Donuts are a food that most people can get behind, which means there can never be too many delicious, local bakeries in Cincinnati, serving up these sweet treats. We’ve shared several favorites over the years, but there has been one hiding in Covington that it’s time to discover. The Village Nutz may win the reward for the most bizarrely named donut shop near Cincinnati, and its hidden location can make it difficult to find, but the handmade donuts at this bakery are worth seeking out.

If you haven't crossed the bridge into Covington in a while, it's definitely time to do so. This historic riverside city is a definite asset to Cincinnati and it offers so many restaurants, shops, events, and much more, including a bar that doubles as a sweet donut shop.

Zazou Pub & Grill is a tasty restaurant with a lively atmosphere, and not necessarily a place you'd expect to find donuts. However, that is where The Village Nutz has taken up shop, serving up hot and fresh donuts to hungry customers.

The Village Nutz is a creative bakery with a wonderful sense of humor — and flavor. Their donuts are topped with a wide variety of treats and you can find a little bit of everything in the case each morning.

On your first visit, your best bet is to choose a variety and fill a box to take with you. Traditional glazed, sprinkled, and cream-filled are favorites but don't leave without a s'more or cereal-topped treat.
