Customer Reviews

Royal Donut offers good quality donuts, but overall, it isn?t anything particularly special. While the donuts are tasty and well-made, the experience didn?t stand out as exceptional. A decent spot if you?re looking for a solid donut fix.

I was in the area and went for a quick cup of coffee. I also got a donut because they looked so good, and man, was I happy I did. The coffee did not impress me, but the donuts in the afternoon were so good. They have a drive up or park and go inside setup with multiple tables to eat at. The service was quick and friendly, and I am planning on going back down the road. If you found this review helpful, please give a ??

November 2022: Made a donut run for the office and wanted something different. Furthermore, I had heard rumors about their pumpkin cake donuts and had to check it out. Pros: * Good donuts that are not overly sweet. I did stay away from the icing (heavier glaze) covered fruit filled donuts. * Eat-in area and donut prep area appeared to be clean. * Friendly cashier who answered all of my questions and was patient with me. She quickly notified me that the glazed honey bun was priced differently than the small

Surprisingly good donuts. Better than the grocery-store take-out case variety. Completely lacking in ambience and decor. But that's the point. It's a place for retired folks to gather and shoot the breeze. Some have potty mouths. Not nice.

This place has fantastic doughnuts and has for the decade we have been going here. They are the epitome of what a classic doughnut shop should be. You can absolutely taste that they are made fresh.

Midwest donuts! This place is a must stop on your way to work or just passing by. It?s part of what makes the local surrounding area of Parma great. You get a sense of time traveling to a simpler time walking into this slice of Americana. Great coffee, excellent donuts and more than likely the staff has been awake hours prior to your visit and will welcome you with a smile.

A little Cleveland/Parma favorite among donuts enthusiasts! Stop in for a variety of fresh baked sweet treats! Yes! They even have their famous pumpkin donuts fresh and ready to be boxed! They have apple fritters, huge cinnamon rolls, an assortment my classic donuts! They serve coffee and tea. They have limited seating inside and accommodate for COVID-19, they also have outdoor seating available. This is directly on State Rd just before Snow Rd. Its definitely a locals favorite!

Royal Donut offers the very first donut I ate as a kid and is the only place in town that I will go get donuts at, since nothing else compares. Their chocolate chocolate cream donut and eclair are hands down the best donut I have ever eaten and the only ones I get when I go in.

Helpful Staff. No menu of offering so you?ll have to zoom in on my pics. Summer hrs last picture 7-26-24

I've been going here for over 40 years. Believe me when I say that nothing has changed. These donuts are legendary and I'm eating one right now!!!

The staff is very friendly and the donuts are great & always fresh. And still cheaper than everyone else.

They have amazing donuts! They?re always really fast and friendly every time I visit too.

Nice little shop. Reminds me of when I was a kid going to get donuts with my grandparents. Employees are very friendly. Lots of donuts to choose from.

Best Donuts around!!!! Do yourself a favor and drive here immediately for a glazed twist!

Closed even though the hours on the door said they were open. Not sure if this business still exists as it was pretty dark and abandoned looking.

Amazing local bakery. Every donut was fantastic, great dough consistency and enjoyed each bite. The blue berry was absolutely divine. The cake was scrumptious. The lady who cashed us out was super helpful and pleasant. Coming back here soon :3

I LOVE Royal Donut! Their donuts are high quality and the best! If it says jelly or cream, you better believe they are FILLED with jelly or cream! No skimping here! Service is good and they work hard to please you. I have yet to leave Royal Donut unhappy unless it?s when I go there and forget they are closed. LOL. I?d love for them to consider a jelly donut with jelly in it similar to Dunkin? Donuts. Just a thought?

I stopped here before work one morning and I?m glad I did. I got the jelly filled donut (iced) and a blueberry cake donut and they were fresh and delicious. The donuts were soft and sweet but not overpowering. They have a drive thru option which was very convenient for me. The staff were very polite and friendly. Excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Good donuts and they are always friendly.

I grew up here used to like there doughnuts haven't been here in a awhile but as far as I know they STILL bake there doughnuts in the back. (Lost art) all others bake somewhere else than have them deliver each day . Anyways haven't been here what's with the hrs they open tue at 5am? It's sun morning when's this place open used to be 2/47!

I brought these donuts into my office of about 50 people and everyone loved them! I was told they were tasted fresh and had great flavors. Royal donuts was super easy to make an order with a phone call and my order was ready at the time I wanted to pick it up. I will definitely be buying again.

These donuts are so good!! The apple fritter alone is reason enough to come back.

Hands down some of the best donuts I've ever had. The dark n dips are my go-to, but their cake donuts could win an award. Unlike some of the other donut shops in the area, these cake donuts have actual flavor! I don't know what kind of magic they are putting into their donuts, but if you're from the area and haven't tried them, then you are missing out.

I visited during an off time mid afternoon. The shop was impeccably clean. It LOOKS like a donut shop. The employee was friendly, and my order was accurate. The cream filled donuts are delicious - special of the day was banana cream- yummy. The cost is average for the area. I will definitely drive the 25 minutes for these fresh donuts again. BTW, there is a drive thru here, so if you already know what you want, this is a bonus.

I love these donuts but unfortunately we paid 29$ for 2 dozen from the drive through. We opened the box when we got back to our destination and we had a box of 12 then a box of 6. We should have received 24! Very disappointed because we paid for 2 dozen donut! We should have checked the boxes before we left. Make sure to double check your donuts before you drive away.

Parma?s best!! Their blueberry cream and strawberry cream donuts are beyond perfect. Great prices. I love the homely feel you get when you walk in to the store. The staff is so nice and helpful!! If you feel like spoiling yourself, this is the place to do it.

Love this place. It?s like a little step back in time. A very cute store. I personally like this style of donut the best..it?s more of a cake donut (Dunkin style) as opposed to the krispy kream donut. In my opinion MUCH better than either of those places. The coffee was superb too. The clerk was very nice and classy. A very happy experience for us. I wish this was closer to where I lived because I would be there everyday.

Great donuts especially the fruit filled.

Nostalgic doughnut diner stop, we tried the classic glazed, seasonal maple, and the snow job. All were fabulous! Next time, I will need coffee to dunk in!

Great place , great donuts! They made my sons day and mine too. I ordered 2 dozen donuts from them, for my sons bday and they was so sweet enough to write happy b-day on some of them. Which was a awesome surprise! Thank you for showing you guys care. Definitely a customer for life.

Classic donut shop. Can?t get more authentic than a place like this.

Love the donuts especially on fat tues

Mom and pop donuts shop and has been around for many, many years! I had past by this shop many times over the years then one day I just stopped in and I am hooked. Better than your national chain store, the vibe, the workers, and the customers Everytime I visit, I see many regular faces that meet up for coffee and donuts discussing events, life while drinking their cup of joe and having their donuts. Very friendly and their lemon donuts are the best! They also have bagels and specialty type donuts such as

Went here with my wife in the last year. The donuts were of good quality and the service was good. Didn't try the coffee because it looked like there was nothing freshly made at the time we visited. I give this place 4 out of 5.

Small little shop that I hit up on the way to the airport. The glazed donut is among the best that I've ever had! Melts in your mouth the way a glazed yeast raised donut is supposed to!

If you just want great donuts (coffee isn't bad either) without over paying this is the place to go. If you want (sometimes) slightly better donuts & want to over pay there is always Jack Frost. I spend my $$ here, you should too

1st off, allow me to say I came here upon reviews on Google that I had read that were positive. However when I got there my experience with their product was not so positive. I was looking for twisted or rope Donuts. Most commercial places no longer sell them, only the regular glazed kind. Prior to arrival, I called and asked if they had them in stop. They said yes. So around 9:30 a.m. I show up to get the donuts and they're stale. That's something I would have expected at 9:30 PM, not 9:30 AM. I will not

One of the best maple cream Doughnuts I've ever eaten and the coffee is spot on too!! ?? ?? ??

The donuts were delicious. We had the coffee donut, pumpkin donuts and a bunch of different ones for the kids. ????

Stopped in today for the first time! Got a dozen of donuts and a coffee. Both were excellent! Loved the double chocolate donut?? one of my boys said it's the best he ever had!

This is a real donut shop. What you get here are the taste from your childhood. They have many varieties to choose from even apple fritters. The coffee is real good too and they have hot chocolate if that's what you like. You can go inside to order and take it to go or stay and sit at one of the tables. They also have a convient drive up window you can use. The employees are always friendly and quick filling your order. I much prefer this type of donut shop compared to some of the chains, their donuts can b

i love the blueberry donuts! the best donuts in the cleveland area!

Royal donuts been my Saturday morning routine for sometime now. Good donuts reasonably priced overall good experience we enjoy them.

We ordered 4 super fresh and tasty doughnuts (white and chocolate creme eclairs chocolate iced custard filled and glazed chocolate cake) & 2 frosty cold chocolate milks. Deliciously smelling coffee I definitely want to try some next time we go. Reminds me of my childhood.

My go too donut joint! I love the fact their independent and still in business! Old good friend had the Mr Donut/Donut connections around the area and could not compete with the big boys and had to close, so kudos to Royal donut for maintaining!

I waffled whether to give this two or three. I?ve been passing near or by this place for years and always wanted to try it. Many locals raved of it too. Finally had an excuse today. Went in to just get two donuts and a coffee. No biggie anywhere else but I don?t carry cash and there?s a $5 card minimum. That itself doesn?t bother me but they will refuse anything under $5 and not charge a 50? or 75? fee as many other places do - I LIKE that because it still lets me just use my card and it?s not all that muc

Exceptional donuts made onsite unlike most if not all of the chains out there. The donuts are so fresh, its great there are still places like this around!

Long line for donuts on Sunday morning but it moves quickly. Lots of variety. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and now I come to get donuts with my kids to take to my parents. Word to the parents out there: If you want sprinkle donuts on Sunday morning, get there before 9am.

The filled donuts have tons of filling; creme, custard, jelly! Got a dozen assorted donuts and everyone is loving them.

Absolutely love this locally owned business! Great service, amazing donuts! Always look forward to their monthly selection!

A good variety. They have a special flavor or two every month or so. They don?t have crazy flavors like a cereal one or anything like that. They also don?t have the mark up price. Haven?t had a donut I didn?t like. Bring cash for small orders. Nice customer service also!

Pretty and polite staff. Donuts are excellent never stale. Coffee is avg. Atmosphere is older and family.

Best donuts around, love to support local businesses and they don't get much better than Royal Donut. Always fresh and made right there in the kitchen.

This place has very fresh doughnuts. They have varied hours now, so they are not always open when you think they would be. If you are going, you'll need to check when they are open.

I came in here tonight after a long day at work; I wanted to treat myself, and my parents, too. WOW! I AM SO GLAD I STOPPED IN HERE! Nice, clean facility, with the delicious smell of tasty bakery and freshly-brewed coffee filled the air, as soon as I walked in! The young man at the counter who greeted me, picked my order, and cashed me out, was extremely pleasant, helpful, and courteous! As far as the doughnuts/bakery goes; an A+ ALL THE WAY! You simply won't find better doughnuts in the World! I've found y

I?ve been coming here for the better part of 30 years & never had a bad experience. I?ve moved out of the area but have been back in town more often as of late and love the new specialty donuts they offer as well. If you?re visiting the Parma area, are craving donuts, grab a dozen from Royal. Great prices & great customer service as well (they mix my coffee half capp half coffee ??) 5

Made fresh daily. Love that! They have the best choco filling around! Way better than Dunkin! Jack Frost is good but Royal Donut is my fav go to place. You get more bang for your buck here than Dunkin or Krispy Kreme.

Hold on tight while opening the side door, and prepare yourself for a symphony of delicious decadence. The name Royal Doughnut does their product no justice. If it were under my control, the name would be compromised of a lot of capital letters and a few lower case, but definitely a ton of exclamation points. The product here is always fresh and goes well with any sugared recreational beverage. Be prepared, no bow hunting allowed on property.

Wow! There's a larger selection of donuts in here than the major chains! I came in here the other morning for the first time and there was only one lady behind the counter I think her name was Jenna and even with a lot of people in line she was moving so fast! Great job!

The staff is very nice and the donuts are awesome. The cherry frosted donuts are my favorite. It's made fresh every day and I have not gone in there and not had a bad donut.

I just moved here and l Iove trying the local places. These donuts are fantastic and I will absolutely return for more.

My kid is obsessed with the chocolate sprinkled donuts. I stop there about 3 times a week (when passing) and try to get him 1. They NEVER EVER have them... every day they tell me they are sold out... the girl today said "they always sell out". Dont understand why they dont just make more. I feel like all business owners should strive to grasp concepts like supply & demand. In the past month I've stopped atleast 10 times and not once did they have any. Additionally the last time I got donuts in the drive thr

I absolutely love this donut shop. Their bagels and donuts are phenomenal. Always fresh with friendly service ??.

Always great service. Great donuts awesome selection.

I have two benchmarks for a donut shop: Boston Cream and Eclair. A properly made eclair is a thing of rarity in these parts, but the Boston Cream is the best around. They have enough parking, and a seating area inside as well.

One of the last remaining " old school vibes " donut shops. Where old men gather to talk about the weather and read the newspaper over coffee and a donut . Everything is delicious and fast service

Great local donut shop. Always has donuts out. Rarely have I gotten a donut that was crunchy or hard. Reasonably priced. Plus, they have lotto!

I used to live down the street from there

Support your local companies. Place is better than any Dunkin or sbucks you've ever been to

The best donuts we have had in Cleveland! The blueberry cake donuts were amazing. Everything was fresh and perfect.

Still (after many, many years) my favorite donut place. Never had a bad donut yet - always fresh. One of the few places that sells an apple filled cinnamon donut.

Love doing local buisness a solid. Everyone who enjoys donuts knows this is the place to get a variety . No kiddie type sprinkled donuts here. Good coffee tt !

Cold donuts @ 8:30AM. Apple fritters with no apple at all, just flavor. Felt rushed through the Drive-thru. Place looks run down.

They have excellent donuts, but I'm a tad confused. It's called ROYAL donuts, but as I passed through the gates into their kingdom, there was no fanfare, nor a king on a throne. Maybe I'm just used to how we do things in my kingdom, but nobody bowed before me when they saw who I was. Word travels fast between kingdoms, and I feel as though they should know who I am. I demanded a free donut, but to no avail I had to forfeit my rubles. I was also instructed to take off my chain mail and sword. What's a knight

Outstanding local outfit. Fresh at any time of the day. Try the cinnamon, they are amazing. Coffee on point as well. Highly recommend

I don't care for these donuts. They are a bit dry and taste werid to me. But my kids liked them. The atmosphere is not very inviting very either.

This place is always good. Donuts are always fresh. I've never been disappointed. If you've never had it, try it!

Locally owned and operated! Amazing fresh donuts! Hot coffee!! Very patient with my 6 year old daughter.

Always out of donuts ! Sign on door out of donuts selling coffee only

I come here every so often and have yet to be disappointed! Great donuts, service, and prices.

Oil needed to be changed in the fryer, very strong oil taste in the dough. Would need to try them again after an oil change to see how these really are.

Love Royal donut I don't go there anymore cuz I'm trying to shred some weight but what I do need a quick breakfast that's the go-to place and it doesn't matter who wait on you everybody's friendly and I like it

Employees were very attentive and polite. Helped me get the perfect donut selection for my father in law.

I love this place! Great donuts and the staff are awesome, always smiling and happy to see you ??

This place has been here for maybe 50 years. They make donuts fresh every day and have the best Glazed, French Crueler, and darken dip

First visit today. Quick service, friendly staff, fresh coffee and tasty donuts. Takes cards, if you were wondering.

I was there on the 4th of July about noon the donuts were hard as a rock I got a dozen and a half and I've never had Donuts like that from this place whatever they're doing to change the cooking process they need to go back to the old way cuz I will not be back until they do
