Square Donut — Restaurant in Omaha

Ever since COVID-19 hit the area hard, I’ve been doing what I can to support local establishments. I recently moved into the area and even farther away from my go-to donut joint. While a Dunkin’ is readily available...yeah, no. Not interested in Dunkin, Krispy Kreme or any other copy and paste place when it comes to a quality donut.

I was thrilled to hear about Square Donut having opened nearby and ordered a special dozen for the day after my move. The selection is fantastic but the quality and flavor found in SD’s creations are what sets them apart from most in the metro.

They offer more traditional fare like glazed and cake donuts while also catering to those who dig a more “gourmet” approach without going overboard. The sinfully succulent caramel apple fritter and savory maple bacon are the way to go in that department.

Their service solidifies them as a member of not only Omaha’s elite bakery community but among local eateries as a whole. Custom orders and letter donuts for special occasions are welcomed while the owners have shown an impressive amount of appreciation for their patrons.

SD has knocked all expectations out of the park. Let them do so for you in the near...

Over the past few months we have come here several times. The donuts themselves are worth a 30 minute drive once in a while. The glazed donuts are super light and the flavored/decorated ones are pretty sweet if that’s what you’re into. However they FREQUENTLY sell out and close early. I believe they make everything for the day in the morning and they don’t want to waste unsold donuts at the end of the day, but they are definitely cutting themselves off from a lot of sales by doing so. I would recommend placing a pick up order ahead of time, however for some reason they have a policy that you have to place your order days in advance and pick up your order before 10 AM. Not sure if they just resell your order or if it’s in case they close early or something but to me it just makes it not worth the product itself. I’m not sure if all these policies they have are coming from their corporate owners since it’s a franchise, but the owners and staff are super friendly and nice when we come in and I believe once they get a better idea of their business flow they should be able to not sell...

I heard this place has the best gluten free donuts. I was very excited as gluten free are hard to find. As I am looking at their website so I can order some, I read at the bottom that they are fried in a shared fryer! That means these donuts will have gluten in them because they will pick up some of the gluten in the oil from gluten containing donuts. I am very disappointed! Honestly, why even bother having gluten free donuts on the menu if you are just going to ruin them in the cooking process. Gluten is not killed in the frying process. I am beyond disappointed and so glad that I found this out before any were brought in by co-workers.

Thank you for replying to my comments. I do really appreciate it! I also appreciate that you clean the oil before frying the gluten free donuts. You might want to add to your website that although the fryer is shared you clean the oil lines before cooking to prevent further misunderstandings like mine. Again, I do appreciate the reply to...
