Jack Frost Donuts · Old Brooklyn
Jack Frost has been serving doughnuts since 1937 from its Pearl Road shop in Old Brooklyn. It keeps the original flavors and staples its customers grew up on, and it is just as known for decorated doughnuts that push the limits of how much can fit on a single ring, from icing drizzles to cereal toppings.
Brewnuts · Gordon Square
Brewnuts is a Gordon Square bar built on a creative blend of doughnuts, coffee and beer. Its doughnuts are made in small batches, with 12 flavors available each day, and the Detroit Avenue shop also caters dessert for parties and events.
Goldie’s Donuts & Bakery · Ohio City
Goldie's Donuts & Bakery is a family-owned bakery that makes its donuts, fillings, frostings and glazes from scratch every day. It is known for old-fashioned classics such as sour cream donuts, maple-glazed cake donuts, honey-glazed crullers and strawberry jam-filled donuts, along with long johns and apple fritters. Everything is baked at the main kitchen in Lyndhurst, where the business began, and delivered fresh to this Ohio City cafe, which opened in 2023.
Becker's Donuts & Bakery · Fairview Park
The Becker family has been making doughnuts since 1946, when the Becker brothers started a business that grew to 13 shops around Cleveland. The family has had plenty of time to perfect its cakes, pastries and doughnuts at this Fairview Park bakery on Lorain Road.
Bigmouth Donut Company · Rocky River
Bigmouth Donut Company's Rocky River shop has a menu ranging from classic glazed and old-fashioned doughnuts to filled and maple-bacon varieties. A doughnut feature singled out the shop's large creations and its scratch-made approach. Start with a glazed ring for the simplest end of the case, then try one of the more elaborate flavors.
