I went in and spent about 18 bucks on eight donuts and a bagel. The place looks nice, the staff are real friendly, and the donuts were all right. The crust was coming off the bagel and the apple fritters were a little overcooked but other than that everything was really sweet. The ginger spice and maple bacon donuts are especially exceptional. The regular glazed was alright and the old fashioned what’s surprisingly decent. Overall solid little bakery.

The service here is fantastic friendly and welcoming, which I really appreciated. That said, I was a little surprised by the prices. Three donuts and a small coffee came to about $14 and some change, which feels steep compared to other places I’ve tried.
I was most excited for the apple fritter, but it came out a bit overdone and very greasy. I also tried the Biscoff specialty donut, which was okay but didn’t wow me, and the cheesecake-filled donut, which had good flavor but tasted a little artificial.
Overall, it’s a fun spot to check out once, especially for the experience and the great staff, but personally I’ve had better quality (and better prices) at other donut shops.

First time customer stopping in for a dozen for my work crew. Great selection of cakes and doughnuts. Fruity pebbles and the cinnamon fritter was absolutely delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back. Supporting local.

No, you haven’t died and went to Heaven, you’re just a Donut Panic, gazing into the tidy kept cases glistening with wonderful deliciousness. What makes this place so epic is the quality for the price as it astounds and delivers with selection and fluffy cake donuts probably made from the finest ingredients because it doesn’t coat the inside of your mouth with oiliness like other donut shops. All I can say else is–YUM! So when you’re looking to break from a restrictive diet, impress your boss/staff, need a quick fix of something delicious or need to finish your meal with the perfect dessert -DONUT PANIC!-mind blowing donuts are within reach!

Whenever I visit my grandkids in Columbia, Illinois, we always go to DONUT PANIC. Their jelly donuts are the best I’ve ever eaten, EVER! Evelyn and Cole like their cream filled, long johns and donut holes.
Their gooey butter cakes are DELICIOUS!
Friendly staff and quick service too. A++
