Tremont Goodie Shop

My family grew up in UA but moved out of state many years ago, whenever they're back in town I always make a special trip to the Goodie Shop. The donuts are a blast of nostalgia and just as good as I remember them being over 20 years ago. The maple & cream long johns are particular favorites of ours. Can't beat this Columbus staple!

I was introduced to The Original Goodie Shop as a first year student at Ohio State in the late 1980's. When it comes to small, family owned brick and mortar bakeries in the Columbus area, they are, quite simply THE best (love Resch's too! ❤️)! Their cakes, doughnuts and pastries NEVER disappoint which explains why they are a central Ohio institution! For the last two years I've driven from Licking county to indulge and it's well worth the trip. And the holidays wouldn't be the same without their charming and yummy variety boxes that I give as gifts every year. I've NEVER been disappointed. However, I have to be honest. I find the fact that they actively encourage their patrons to add gratuity ..... tacky and honestly..... offensive. The Goodie Shop has always been expensive and rightfully so. The quality is well worth the price. But when I'm paying $2.75 for each of my two dozen cookies, I don't appreciate having to confront a gratuity screen on the kiosk while the young cashier waits for the tally. I find that sort of pressure garish and below the bar for such a reputable and classy space. I don't tip the cashier's at Weilands Market (who do much more physical work that simply putting cookies in a box), nor do my dry cleaners have a jar on the counter with a hand written "TIPS" scrawled across the front. Sales associats in a bakery shouldn't have to depend on gratuity as a wage. I can only hope that they're paid a decent hourly wage and that anything extra that may be left by a patron is merely a kind gesture, but the fact that I'm prompted to pay even more every time I use my credit card makes me wonder if that's the case. Please take the time to ponder my suggestion that you end this practice. I'm far from the only one who finds it distasteful. ❤️

I've tried it once about a year ago and haven't been back since. The shop is small and gets crowded. The staff are ok but it appears that you really need to know what they make and know what you want before you get there. Now, that being said, they have an online menu that tells you what they make. Not all are made daily, some must be ordered. The reason for 3 stars is because my experience at the shop itself didn't inspire me to return, apparently ever. However, the 3stars are primarily for the owner and the way she handled my feedback. I paid with a card and received an email receipt. The system the owner uses sends a survey attached to the email receipt. When she recipients my feedback on being dissatisfied, she provided an explanation, an apology and an instant reversal of payment for the item I didn't like. It showed immediately on my online statement for that particular card. That's serious customer service and support right there. Now that I'm thinking about it, she can have 5 stars just for that and I may go by there one morning after work and get something else to try. So, initially I was giving 3 stars but thought about the high level of professionalism from the owner and decided to use some kindness.

Ordered a custom cake for graduation and it was beautiful and tasty! They did an amazing job. I got a vanilla cake with chocolate icing and filling and a custom message. I also asked for them to add a graduation cap which they added perfectly. The cake was well priced. Thank you so much to “The Original Goodie Shop” for making my graduation day all the better 🎓☺️

A surprise in the best way possible : ) A couple weeks ago, my sister woke up early and brought home ½ a dozen Maple Persians with nuts. She knows they are the only donuts I like (love actually hehe) and haven’t been able to find them in Columbus ever since I moved here a few years back. I thought, “Surely, she didn’t make the 3-hour drive to our hometown to get these?” And I was right! Turns out, she contacted The Original Goodie Shop to ask if they make custom orders. She said they were so happy to try any order she asked. And OMG… not only did they try, but they were also 10x better than any Maple Persian I’ve EVER tasted!! That is the whole truth and nothin’ but the truth! I’d recommend this bakery to my dearest grandma if she were here (and she’s picky!) The donuts were delish and the people were just as sweet : )

We used the Goodie shop for our wedding on 9/16/22. We have been working with Emilie since last year for tastings and getting the perfect cake for our wedding day. Emilie was amazing. She was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process! She even helped with delivery last minute when we ran into some problems with pick up. The cake itself was incredible with perfect flavor. We went simple with white wedding cake with almond frosting and all of our guests were talking about how amazing it was! We will be using the goodie shop for future dessert needs and recommend them to everyone!
