Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

If you're ever in Springfield these donuts hit the spot. I had a glazed old-fashioned that might have been a little overdone but still the crispy krunch made it pretty tasty. They have a lighter white cream and I usually like it a little heavier, but it was good and I still would like the donuts to be filled a little more. I would suggest the coconut cream filled donut.

Great Donuts. Friendly Staff. Inviting space. I tried the lemon, custard, creme, original, and long johns. The creme and icing both choclate and caramel were fantastic.

Had a craving for a Mel o cream donut. They had a good selection late in the Morning. Counter person full of local knowledge and suggestions. Wish I would have got her name. Loved my donuts and my friend picked up a dozen to take home..

I loved the building with its unique architecture. The roof with its cool curves is quite amazing how it was made. As a bit of a doughnut connoisseur (and the belly to prove it) I must admit I find these slightly overrated and overpriced. The OG glazed were a little stale for 9 am and not nearly as tender as I like a yeast doughnut to be (but they were a good size). The chocolate long-John’s were good and had a nice thick icing. I will say the service was fine but when I asked the person behind the counter to give us an assortment he picked the most boring options possible (kind of our bad but you could tell they were picking based on what they had the most of, we didn’t get any of the fancy fruit filled or cookie topped). Def pass on the doughnut holes. They were very oily and not work the price.

When we travel, I love to find the local favorite place for donuts. It was clear that Mel-O-Cream is the place in Springfield. I got an assorted dozen so I could try several varieties. The glazed yeast is GREAT -- not too sweet and an excellent texture. I would say my favorite was the Old-Fashioned (aka sour cream donut). Loved it!
