Their donuts were hot and freshly fried. The strawberry syrup was too sweet for me. It was interesting to watch how the donut was made. But the service was slow because there was only one person making all of things during lunch time. It would be fast to order through the app in advance.

Huge disappointment today when I tried multiple times to order online and it wouldn’t work. When I finally got it to go through I went to pick up my order and they were out of nearly everything that I ordered. The woman at the front was very nice, but this was literally all my husband asked for for his birthday and now I’m headed home empty handed.There was no way for them to let me know online that my order could not be filled and even though they had my phone number they waited until I walked in to offer alternative options for flavors instead of calling me. I wouldn’t have wasted the trip all the way out to Westerville from Grove City.
Aug 12 · Lynsey StrouseI tried the vanilla and the maple bacon. First time here and the last. Very disappointed, served very hot the icing was melted off both donuts. Very generic tasting. Not what I was expecting at all. Not for 3.50 a piece. Not worth the hype. I have had better at a grocery store.
Jul 31 · sonia taylorSooo, they advertised EVERYWHERE for National Sprinkle Day , free confetti donut all day that day. So I get the kids ready and we head out to Duck donuts for our free Confetti Day treat. There was a sign on the door that said " Sorry, we are all out of dough, no doughnuts whatsoever, but we have sandwiches for purchase" Not sure if it was a purposeful dirty ploy to sell sandwiches and not give away donuts or if they just have a really really bad manager. Either way, my kids crying at 9 in the morning because they don't get donuts , not cool, at all. Oh, and no rain checks. There were other littles there crying and other parents that were quite unhappy. I permanently removed Duck Donuts from a place that I would like to spend my family's money. We only have so much donut money and I choose to spend it better.
Sep 4 · Nicki CassonUnfortunately, when I came, their espresso machine was not working so only got a regular coffee. Donuts were ok, nothing too spectacular. It's a vanilla cake based donut and it gets dunked in whatever topping you want. Biggest complaint was that the donut was small and soggy so the toppings basically just falls off. Can barely pick it up and eat it without everything just coming right off. Flavor wise, it's fine.
