The Gyro Cafe

Mixed reviews on the cronuts: The cronut tasted like a glazed yeast donut. Huge and not bad, but I wouldn't spend $4 on one in future- personal opinion. I've had some excellent cronuts with more of the croissant flakiness I've come to expect from this unique crossover, though. My partner enjoyed the cronut with drizzled chocolate. Pros: My blueberry cake donut was incredibly good- top 20% of blueberry donuts I've had. Service was incredibly friendly. The gyro only took about 5 minutes to receive. The old counter diner feel was cute. Cons: I tried a bite of the steak gyro my partner ordered. I love gyros, but this was a burger wrapped in pita bread. Overall, the food was a pass for me. For $30 for two people, I want to walk away feeling the food was better than fast food and unfortunately, that's not what happened here for me. I know they are best known for their buckeye donut, which several people ordered while we were eating and clearly enjoyed.

Buckeye Donuts...either the location on campus or South High st is the way donut shops USED to be. The campus location never closes to my knowledge Staff on osu campus location can be hilarious to watch. They have more than just donuts...gyros, chicken sandwiches, burgers and of course DONUTS. They also make donuts for other donut shops in the area that have decided it less costly and dangerous to have Buckeye make donuts than make them themselves. You really need to check them out if you want an honest donut (raised or cake) at a decent price. Best time? I'm partial to the 2:30 am crowd on campus. Interesting people watching.

Came to Columbus for my daughter's birthday stopped in an gas station and the attendant highly recommend Buckeye and I am so glad we stopped. My daughter and niece received free donuts for their birthdays which was a great surprise. Now let's talk about the donuts. We got a variety of donuts including the yeast, red velvet, lemon and a bunch more. Although all the donuts were delish their yeast donuts are hands down the best yeast donut I have ever tasted. Now every time I am in Columbus I will be stopping by.
