If you’re in search of sweet breakfast treats, donut worry. Columbus is filled with donut spots and we’re here to break down unique and classic options that are sure to satisfy your cravings.

Donut sandwich

If you’re intrigued by a breakfast sandwich with glazed donuts as the bun, Honey Dip Donuts & Diner will be your go-to. The classic diner at 4480 Kenny Rd. offers donut BLTs, donut bacon cheeseburgers, and donut sandwiches with a fried egg, bacon, and cheese.

Mini donuts

Dodo Donuts sells mini donuts in its food truck in Land-Grant’s beer garden Thursday-Saturday from 4:30-11 p.m. + Sundays from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. With rotating flavors like Twix, apple pie, and honey lavender shortbread, the small treats are freshly made and can be mixed and matched in mini donut 12 packs.

Game day donut

Is there a better way to cheer on the Buckeyes than with a buckeye-flavored donut from Buckeye Donuts? The donut shop has been a classic on OSU’s campus since 1969, and in addition to their large buckeye donut with peanut butter and chocolate, they also have an extensive menu to choose from with cinnamon buns, a variety of fillings, and cake flavors like crumb and blueberry.

Lots of toppings

Dragon Donuts, with locations in Grandview and Easton, tops its donuts with treats like Fruity Pebbles, Oreos, crispy bacon, graham crackers, Reese cups, and M&M’s. Plus, there’s no shortage of drizzles, dips, and glazes — some of the options are raspberry, peanut butter, orange, marshmallow, maple, and lemon.

THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by Hanna.

Editor’s pick: Happy Thursday, Columbus. I’m heading to High Bank Distillery Co. in Grandview for happy hour. Has anyone tried their Gahanna location yet? I toured the restaurant when it first opened, and it would make a great spot to watch the OSU game Saturday.
