The Little Cookie Shop In Cincinnati That Will Take Your Tastebuds To A Whole New Level
There are many iconic foods in Cincinnati; ones where you can simply say the name and almost everyone knows exactly what you’re talking about. There’s a lot of competition out there when it comes to the best-of-the-best, but a few of these icons have stood the test of time. For 30 years, Donna’s Gourmet Cookies has been creating the most delicious sweet treats, and arguably the best cookies in the city. With the unique combination of amazing flavor and stunning designs, Donna’s Gourmet Cookies will take your tastebuds to a whole new level.
If you live in Cincinnati and you've ever had a sweet tooth, you've probably had one of Donna's Gourmet Cookies.
The shop on Montgomery Road is open Tuesday - Friday from 10am to 5pm, and on Saturday from 10am to 3pm. The adorable shop always has cookies ready for purchase and you can choose one as a snack or go ahead and fill a box with a variety of Donna's specialties.
One of the things that really sets Donna's apart are the ingredients and careful preparation.
The cookies and other treats are made from scratch in small batches and baked every single day. They use the freshest ingredients, and you can really taste the difference! There are a wide variety to choose from, including Chocolate Chip, Macadamia White Chocolate, Snickerdoodle, and even S'mores, which includes marshmallow and graham crackers.
Aside from the classic options, Donna's is known for their unbelievably detailed and creative iced sugar cookies.
These impeccable creations are works of art and are almost too beautiful to eat. Unlike other similar attempts, these intricately decorated cookies taste as good as they look! They have some of these incredible designs in the store, but you can also special order a set.
Cincinnati is often celebrated in their cookies with features like the Fiona cookie, Bengals and Reds cookies, as well as Ohio-shaped creations with a heart, right where it should be.
