Customer Reviews

As a dedicated patron of Charley?s for over a year, this review is long overdue but Charley?s makes, hands-down, the best donuts we?ve ever had! First off, the donuts are huge! They are substantial enough to split across multiple people (although they are so good you won?t want to share). Second, they are so flavorful! Flavors range from classics like OG glazed and chocolate old fashioned, to things like s?mores, chai biscoff with bookie butter, and maple cinnamon sugar (just to name a few). The donuts are

First, let's get to the donuts? Most themed donuts can be very overwhelming with artificial flavoring, sugar, icing, etc? but Charley's hits the sweet spot on delivering on the theme whether that be S'Mores, Pumpkin spice, waffle dots or any other new flavor they come up with while also having very fresh and perfectly balanced flavors. When you just want to have that classic glazed donut, the OG Glaze is there to hit the spot. There is not a single donut, dot, or cake in their lineup that you could go wrong

I loooooooove these donuts. Our family loves the OG glazed, Melba dots and all dots they come out with. Big fan of all their seasonal specialty?s too. For Christmas we ordered a bunch of the cinnamon dots/bagged them in twos and gave them out to friends as parting gifts at our holiday party. It was a huge hit. It?s all the cutest family that makes them/serves them at the farmers market. Local staple I am grateful we have in Granville!

Without fail, Charley's Donuts are fresh, flavorful, and fun! It's worth the trip to Sister Salvage to pick up some of the best donuts my family has ever eaten.

Truly some of the best donuts I?ve ever had! I?m not vegan but often choose the vegan donuts over other options because they are so good. Also love that they have such unique and fun flavors.

The OG is the most delicious donut anyone in our family has ever had! Can?t recommend them enough ? they are delicious and one of the highlights of living in Granville!

One of the magical elements that makes Granville so incredibly charming? each hand crafted donut is more fun, interesting and DELICIOUS than the next! We did a mixed dozen and loved them all!! Can?t wait to see what these two come up with next!! It?s a MUST try (warning: addiction likely)

Charley?s is our absolutely favorite glazed donut! They?re always fresh, doughy, and delicious. We drive almost an hour to get them? they?re that good!

Absolutely the best donuts I?ve ever tasted. Twice a month, we road-trip around Columbus/surrounding areas to find a new place to try. Vegan or regular-you won?t be disappointed!!! Fantastic owners with friendly-service and simple ordering. Can?t wait to try more!!

We love Charley's Donuts! The selection is amazing and the convenience of delivery sets them apart from the rest. Definitely recommend.

Awesome donuts!!! They always brings big smiles, from the first bite to the last crumb!!! Love them!!!
