First, let's get to the donuts… Most themed donuts can be very overwhelming with artificial flavoring, sugar, icing, etc… but Charley's hits the sweet spot on delivering on the theme whether that be S'Mores, Pumpkin spice, waffle dots or any other new flavor they come up with while also having very fresh and perfectly balanced flavors. When you just want to have that classic glazed donut, the OG Glaze is there to hit the spot. There is not a single donut, dot, or cake in their lineup that you could go wrong with.
My top donut choices are actually many of the vegan options, which I never thought would be possible for me but Charley's works magic with these (the vegan funfetti and the vegan maple cinnamon sugar are hands down the best donuts I have ever had, period).
If you can't make it to a farmer's market, or just have a special event that you want to impress your guests, I cannot recommend the custom orders enough and to let Charley's have creative freedom, you will not be disappointed. My wife and I ordered a batch of dots with a particular flavor in mind but we followed his recommendations and they turned out with a presentation better than we could have ever hoped for and were blown away by how good they tasted and our guests couldn't get enough of them. It was above and beyond our expectations.
Lastly, I have to say that the owners are some of the most amazing people and wonderful family you will ever meet and it is an absolute joy catching up with them at the Granville Farmer's Market each week. They truly provide an experience that makes their booth our first...
Read moreAs a dedicated patron of Charley’s for over a year, this review is long overdue but Charley’s makes, hands-down, the best donuts we’ve ever had! First off, the donuts are huge! They are substantial enough to split across multiple people (although they are so good you won’t want to share). Second, they are so flavorful! Flavors range from classics like OG glazed and chocolate old fashioned, to things like s’mores, chai biscoff with bookie butter, and maple cinnamon sugar (just to name a few). The donuts are always so moist and delicious (especially the shh vegan ones) and we genuinely look forward to trying new flavors each week at the farmers market. Also if you are seeing them at the Granville farmers market, don’t forget to grab a cold brew latte! Caramel is my fav! Charley’s also makes dots (extra large donut holes), scraps (extra pieces of donuts), and waffle bites (self-explanatory). I mean, how creative and resourceful - no food waste! This time of year has me craving fall and Charley’s delivers with their apple fritters. Seriously so good! Lastly, Charley’s offers custom orders for events! We are such Charley’s fans that we purchased a couple orders of dots for our son’s first birthday party. Darrin was so accommodating in helping us pick the best flavors and honestly, our son much preferred the donuts to his smash cake (the boy has good taste). Overall, we absolutely love Charley’s and recommend them every chance we get! Charley's...
Read moreI loooooooove these donuts. Our family loves the OG glazed, Melba dots and all dots they come out with.
Big fan of all their seasonal specialty’s too.
For Christmas we ordered a bunch of the cinnamon dots/bagged them in twos and gave them out to friends as parting gifts at our holiday party. It was a huge hit.
It’s all the cutest family that makes them/serves them at the farmers market.
Local staple I am grateful we have...
