Spudnut Donuts

Coming from the Land of Indiana, it’s hard for me to judge a donut without severe bias. (Because if you’ve never had Long’s Donuts or Boyden’s even, you need to plan a trip to Indianapolis yesterday.)
Prices were pretty average and the staff was friendly. The donuts are HUGE and everyone was pleased with all the kinds we purchased.
I like to base my donut judging off of glazed yeast donuts and custard with chocolate icing. The yeast donut was big and fluffy and delicious. It was my pick from the two!
The chocolate iced custard one could use some work. It needs a bit more flavor and density, but it wasn’t bad at all!
Overall, it was a good trip. Definitely the best I’ve tried in the greater Cleveland area!

I grew up getting donuts from here so it’s always a favorite stop when home. The Boston crème are some of the best I’ve ever had! I also love the sprinkle ones and chocolate dipped. There is just something about the dough they use that makes great donuts. If your in the area definitely stop by and give Spudnuts a try.

Best donuts ever! I’m not sure exactly what they use to make their dough, but it tastes phenomenal. The cream fillings, which you can get in white, chocolate and one or two other flavors, is not to sugary and sweet, but has more creaminess to it than other doughnuts i’ve tasted. They also have a wide selection of fruit filled powdered donuts as well. I have a Beckers donuts in North Ridgeville where I live, and I drive right past it on my way to Spudnut in Berea whenever I’m in the mood for some good donuts.

It is one of life’s great tragedies that I did not discover Spudnuts until I was in my 30s. Even worse, that I have not lived closer than 30 minutes away from one.
So, for mother’s day, I made the 30 – 35 minute voyage for some quality donuts. Was not disappointed. Next time there’s a special occasion that warrants donuts, I’ll be back.

PERFECT!
I was looking to have a sweet treat delivered to a remote-​working coworker and there were literally ZERO businesses in the 2−3mi radius that would… besides the flower shop of course.
In my google local search I caught the eye of a donut shop so I looked them up and saw they had some amazingly delicious looking creations! I emailed them my request of deliverying a dozen to an apartment nearby and although it was after hours, I got an email back within 20 mins of my submission — AMAZING SERVICE!
The email was from Rick saying either Don or himself would call me the next day — which they did! So exciting!
I wasn’t able to specify what donuts because the order was to be delivered the next day (as fresh as possible) but I did find both the total and the delivery charge to be VERY reasonable!
Don was literally so lovely over the phone chatting about weather and making sure to get my phone number just in case something were to go sideways.
My coworker will be so suprised!
I cannot wait to hear all about it from him!

Potato flour in the dough is why this place is different from your average donut shop. My kids LOVE them! Since it’s near my folks house, we stop there on the way to pick up sweet treats. Can’t pass up $ 1 donuts– especially the maple pecan :)

I’ve been waiting many years to eat a spudnut dounut and it was just as good as I remember, better even! The price of a donut is $ 1 and they carry dairymens milk (white and choc) While I was in Cleveland, I tried the raspberry donut, sprinkle donut, and maple pecan cream donut. The maple pecan was delicious! I usually don’t like cream filled donuts, but it was definitely my fave out of the bunch I tried. When I told my mom I went here, she said «Those donuts just melt in you mouth» so true mom, so true.

Small place with ok donuts. Not a huge selection. Mostly cream or jelly filled varieties.
I didn’t like how the donuts were chilled. Made them very firm, even the cruller I got. Also, there was a bit too much glaze on the ones I got, and it made them too sweet.
It’ll do if you’re in the area but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.

My husband and I decided to go by Spudnuts on a lark this morning, and we are very glad we did. Neither of us had any idea that such tasty treats could be made out of potato flour!
We tried the apricot and the cookies-​and-​cream ones and we will most definitely be back to try others. The doughnuts were light and tasty without the sickly sweet, cloying taste we’ve found at most doughnut shops. They were also very reasonably priced, at $ 1 each, where most shops I’ve been to would charge significantly more for filled options.
My only criticism is the same one I often have for cream-​filled, chocolate covered doughnuts: they are sweet enough without the chocolate and I would gladly buy them more often if there was a non-​chocolate-​covered option, but that is a pretty standard thing about doughnut options and is not anything against Spudnuts!
The girls at the counter were cordial and professional as well, and took a few extra minutes to talk some of their customers through their options, which was nice to see. At the same time there was enough of them so that despite the line, we got our doughnuts and paid quite quickly.

The donuts are amazing, probably the best I’ve ever had anywhere. The girls that work there are awesome and friendly!
The owner on the other hand… He’s an asshole prick, piece of greedy worthless shit. Went in there 10 min ago to buy only a dozen glazed donuts and coffee, and as a quick question i asked the girl working if there was anyway she could do me a favor and cut the glazed donuts each in half to make «buns», because i was planning on using them to make egg sandwiches for guest at the house. She didn’t even bat an eye, and without hesitation she was more than happy to help me and do me the quick favor. Granted i could cut them myself at home, no big deal, but i figured id ask and if they could, it’d save me that much more time. As she walks away to take care of this for me, the other girl rings me up, and as a gesture for her helping me cut them i added an extra $ 5 tip to my only $ 12 bill. No sooner than my credit card transactions complete, the asshole that owns the place sticks his head out from the back and starts grilling me asking why i want them cut in half, then rudely tells me he has to charge me labor to cut them in half he’s not going to allow her to do that for me… At this moment I’m in such disbelief and disgust in his manor and attitude towards me, i just tell him whatever box them up and ill take them and do it myself. Brought’em home cut them in half in about 3 minutes, i can only imagine what that son of a bitch would of charged me for 3 minutes of labor to cut 12 donuts in half… Feel bad for the workers he has there, that guy’s Hitler incarnate…

Great Donuts!
To follow up on what a previous poster said, I appreciate the young woman asking if we knew what we wanted. Gives it the more hometown, regular feel. I can walk into any big box store and have someone ask if they can help me, but obviously I am in a donut shop for coffee and/​or a donut.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to go to a DD or similar pastry shop when this gem is in the area. I will be returning… often.

Spudnut Donuts… only thing I have to say is I need to nap. The best donuts this side of town only other place better was Sno White Donuts if you can find one. Love stopping on the weekend mornings. Try it yourself just make sure you get there early they move fast.

This place is great. The donuts are excellent and the employees are very nice.

Listen, we were on the last day of a 15 day road trip across the country, of which I had been searching for a doughnut shop the entire time. Every other doughnut shop ended up being closed every time we tried.
Finally on the last day I find this place a little out if the way. I enter, excited for donuts and am greeted by a girl in a pink headband with a scowl who says «you know what you want»?
No, the door hasn’t even closed yet and I’m the only person in here, give me a second.
So I order half a dozen while the girl huffs and puffs in between each doughnut order like I took more than 10 seconds between each one.
Finally, still without any kind of smile or personality, she rings me up. Thanks for crapping all over what was an exciting stop for me lady. YOU’RE GREAT.
Anyway, the doughnuts were good but they tasted like attitude so they could have been glorious if not for my rushy little cashier girl.

I have a love/​hate relationship with doughnuts.
I find they are nearly always one of the most amazing things ever, until I actually swallow them at which point I almost immediately begin to feel sick to my stomach. This tends to be a function of both the heavy pastry and the guilt, so I really only get doughnuts a couple of times a year.
That may have to change, thanks to Spudnuts. I recently stopped in to pick up a couple dozen to ingratiate myself to/​bribe a new set of co-​workers and was surprised at how good the Spudnuts were.
Apparently potato flour is a component of the dough which results in a lighter and less greasy texture. Regardless, they were exceptionally good doughnuts, and for the first time in a long time, I was able to live with myself after eating one (or, uh, three…).
The shop is a little out of the way, but if you are a committed doughnut fan, it’s probably worth the trip.

The miscreant mutt and i ended up in the greater Berea vicinity this morning looking to have breakfast in the Metropark. I figured maybe a coffee shop/​bistro would have some dainty croissants or something in downtown. No dice. Apparently in this bustling college town, no one wakes up before noon. So we wandered and a familiar name caught my eye. Spudnuts. I used to pass the one in Mentor every day. Gave it a go.
The donuts are HUGE. Not the little two bites and you’re done numbers from Dunkin Dollars or even Giant Falcon. Three of these put me down for the count until five in the afternoon. Crullers were airy and rich (can that be?), blueberry filled was gushing with vitamin rich fruit goodness, and the apple fritter (which my dog passed on, wtf) was the size of my head. They also had gas station cappuccino straight from the machine (i believe that machine was first conceived by cappuccin monks during the 16^th century). Got a small. We ate in the park as everyone jogged by. My buck fifty frame swallowing donuts must piss off people who were sweating just to drop a couple lbs. All i was missing was a cigarette to look like a real a-​hole.
The actual establishment looks like an old construction trailer outfitted with diner stools. Very kitschy. Help was very nice. Another of their specialties is ice cream. Diet food central.

I have never been to Berea and have never had a Spudnut. But these guys get a definate 5 stars.
When my dad was in college there was a Spudnut stand on campus. He STILL talks about those donuts.
I called this location and asked for a dozen to be shipped to my father. They were nice, professional and courteous. They packed up the donuts (very nicely I hear) and went to the UPS store and shipped them for me. Dad got them today and was so excited. He said they are great.
Cannot tell you how fun it was to hear my dad say, «I can’t believe you found me Spudnuts.»

I realize that giving a place 5 stars is a big deal. And declaring Spudnuts «as good as it gets» is no mistake. Say it with me… Y.U.M.
The doughnuts are incredible. They are super tender and not the so-​sweet-​you-​need-​a-​root-​canal-​immediately-​after-​consumption type either. Don’t get me wrong, they are a seriously delish indulgence, but they are perfectly balanced.
In general, I prefer crullers. Theirs are no exception. I also adore their sour cream doughnuts. Amazing.
Stop reading. Get in the car. Drive to Spudnuts. Now!

«Gotta Make the Doughnuts»…Dunkin’ Hmph!
I’m Spudin’. That’s right Spudnuts!
Named such for the use of Potato Flour in their dough, Spudnuts have been around for 60 years.
After much talk on this little shop in Berea from my neighbor, I decided Sunday was a great day for a Spudnut. I walked in and was greeted by a nice young woman behind the counter. «What can I getchya?» «Two dozen spudnuts», I reply.
Then came the choosing. Oh, such difficult decisions prior to coffee in the morning. From apple fritters, to glazed, to apricot filled, to Boston cream (YUM!), to coconut, to sourdough, to French crullers, and the list goes on & on. Did I neglect to say that all spudnuts are the same cost. Yeppers, there’s no additional for the fancy-​pants sprinkle donuts that I’m a sucker for.
I had her load up the boxes & on to church choir for the real test. Hungary early morning musicians in need of a sugar-​rush.
Scene: Two very full boxes of Spudnuts sitting on the organ bench. In walk choir members. Eyes grow large. Smiles begin to form. «What is this?» they ask hopefully. «Just a little spudnut treat for this blustery morning», said I.
Mmmm…and the smacking of lips is all I heard. Powdered sugar caked on fingers & lips.
I think the spuds are a success!
Open at 6am until 9pm this little shop offers more than just spudnuts, from custard to who knows what, if you leave unhappy and hungry, it is probably your own fault.
