Customer Reviews

This is the best donut shop in the state. - signed Long haul truck driver who takes advantage of the fact that DOT officers love good donuts.

The owner is the sweetest lady with a nice welcoming demeanor. The donuts are fresh and taste great . There is a huge variety that would suit every taste . From sweet , cream filled , frosted , glazed , fruity , double chocolate to their signature hoho that resembles a hostess cupcake . Coffee is fine but f you like it light . They can make the place for functional with smaller tables and different chairs but they are focusing on the donuts which is fine by me . Most staff at many establishments I?ve visite

If you opened a donut scene in the middle of a desert, a city would form around it. Any donut / cookie you have ever had anywhere, they make it twice as good. Shout out to the owner for making them fresh every morning, and George (I think is his name) for working those night shifts and helping me out when I?m there. I don?t know how they make money with how affordable they are, but they are the best donut place I have ever been and it is not even a little bit close. I have to buy an excessive amount for my

I purchased 4 apple fritters. The one that I ate was soooo greasy that it almost made me sick. It was literally saturated in what tasted like old oil. The other three were not saturated but had a very slight after taste of oil. I'm not a fan. Maybe this was a one-off, I dont know.

I used to come here all the time when the donuts and staff were enjoyable. They are now dry on the inside greasy and wet on outside. Next the staff. The lady with brown hair always has a ?stink? face when talking to you. I miss the old days.

Love this place. Have come here many times on a Saturday or Sunday morning and the donuts are always fresh and taste great! Good pricing too.

Worst experience i have ever had at a donut shop. Service- Terrible, the lady that served me came out from the back after me standing there for atleast 1 minute with a scowl on her face and then asked me what I wanted. No greeting with a smile or anything. Presentation - i purchased 5 dont for myself and family and once I arrived home I noticed ALL 5 of my donuts were either smashed together or falling apart because of how they were placed in the paper bag. Again, it looked like the lady in the front was

I have Been coming here for over 30 years, used to be so fresh and good. The last three visits (varying times from early morning to late afternoon) donuts have been dry and taste like they are a day old. I even asked if they were just made and fresh and told yes. They have been so bad they get thrown out. Thought I would give it one more shot this morning and same thing but even worse the maple cream stick tasted sour, not sure how long it had been sitting around but it looked as bad as it tasted. Will

The single best donut experience in town. My wife and I were looking for a local donut shop after we moved, and we found our mecca. It was fantastic. The cinnamon roll donut was legendary. I am so happy.

Hands down, the best donut shop you'll go to this year. Not a fancy place with exotic donuts...just a non-descript storefront in Strongsville with all the standards. Prices are great and they're open all day, every day.

Best donuts in the whole town. Maybe even the whole world. Fresh donuts daily. My first time in here, and I was impressed.

My first impression after visiting today - Mom and pop type donut shop. Retro, intimate counter service with seating available. In a strip mall between chipotle and pulp. Apparently Mother?s Day is a very busy holiday for donut shops, but the dozen I bought was were all fresh. We are impressed with the quality - my mother, a donut connoisseur, says she will be returning even though there are many other donut shops closer to home. Bravo, Donut Scene

We love this place! Donuts and cinnamon rolls are the best. Very fresh. Staff is so nice.

Horrible service Jammie I believe her name was. Was straight rude to my 7 year old daughter giving her nasty looks whole time my daughter was figuring out what she wanted. Will not be back. Donut was dry anyway.

Soooo good!!! And open 24 hours!!! The employee was very helpful and kind about allergies and the donut was amazing and fresh especially for 11pm lol

Used to be better. Got an apple fritter today and it was drenched in grease. I swear you could have put a straw in it and slurped the grease out. I stupidly ate it because I don?t like wasting money. I hope I don?t get sick.

This place makes their own donuts unlike other places we know about. And they have really cool round swirly chairs. Come here for a nice cup of tea and delicious donuts. And they are open 24 hours. I love that about this place. We need more places like this.

It?s very rare in this day, that you find an actual bakery that makes real donuts, and this is the place. The choices are amazing, the sugar is everywhere and I wanted to buy out the store. I grew up with real New England bakeries and I?m very impressed by this establishment. I?ll def be back?.

I ordered Donut Scene for family from out of town and did not receive the correct donuts! I had ordered sour cream donuts and didn?t receive them. I called Donut Scene and they refused to help me. I will NEVER order from Donut Scene again as their workers don?t know how to correctly put donuts into a box.

The lady behind the counter who helped me and my son today was incredibly kind and thoughtful. The donuts were fresh and delicious. I'm picky about apple fritters- not only was it excellent, but the lady asked if I would prefer a softer or crunchier fritter! (Crunchy fritters all the way) We don't normally visit this part of town, but we would definitely make the trek back for an occasional treat from this place.

Amazing donuts, always hot and good coffee, and the friendliest service. Wonderful classic hometown feel. Open all the time! Pass up the Big Chain Donuts place up the street and come to Donut Scene. The prices are better, and the donuts are WAY better. You?ll be happier!

VERY DISAPPOINTED!! Order was all messed up. Muffins were raw inside, 1 of them had a hair coming out of it, I didn't order a jelly donut. The only thing that was okay was the cherry cake donut.

Amazing donuts. Friendly and local shop with great staff.

UPDATE YOUR HOURS ONLINE SO PEOPLE DO NOT WASTE THEIR TIME DRIVING TO YOUR BUSINESS JUST TO FIND OUT YOU ARE NOT OPEN 24 HOURS! And maybe remove the 24 Hour sign next to your door.

Great people and the best donuts! Highly recommend.

We had donuts delivered so I don't know how to rate atmosphere, but atmosphere has to be great at a place that makes such amazing donuts. We had filled blueberry, strawberry, lemon, apple and custard. First the donuts are fresh and good amount of really tasty fillings. We also got cruellers that were incredible. Fresh, tasty and all to die for. If you haven't tried this lace, you don't know what your missing. Definitely recommend this donut shop.

Donuts and cookies were good. This is the type of place where 80 year old men hang out everyday and drink coffee. Very outdated inside. Unorganized and the staff wasn't friendly.

I was so happy to find this donut shop. They are open 24 hrs a day. The sour cream donut is the best I have ever had. The cherry donut was so good too. I also had the chocolate cream which is a round chocolate cream stick. I have had donuts in my 50+ years but they really are THE BEST. I don?t give many reviews, but I had to share this experience. Also, the lady who took my order was so kind. Very thankful they are around.

i?ve been coming here since i was a kid and i just love ittttt. i?m literally not even a donut person but i crave these donuts so much. the staff?s always been super nice too!

NOBODY wears hair nets or gloves which is pretty gross but i gave it a try anyway so. -donuts feel like they have sandy residue on them -They also stick the donuts in the box in a way so all the frosting comes off and your just left with donuts with half the frosting taken off and all at bottom of box - The Lady at counter made me very uncomfortable and looked at me weird. she just seemed like an angry lady. I felt like I could not comfortably order or request that the donuts would not be stacked so smushe

Canceled my order with no explanation after waiting a very long time. Probably treated better if you go in person.

Delicious 24/7! Who doesn't love a good Donut at Literally Any Time You Want! Donut Scene is open 24/7, the staff is always kind, and the store is a perfect size. Overall the donuts are great! The Chocolate Covered and Maple Donuts are my favorite still. They do have other treats such as In home made Cookies that are nice crispy cookies. Recommend passing by for a morning donut or a dessert at anytime at night!

Dude donut shop that is open 24/7 !!! Do i need to say more? Haven people, haven. That?s what it is!

The donuts were fresh and they had an above average taste. These aren't my favorite donuts but that is preference. I found no fault in any that we ordered and they were executed well. Next time we are driving through I might try another place but I would be happy if we ordered here again as well. I will note that loading both ends of an ?clair with cream/custard is the sign of a good donut shop. Kudos.

Tradition at its finest! Been going there for 30 years! Try the coconut!!

DELICIOUS!!!! Fresh, soft, tasty donuts. I?m definitely put

I used to always be loyal to another donut shop. But recently their quality has been pretty disappointing. So, I decided to give Donut Scene a try! The donuts were phenomenal, both fresh and tasty. My kids and I may make Donut Scene the home to our weekend donut habit. ??

Literally the best donuts I've had. They're so soft and fresh! The filling is perfect in each one of them. I've found my fave donut spot for sure.

If everything was going wrong in my life but I had a single donut from Donut scene, everything would be perfectly fine. One of the few foods I can eat that will change my whole mood. Warning: very addictive!

Friend picked up a dozen for our poker game. By far the freshest doughnuts I ever ate. Very good !!!

When traveling up here from Columbus, Donut Scene is a must stop! They have the best apple fritters I have had so far. Donutland in the area is also good but in second place in my opinion. Going today to try something new. Had their pumpkin muffin last week, really good!

A group of us stopped in here after tobogganing on Sunday and we were not disappointed! Lots of donuts to chose from and they were so fresh! The dough was perfect. Soft and chewy with great flavor. Can't wait to stop in again when I'm in the area!

I wish we lived closer! We're donut fanatics and can say these were top notch. Just finished off a cherry cake that was so delicious. Glazed and jelly filled also a hit. Looks like we'll be taking the drive from Canton again soon.

This place is a strongsville gem. Great, fresh donuts in a friendly environment. 24 hours a day, a tasty treat awaits you! The variety and flavor can't be beat!

Gross. Wash your hands! The store is rundown and outdated. The gentleman behind the counter was handling money in the tip jar, and used the same hand to put inside of my brown paper bag to open it up, and then proceeded to use his hands acting like he was using a piece of parchment paper, but touched every one of my donuts with his money hands, and just to be rude we paid, but immediately threw away the donuts, as we would like to avoid getting sick.

This place is open 24 Hours! How crazy is that!! I love how unique it is and how friendly everyone is. Their donuts are the best I have ever had and highly recommend the custard ones and also the maple donuts. They also have fritters and cookies. It is such a cute little shop that is a big part of the community!

After several years of being a loyal customer for my cherry donuts, I went to a Jack Frost today that made me realize donut scene is the best especially when it comes to the cost. Have you ever heard of paying 3.15 for a donut. ??. Donut scene knows better than their competition.

There's NOTHING like a freshly baked donut. You won't get that at DD. This place is awesome. Some of the BEST tasting donuts around. They even make Donut birthday cakes to die for! We have been getting their birthday cakes and there are never any leftovers. People just gobble it up! Donuts are not expensive at all. Great selection, delicious muffins & good coffee too.

It was the ? We?re open 24hrs? that attracted me to this place! I get there and the staff was friendly, not a bad selection of doughnuts and the prices were reasonable, could?ve stood to use a little more glaze on the cinnamon rolls but otherwise not terribly to bad. Next time maybe try going thru the week, instead of a Early Sunday morning because the doughnuts that Sunday didn?t seem so fresh, although they microwave pretty well

Phenomenal! The donuts and the owner?s brother! Best donuts around, especially the blueberry donuts. Owner?s brother (former owner) walked the donuts out to my car with a smile on his face and such kind words! BEST IF THE BEST!

So I DON'T like donuts, but this place has AWESOME donuts! It's my first time here and I wanted to try a Boston cream. The cream was super tasty, very light in texture. The chocolate ganache was yummy, not too sweet. The flavor of the donut itself was nice too! The prices are FANTASTIC! I said, "wow it's so cheap!" A gentleman from the back said, "no not cheap, we're inexpensive" which gave me a laugh ??. My nephew got a double chocolate muffin & said, "pretty tasty." So try this place out! Yummy desserts,

The best donuts in the area! Always fresh no matter when you visit!

The lady working the counter is horrible. While I stood in line she badmouthed all DoorDash drivers to the customer she was helping saying how everyone is "Too lazy to get out of their cars or do their own shopping". Then When I was leaving I said that the doughnuts smelled delicious and after she walked away i could hear her badmouthing me to whoever was in the back. What a disgusting lady.

I wish I could have recorded how rude the old lady working the donut counter was. I had never been here before so I wanted to try it out with my boyfriend. We asked for two donuts and she was LITERALLY scolding us. We were the only two in the store. I thought she was joking at first but she was not. I asked her if something was wrong and she just yelled back ?im tired? will never ever be going back here again! I told her we are done when she snapped at us again, and took my money elsewhere. It looks like bu

Ordered off of DoorDash per the gentleman that is usually there. He told me to use the apple fritter to get the pineapple upside down cake. I called her and explained that but they said there is no cake and the only thing I can get is the apple fritter. I explained that my son?s allergic and can only have certain things and she says that?s what I have to get anyways so now I just wasted my money. I normally have a really good experience with them and previously had a positive review. 12/26/22. Won?t order a

I'm not sure who the woman is that works the later shifts, but I could not be more disgusted with the service. She is extremely rude, not helpful at all, and she stopped my business entirely. Of my multiple poor experiences, one stuck out. I called to order a donut cake, and she was so rude on the phone, telling me to call back because she had "all these people in here"... I took my business elsewhere and will likely not go back. The donuts are fine, but they're just as good elsewhere with far more friendly

I am obsessed with a good donut. Have had them from shoppers in cities way to numerous to count. Hands down Donut Scene is the BEST. High quality, great selection, and excellent people.

Service was decent. They're open at 4am Friday, so I was able to pick up a special breakfast treat for everybody. Donuts were pretty meh. I would try somewhere else next time, assuming anyone is open! More early donut places, please!

We?ve always had good donuts, but this time the donuts were small. The cake donut was so small with barely any frosting. Plus it fell apart when I tried to eat it. Why can?t we just give the customer what they pay for anymore? Why does everything have to be half the size. Such a huge disappointment.

Probably the closest to actual time traveling you?re ever going to get. Like stepping back decades when you could always count on the small neighborhood donut spot to make the best donuts you?ve ever eaten. This is the place. Some of the most impossibly delicious bakery around.

Donuts ?? are good but employee who serves is very rude and doesn't have patients when filling up a box! Put a smile on your face and treat people with respect! Customer service is #1 priority . No wonder the place was empty when arrived.

Love that this place is 24 hours! The guy was pretty dope at the time I went there it was nearly midnight. Good pastry?s and good donuts, I had taken a nice drive from the town I live at just to stop by and see if the place was that good. And totally did satisfy my needs as well as my girlfriends.

24 hr service! I love not having to worry about there not being fresh, delicious donuts at the ready any time of day or night! White cream are the best, but all are superior to the likes in Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme. Proud to work in the surrounding area and patronize this place whenever possible.

Friendly! Donuts are tasty and cooked all the way through. Quick service. Parking lot is busy, but traffic moves often. Plenty of seating.

Im a huge donut fan. I?ll always stop and try new donut spots. My girlfriend and i are driving by and i see ?donut scene? I?ve never heard of this place before but we decided to stay faithful to our commitment even though we just had ice cream at chic fil a. We walked in not knowing what to expect and 3 older gentleman greet us at the door telling us how amazing these donuts were. Longer story short, they were AMAZING!! Fresh donuts at 3pm! Can?t ask for more! A MUST TRY!

Donut scene is a classic. Cheapest donuts you will find for such delicious donuts. The coffee is good too. I like the french (spritzkuchen), peanut donuts, bran muffins, banana nut muffin, the cheese danish, other danishes, everything really

Went to Mapleside Farms for a tour and they served us the most amazing cinnamon sugar donuts. Now, I live (and grew up) literally 2 block from Jack Frost Donuts - they won the local best donuts award thing that Cleveland does. I was not expecting much when I was handed this donut on our tour....yet, after I took my first bite, I was convinced I had found the perfect cake donut. Jack frost is excellent, but their cake donuts are heavy and dense. This cake donut was soft, moist and, dare I say, fluffy? I

Best donut and pastry location in Strongsville. The donuts are always fresh and taste delicious. The muffins and pastries are great as well. There are plenty of tables to sit down and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

These donuts are absolutely amazing we ordered an array of them and all were spectacular. Keep up the good work.

The floor was sticky, the inside of the shop was gross. The donuts aren't any better than Giant Eagle, and at least that place is clean. The lady behind the counter looked like she hadn't showered in days and was rude to customers. I would never return!

Here's the deal: The service is good and the quality of donuts ranges from good to great depending on the time you get them. That being said they don't adhere to covid standards, which is a huge issue given the incredibly small size of the store. While they do have a sign saying you have to wear a mask per the state mandate once inside they do not enforce it at all. I go in almost weekly to get donuts for my staff and the same 6 to 8 old guys are sitting around a table maskless, some at the bar right next t

First time visit to Donut Scene and not disappointed at all. 6pm and the donuts were the freshest I?ve ever eaten. Not overpriced either. Absolutely a must have when I?m in Strongsville. A+++

Terrible owner. I'm a long time regular commercial costumer. They started shorting me donuts in my large orders. Then have the nerve to argue with me about it. I picked up a box during my last visit. Box felt like a feather. Only 3 donuts in the box. Owner insisted it was full. Either extremely dumb or extremely rotten people. They're a big time "want to be " shop. Feel sorry for a business going under fast.

I just went for the first time and was blown away. It's an old-school shop uncharacteristically out of place in between a Chipotle and Bruegger's Bagels. But what an absolute gem! The donuts were excellent and really fresh for even a Saturday night at 5 p.m. I will drive out of my way to go back.

The best donuts I ever taste

When in to get some Kolachies and the looked horrible and tasted just like how they looked, the raspberry jelly tasted like nothing, but the peanut butter and oatmeal cookies had to much sugar in them. They should?ve put some of that sugar in the Kolachy. Also the oatmeal cookies tasted burnt. Just gross sugary burnt cookie. I don?t know what happened to this place it?s going down. The ceiling looks gross, garbage on top of the garbage next to the door. Windows wasn?t clean the door handle felt gross too.

Always consistently fresh and delicious! Great variety of super yummy stuff to choose from at reasonable prices and served by very friendly people. Huge bonus, they're ALWAYS OPEN! THANK YOU DONUT SCENE IN STRONGSVILLE!!

Really good doughnuts, not open 24 hours as advertised. Tried to get in the other day as the sign said 24 hours and there were people inside. The door was locked and the people inside were actually very rude about us thinking they were open. Very unnecessary attitude and poor false advertising on their end.

Came here with my friends at 3:00 AM and its the best doughnut shop in Ohio the lady was very nice too! Will be getting more for my family now. The lady even offered to make me some doughnuts that were not available which was very nice of her :) thank you so much :)

Boy is this place a gem. Looks unassuming - from the outside you're probably like "...meh..." but trust me when I say you're going to want to buy your donuts here from now on. Incredibly delicious, great deal. We always get 6 for $5.50. Bring cash!

Donut scene your donuts are excellent and thank you thank you well worth the price giant eagle charges sixteen ninety nine for a dozen will never get again just yoursEXCELLENT

I just visited Donut Scene in Strongsville with two of my guy friends. I offered to pay for my friends? donuts (both of my friends are male and I am a female). The lady behind the counter was extremely rude. She was not wearing a nametag, but she was probably in her late 40s / early 50s and had long brown hair and was wearing a baseball hat. I did not catch her name, but she immediately talked down to me after I had offered to pay. She asked me how I was raised and then went off on an extremely unnecessary

Always the best donuts!! Fresh and delicious! They are open all the time and the best donuts ever!! This is where we get donuts from, the white & chocolate creme are delicious!!!

Best fresh doughnuts in town!! And they?re open 24 hours just in case you get a sweet tooth in the middle of the night!

The doughnuts tasted like they were fried in old oil that needed changed. Sadly, I won't be buying again.

TL;DR, this place is great for six college kids going on an adventure at 1 o'clock in the morning after an impromptu album listening party... it was a wild time and perhaps a bit reckless because we had morning classes in about 8 hrs, but it was worth it because Karen is awesome and donuts are amazing my roommates came back to the room with three random boys in tow... at 11:30 at night... so we all hung out and had a great time! we listened to Post Malone's new album and then the fateful moment arrived...

Second time I have gone here. Good donuts but every single time I ask for cream filled I end up getting custard. Seems rude to rip open and check right in front of them. Also seems like that is the only option. I?m annoyed about it. Probably won?t go back.

Delicious donuts! I keep coming back! Really nice folks working there too!
