Being the donut fanatic I am, I've decided to tell you about some of my favorite places to get donuts in Columbus, Ohio (ranked least to greatest).
1. Krispy Kreme
The classic hot and fresh glazed donuts are always a crowd pleaser. Whether it be 12 AM or 12 PM, when that "HotLight" comes on, you know you better head on over to Krispy Kreme for one of the best donut experiences of your life. If you're willing, feel free to dumpster dive for some fresh donuts without the cost. If you don't mind them being from the trash can.
2. Duck Donuts
New to the Columbus donut scene, Duck Donuts is a fan favorite. Here you can create a personalized, warm donut to enjoy at any time of the day. My go to is a chocolate iced with rainbow sprinkles, because I'm basic, but there is a huge variety of icings and toppings to choose from that is kind of overwhelming. In a good way.
3. Jolly Pirate Donuts
Conveniently open 24 hours to fix any donut hankering, Jolly Pirate Donuts never disappoints. Choose from their wide selection of delicious, {moist} donuts. Always go for the "special" donut, because, why not. Not to mention they come in a cute box.
4. Tim Hortons
Ah yes, Tim Hortons. Tim's is the most reliable donut shop around. Even though you'd have to wake up at 5 AM just to get the freshest of fresh donuts, he's still a winner nonetheless. You know these donuts and they never let you down. Chocolate dip, iconic. Vanilla dip, class act. Timbits, legendary. I rest my case.
5. Buckeye Donuts
Located on The Ohio State University's campus, this wonderful place only adds to the wonderfulness of tOSU (and may or may not have been a major part of the reason as to why I chose to go there). They've got the best donuts in town the greatest coffee too. In addition, they are open 24 hours, so that's a plus for late night study cravings. As they say, "You haven’t had a donut.. until you’ve had a Buckeye Donut!!!" So be sure to check them out
