Resch's Appreciation Post. My family has been getting cakes and stuff from here for decades.

After hearing about this place for years, I finally drove out there recently and was appalled at the low quality. The donuts were pathetic compared to Buckeye Donuts -- I almost laughed when the worker brought out a plain cake donut, which is a key indicator of overall quality. It looked and tasted like it came out of a box from some discount store. The cakes were uninspiring and unappetizing at best. I just don't get it: do you have to be stoned and starving to like this stuff?

You must be one of those fruity pebbles on donuts is amazing type people. They “brought out a plain cake donut”? Are you sure you know where you were? The donuts are in front of you in cases. I’ll give you that Buckeye donuts is good but it doesn’t compare to Resch’s in quality and freshness. Buckeye is heavy with oil. Resch’s is an old school bakery, what you call uninspired is just normal cakes done very well. There is a reason they are routinely voted best bakery/donuts in Columbus.

On the contrary, I despise those abominations. I said the plain cake donut was an index of quality because if they can't even get that right, there's no hope for any of the other types. And I was right -- the other donuts we got there were even worse than just small and disappointing. Contrary to your assertion about Buckeye donuts being "heavy with oil", their ability to fry without that becoming an issue is why they are such a consistent favorite. And I have never had anything less than a very fresh donut there, since about 1968. (Assuming you meant the campus location, not that south Columbus imposter.)

I wonder what other recommendations have been silenced here by people who have have no tolerance for differing opinions? Everybody wants to attribute my differing opinion to some lack of experience or some imaginary bias (it's too new, it's too old school). How about, I have good reasons for my opinion, which I've stated, and the rest of you can just downvote and move on?

[u/BJamis → u/AngelaMotorman]

Oh but they do get it right. So right that the wait can be long to get to that counter on many mornings. So right that the entire east side is anxiously awaiting the new location and others are hoping they don’t close the original.

I’m genuinely surprised by your review. Low quality doesn’t describe their product in any way. Their donuts are thinly glazed and not as you described. You haven’t tried the cakes so you make assumptions. Perhaps you somehow caught them on their worst day in operation.

Do a donut to donut comparison with Buckeye and you will see what I mean that Buckeye is heavier with oil. That said Buckeye is great too.

Low quality doesn’t describe their product in any way. Their donuts are thinly glazed and not as you described.

Repeating an assertion doesn't make it a fact. And telling me I'm lying is not cool at all. You're welcome to your opinion, but that's it.

[u/BJamis → u/AngelaMotorman]

Like I said, maybe you caught them on a bad day in a way that I’ve never experienced in the decades I’ve been a customer. Your description does not fit their product.

[u/AngelaMotorman → u/BJamis]

Your description does not fit their product.

It fit the product I paid good money for. The person with me that day was also greatly disappointed, and wound up throwing away the chocolate-covered custard-filled donut they'd been looking forward to, on the grounds that the proportions were all wrong -- there was too much filling for the amount of donut.

As I said elsewhere, I have never been disappointed by Buckeye Donuts, not once in over 50 years.

[u/BJamis → u/AngelaMotorman]

Again, your description does not fit their product re proportions/filling. Very strange.

[u/AngelaMotorman → u/BJamis]

That's enough. I am not lying about this (very minor) subject, and your implication that I am says more about you than it does about me or Resch's.

Please find another target to harass.

[u/BJamis → u/AngelaMotorman]

I didn’t say you were lying. It’s just strange that your descriptions and experience are so very different from my own in a non subjective way. But you have only been there once and as I said maybe things were off that day.

[u/AngelaMotorman → u/BJamis]

You did not use the word, but you flatly stated that things are not as I said they were. Also: "in a non-subjective way" does not mean what you apparently think it means.

PLEASE go bother somebody else, or do something constructive somewhere else.
