Goldie's balances classic glazed and cake donuts with filled, frosted and seasonal variations in a bright bakery format. Cleveland Scene includes the shop in its donut coverage.

Becker's is a compact Fairview Park bakery built around familiar glazed donuts, twists, fritters and filled pastries. Cleveland Scene names it in earlier donut results, while Cleveland Magazine includes it in current west side coverage. The Lorain Road shop is the one remaining location and preserves a straightforward neighborhood bakery rhythm.
