Lindsey Bake Shop - Circleville

They had some really tasty cookies and other items. The apple fritter was fantastic. I initially thought the filling in a pastry was whipped cream, but it turned out to be a type of marshmallow cream. I was both excited and let down at the same time, haha. I had to take away one star for that. Overall, the visit is definitely worth it!

I attended the Circleville Pumpkin Festival, and the first thing on my mind was to try Lindsey's famous pumpkin donuts. The line was incredibly long, but it moved quickly as most people were buying them by the dozen. From what I understood, pumpkin donuts were the only flavor available when I left. You can get a dozen for $12. The donuts themselves were good, but I wouldn't say they were the best pumpkin donuts I've ever had. My expectations were quite high because of the buzz from others in line, but honestly, they weren't worth waiting in such a long line for, especially since there were other vendors at the festival selling donuts as well.

Wow! This bakery is fantastic! I love the cozy hometown vibe. It has a trendy atmosphere while still being a local gem. The donuts are incredible, especially the pumpkin ones. The prices are reasonable, the service is friendly, and parking is a breeze. I'm so glad we decided to stop by during our visit to the Columbus area!

We love the pumpkin donuts. The world's largest pumpkin cake since childhood. Love it!

Lindsey 's helps to get you in the mood for everything pumkin with their donuts AND a huge (4 ' across easily..maybe 5? pumkin pie on display in the window. Got there just around 9:00am on a Friday. Just a short line (had heard the line can stretch for 45+ minutes during pumkin fest. Small independent owned bakery in the postcard perfect midsized central Ohio town of Circleville,OH. Largly a spot on the map, except during the 5th or 6th largest annual and free festival in the US: The Circleville Pumkin Festival in mid-October since early 1900 's It 's exactly what you 'd expect: redbrick walls, hand lettered signs, small sales floor surounded by glass cases...and donunts...pumkin donuts...everywhere. Staff of all ages flying around, efficiently delivering the goods. With people lining up before 9am on a weekday, this has got to be by far their biggest sales week of the year. (HUGE Kudos to the staff btw. Years ago i worked in a family bakery...as a donut fryer no less. I remember how crazy it got around holidays. Working through the night in front of the frier, the inevitable nips on exposed skin by little splashes of 375 degree oil, gallons and gallons of batter being slung my way by the exhausted bakers, my baker 's whites getting caked w batter, glaze, and sweat until my shirt was almost as stiff as cardboard and I could barely see the black leather of my work boots. It always seemed the shift would never end. Even at a young 20 yrs my back, legs, feet ached like i was 125 by the time the sun was well above the horizon and the owner said, That should be enough. Shut 'er down n get 'er ready for tonight before you leave J This has got to be Off the Charts of anything I ever experienced! So mad props to all the Lindsey 's staff for getting it done. Buying a donut this week? Its optional, but leave em a good tip. They earned it. And Yes..they take plastic.
