Coming up, you can expect to see even more Ithaca donut reviews. Did we miss anywhere? Let us know in the comments. We’re focused on the Ithaca area, but if there are really good ones in a neighboring town, we might travel there to get some.
Come to Portland and visit Voodoo Donuts! I don’t care that Portland is several time zones removed from being a “neighboring town” to Ithaca. THAT’S NOT MY PROBLEM.
Voodoo is incredible. Been there. Will go again. And I’ll eat even more than before.
Thanks for a practically useless recommendation. I feel sorry that you are stupid and useless. However, THAT’S NOT MY PROBLEM.
One day if you’re feeling adventurous, drive out to Hollenbeck’s Cider Mill for hot apple cider and fresh donuts. They were delicious!
Thanks for the tip!! We’re putting it on the list!
I love donuts. More than I should. I just moved to Ithaca in August and have been hankering for a good one. Found this website from a reddit post and now I’ve got a whole list of places to check out.
You could also check out Brookton’s Market up Rt 79. They don’t always have them, but I’m sure they’d make them if you called ahead.

p.s. Do you know where to find Cronuts? Croissant Donuts?
Not in Ithaca, I’m afraid!
East Hill Plaza P&C has them!
They also have the best general donuts in the region!
Whale Cat Donuts on the Ag Quad of Cornell?
We’ve definitely sampled them a couple times and will do a full review soon.
Just moved here from Philly, where the donut game was pretty solid (The Amish don’t play around with their donuts). I was worried that I’d be moving to a donut desert but this blog was a huge help in finding some great spots! Thanks!
Thank you! I used to live just outside Philadelphia. I miss the artisanal doughnuts and even Wawa doughnuts.
It took me about 10 years to follow the advice of many, but the East Hill P&C Donuts are a step above all other “general” donuts by the dozen.
Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. begbkbccaedadfbg
