Lil Donut Factory

Pretty good doughnuts. Filled my missing meal void.
Looks like most selections were gone by the time I walked in though. Will have to try again earlier in the day.

Pumpkin Donut, best ever!!! This was my first time here and won’t be the last for sure. I have to try every donut!!!

Yes these donuts are delicious. I got the glazed, apple fritter, red velvet, and a Bavarian cream filled. The glazed are-I’m gonna say it-​better than Krispy Kreme. Honestly they were all phenomenal. It’s in a vary unassuming place. You’d never guess they have such wonderful donuts.

These donuts are delicious! My son (2 years old) was soo happy!!! The guy working was very friendly… Told me all donuts they had to offer and being patient while I decided on my bakers dozen!

Stopped by because of all the good reviews, expecting much better than we got. We purchased a dozen donuts and recieved 13 for the bakers dozen which was nice and the price was very reasonable. However there was nothing really special about any of the ones that we bought. The cake donuts were ok but a little dry for me. In all an average donut shop

I love this place– Some of the best Donut’s in the 614. You gotta get there early though, because once they sell out, they close up shop. When I lived out in Hilliard, I would swing through here many times. Love the Red Velvet, Jelly Filled and the Chocolate Frosted. Its a small place, right next to a Gas Station, but its well worth coming out to Hilliard if you have the donut fix.

We love this place! The pumpkin donut is the best I’ve ever had. My daughter loves the cream filled. Great place! Good coffee, too.

This place could be a tad bit hard to locate, but once you do find it, it’ll keep you coming back for more donut-​ey goodness.
Stationed in a storefront next door to a Sunoco gas station is Lil Donut Factory. A Donut shop, which caters to old fashioned donuts as well as it’s own unique flavors and contraptions.
Inside is a slight nod to a mecca of nerdiness, you’ll see superheros plastered on the walls and framed memorabilia. Stickers of wit, political views, and hilarity fill the void of space on the side of a donut case. Inside this case you will find your hearts desire of donuts.
The owner is of the younger age, which young entrepreneurship is awesome. Especially in something like donuts. It’s not just for your Grandma and Grandpa who have been slaving away at the mixer and ovens for 40 years, you dig? He was friendly is letting us know about his operation. The Dude makes over a thousand donuts daily. THOUSAND… THooooouuussssaaannnd.
If it’s your first time, then get an assorted half dozen, or if you’re really a glutton, then just grab a full dozen… get down with your bad self.
The ones that really stood out for me were the Crème filled, chocolate frosted. (Long Johns is what I’m used to calling them). Also, they had a Red Velvet Cake Donut, which was interesting and unique on it’s own, but seriously, you can’t go wrong with just a sprinkle topped donut, which is undoubtedly a personal nod to my inner five year old.
All in all. it’s a great place for some good donuts on the Hilliard Outskirts.

Allow me to indulge you in a donut fantasy. *sigh* I love good donuts, no scratch that, great donuts. I use to compare every sugary donut confection to Krispy Kreme because that was my staple… But no longer. The Lil Donut Factory is freaking amazing. The original glaze is so soft, sweet, wonderful (it’s like unicorns made these for pixies!). *sigh* and warm… If you get them warm Oh My!
And then there is my all time favorite combo ever… The red velvet donut! Cake texture, moist, glazed then drizzled with cream cheese icing!!! Oh I can lose my soul to this donut! It’s slightly sweet with the touch of cocoa even before the glaze and icing. This baby is to die for!
If you want a good donut made by hand (did I tell you the guy that owns it makes them himself? I forgot that part huh.) get to this place fast. They only stay open while they have product. So once all the amazing donuts are gone… That’s it, game over. You gotta get there early. Go, go now!

Lil Donut Factory is one of my favorite donut places because the cake donuts are very moist and rich. I had high hopes for the maple bacon but was a little disappointed. The bacon crumbles were kind of chewy & greasy. A candied bacon would’ve worked a little better. My favorite is the peanut butter cream filled one. My only complaint is that they are NEVER open when I go because they’re sold out. I am there at 8am & it doesn’t matter if it’s a weekday or the weekend; they’re sold out. I am sure the owner works really hard by himself, but it makes me sad to pull up & see that «another sellout day» sign every time.

Awesome neighborhood shop serving real donuts that taste great. You’ll forget that Tim Hortons or your grocery store ever even tried.
If that’s not enough, it’s a bakers dozen. Try that at Kroger’s.
Worth the trip to Hilliard to find the place.

Never disappointed when I go here. Picked up two baker’s dozens for my department, everyone enjoyed them. My favorite doughnut is the cruller, the Lil Dount Factory makes them just right!

Went to this place last weekend, and having just ate Buckeye Donuts the weekend prior — it was easy to tell this place is far superior.
I think its a 1 Man show also, which points out this guy is busting his butt!

I love this place! Close to home, small local shop.
The best part of this place is the baker’s dozen. You get 1 free when you order a dozen.
The owner is a great guy as well, always friendly, always there!, always willing to help you in your choices if you get stuck. He has also given my a few donut holes for my pups if they are in the back of the truck bed.
The cake donuts are the best. I don’t care what you say. They are the king for dunking them into some coffee. You can’t dunk the fluffy donuts, no way!

I can’t believe that I haven’t left a review for this amazing family owned business sooner. Jordan, the owner, makes donuts that are out of this world. I’m a fan of the red velvet cake donut with cream cheese glaze. My kid loves the chocolate long johns. They also have a maple bacon long john which sells out very quickly. I love that it’s always the owner, and usually his wife, working the counters. And their adorable son is ofter there too.

If you don’t live in or around Hilliard, this is an easy place to miss. They don’t advertise much, they don’t get a lot of local «buzz», and unless you drive past Scioto-​Darby road on a regular basis, you won’t notice them tucked in next to a gas station and a service center.
The Factory is on its’ second owner, but the menu remains mostly the same — fritters, sour creams, filled donuts, and several types of yeast and cake donuts, but the new baker has added some fun options like red velvet and an occasional Buckeye special.
They offer coffee and cappucinos, but it’s pretty basic donut shop /​automatic machine fare. That said, you’re getting some tasty stuff and solid, if unremarkable coffee first thing in the morning. What else do you need?

Best donuts I’ve had since being a kid and going to a local bakery outside Chicago. I have passed this place a ton of times and been meaning to stop — I’m glad I finally did! Chocolate glazed cake donut was awesome… best I’ve ever had. Cinnamon roll was very good, but not the best I’ve had. Too bad they don’t make chocolate long johns without any filling… that is my favorite.
Best donuts in Columbus. Awesome!

This is just a great local donut shop, and sort of off the beaten path. They put out some newer stuff like maple bacon and red velvet cake donuts, but even the standard glazed or cinnamon donuts are really good.
My wife swears by the buckeye donuts, they are terrific.

I’ve meaning to stop in here ever since they opened and I finally had a chance this morning. I stopped in a week ago around 11:30 and they had sold out by then so get here early like at 6:30 and no problems finding your choice.
I tried just two of his donuts to get a taste at what he has. I went for a Boston Cream (my staple taste test) and a peanut butter icing/​filled donut. The Boston Cream was decent but not the best I’ve had. The cream was a little sparse for me and didn’t have quite the flavor I enjoy. I am a Dunkin fan when eating these. Now the Peanut Butter one was great. I really enjoyed eating it. The donuts themselves are pretty tasty. I tend to like my donuts are little lighter and fluffier as these seemed to have more of a «chew» to them. I would choose these over my other donut options in Hilliard but not the best in Cbus. I plan to head back and taste test a few more. my 2 donuts cost $ 1.05 a piece while a plain glaze would set you back $.85.
The coffee is just a basic roast from a Lambert distributor (I think I have that right). I didn’t try any today since I had a free one waiting for me at Speedway (It’s free and decent) and only $ 2 plus change in my pockets.
I would recommend stopping in here as the owner seems to be a cool guy as we chatted a little bit. He seems to love what he does and runs a decent operation. They close when they sell out or at 1 pm.

What a great find…
This little shop is located on the rough streets of south Hilliard, and it would be just as home in a truck stop as anywhere else. But, looks deceive. Just don’t drive past it. If you see the gas station, you’re at the right place.
The proprietor appears to be the main worker too, and I got the impression he gets up early every morning to make the donuts and then sells them. Not a bad life, if you ask me.
I got the baker’s dozen, and received a nice selection. There’s a lot of variety here, from smallish rounds to deliciously grand long-​jons. All of the donuts were just-​right chewy, with tasty icing and delicious filling. If you’re adventurous, there’s a few outliers here, like key-​lime. I had about three over two day, and they were all quite good.
Interestingly, they appeared to stale pretty quickly, which is probably a good thing. By day 2, they were pretty tough. But day 1 — — - fantastico.
