The Handmade Donuts At This Hidden Shop Near Cincinnati Are Worth Seeking Out
Donuts are a food that most people can get behind, which means there can never be too many delicious, local bakeries in Cincinnati, serving up these sweet treats. We’ve shared several favorites over the years, but there has been one hiding in Covington that it’s time to discover. The Village Nutz may win the reward for the most bizarrely named donut shop near Cincinnati, and its hidden location can make it difficult to find, but the handmade donuts at this bakery are worth seeking out.
If you haven't crossed the bridge into Covington in a while, it's definitely time to do so. This historic riverside city is a definite asset to Cincinnati and it offers so many restaurants, shops, events, and much more, including a bar that doubles as a sweet donut shop.
Zazou Pub & Grill is a tasty restaurant with a lively atmosphere, and not necessarily a place you'd expect to find donuts. However, that is where The Village Nutz has taken up shop, serving up hot and fresh donuts to hungry customers.
The Village Nutz is a creative bakery with a wonderful sense of humor — and flavor. Their donuts are topped with a wide variety of treats and you can find a little bit of everything in the case each morning.
On your first visit, your best bet is to choose a variety and fill a box to take with you. Traditional glazed, sprinkled, and cream-filled are favorites but don't leave without a s'more or cereal-topped treat.
The Village Nutz is a great little spot to visit Covington for breakfast. You can grab a donut and coffee beginning at 7 a.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 8 a.m. on Sunday. As of right now, they are closed on Monday and Tuesday.
Keep an eye on their Facebook page, linked below, as they also offer breakfast sandwiches between those pillowy donuts. In fact, stick around for a while and you can enjoy lunch at Zazou once they open for the day.
Zazou Pub & Grill opens at 11 a.m. most days and offers a full menu. Of course, if The Village Nutz still has donuts left, you can enjoy one alongside a cold beverage at the bar.
But if you want to be guaranteed a donut, you may want to plan a morning visit. The Village Nutz has made quite a name for itself in more ways than one, and their handmade donuts tend to fly out of the case, as they are truly some of the best around Cincinnati.
The Village Nutz is a donut shop with a twist, tucked away inside a pub, but happens to serve some of the best handmade donuts you’ll find anywhere around Cincinnati. Have you stopped into this hidden donut shop in Covington? What did you think? Let us know and tag your donut-loving friends!
