The Donut Trail is self-guided and can be completed at your own pace. You can start and finish whenever you like.
Each donut shop features their own specialties, such as the “Ugly” from Central Pastry Shop or a “Raspberry Cheesecake” donut from The Donut Spot. Jupiter Coffee & Donuts offers their signature “Miami Maple Merger” donut and Kelly’s Bakery features a “S’mores” donut, just to name a few.
Visitors can experience the Butler County Donut Trail by collecting stamps on an official passport. Once a patron completes the Donut Trail, each passport may be redeemed for a complimentary Donut Trail T-shirt. Over a half of a million passports have been distributed to date, including printed and digital downloads of the passport.
The Butler County Visitors Bureau launched the Donut Trail in January 2016 to highlight the area’s donut shops. Since its inception, more than 34,000 people from all 50 states and 22 countries have completed the Donut Trail.
Patrons can call The Donut Trail concierge’s line, (513) 860-0917, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and have questions answered or get help in planning a Donut Trail route. Of course, the number one tip, is to always get an early start, the shops often sell out.
