I wish I took a pic of the donuts But we ate them too fast Wow they are good Some of the best donuts I have EVER had The only downside of this place is the ordering process is a little chaotic if it's busy, but that would deter me from future visits. read more

So make sure before you get in line you're ready with what you'd like to order because during their busy time they're rushing you through your order. That was hard for me since I'm not local and wanted to linger a little. The cashier and cook were extremely friendly though, so I was grateful for that. The croissant was delicious and I loved the flakiness it had. I got a donut based off the appearance, but it was legit just filled with icing which was wild to me. The inside gives old school diner with a lot of cute decor. Overall nice experience and yummy breakfast! read more

Absolutely the best donuts in Roc. We live twenty minutes away and pass numerous other donut shops to get there. IT IS WORTH IT. Most of the traffic seems to be take out, but there's a few booths and counter seats where you can sit down and eat. The staff have always been helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend this place more. read more

Hands down the best donuts I've ever had. The apple fritters? Worth ALL the praise they get. Service was fast and friendly. The donuts go fast and don't be worried if you see one you want run out, they might have more in the back! read more

Visited Ridge Donut Cafe today after hearing good reviews from other people and we wanted to take my mother-in-law while she was visiting from out of town. The donuts themselves were pretty yummy and the breakfast sandwich was good as well. The one star review is coming from the customer service. The more mature women were very rude and impatient. Rushing us and making us feel silly for asking questions or not knowing how their ordering system works. The younger woman were very kind, accommodating and helpful and would appreciate if the store was run more by women with attitudes like that for customer service. The donuts themselves we're good. It was mostly the poor customer service we received that will keep us from returning in the future. read more

Go no where else for FRITTERS!!! You can call and custom order them the night before too! Their donuts are the best around. A perfect treat for any occasion! Old school bar stools to sit at the counter and socialize while enjoying some coffee makes it a quaint little place and experience. read more

Excellent donuts and food, never had a bad experience always great!! Add this place to your places to stop

Have been looking for a good local donut shop in the area and this is it! Wide selection of donuts, muffins, cookies and breakfast sandwiches. Line was out the door but it moved fast as there were several people taking orders. It is a cute cafe with several tables and a counter with stools if you would like to eat in house. The cannoli donut takes a couple extra minutes to prepare so you won't see them in the display case. They look like a Boston cream but with cannoli cream. read more

These donuts are the BEST. Huge, airy, and just perfect. We opted for the 6 pack. The fritters are swirled with cinnamon and glazed and they are definitely one of my favorites. We also got faschnauts and a coffee roll. The buttermilk donut was this crispy cake donut with a dense cake like inside. Loved it. I cant wait to go back. read more

Rochesters greatest treasure. If you haven't had Ridge Donuts you need to go right now. I am a Donut snob- not only do they have the best donuts in Rochester but nationwide. Whenever I have company visiting over my house I get ridge donuts and they love them. My family all love the Apple Fritters. My personal favorite are the white or chocolate cream powdered donuts. Treat yourself and indulge. read more

Had my first experience at Ridge Donut cafe, recommended by a co worker as we visited nearby hospital. The place is small but it's all you need. Lots of parking in the back. Walking in there's a counter filled with all sorts of goodies. Cookies looked delicious! I was there to try their famous donuts! With so many options it was a tough decision. I picked out six to take back to the office, they had a cheesecake strawberry special.... There's also seating near the front of the building, a few spots at a countertop perfect for a quick bite and a cup of coffee. Learned a lot of people come here to hangout every day. Staff was friendly and fast, even with a few people in line ahead of me it moved fast. I'll definitely be back! read more

Very friendly staff. They were very patient with us when we were trying to figure out which donuts we wanted. They have a nice, small, diner like ambiance. However, I thought the donuts were just Alright. Nothing special. Sure, they are better than Dunkin. The donuts we tried: Cinnamon roll: 5/5 super soft and flavorful. Loved the texture Coconut: 5/5 Blueberry: 3/5 very crumbly unlike usual donuts. Sour cream: 3/5 crumbly again. Chocolate covered: 4/5 Apple fritter: 2/5 it was a little dry in the center. Also, I would stay away from the glazed ones next time. It's just way too sweet. read more

The donuts at this establishment will put all other donut shops to shame. Listen, when I tell you, Jesus was in these donuts I would not be lying. The donuts out of here are MMM good. They are fresh and soft and well worth a drive across town to get your $1.66 donut or $19.99 dozen. The staff are pleasant and eager to assist you. My favorite is the Boston cream, apple fritters, and pretzel (which is a super large glazed donut). It will cost you $4 dollars and some change. The atmosphere is nice and quiet, it is normally pretty busy so don't lose patience if you have to stand in line for a little bit, the donuts are well worth the wait. Don't worry though the. wait isn't very long. I will be going back again. read more

It's okay. I need to be honest and say that I'm not the world's biggest donut fan. I've been here exactly twice - once while writing this review, and once maybe 3-4 years ago. Both were so-so experiences. When I was here years ago, there was an eggshell in my egg sandwich. Today, the staff waiting on me just seemed flustered and annoyed. The donuts are good (I had an apple cider donut this time), the egg sandwich was shell-free and tasty, and the coffee was just okay and highly overpriced - I got a box to go for the office. My egg & cheese on a bagel, 12 donuts, and the box of coffee came to $39.94. It's pretty small in the ordering area with limited ability to social distance (some staff wore masks, some did not). There is a small counter and some booths for eating in. It's a Rochester favorite and I love to support local, but I won't be rushing back with all of the breakfast spots and bakeries we have around here. read more

Best donuts in town! Service is quick if u know what u want. Cozy and friendly . Busy no matter what time u go. Very fresh donuts.

I stopped by today to pick up a treat for my sweet fella. He is a serious donut man. The very efficient counter crew had the line of customers we handle with smiles and of course their favorite treats. Now It's a little cramped but clean and people are happy. What more does one need from a donut shop.. read more

The employees were fast and efficient. When we arrived there was a line and they quickly worked through. It's a little tight while placing your order and other people are leaving but otherwise gives vibes of an old school diner. Now the donuts, they were out of a couple flavors at 10am - maybe to be expected at that time of the morning? They still had a good selection and we were able to get a dozen. Good flavors and the donuts were really good. I had a cinnamon roll and it was soft and airy. I also had the Jamaican me crazy cold brew which was really good. Would definitely go back. read more

Sister: Do you want bagels? Me: Nah, I'm good. Sister: Do you want donuts? They're not like Dunkin. Me: F--k yes. That's the story of how we decided to take the trek out to Ridge Donuts. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with the scent of fresh-baked donuts, muffins, and other pastries. We each decided to take home 6 donuts. The gentleman behind the counter told us it was cheaper to have ordered one dozen donuts instead of two half-dozens. We explained that we are going to two separate addresses otherwise we would have. The gentleman said he could ring us up for a dozen if we could handle the finances between ourselves (which we could, thanks to Venmo), so we got a dozen huge, fresh donuts and 2 bottles of water for 15 dollars. Ridge Donuts is apparently a local staple. It's been there for years, and it's easy to see why. The customer service is top notch, and the donuts are to die for. I had a glazed donut which was delicious, but then again it's hard to mess up a glazed donut. There was also a chocolate cinnamon donut which was a chocolate frosted donut with a huge dollop of cinnamon frosting on top where the donut hole would go. It was amazing, and I am considering relocating to Rochester because of this donut. I would return to Ridge any day, any time, to eat anything offered there. read more

The best donut place in Rochester. Everything is always fresh and the service is top notch. I love this place and go back at least once a year! read more

Wow I've heard great things about this place, but nothing could've prepared me for these donuts. I'm used to Dunkin which can sometimes feel like eating lightly frosted air. Ridge gives you dense, quality donuts that don't skimp on the important stuff. The apple fritter and cinnamon twist donut holes were sugary and flavorful. This is definitely a place to go to treat yourself. Even though it was national donut day, there was a long line, and they were almost out of donuts, the service was efficient. I can't say much for the ambiance because we didn't stick around too long, but the sit down area looked clean and had a lot of natural light. Plenty of parking too. read more

The apple fritters are well known as the best around. I also had cinnamon rolls which were light and delicious cinnamon flavored and apple squares which are square pastries filled with delicious apple sauce. I have been here numerous times and I have never been disappointed. The service is efficient and the ladies were friendly. If you want excellent donuts and pastries, you can't go wrong when you go to Ridge Donut. read more

This was my first trip. Not to be my last trip. The only glaze yeast donuts that they had left when we got there were the square solid things. It was still delicious but really dense in the middle. I missed the whole! I also tried one with Apple filling. Extra tasty! That yellow thing is a muffin. Delicious but a consolation prize after the donut. read more

So I love ridge donuts normally for their normal selection of the donuts they have, but nothing beats the random collaboration specials they have for a weekend. My all time favorite is the Neapolitan cookie (rainbow cookie) from rubinos. It's actually my favorite cookie no matter where it is from,but when it's made into one of my favorite deserts it's pretty epic. They did this special twice now and of course I'm waiting for a third time. On my birthday they did the cookie dough donut which was also pretty good, it wasn't just dough on the top but in the middle as a filling as well. They have done other specials but the most recent is a collaboration with finger lakes coffee Jamaican me crazy and did a fry cake with the maple, brown sugar, rum flavor of that coffee as the covering over the fry cake. When I had one with my finger lakes coffee it was heaven! Can't wait for their next collab to see what they come up with next! read more

5 stars for Ridge Donuts! I think these are probably my favorite donuts in the area. Mostly simple, classic donuts but they do then so well.

Ridge Donut Cafe - Cake donut with chocolate glaze - Donuts Near Me - Rochester, New York

One of topic of conversation at my gym lately has been donuts. Hands down everyone said Ridge has the best donuts - especially loved are the red velvet and apple fritter. I had never been to Ridge so today I stopped in. I could smell them as soon as I opened my car door in the parking lot! Inside, the wall of donuts behind the counter was amazing - big, pretty, fluffy, yummy looking circles of love Picking only 6 to bring home was difficult, but I had a gut feeling we'd be coming here regularly. I also ordered a fresh, hot cup of coffee for my ride home. Even though it's 90 out, it hit the spot! After finishing some chores and eating a nutritious lunch (to offset some guilt), it was finally donut time. Hubby's favorite food is donuts and my family teases him to no end. He said the Boston Cream was one of the best he's ever eaten, definitely the best in Rochester. The chocolate frosted white cream is my favorite and it was very delicious (closest rival would be Paula's Angel Cream in Buffalo). Ridge definitely has two new customers. Looking forward to trying the others in the box, and then some of the others on our next visit. read more

Go here. I mean really--make the trip. We went an hour before closing based on a Yelp suggestion and were offered a bag of donuts for $5 or a box for $7.75. We opted for the box of course. After we spent agonizing minutes choosing some after the woman behind the counter described them all deliciously, making it that much harder, she offered us fresh hot donuts for a sample. I decided to move into and live in forever the red velvet it was that amazing. I decided to pay an extra $2.25 for the cannoli creme donut and was NOT disappointed. These are great donuts. read more

Please, for all that is good and holy, visit this donut shop/cafe. My friends and I are from out of town and we wondered over to Ridge Donut because we heard of the hype. I also checked the reviews knowing that hype doesn't always mean it's great but WOW, was I mistaken. This is very much a mom and pop shop. They have little seating and seats at the bar. You can order donuts from the counter or have table service. Each and every one of these employees were caring, sweet, and patient. Now to the donuts: I haven't had a perfectly crafted donut in such a long time and these cured me. The famous apple fritter was unbelievably fresh. I could smell the yeast. The glaze wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. The apples were real. The simple glazed had the perfect bite - not too chewy, not too greasy. Simply PERFECT. I wish I lived in the area. I'd be a regular. An employee went the extra mile in finding my friends some stickers of the logo. She ran out to give them over after we left. That's some great costumer service on a busy Sunday morning. read more
