Who doesn't like donuts? The delicious fried treats come in enough forms and flavors to please just about anybody, and they even have their own designated Doughnut Day, which falls on June 4. Whether you spell it donut or doughnut, like yeast versions or cake varieties, or crave traditional or out-of-the-box flavors, you'll be able to indulge your cravings around Northeast Ohio.

Try any of the following 9 places to enjoy a delectable donut – or two! – in Northeast Ohio, Columbus, or Cincinnati.

The shop makes over 200 types of donuts and has a daily menu as well as rotating additions of other flavors. On the daily menu, you'll find delicious offerings like Boston cream, cherry cheesecake, Death by Chocolate, and a Fruity Pebbles cereal cake donut.

If you've been itching to feel like a kid in a candy store again, then we have great news! June is Candy Month. That's right — there is a whole month dedicated to the appreciation of candy. If you're in Cincinnati or Columbus, or if you're looking for homes in Northeast Ohio, then you have your choice of candy stores. Here are few top places to satisfy your sweet tooth during Candy Month.

Russell Stover Chocolates

1500 Polaris Pkwy., Columbus OH, 43240

You've probably enjoyed Russell Stover chocolates before, but have you ever visited their store in person? Candy Month gives you the perfect reason to stop by, especially if you're nearby looking at Columbus homes for sale.

Russell Stover Assorted Creams are really popular right now. They feature rich, creamy centers in flavors including vanilla cream, raspberry, and orange. If you're trying to keep your sugar intake down, try some Joy Bites. These tasty chocolate bars are free from all added sugar, colors, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives. They offer all of the chocolate indulgence without as much guilt.

Anthony-Thomas Candy Shoppe has been in business for five generations. They are a mainstay in the Columbus community, and their chocolates are incredibly delicious. For something cute, check out their selection of Ohio-themed gifts, such as their assorted chocolates in a Columbus Skyline box. 

Buckeyes are another popular choice at this shop. With creamy peanut butter filling and a sweet milk chocolate coating, they're a really satisfying treat. And if you're not in the mood for chocolate, you can always bring home a bag of sour gummies, cinnamon bears, or black licorice. 

Colonial Candy

3620 N. High St., Columbus, OH 43214

Do you want to shop for candy online, and then pick up your order when it's ready? Then Colonial Candy is the shop for you to visit during Candy Month. You can build your order on their website, and they'll let you know when it's ready for pickup.

With this online ordering option, it's easy to try a little of everything — and you totally should! The buttercream and brownie cream chocolates are exceptional and are sold in 1/8 pound increments. Then there are peanut clusters with a cream center. They're crunchy and delicious.

Here's a fun place to stop if you're in the area looking at Cincinnati homes for sale. Even the name makes you think of fun, colorful candy treats. It would be impossible to step into this shop and not feel excited and upbeat.

Groovy Gumball has an ice cream shop inside, so you can easily enjoy a cone while you're there and then purchase candy to bring home. Their Woodford Reserve Bourbon Balls are a must-buy if you like this kind of thing. They're so soft and creamy inside. Of course, they also carry lots of fun, seasonal, molded chocolates.

Supreme Nut and Candy

6147 Glenway Ave., Cincinnati OH, 45211

Supreme Nut and Candy has the distinction of being the oldest candy store in Cincinnati. So, it is definitely worth a visit during Candy Month, even if you have to drive a little to get there. The decor inside is simple, so the candy can speak for itself. And it has a lot to say.

This shop offers all sorts of pre-packaged chocolates, including hard-to-find products like 100 Grand Bars and Fruit BonBons. If you're trying to be healthy, take a look at some of their nut mixes. The cinnamon almonds are the perfect cross between candy and health food. They also offer some even sweeter options, like Jordan almonds and Boston baked beans.

Founded by the Guenther family in 1964, Fawn Candy still makes their candy the old-fashioned way in small batches. They make a bit of everything, including hard candies, gummies, and chocolates. The gummy shapes are always changing with the seasons to keep things festive.

The peanut brittle is a tried-and-true favorite at Fawn Candy. If you're in the mood for something even sweeter, try the Savannah Creams. They're a traditional pull candy that melts in your mouth, and they're perfect for early summer.

Malley's truffles, nut clusters, and assorted boxes have all won awards and will melt in your mouth. The gourmet bars are also really popular. Try the gourmet caramel bar for something truly indulgent.
