"Service was curt, but quick, and really, who cares? Donuts were amazing. Best apple fritter I've ever had. If I lived closer, I'd be lining up a good surgeon for the inevitable bypass this place would force me to get"

"We usually stop by to buy donuts on the weekend. They are always good, and their service has been good as well. When it came to our wedding, I wanted to buy donuts. I went in and ordered several dozen assorted donuts a couple weeks ahead of time. I called a few days before to confirm they would be ready the morning of our wedding. They did a great job putting together the assorted donuts for our guests to enjoy. I was happy with what they gave us, and our guests definitely loved having their donuts at our wedding. Thanks for making our wedding dessert fantastic!!"

"I believe that Ellianna’s has the best donuts in Columbia, MO. No joke, besides Ellianna’s Donut Shop, I don’t feel we have many great options for donuts in Columbia. Before they opened, we had to choose from grocery stores’ donuts or Dunkin Donuts; both are acceptable, but wouldn’t say they’re terrific. The only thing a customer need to watch for is that they don’t stack donuts on top of one another, causing the donut’s icing on the bottom to transfer to the underside of the donut on top, which is annoying and makes for messes (sticky fingers). Other than that, if you’re visiting Columbia, MO and are in the mood for a soft, sweet morning donut, I’d definitely recommend visiting Ellianna’s to satisfy your hunger for a sweeter breakfast."

"By and far Elliana’s is my favorite donut shop in the U.S. I’ve eaten my way through Missouri, Texas, New York, and New Jersey’s pastry parlors, but I keep going back here. Not only is it cheaper than a lot of franchise places in Columbia (looking at you, Dunkin’), it’s a local business run by some very sweet ladies. I always make sure to stop by when I have visitors from out of town. My only regret is that no matter how many I buy, they never seem to last more than a day 😉. Did I mention they fill donuts at request? Boston, Bavarian, whipped topping, and more—pick any donut you like and they’ll add the filling right there!"

"Best glazed donuts in town. Not a fancy or huge place (maybe 8-10 tables) but clean, and fast friendly service. They have a very convenient drive through. You need to go around the building (to the right of the bank, which is 4 doors down from them), then you'll see the order window at the end of the building. BTW the kolaches here are basically a dough-wrapped meat/sausage, NOT a sweet pastry."
