Stownut Donut & Diner

This place was tiny inside but super cute. We went with intentions of donuts and coffee and hopefully a small table to sit, I didn’t realize they actually served hot food also. Naturally, we got our donuts and coffee… plus a bacon egg and cheese bagel and an order of eggs Benedict. Everything was tasty and all of that for $ 20 before tip. I see a return trip in our future. Cookies and cream donut was DELISH! Next on my list is definitely Smores…

Fantastic. Get the coffee. I don’t know what it is but that in itself is enough to make you come back and get a sandwich, donut, and large coffee for around $ 7. I’d pay that any day for a homemade breakfast sandwich over a McDonalds meal that will cost you just as much.

This place is adorable and the staff is great. Love the fun donuts and the Katie’s Kitchen Sink is the best! It’s great for dining in and to-​go orders.

As a salesman, I buy a lot of donuts for my customers. I like to spread the business around, especially to local and small businesses but I really can’t recommend this place for its donuts. I ordered three dozen donuts for early morning pickup and everyone complained they were stale! I will not jeopardize business relationships again with this «day old» donut place.

Super friendly staff and unique variety of donuts for a diner like this! I also got a free donut by guessing the trivia question of the day correctly. I ordered a veggie breakfast quesadilla with tons of vegetables, which I normally would’ve loved, but it got a little soggy in the end. Next time I will try one of the meat varieties! I tried and trix and strawberry glazed donuts, both of which I loved.

Great donuts. Lousy food. I came in here due to a severe jelly donut craving (and I can’t stand large chain store donuts that come frozen in a box before you eat them). So, being in the area I Googled donuts and this place popped up. I got a raspberry jelly donut which was delicious. When I ordered lunch, I discovered many lunch items were not available which either means they’re so good they can’t keep them in stock or the kitchen is poorly run. I ended up with a Sloppy Joe sandwich which was just awful. It came with cheese on top that was hard and appeared to have been sitting out. The bun was burned and the macaroni salad was the strangest of all: it had nearly whole eggs in it and was pure mayonaise. I ate about half and had to quit. So, in short, I would say go for the donuts and not the food in my experience.

Stownut has a decent breakfast menu with reasonable prices, but the food isn’t necessarily anything special. I got an omelet and it wasn’t any better or worse than something you’d get at Bob Evans. The waitstaff was friendly, though and we try to support locally owned establishments, so we’ll probably be back.

First time here, we sat out on the patio.
Our server was prompt and friendly.
I ordered the Stownut stacker and 1 bite in was AMAZING!!!
Highly recommend.

We went there today for the first time. The food was awesome ! They warned us of a wait very nicely and we decided to stay. We got seated right away and ordered cream sticks and coffee which we got very quickly and they were both very very good. We ordered breakfast and it was worth the wait. The food is homemade and delicious. The place is clean even the bathroom which is important to me. We had great service and can’t wait to go again next weekend.

Excellent breakfast, friendly staff, retro atmosphere, best donuts I’ve found so far.

We must have gone here on a bad day. I had read great reviews and brought people here to eat for breakfast. Everything was cooked very poorly and tasted bad. We were really hungry and not that picky, yet not one of us finished more than half our breakfast. :(

I love this place!!! My boyfriend and I ate there for the first time today. It’s a cozy, old-​fashioned diner with vintage Coke signs and Elvis Presley decorations and the typical black and white checkered tile floor. I had a delicious breakfast bagel sandwich with cheese, egg, and tomato accompanied with delicious, homemade home fries. My boyfriend got the Garden Omelet that was made with fresh veggies and very tasty! They also have nice outdoor seating if you feel like the inside is too small. On the way out, we bought a Trix donut and a chocolate whoopie pie from their homemade donut selection. We left about an hour until close so most of their donuts were sold out — there was a sign for a S’mores donut that was all gone — can’t wait to go back and try it!

Best breakfast in Stow. Classic diner favorites as well as new takes on classics. I love the stow stacker and the pancakes. The service is not fast, but it’s worth the wait. And the donuts (especially the sour cream) are wonderful!

Went in strictly for doughnuts before work and being the doughnut snob that I am and comparing this to national doughnut bakeries, I gave it 3 stars. However, since NEO has a shortage of decent doughnuts, you could argue this a 4.
Stownut Donuts are a solid local doughnut shop and will definitely be my go-​to while in the area from now on. The doughnuts were significantly better than anything you’ll find from Dunkin, GE, etc.
I’d LOVE to see them add more unique flavors to the menu, similar to their S’mores and Oreos doughnut. The doughnuts are great, they’re just lacking in creative. If they bumped that up it could easily be a 5 star joint.

Although I am not a police officer, nor do I belong to the fraternal order of police, I give to their yearly fundraisers and support their efforts. This somehow afflicts me with having a strange attraction towards round, cream filled pucks of risen and fried dough. Combine that with an already strange recurring need for pork of all kinds, bacon in particular, and I just had to give the Stownut Donut & Diner a try!
The Lobster Benedict caught my eye. No bacon, but I am trying to work on my addictions, and lobster is a good place to start. Overall, the dish was okay. The lobster meat was still cool but It did have some decent flavor, the hollandaise sauce stayed together and cutting through the dish I found the eggs atop were still a little runny. Not bad. The touch with the spinach was nice. I did end up trying the bacon and it had a good flavor and was meaty enough to pass for something other than nitrate covered cellophane.
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of the meal was the potatoes. The inconsistent cut made the larger pieces quite firm with the smaller ones being just about right. The pancakes were a bit too bread-​like for my taste.
The service I received was good and, yes, I tried the donuts! The glazed delights are a good size with great flavor and the bavarian cream in some of them is quite nice, indeed!
So, if you ever find yourself involved in a multi-​jurisdictional popo-​paluza and need a distraction that’ll keep the bears off your tail, take a swing by Stownut. The combination of the donuts and the bacon will not only save yours, it might actually get you an invitation to the ball!

I go there almost every weekend since I discovered it. If you want a good breakfast done right and want your coffee filled every 5 minutes then you’ll like this place. If you’re going there for the first time try the corn beefed hash, it’s delicious. Don’t forget to grab a donut too they’re always great.

In search of blueberry waffles and today’s visit didn’t disappoint. Our meal was made even better by sitting outside.

This is a very good, little place tucked away in a strip mall in Stow. They’re known for their delicious donuts, but I planned to go there for a simple breakfast, since I’m gluten-​free.
They had gluten free blueberry muffins! So delicious. Tasted like a normal muffin. O so moist and bluberry-​y.
Ate half my muffin and then ordered coffee, 2 eggs, and hash browns with cheese. The eggs were a little runny (ordered them over-​medium), but the whole thing was rather tasty. Lots of cheese on the hash browns. Got all it all (muffin, eggs, hash browns, coffee) for 9.02.
The donuts looked delicious, though I couldn’t have any of them. Their flavors range from regular glazed, sour cream, jelly, chocolate éclair, etc., to specialties like s’mores and trix cereal.

Somewhere in my search for all things delicious in and near Akron, I found Stownut, a cool little diner tucked away in a strip mall. I went first thing in the morning to get a couple fresh donuts (I read they can go quickly) and was greeted by two lovely ladies behind the counter in front of a colorful display case.
I grabbed a menu on the way out and nearly started to cry that I hadn’t planned to stay there for breakfast. The donuts were good, but I saw some amazing offerings like breakfast pizza and the kitchen sink. While those donuts were simply amazing, I would not hesitate to drive from Pittsburgh for that breakfast pizza.

I’m not quite sure what to make of this restaurant… it certainly has character. I like the old diner feel to the place but the music is really annoying.
As for the food, meh. I ordered «Katie’s Kitchen Sink» because it sounded pretty appetizing… 2 eggs layered over hash browns, biscuit, sausage gravy and topped with bacon. Unfortunately it was let down. Normal sausage gravy usually has a smoky taste and pieces of sausage in it, their ‘sausage’ gravy is just creamy and has no taste to it. Now what stopped me from eating my breakfast was the biscuit! I think… it’s hard to tell because all mixed together. Somewhere in the mixture I could taste quite a bit of sugar, now just think about eating eggs, hash browns and bland sausage gravy mixed with sugar! Sounds disgusting, right?
I’m a big breakfast fan and I’m always looking for a place that cooks up something tasty, but this place was a real let down! Not to mention they are taking forever to take my plate & credit card (20 minutes and counting), and there are only 3 customers here! Did I mention the music is really annoying? Plus the TV volume is up, so it’s a true mesh of chaos!
…I should stop with review but since they’re taking FOREVER to take my credit card, I shall resume my rant. The aroma of this place is grease mixed with sugar, yummy! Now I understand why this place is so empty.
I’m guessing my sever is the owner, Karen. She just passed me by again without taking my credit card… I could just walk to the counter and demand my bill but I want to see how long this takes (now 30 minutes). Did I mention the music is really annoying?
Hey! Here she comes again… dah, ignored again. My plate is pushed to the opposite side of the table with my napkin & silverware on top of my unfinished meal and my credit card is just sitting here… that’s the international sign that I’m done!
Meanwhile some customers walked in and sat down next to me… she helping them. That nice… and now she’s gone. We’re up to 40 minutes and counting. I was going to be kind with this review about an hour ago but this is ridiculous! Ah, here she comes again… she’s helping the elderly couple next to me, now she’s talking about her favorite comedian, that’s cute. Annnnd there she goes.
How about that… the elderly couple next to me came in, ordered, ate, she took their plates and their bill, and now they left. I’ve been here for an hour and a half! It’s not a big place!!! I know what you’re thinking, why don’t I just demand my bill? That would be too easy. This woman needs to learn that… wait… holy crap she took my plate!!! Now let’s start the timer for when she’ll bring the bill.
I’m running out of things to say.
Ah screw it, I’m going to cave… this music is melting my brain. Time to pay the bill at the counter.
At least she said «Have a good day!». Don’t get me wrong, Karen seems like a nice woman, just learn how to run a freaking restaurant.
Lesson learned.
