It probably adds another 15-20 minutes to my morning commute if I have stop in here to grab some donuts in the morning. I totally dont mind. Worth the extra drive to get the glazed sour cream donuts, the apple fritters or the maple frosted long johns. (Those are my favorites, at least) The service is always super friendly. I think the only complaint Ive had in the past is that the coffee is only adequate, but recently thats changed, as another guy has set up shop in the back of the store from time to time selling what I think is home roasted coffee, rather than whats usually brewed. Its been hit or miss, but usually its pretty good! Id love to see these two local businesses team up so I can stop and get the best donuts in town and still leave with a really good cup of coffee with which to wash them down!

I feel like I am in "The Twilight Zone" as it appears everyone else is transfixed by this place. Only one chance to make a first impression, both in service and product. Proprietor failed on both counts. No other customers there when I arrived. I chatted with a fella perhaps for 30-60 seconds when the other guy interrupted, asking in a flat tone if I was going to order. I did, then left. I suppose I was hoping it would be like the soup guy in "Seinfeld" where you endured a less then stellar experience for an amazing product (after all, everyone else seems to love the place); but, was disappointed with the donuts themselves, too. So I give it two stars to give the benefit of the doubt, and maybe proprietor was having a bad day.

I have been a regular customer here for a handful of years now, getting a dozen every week or two for work. Always a great selection and friendly owner. Unfortunately will not be back due to todays experience of being completely ignored while they helped a customer that came in after I had been waiting in line already. At least the person running the coffee portion of the shop acknowledged me and asked if I wanted anything. Best part of the experience was while getting into my car after promptly leaving once the above situation happened I was given a look and a shoulder shrug. Not what I would have ever expected after being such a long time customer.

Swanky decor, tasty donuts, awesome coffee. If youre not impressed by the sheer variety of donuts, then the fresh taste will win you over. No donuts? No problem! The owners run a coffee shop in the store where they roast all of their own coffee and can whip up any specialty drink you can want. Still not satisfied? Drink in the nostalgic posters and memorabilia (all donut related of course) and even play a concert if youre so inclined. The apple fritter is probably the best traditional fritter in Columbus. It was fresh, apple-y, cakey, and just the right amount of sweet.

Ive eaten a lot of great donuts in Cincinnati and Columbus. Ive had bakery donuts, chain-store donuts, and Lil Donut Factory donuts. I have to say, these are the best donuts Ive had. I go every weekend for breakfast. The owner knows me by name. Like other people have said, you have to get in early because the best donuts go quickly! My favorite donut here is the "sour cream donut". Trust me, its moist inside, firm, almost crunchy outside, and is very rich. My other favorite is the strawberry, but its a summer specialty! Go get some of these!

Get there early! (Or just call Jordan and have him hold you some) His donuts are always tasty and his selection is quite large for a small shop. The flavors range from the old standards to the unique (like the Buckeye doughnut, or the maple bacon doughnut, both are excellent) The interior is set up nicely with little quirks, like comics to read if you are waiting in line, or posters to study while you eat one on the go. He also has coffee and milk, both pair nicely with doughnuts.

This Donut shop is small in size but large in customer service. My last visit the line was wrapped around the store. The employee fulfilling customer orders never stopped moving and filled all orders in a timely fashion. At this frantic pace he still managed to treat each customer as if the were the only ones in the store. On top of the great customer service the donuts are delicious. I highly recommend the maple bacon Donut.

There is a reason this shop has 5 stars! Its a cool little spot, delicious donuts with good variety. The owner is always kind. My little girls and i stop in once or twice a month to bring donuts to their grandma (three generations of love for this place), and even when theyre taking their sweet time deciding he is patient. Also, the coffee its phenomenal. Im glad he got large cups!

Outstanding donuts. Best youll find in Hilliard for sure, probably better than most in Columbus. Owner is a just chill guy on top of that. Support your local businesses! I really appreciate how he prices them which may sound odd. Half-dozen is $5. No tax calculations. Just hand the man 5 bucks and youre good. Thats a smart business move by the owner which really I appreciate.

Cant ask for much more from a donut factory! Timely, delicious, affordable and plenty of options. Great spot to go to surprise co-workers, just make sure you call ahead, if possible. I believe only a limited number of donuts are made each day, so dont ruin everyone elses day and call the day before.

Ive been hearing about the Lil Donut Factory on Scioto Darby Road in Hilliard for quite some time and decided to bring in a few dozen of their donuts for a work celebration. WOW - the best donuts ever! One of my co-workers even described them as life changing!

The donuts are amazing and the traffic is non-stop. The trick is to get there before they sell out! The owner is friendly, accommodating, and will toss you a few free donuts if your favorite kind isnt on the shelf by the time you get there.

Packs a lot of delicious into a small shop. A large selection of freshly-made donuts. The staff is very laid back and helpful. Coming here for special occasions is now a staple for my family. Always a line of people waiting for it to open.

The Lil Donut Factory is my favorite place to get donuts. They are freshly baked the day of and are delicious. This place is locally owned and the owner is very nice and provides great service. They also have a great selection.

Awesome donuts and awesome service! We got there at 9:30 on a Saturday and they were out already. Seeing how disappointed we were, the donuts we purchased were on the house! They just got a new regular customer!

Fast, friendly service from a locally owned and operated donut shop. Not to mention their amazing donuts are always tasty. My favorite are the Apple fritters. The geeky decor and Bernie signs are a plus.

They absolutely have some of the best donuts Ive ever had in my life. The owner and the staff are outstanding, super personable and very willing to help out. If I could give ten Stars I would.

Now my mornings are more difficult as I try to resist the pull of a perfect cup of coffee at Coffee Mess inside this place as well as the yummy donuts! Best coffee and donuts in Hilliard.
