Goldie's Donuts & Bakery, Ohio City 4010 Lorain Ave, Cleveland After six successful years in Lyndhurst, Goldie's Donuts & Bakery has expanded to Ohio City.

Goldie’s Donuts & Bakery is expanding once again. The locally owned bakery that began in Lyndhurst (5211 Mayfield Rd.) in 2018 will open a third location in Brecksville. That new shop joins another in Ohio City (4010 Lorain Ave.), which opened in 2023.

Goldie’s is a family-owned business that makes its donuts, fillings, frostings and glazes from scratch daily using premium ingredients. They are known for their selection of old-fashioned classics like sour cream donuts, maple-glazed cake donuts, honey-glazed crullers, strawberry jam-filled donuts and powdered sugar donuts, but also long johns, apple fritters, croissants, muffins and brownies. The donuts and pastries are made daily at the main kitchen in Lyndhurst and delivered fresh to each café.

Fittingly, the new location (7301 Chippewa Rd.) had been home to a donut shop for nearly 35 years before transitioning to a Joe Maxx Coffee and, most recently, Erie Island Coffee.

Owner Dustin Goldberg says that despite inking the deal just this week, he hopes to have the new Goldie’s Donuts & Bakery up and running as early as Monday or Tuesday of next week. Like Lyndhurst, the new shop features a drive-through lane for efficient service. There is also dine-in seating at a coffee counter, a small seating area, and a patio out front.

When it opens sometime next week, the Brecksville shop will carry the same items as the other two stores, says Goldberg.

“The same food, the same fare,” he notes. “We have between 60 and 70 varieties of daily product.”

Over the next few weeks, Goldberg adds, all three stores will begin rolling out new savory options to join the sweet stuff. Customers can expect a line of breakfast sandwiches and the like.

“We’re going to try and introduce more savory options to the menu to broaden the spectrum for breakfast folks,” he says.

This isn’t the end of the expansion plans for Goldie’s, says Goldberg. Already the company is scouring Lake County for an ideal home for store number four.
