Customer Reviews

I?ve been wanting to go here for a while ? and it didn?t disappoint. Cool vibes, super friendly workers, and the cinnamon sugar donuts are my favorite. Perfectly soft and just the right amount of sweet. You can tell they care about the little things. I really want this business to stay here, so let?s support them and keep Daylight Donuts in Gallipolis thriving. I?ll definitely be back. Would recommend.

Always fresh and the owner is super sweet. Before my Dad passed away, he was always down there tearing up those bad boys. I dare say it is far better than Krispy Kreme!

Nice little shop with friendly staff! They even had a gluten free donut for my wife.

I love their version of the croughnut. It's unique in our small town, so I order one almost every visit. They are not open every day, so make sure you go during the second half of the week. It's worth it!

Worth the hour drive for! The best donuts in the tri-state. The maple glazed are to die for!!!

Great local donut shop, I only wish they had better hours

Good sized donuts, moist, well glazed and flavored, good service, good donuts, good atmosphere. 4/5

Best doughnuts in the area! Amazing people!!

My English teacher brought these in for class today and I ate a vanilla cream donut 10/10 would go out of my way to get more

Daylight Donuts always has the best donuts, especially the pinecone's.

I am not a donut fan, they?re usually too much goo with not enough donut. But Daylight Donuts are perfection! My personal favorite is the cronut, like a croissant donut! But I?ve tasted pretty much the entire menu and am never disappointed. Not only do they feed my belly they feed our communities spirit, always involved and helping our community grow. Highly recommend just don?t eat all the cronuts ???????

Very good donuts that are a bit pricey. They have horrible hours though. They close at 2:00 pm. They are missing a lot of business by closing so early. I know a lot of people (myself included) who would grab some evening donuts. I am used to donut shops with much expanded hours. I am not aware If they offer "old" donuts at a discount either. Most donut shops I have frequented in the past offer "old" donuts once or twice a day. I gave them 4 stars because of these issues but I would rate the quality

The donuts are amazing! However gotta give 2 stars due to inconvenient days open. Makes more since to be open Monday-Friday to run a business...not when convenient. My only complaint that could easily be fixed.

I go down to Gallipolis to visit family but haven't made it there when they are open. They close at 2. This time we made it! Sure glad we did! Scrumptious! Delicious! The best I've ever tasted! We're from Columbus which has no shortage of donut shops, but this place puts them all to shame. The owners are extremely nice folks. Will stop every chance I get.

The donuts are amazing and the lady at 6am is so friendly and nice and explained everything to us! We enjoyed them so much we will definitely be back next month when we are down at the French 500

Coffee and donuts were delicious!

We love this place.....best doughnuts ever. Very sweet to my grandsons....

Stopped in at 8am, donuts were already stale.

Staff was lovely. I'm not sure if it was just an off day but I got a variety of cake donuts and they were possibly the worst donuts I've ever tasted. Whole family couldn't stomach more than 1 each

Great donuts and friendly service. They didn't have the filled donut our daughter wanted so they filled ones for her right away. We stop in here whenever we are in the area at breakfast time. Great food and drinks. They even have a drive thru!

Some donuts seem dry and not super fresh, although I know they make them fresh daily. Maybe frozen? Idk! But glad to have the option in Gallia.

Great experience. Such a great variety and even offered to add items to donuts, if I wished. Staff so nice and personable! And they were all delish!

I am from Pennsylvania, so I had never heard of Daylight Donuts. The donuts are very good.

Really good donuts - fancy to regular - at good prices and friendly service. As they say it's "something to crow about." I visit every trip to Gallipolis.

Extremely clean place and very nice people. Puts other doughnut shops to shame! Doughnuts, coffee, cappuccino, frappe's, fudge, and a variety of drinks. We will be going back!

very odd hours, even more odd days for when you can get Crullers. but the staff is nice and the Cruller's are amazing. (Though Tim Horton's are softer)

MUST TRY Maple Bacon and the Buckeye doughnuts they are SOOOO GOOD !! Definitely worth every penny.

I just found out that these donuts existed. Purchased today and they are delicious. Staff was so friendly. Will definitely purchase more.

They have pretty good donuts, they are a little pricy and they don't have a big selection. They are only open later in the week and close early. If you get there late, there's not much left.

I ordered 3 dozen of the Fancy donuts on Friday and picked them up Saturday morning. They were a big hit with my church group! Thank You

Haven't been to Gallipolis in years but went to visit some family and discovered this little donut shop and wow it was definitely a diamond In the ruff . Will be back next time I am in town

The staff members are great! So patient & kind when you're trying to decide which of their amazing donuts to get. ??

Donuts are good, hard to get fresh. Prices are okay but it's not a value or great deal. Hours are terrible. Employees are rude.

First time visiting Daylight Doughnuts. My family loved their doughnuts and my wife especially loved their fudge. I purchased a variety of both and liked everything.

I love Daylight Donuts. The people are great and the donuts are phenomenal!

Great doughnuts get there early if can

Friendly staff but the donuts are way over priced. I won't be buying here again.

I love the doughnuts... if you can get here at an open time. The hours are terrible!!

Great service and have Black Rifle Coffee in stock to compliment best doughnuts in town.

Great Black Rifle coffee and the donuts are better than the Amish. Stop anytime we are in the area.

It's alright. Menu feels a bit limited. Especially on drinks

Best donut shop in Southern Oh.io since Jolly Pirates

Good selection of different donuts. Everyone I bought was delicious!

First time there, very good donuts, we will be back.
