Best donuts I've ever had. Glazed donuts out of this world. They are very soft and not cakey. The long johns are very good also. These are the same donuts that we had in Portsmouth Ohio that closed down years ago. UPDATE: I stopped by on my way home from Columbus and got very lucky. Bought 12 donuts and they gave me 12 extra for free. WOW. Can't say enough about this place and the owners. Thank you
The dark items are supposed to be apple fritters. They are burnt badly .The other items too have a burnt taste. The coffee was gross tasting bitter .I wont be returning. Zero star review.! Way to go.
Great Donuts. Me and my Mom. Been coming there since a toddler.
One of my favorite donut shops in Ohio. To me it?s a historic donut shop because it was founded in 1929. Delicious donuts, pastries, and other baked goods. Good coffee. Their cinnamon donuts are amazingly delicious. Nice and friendly service. Parking in the sides of the building. Decent prices.
Crispie Creme has always been my favorite donut spot! Donuts are always fresh, no matter what time of day, and service is great. Can?t pick a favorite because they?re all good, but I do wish they?d make the sour cream donuts more frequently! Yum!
One of the best blueberry cake donuts I?ve had!
The Best Donuts & The Best Staff ???? The Crispie Creme Donut Shop has a wonderful small-town atmosphere, and you can tell the staff care about what they do. I have tried donuts all around Ohio, in several different states, and a few different countries, but nothing compares to the donuts at this shop in Chillicothe, Ohio. You won?t regret giving them a try if you?re driving through, or making them a part of your morning routine if you?re from the area. I?ve been having them since I was a kid and they nev
Among my top three favorite donut shops in Central Ohio! Love those creme filled longjohns!
The best doughnuts in the World! Bar none! Great variety, great staff, excellent coffee and small town shop atmosphere. Just a top notch place!
Always a must stop place when we are in town! The best doughnuts ?? hands down. Delicious
The best donuts around! Great price, too! I love the drive-thru option .
Had them for the very first time an when I tell you they literally melt in your mouth, they really do! They are so good! I didn?t go in or anything I was brought a couple of donuts from here! My fianc?s dad got us some an honestly I have to say they are the best donut I have ever had!
The staff was very helpful in helping me decide which donuts to get
Best donuts my wife and I have had anywhere we?ve been hands down! These donuts hit the sweet and savory buttons perfectly! We love the Blueberry Creme as well as the Maple and Chocolate Bismarks, wow!! Grab a Baker?s Dizen today, you won?t be disappointed!
10/10 best donuts ever, is my entire families favorite!
The place looks good. It looked clean when I walked in. There was one guy ahead of me getting his donuts. There was a Gentlemen helping him. So a lady asked if she could help me. I told her I'd never been there before and that I would need a second.she didn't say anything and just stood there staring at me the whole time. I felt rushed the entire time and there was no one else in the store after the first guy had left so it was just me. She wasn't rude just felt like she was pushing me out the door. I wasn
The best Donuts our family has ever had!
This is the best donut place we have found. So fresh! The taste! 10 outta 5
Donuts & coffee, what else could you want? Donuts were really good, not too sweet, and the first chocolate yeast (not cake) donut I've had. Great old building, since 1929
Best donut place there is. I?m not a donut fan, unless it?s Crispy Creme. No other donuts compare at all.
they make the best donuts, period. you think you?ve had donuts but you haven?t. every donut you?ve ever had has just been a copy of what they make here. go, grab a few, and really taste the textures and flavors of culinary artistry you?ll never settle for the copycats again
A community staple, and a local joint you can't pass up if you are passing through. Just know that everyone knows this, and they tend to stay relatively busy, even when you would expect a donut shop to be empty.
Awesome donuts. Donut holes are my fave along with the white icing bismarks and coffee.
Best donuts I have eaten
My favorite place for donuts for years. Always a variety available and fresh. Customer service and prices have always been excellent. The cr?me filled are always my favorites
For over 30 years this has been the best dough nuts in ohio. In USA. But they have done something to the dough or maybe the greese or something aweful has happened. You could always rely on crispy cream dounts to be number one. The vanilla icing was also aweful. We through most of them away. They were just aweful. Please let us know what changes you made and why. I notice that cinnamon dough nuts and not as many turns in them. Just not as good. This was the hardest thing I have had to write. Been eating fo
Change your closing hours if you?re gonna be closed at 7
Might easily be the most consistently good donut experience in southern Ohio. Sure, it might be in an area where you feel like you are gonna get stabbed. Haven't got stabbed yet, and it's been worth the chance every single time. To be honest, even if I did end up getting stabbed, I'd probably still go back.
Employees with an Excellent attitude, very friendly- good tasting donuts at a very reasonable price
We were lucky to find pumpkin mountaintop donuts on Friday afternoon. Wow, they are delicious. They are the type of treat that you can only eat one of at a time. The cream on top is nice and fluffy. We bought them on Friday and they still tasted good on Suday, stored in the box provided.
These donuts are sooooooooooooo good!
The donuts are so freaking good. We've been to Chillicothe only a couple times and we always stop here.
These are the best donuts I have ever had in my life. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Anytime I come back to Ohio to visit, a stop at Crispie Creme is a must!! I love the fact that they are a family owned business. The staff is always super friendly and the donuts NEVER disappoint. I recommend this place to anyone I can. I will be a life long supporter of this establishment
Everyone thinks their local donut shop has the best donuts. But they don't, because we do. This place is amazing. And it's the OG in the Crispy Creme story. If you're looking for a small store with good coffee and cheap but delicious donuts, look no further. This place is full of locals, which tells you something. I think the true test of a good donut shop lies in the simple glazed donut. This one is perfection. But our family all has our favorites. I love the double chocolate cream-filled. My FIL likes th
The greatest donuts of all time! My uncle used to bring us kids donut holes every Sunday and ever since I've been stuck on them for well over 20 years and now my kids absolutely love them, as a matter of fact when given the option to go where they want they choose Crispie Creme. You'll never catch us eatting donuts from anywhere else!
If you are in Chillicothe and you like donuts, you have to stop by the Original Crispie Creme! The Mountain Tops are the best donuts on Earth. These folks are nice and the donuts are ALWAYS fresh. They have good coffee too. They have a great selection of donuts that rotates. Something for everyone!
Best donuts I've ever had! I've had all kinds of donuts and Crispy Creme in Chillicothe is hands down the best. The staff has always been friendly and always keep the donuts well stocked despite staying busy. My husband and I make it a must to stop here when we visit Chillicothe.
These are the best donuts around!!!! My boyfriend is a truck driver. The people in the office out to Springfield love it when he takes them out. And there's a guy that works at a nursery in Columbus that days that the donuts from here are the best he's ever had
I love their doughnuts they are always so delicious! Maybe just a little too delicious (according to my scales anyways). They seem to have very nice employees. They work very affectively so you can grab your doughnuts and get to where your going quickly if need be. There chocolate Long Johns are my personal favorite but all the others I have tasted are delicious as well.
The donuts are fantastic, but that goes without saying. The customer service, however, is 10 stars! I cannot say enough about how much I enjoy going there and chatting with the amazing staff. Love you all!!
Used the drive thru and service was speedy, they answered my questions with professionalism and grace. Would highly recommend these two workers for future customers!
The best glazed donuts in the world, and I've actually been around the world. Started making the hour-long pilgrimage back every year since 2020 to pick them up and take back with me to share with loved ones for Fat Tuesday.
I LOVE this place. Real doughnuts! I'm not a donut fanatic but I am for their strawberry filled ones with icing on top. Glad I don't live in Chillicothe or I would be in trouble! Update: 8/10/21 Still fantastic! Dozen of strawberry filled is $9.50.
Being from a different state, I accept the probability of never truly understanding the sub-Appalachian mindset especially as it relates to customer service and business. If a business makes a grand ballyhoo about a new limited time product it just seems logical there would be some certainty about its availability. Well... logical in most places outside Ross County. I've now made 5 - FIVE - trips to try the much hyped Pumpkin Mountaintops. And I've received 5 unrelated explanations why they were unavailabl
If you like donuts usually in the morning is when they're hot and melt in your mouth good. Even if it's not morning grab some donuts from this place you'll love them. Donuts are always better warm Pop them in the microwave for a few seconds add coffee you'll love them.
Always a great visit when I visit home!
Hands down the best donuts anywhere, been going there for 50+ years, tried donuts from all over and they are absolutely the BEST!!!
Visited once again. 64 years total. Absolutely and without question the BEST donuts anywhere in the world! (And, I have traveled the world. lol). Always friendly service!
Still has the old time look. Doughnuts were good.
BEST doughnuts ever! Fast service by the nicest people ever! Small town gem. Apple fritters are incredible and equal to those we had skiing in Aspen. I wish I could rate them more stars.
The BEST donuts. Not just in Ohio, I mean period. Amazing service and atmosphere
Good doughnuts and coffee. Fast service
Nice atmosphere, clean, friendly courteous servers, a great morning experience. I highly recommend this as a great way to start your mornings. You can stop in or go through the drive-thru.
For real..the BEST doughnuts I have ever had! I?m not a fan of cream filled but theirs is incredible! The doughnut sticks look awful but taste amazing! This place is worth the hour drive for us
This was my first visit. The donuts are so good that I don't think I'll be able to drive by without stopping. With one bite, you'll understand why they have been around for so many years!! Delicious!!
Devoted customer for over 30 years. Others cannot compare! Place an advance order for their apple fritter and discover paradise!
It's the donut shop that's been in this town as long as I can remember & their donuts are great but I wish the imagination would expand some cause they've also had the same kind of donuts for as long as I can remember. Why can't you walk in the door & buy an apple fritter whenever ? Why do you have to order them first ?
What is there not to love about Krispy Creme donuts? They are out of this world delicious, and they make my favorite donut, the cream filled with no icing on the top. I love it! And the best thing? They don't cost a fortune! (We have 2 places close to where we live that sell donuts, and one is an Amish place that charges $20.00 for a dozen donuts, and the other is a Mennonite store that sells their donuts for $15.00 a dozen. No thank you! We will always take our business to Krispy Creme!
I love their raspberry donuts! To obtain the freshest donuts you should get them as early as possible. Donut prices are a decent price. Also, their coffee is great.
Best donuts in the area all the donuts are good and delicious, they have great prices and the hot drinks are good also! I can't stop in Chillicothe without getting these donuts! And they give military discounts.
So for awhile I had decided not to buy donuts because they were under par for the best donut shop in town. I always loved there donuts but they had changed them. Now today my son pic up donuts from crispy cream and they are just like they use to be and now I?m back on team Crispy Cream!!!!
Crispie Creme Donuts are hands down the BEST donuts in Ohio. I drive 50 minutes from Columbus on a monthly basis to buy a dozen. I grew up in Chillicothe, but moved to Columbus as a teen. I am consistently bringing friends down to taste these donuts. They don't believe me until they take a bite and hear the story of how this is the REAL Crispie Creme Donut. There are many great donuts in Ohio.. but no shop comes close to the Mountain Top Donut or Creme Filled Long John at Crispie Creme Donut Shop!
Crispie Creme is the best...there is nothing else in comparison. There's a reason that they've been doing business since 1929. Good smells, good taste, clean shop, friendly hostess, prompt service, even from the he parking lot to my car...no other donut compares. Parking lot is always full. Hometown Chillicothe people and those who come back to visit know where to go...last price dozen $8.75; half dozen $5.00. Crispie Creme...the taste of the town...a go to for events, Civic clubs, church functions, always
Best donut shop on earth! Wont eat no other but my hometown crispie cream donuts. Glazed donut holes the best w/ coffee! If you never had a donut from here your missing out!
We didn't make it before they closed. So, we'll stop tomorrow to pick up our dozens of donuts before we go back south. We didn't get to get the donuts and the lady was PO'ed they the away out donuts! And blamed us for the waste! We still wanted those donuts, we were bringing them home with us.
It has been awhile since I've been there, so I go thru and get a coffee, hoping it would be like I remember, but nope it was the worst tasting coffee I ever tasted, I threw it out by the time I hit the alley. I will never get coffee there again. Donuts are still good tho. That's why I gave it 3 stars.
Great place to get coffee and doughnuts. They are priced pretty damn good especially for a local business and not even 5-10 minutes away from franchises such as Mcdonalds and Tim Hortons. Their coffee is pretty good as well and better priced than most local businesses. Staff are friendly and the drive through staff take the time to get your order right. Get the apple fritters and microwave them for about thirty seconds and you will have gold on your plate when you eat it. The drive through can be pretty pac
Excellent staff, funny and patient. Donuts ??... dude ?? ?? ??. So damn tasty , I was shocked. Soft, plump but not to filling. Seriously good pastry here people
Best donuts hands down!! A favorite at home and at work!!
These donuts are the best around! It's worth the small detour into downtown Chillicothe to stop and grab a dozen (or two)! There's a drive through for morning hours when they are really busy.
I love this donut shop. The employees are great, service is great, the drive thru window is quick, even when there are vehicles lined out to the street. The donuts are heaven
There simply is no better donut than those at the original Crispie Creme (without the K) Have a chocolate mountain top with a milk...or the best coffee around! This local family owned donut shop will never disappoint!
If you aren?t getting your donuts from crispie cr?me, why are you even thinking about donuts? This place is a local favorite, an icon if you will. I don?t mess with any other donut shop in southern Ohio. This place is for the Chillicothe OG?s. Don?t sleep on them pumpkin donuts, they?re wild. That cappuccino isn?t anything to skip over either. Overall a 5/5. Donuts! Get ya donuts here!
The best doughnuts, ever!! They make their doughnuts right here at this location! This is the true Krispy Cream doughnuts! My brother worked here back in 1977, right out of high school! You haven't had a fresh Kristy Cream unless. You stop here! The prices are half the price that they are in Columbus, where they have them shipped in! Parking is in and out! I take them home and freeze them and let them thaw naturally, and they are just as good as when you bought them! Yummy! Time to make the doughnuts!!!!
I am completely biased. I grew up in Chillicothe, and my dad would bring home these donuts occasionally when he got off work at Wearever. I haven't lived there since the late 90's, but to me this is the proper way to spell Crispie Creme. Their cream is the best, and anytime I'm driving within 10 miles of the place I drop by, grab a dozen mountaintops, and let my A1c numbers fall where they may (or rise, in my case). I occasionally enjoy their raspberry and strawberry jelly filled, too, but I've always loved
The donuts are good but the service is not consistent. Depending on who serves you...you may get a dozen or a bakers dozen, you may be limited in your selection or you may get your choice of donuts. Very disappointing when the rules are different each time you go.
My home town ?? donut shop! I make SURE to stop in every time I come to town. I wish they had more stores, closer to Baltimore. The "other krispie" is good, this is BETTER! Old fashioned donuts at old fashioned prices. I hope they never change. I need my STIX!!
Best donuts ?? hands down. We travel 40mins to get donuts when we want them. I figure if we?re gonna eat them why not eat the best.
This is an historic place in chillicothe and used to be the donuts you ever ate. The last time I went there the restaurant appeared dirty along with the waitstaff. The donuts didn't taste right, like under cooked. Such a shame, used to be a 10!
Nifty old-school donut shop with a coffee bar. Seems popular with the older crowd. The donuts were on point! And they lady knows how to mix the coffee cream n sugar just right!
Very reasonable prices. Fresh donuts throughout the day. Open early and open until late. Good java. A few counter seats. No public restroom. A Chillicothe tradition.
Pumpkin donuts!!! Fudgies, my absolute favorite! Very, very busy place today!! Pleasant atmosphere. Great service! Great donuts and coffee!! I highly recommend Crispie Creme Donuts!!! ?????
Best donuts in Ohio and the surrounding states and all the people who work there make you feel at home. If you have never ate here. You need to put it on your list of places to visit
Simply the best donuts ever!
Do you like fresh baked dough? How about friendly smiles as warm as the coffee? If either of these appeal to you then look no further, this little hometown treasure is just what you've been digging for.
Grew up in Chillicothe, couldn't resist stopping for my favorite doughnuts. Although they were out of mountain tops. The ones I got, were yummy...But didn't have them long enough to take any pics...
Best donuts and coffee anywhere. Relaxed small town gathering place. Some call it "the office" some say "club donut" the sign says Crispie Creme. 5 stars out of 5!
The best donuts in the world. The original Crispy Cream from 1929. You can't beat them. You know you want to try it, you will, and you'll love every bite...
