employees as it is the customers. Still worth it. And so was the 5lbs I gained. read more

I have had nothing but wonderful interactions with Marcella's! Last year I was just getting a donut with my huge pregnant belly the owner insisted on giving me a free donut! Now I have my boyfriend coming for a visit from the Army has never been to Cincinnati I wanted to surprise him with his favorite food donuts! She once again insisted on giving me a free dozen to thank him for his service! Truly a wonderful company with great owners! My favorite local donut place around. read more

I'm a doughnut snob and I've been looking for a traditional shop since the chains decided to eliminate nuts, coconut and anything else with flavor in lieu of 45 different colors of frosting. Don't visit if you have allergies as there are fruits and nuts all over the place! Holtman's is good, but Marcella's has perfected it! With over 180 types of doughnuts, there's something different every day along with your traditional favorites. They're also high quality and larger than most big box store doughnuts, and Marcella's have a richer flavor. I only have three suggestions for the owners: 1. I would like to see more filling in the filled doughnuts and fritters, which I realize would increase cost. 2. Charge more! For quality this high and doughnuts that are roughly 50% bigger than chain and big box store doughnuts, you deserve to get paid more. Anyone that would complain about a 10-15% increase can get their doughnuts at the same store at which they buy their motor oil and aspirin. If one makes an extra stop to get doughnuts, they're expecting quality better than chain stores with a commensurate price. 3. Make more! I arrived at 10:45 on a Thursday morning and had a choice between only 15 doughnuts remaining in the whole store. They're worth getting up early to acquire, but it would be nice if you could be assured of choice during their normal business hours. The only way this store could get any better is if they decided to expand into danish, cupcakes and muffins. The idea of what a German chocolate or cheese danish would taste like from Marcella's is simply mouth-watering. read more

Best donuts around hands down!! Great selection, everything is ahhhh-mazing. Compared to big box donut chains, it's a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Marcella's blows the competition away. read more

Best donuts ever. Go early if you get there by 9 there might not be donuts left. My family's favorites are strawberry glazed with sprinkles, blueberry cake, the understated butter crumb and the amazing cronut. read more

These donuts are alright but they're not the best like some people think. I live near this location so I'm passing by it frequently and especially at night I'll peek in the window and notice they bake and place all their donuts out at night for the following day so they're not very fresh when you get them in the morning. read more

Expensive and be prepared for cake donuts only. They make very few selection of filled donuts, glazed and others. Cake is always on hand. I actually stopped going in due to they said if you want certain donuts you need to come later ...like when they are close to closing. Even when I went there early in morning the selection was very little. Don't be thinking you will see cases of donuts....never seen cases full. Only just a few or limited selection. Really...check the price before getting donuts...the highest donuts I've ever purchased. read more
