Haute Donuts

Reviews Summary

Haute Donuts receives mostly positive reviews, with many praising their unique 50-layer donuts for being flaky, flavorful, and expertly crafted. The strawberry hibiscus and lemon varieties are standout favorites. Some find the donuts too sweet or messy, while others criticize the texture as bready or stale on occasion. Vegan options and creative flavors (like garlic parm) impress, though prices are considered high by some. Service is generally friendly, though inconsistent. While a few complain about freshness or value, most agree these are exceptional, artisanal donuts worth trying, especially the layered varieties. Traditional options like vanilla glaze receive mixed feedback.

Customer Reviews

The strawberry and hibiscus donut was absolutely delicious. The donut dough was fluffy and soft. The strawberry flavor was strong and didn?t taste like synthetic strawberry.. All the flavors were traditional but elevated. I will be coming back to try some of the layered donuts in the future.

It's easy to tell that these donuts are the product of someone that really knows and loves what they do. You'll find a few donuts on display every day, like a traditional glazed vanilla bean, a classic chocolate sprinkle, and their signature classic strawberry hibiscus. You'll also find some specialty flavors rotated daily, always a kaleidoscopic treat for the senses. These include the sweet, and the savory. These also include their 50-Layer donut varieties. And what do you know about chocolate chips?

I had a craving for an apple fritter so I headed to Haute Donuts. Unfortunately they didn't have them so I got a vanilla bean glazed donut and on a whim I ordered the 50 Layer Caramel Apple. The glazed donut was really good, very solid and very large. Much larger than your normal donut. As for the 50 Layer Caramel Apple...my goodness! I was not prepared for how good this was. I have never been so happy that an establishment didn't have what I originally went there to get. ?? I don't know if I can explain h

First time trying this spot. And it didn?t disappoint. The donut flavors rotate daily. Pictured from top left clockwise in the box picture are the 50 layer double lemon, vanilla glaze, pecan swirl, and chocolate sprinkle. I tried a little of all and the crowd favorites were definitely the 50 layer and chocolate sprinkle. The 50 layer lemon was so flakey and tasty. Sweet with tart lemon filling. I recommend trying any of the layered donuts though because the texture was light yet dense ? Amazing. The chocola

The donuts are pretty good. I do not recommend the donuts that have filling as there is always way too much filling inside of them and it just sprays out everywhere.

These donuts are absolutely amazing! Best donuts I?ve ever had. Well made and super fresh.

Seriously the garlic parm donut is the best donut I have ever had. It is sooo good. I?m new to eating savory donuts, so I was a little hesitant but my god I?m glad I tried it. I went to the Van Aken location and the woman behind the counter was so nice. The recipe for both the 50 layer donuts was incredible. So flakey and made to perfection. Highly recommend trying any of the donuts. I also got the strawberry hibiscus and chocolate peanut butter that was so good too. TRY THESE DONUTS, it?s a must.

MAY 2024: First time eating here, and we ried two 50 layer berries and cream pasties and one 50 layer white chocolate raspberry pastry. I call it a pastry because while it is shaped like a donut, it's more like a flaky pastry with creamy filling inside of it. At $4 each, we paid $12 total for them. PROS: * Tasty pastry that wass slightly a bit too sweet, but I kinda expected that going in. Delicious ?? treat that my body can not indulge in everyday * Speedy service. CONS: * It was a bit messy for me due t

These are not your ordinary donuts?these are special. The 50 layer donuts are a work of art. Flavors change regularly. I?m a sucker for anything with the lemon curd or strawberry. Highly recommend!

Honestly, it was the best donut I ever had. It was so good, I would even consider making the trip out to Shaker Hts from N. Ridgeville, to get me some!! So delicious!

Wonderful addition to the Van Aken Market hall! I was nervous at first but this place does not disappoint. I recommend any of the 50 layers donuts, the lemon and blueberry. I look forward to trying the strawberry. If you are ordering for a family I would like to mention the price of these donuts may be surprising, I believe we order 3 donuts for $11-$12. Our daughter wasn?t a fan of her chocolate donut but I believe it?s because it was dark chocolate and not milk chocolate.

I have bought donuts there seven or eight times now since they opened. This area was in need of such a place. Love the standard frosted sprinkles and vanilla glazed, plus her versions of a cross between a croissant and a donut (50 Layer) are delicious. Wonderful flavors that change daily. Highly recommend!

I've never been much of a donut fan, but man do I love Haute Donuts. In the past, I avoided donuts because they're too sweet, too rich. As an amateur baker, I was intrigued when I saw another customer eating a tall donut. It wasn't wide, just tall. That could only mean one thing....they're laminating their donuts?! Oh, now I had to try it. I got a few options: the 50 layer lemon poppy seed, the passion fruit lime, and the vanilla bean glazed. The lemon poppy seed is reminiscent of a laminated beignet that h

I like to stop by this place every now and then and every time the donuts are fantastic!! The owner really dedicates herself to coming up with cool new flavors while sticking to classics as well. You can certainly tell that the donuts are freshly made every morning. You can't beat their prices either. There are even vegan options available!! Lovely store with friendly faces and great donuts!!!

Amazing culinary creations of both traditional and non-traditional takes of donuts. The donuts have their own unique bite and texture not seen with other donuts shops. Whenever I am in Cleveland I am definitely making a return pit stop here!

Honestly?I?m a transplant from LA and have had a hard time finding a really good donut. I had a glazed & a pineapple/strawberry jelly donut and they were EXCELLENT! A little heavier like a Cronut but absolutely delicious.

Very poor quality donuts and very expensive. I bought half dozen and they were left over from Saturday. They do not make the donuts fresh especially on Sunday morning. One of the two girls had an attitude and the other one was very sweet.

Very tough texture...like chewing a bad cut of steak at $3.50 each. Not worth the $ or the calories! Grocery store donuts in the plastic container beat these. I'm looking for a melt in your mouth donut on Cleveland's East Side. Help!! This is not it!

The doughnuts are exceptional-light, fresh, a wonderful mix of traditional and creative flavors, and always just enough, not too much goop. This is my weekend go-to treat.

Tried one of their 50 layer donuts (glazed vanilla bean) and it was awesome.

First time at Haute Donuts. Flavor, texture, mouthfeel, and presentation are second to none! I will drive out of my way to get more Haute Donuts!

Incredible flavor combinations and amazing presentation. I could easily eat 20 of them. Also, the manager Alyssa, total spitfire. Will be back!

The vanilla bean donut is their go to donut but it was just so so

I was excited about the flavor combinations but unfortunately the donuts themselves taste like bready hamburger buns.

I don't believe this place is actually open anymore.

These donuts are insanely good.

Very tasty and delicious donuts.

Best and very unique donuts

Great vegan options and non vegan options. Best donuts around

(Translated by Google) Delicious. (Original) Delicioso.
