What People Are Saying About Banbury Cross

The Scene
A small cottage on one of the busiest streets in the city. Inside, you'll find just what you'd expect: cases filled with sugary treats. There are several tables along the windows, in case you like to enjoy a leisurely cup of coffee with your doughnut. There's a drive-thru window, but the parking lot is pretty small, and the cars during the morning rush often create a logjam.
The Food
Doughnuts of all sizes and shapes--glazed, frosted, jelly-filled and more--as well as bear claws, twists and doughnut holes. If doughnuts are not your thing, choose from a variety of muffins--blueberry, apple-cinnamon, chocolate chip and other flavors.

They always get our order wrong. Not once has it been right. Whether we called it in or thru the drive-thru. They can't understand what you tell them. I guess they don't speak English very well. My suggestion is to hire employees that know what their doing!! The girls are nice but they act confused sometimes. Then there's a guy there that just didn't have any patience at all. He said to more less hurry up he had other customers waiting! I was offended it was a $40 or more order for them. You'd think they'd love the business I was giving them ! They need to improve big time on customer service and being polite and getting the orders right!!! It's a joke! But the donuts are wonderful if you can stand the service!!! I'll go back but not as much as I used to! I recommend it to very few people!!!

Love the bran muffins, hate the service. Good thing I found out at little the Starbucks kiosk sells bran muffins. Now I can eat my muffin and avoid that nasty shop!

I'm not a donut expert, but i pick up two dozen to share at work every month when I have to work a Sunday. Other than that, I don't eat them. Everytime I have been to Banbury the workers have taken around 10 minutes to get the donuts (drivethrough) and they have always been fresh. Of course I go to work at 0630, so they had better be. Be prepared, the workers seem very confused if you request something from the norm, say no nuts for a food allergy, and take longer. The workers also tend to be moderately to exteremely rude. Wonderful donuts though. I really like the apple fritter and the strawberry glaze. The donuts go twice as fast if they are from Banbury! Their coffee and orange juice is very good, too. If a dunkin' donuts or a krispy kreme were on the way to work I'd probably stop there instead. As it is, they are the only decent place in the area to get donuts. Smiths and Albertson's aren't even close. Will continue to go there until there is another quality place to pick up donuts on the way to work.

Parking:
If the parking lot is full and there's no room to pull into the drive-thru, you can park on 700 South. Service here is quick, so it doesn't take long to get in and out.
