Really sad, dry, bready yeast donuts. Even the chocolate glazed yeast was dry and lacking in flavor and substance. The chocolate cake donut was dry and lacked flavor. The blueberry cake was at least moist but the flavor was quite artificial. The only moist donut was the custard filled chocolate long John which was passable but didn't save the rest of the batch from being really below average. read more

I absolutely love donuts and this was my first time trying the Doughnut Pantry of lakewood! unfortunately, i did not get to visit the place in person and just tasted the donuts as they were brought to me but none the less they were delish! The blueberry cake donut was flavorful, and you can tell it was made with real, fresh blueberries. It was moist which can be rare to find in a cake donut. I also really liked the cinnamon apple donut, it was glazed with just the right amount and the cinnamon flavor was good and not overwhelming at all. I wish there was a little bit more apples but that is okay. I did not get to try them all but everyone around me said their donuts were good and tasted fresh. I definitely want to go by and stop in person! Give this place a try if you are in the area. read more

Doughnut shop selling the classic doughnuts (but they do have a blueberry cake doughnut which is worth trying). Came in for a dozen and fyi they do have premade boxes if you don't care what 12 you get to save time. The staff were so friendly and moved fast and they were quite busy on a Friday morning around 8. I love that there's also a parking lot so you don't have to stress about Lakewood street parking. read more

The donuts were not bad for the price, however, the fillings were clearly premade and from a can. The storefront is plain with no interest seating, they do have benches outdoors though. Service was friendly, the two women working there were very helpful. Not a bad experience overall, but I wouldn't return simply because I don't think the food was worth the calories. read more

Always fresh and delicious. The neighborhood shop. Friendly, good service, too. Great prices, cleand...

Best donuts in the Cleveland area period! Fresh, perfect frosting amount and flavor, even the cake donuts are moist. Also SO affordable. Don't fall for the fads, these are what donuts should be. I pray they never go out of business so we can bring our baby here. read more

Donut was soaked with grease. Inedible. Avoid at all costs. Took one bite walking out of the store and nearly vomited on the sidewalk. Yes it was that bad. read more

Great selection of donuts. And they open crazy early so you can get in there can get some super fresh ones straight out of the fryer at 5:30am! Great donuts!! read more

Of all the tasks I never thought I would struggle with in the morning was picking up donuts. Turns out that there are very few donut shops in Cleveland even less that are actually open for customers. I found this place just around the corner and the donuts were great, it was a little difficult to spot from the road. However, inside are fresh donuts at a phenomenal price. Definitely stop on in. read more

Always enjoy visiting a Mom & Pop donut shop while traveling. Came across this friendly establishment. Smells delicious upon entry. A nice assortment of donuts and pastries. Fresh coffee brewing. The gentleman behind the counter was so warm and friendly. So positive to every customer upon entry. Kid tested and approved! Highly recommend this wonderful place. read more

On a mission to try all of Cleveland's best donut places so checked out my options while in Lakewood. I came in around 11:30 on a Wednesday, and there were slim pickings. Not surprising since it's the week before Christmas and a popular time to pick up a dozen or two. I got one chocolate and one blueberry cake donut. They were definitely fresh and pretty good! The chocolate was my favorite out of the two, but I'd like to come back when they have more choices available. read more

The perfect neighborhood donut spot! So cute with an old school donut shop feel. Also, very affordable...I think a dozen donuts was around $9.50. Large selection of donuts with super friendly staff. Will be frequenting this place go forward :) read more

Best long John I've ever had and can't beat the prices, lemon curd filled was good too!

So delicious! A coworker went and got doughnuts and they were so delicious. She went a little later and the selection was light. But we all managed to enjoy the selection. read more

Pros: Convenient, inexpensive donuts. Cons: The donuts are subpar. I enjoy a classic glazed and I've found them to be somewhat stale tasting. Overall I think The Doughnut Pantry is great if you're buying for a group. It's simple - unlike some of the other specialty donut shops around Cleveland with long lines and high prices. I've tried several flavors and their good - not amazing, but good. read more

I would blame an ok experience because we arrived after 10AM, which is usually a time when the donuts get a bit of staleness to them, but this is my review on what I had. We got three donuts there, a blueberry cake, an sour cream old fashioned, and a maple glazed cinnamon roll. The blueberry cake, to my surprise, was very moist and delicious. The sour cream old fashioned, which was oddly powdered, didn't have any kind of taste to it whatsoever. The maple glaze on the cinnamon roll was good, but the cinnamon roll was a little stale and barely had any cinnamon on it. I personally would like to try this place again when the donuts are fresher, but I would avoid the old fashioned donuts. read more

Growing up in Lakewood, Donut Pantry has always been the best local place and the nostalgia still comes back each time I go there.

For me, they did not live up to the positive reviews. The service was good, but the doughnuts were dry - tasted like they must be at least one day old. I could also taste the oil they were cooked in. read more

I stopped here the other day to get doughnuts for a work meeting. First this place is very nostalgic. I have only ever been here once before this trip but it reminds me of a place that I used to go when I was a kid every Saturday for doughnuts with my mom. It's a very simple place with classic doughnuts. And well I enjoy fancy doughnuts from places like Jack Frost and Brewnuts sometimes you just need a simple doughnut place. They have all the classics here - glazed, jelly filled, fry cake, cinnamon buns, cream filled, Maple sticks, frosted with and without sprinkles and all other kinds of classic doughnuts that everyone loves. I went around 7 AM so the doughnuts were still pretty fresh. I thought they were delicious and they were a huge hit at the meeting. Also I got 15 doughnuts for $11.20 that is a steal! I'm used to paying $3 a doughnut elsewhere. I might start to add this place into my Saturday routine :) read more

I drove by this place almost every day and I can't believe it took me 4 years of living in Lakewood before I finally stopped in! My boyfriend and I stopped in around 9am one Saturday morning and the place was not busy. They had plenty of options available and it was hard to choose which to take home! We decided on a half dozen (glazed, chocolate glazed, chocolate with sprinkles, chocolate covered cinnamon, regular cinnamon, and a plain stick donut) and they were all amazing! My favorite by far was the chocolate glazed. And the prices are beyond reasonable. We also got an iced coffee and it was very tasty! The worker was so friendly and genuinely seemed interested in us and our satisfaction as well as providing great donuts. We will definitely be back! read more

Picked up an assortment of long johns and cake donuts on a Saturday morning and they were dry with thin frosting that literally shattered and detached from the dough with each bite. Donut defense mechanism? In fairness and out of respect to the baker that really tried their best here, I still had to take two bites of each one to be sure my impression was founded. After throwing the remains into the trash, with a heavy heart I decided that Giant Eagle has better donuts. read more

When it comes to breakfast, I prefer simple. Bacon and eggs over rhubarb cream pie filled French toast. Same is true for donuts. You won't find goat cheese toasted donuts here. But what you will find is a nice selection of classic, delicious donuts. I ordered two and the grand total was $1.80. The gentleman working the counter was very sweet - made my morning. I will be back! read more

Oh, The Doughnut Pantry. A no-frills donut shop that reminds me of somewhere my grandpa would've hung out (and I mean that so lovingly). In fact, when I was there, there were tables of grandpas drinking coffee and chatting, and they literally had to be kicked out (again, I love that). If you're coming here, you're coming for great donuts and conversation, not ambiance. The focus is the donuts. Straight and to the point-- can't argue there! I'm a well-documented night owl that hates getting up early, so I've never been at the height of the day to get a full selection of the donuts, but its totally fine, because the glazed and frosted donuts we had were excellent. The donuts were light, airy, and satisfying. I would totally count on the Pantry if I ever needed a giant dozen for a party or working outing. The parking was super easy and the service was fast! I have to agree with Laura M, they are worth bookmarking if you're in the area. read more

I was tasked with getting donuts for work, and I wanted something good, so I searched Yelp for recommendations. The reviews don't lie! Stopped in on a Saturday. The ladies working were very pleasant, and there was a delightful assortment of donuts to choose from. I got 1.5 dozen and a large coffee, and was impressed at the price paid for value received. I enjoyed the frosted maple donut, and my coworkers enjoyed their treat! Very fresh. I will be back! read more

The donut pantry is great! At $.90 per donut (most) that is an amazing deal! There is also a usual crowd standing around a little bar there talking. They also have some coffee available too. Donuts are delicious and I'm glad I made the stop here! Yay donuts! read more

I don't really know why I was stingy with the stars the first time around. I love the Doughnut Pantry and I'm not afraid to shout it! The people here are very nice, efficient and friendly. They'll get you in and out in a hurry and they'll remember how you take your coffee if you're in there often. Donuts always fresh, good coffee and good service. Really what more could you want? Nothing. 5 stars. read more
