| - Some of the best donuts in Cleveland! Mind you, my opinion would probably include a star being knocked off if I lived on the West Side (while the donuts are pretty damn good, I'm not sure that I would drive to the east side just for donuts). Often in the mornings, there is a line. The employees are pretty good at getting people in and out. Typically in the mornings, there are a few dudes sitting at the counter, enjoying their coffee and serving up complaints about the weather.
When I am up early (which is super rare - sorry, I am NOT a morning person), in a good mood, and feeling generous, I swing by here on my way to work and pick up some donuts. When I add coffee to that (this isn't like Starbucks with fancy coffee and jugs of coffee - you have two size cups to pick from), the employees find ways to put it into a large box for me to make it easier to carry. They also have put creamer in a cup, along with a bag of sugar packets and stir sticks, so that everyone can have their coffee personalized.
Apparently they also sell pizza, but I have yet to try that. I'm a little hesitant to eat pizza and donuts - plus while their donuts are good, how great can the pizza be? (if you work at Biagio's, please don't hate me for this opinion!! Maybe your pizza is slammin' and I'm just afraid of the great unknown).
Anyway, back to the real reason why I wrote this review - the DONUTS! I have yet to have a sub par donut here. They are always fresh tasting (and are often bringing out just finished trays while I am there), and delish. I mean, just take a peek at my ass and you can tell that I have issues saying no to a bite of a donut. The paczkis are delish (I live for the raspberry. However, I brought a dozen donuts/paczkis with me to Chicago last spring and my friends seemed to love the lemon. I'm just not usually swayed by lemon baked goods.) The vanilla cream long john (sometimes called a cream stick) is fantastic.
Final point (and this is an important one!): they are CASH ONLY. There is an ATM if you don't carry cash on site, but I seem to recall a high fee. I rarely carry cash (but can usually dig out a couple bucks and some coins from the bottom of my purse, and if need be, under the driver's seat in my car. Note to any would-be car bandit - you might get like, $1.34 max, a tube of lipstick, and a water bottle cap).
