Mel-O-Cream Donuts
4411 Yucan Dr, Springfield, IL
Crema's Take
“This Springfield institution has earned its loyal following through generous, nostalgic donuts that remind customers of simpler times, though quality can be inconsistent. What really shines here is the genuine warmth of the staff—particularly afternoon regulars who praise team members like Marell Thomas for remembering names and creating a genuinely pleasant experience. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where a quick grab-and-go pastry feels personal, even if the donuts themselves are a bit of a gamble.”

Staff was super friendly and everyone should already know Mel-O-Cream Donuts are the BEST!
If I could leave no stars I would. These are the worst donuts I’ve ever had in my life. Gas station donuts are better.
There is a man named Marell Thomas Who works there in the afternoon and evenings. He is very nice, very pleasant. Always calls me by first name when I walk in. Great guy and very pleasant experience.
Shout out to Melo O Cream for topping up the chocolate honeymooners. Reminding me of the good ole days! While other companies are cutting back, Mel O Cream is piling on the goods!
I absolutely love donuts and lately it’s been hit and miss on quality. 3 out of the last 4 times I’ve went the donuts tasted like grease. Kind of like the grease was either old or didn’t get to proper temp before the donuts were dropped into it. The employees at this location are extremely friendly and the atmosphere is great. They just need to figure out why their donuts aren’t consistent which I know is not on this location as the donuts come from one main location.
