New local donut shop rolls up next to popular campus dive

New and old collide as a brand new donut shop opened its doors for the first time right next to a popular campus dive bar.

The Stack, a local coffee and donut shop, began servings its customers this morning at 262 W. Lane Ave in a new building just across the street from Varsity Club.

The donuts are handmade and baked fresh every single day, a practice The Stack says isn’t typical these days. Though the offerings will vary day to day, traditional varieties like glazed, jelly-filled, and cream sticks will be mainstays on the menu. And if you’re craving something specific, “specialty preorders a day in advance are never an inconvenience,” according to The Stack’s Facebook.

As far as the coffee, it’s shipped in from “all of the world’s best coffee growing regions” and blended and roasted in-house.

“Beyond the great basic ingredients we start with, our staff is constantly experimenting with drink making in a way that produces unique beverage choices that aren’t available anywhere else in Columbus,” reads The Stack’s mission statement.

The Stack comes to us from Jordan Smith’s Lil’ Donut Factory and Tim Hofmann’s Coffee Mess. The two concepts are housed under one roof at 4543 Scioto Darby Rd, and have been a Hilliard favorite for 10 years. The donuts and coffee are prepared at that bakery every morning and delivered at peak freshness to The Stack each morning.

“Top-notch coffee and donuts is a great platform, but it’s only the foundation of what we do and believe at The Stack,” reads the mission statement. “We are committed to engaging our community, lifting up those around us, and using our successes to further develop our space as a place that encourages genuine humane interactions.”

The Stack will be open 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM daily.
