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 smaller pumpkin cake donuts.

It’s better if you’re just bringing in a box of a dozen for work - and that was not me today.
I won’t be back. The old geezers who carry cash and live in a dead and dying world can keep the...
Read moreI 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 yet ANOTHER reason to love Cleveland/Parma! (Oh, and maybe I won't share with my parents, after all! 😉😂) Thank you all at Royal Donut, for sharing your passion and hard work, and making this world a...
