Unrivaled since 1937, this family- owned and -operated donut shop in Cleveland’s Old Brooklyn neighborhood has been baking every batch from scratch daily, whipping up classic cake and yeast favorites to innovative flavors and combos that go viral like maple bacon and creme brulee. The family recipe hasn’t changed in nearly 90 years, and customers can pick from an ever-changing array of 20 to 30 varieties daily.
Known for their creativity and constantly reinventing the wheel, there are more than 200 donuts featured on the website, and the team at Jack Frost is always experimenting with new flavors and creations. Custom donuts are always available for order by the dozen for any special occasion or just because. Think mermaids for your daughter’s birthday party or designs to complement your next special event or gathering — the sky is the limit!
Here are some seasonal flavors not to miss:
People wait all year for this summer favorite: Key Lime Pie donuts featuring tangy custard, green cream, on top of a graham cracker crusted donut and topped with a lime-shaped sugar candy.
In the fall, think pumpkin spice anything and everything. While it changes every year, you’ll be guaranteed to devour pumpkin flavors with cinnamon sugar, cream cheese and even caramel.
And the holiday vibes are strong at Jack Frost where you’ll find inspired flavors at Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and more.
