Glazed Over in Beacon Earns 'Elite' Yelp Top 50 Ranking

Another (repeat) worthy recognition to add to the Hudson Valley's long list of achievements for 2025, and this one is pretty sweet - literally and figuratively.

The Hudson Valley is constantly getting called out for our amazing sights, scenes, eateries and entertainment, speaking of which, have you heard which local, historic venue was just named top amphitheater in the United States?

Glazed Over Earns Yelp Recognition, Again

This is not the first, nor do we imagine it will be the last time this particular donut spot has received major recognition from Yelp. We have covered this success in years prior, back in 2019 we reported on Business Insider naming them the best in New York State, and in 2023, Yelp reviews landed them at number 83 on the 2024 list. Well, they've moved up QUITE a few spots for 2025 with a pretty incredible ranking for 2025.

Yelp recently released their Top 50 Donut Shops list for 2025, and coming in proudly at number 17 is our very own Glazed Over, in Beacon!

Elite Status For Glazed Over Donuts

The options truly are endless, and the ownership that you take in crafting the perfect combination of donut, drizzle and topping based on your own preferences leaves little room for error.

This year's list was not left to any donut amateur, in fact the Top 50 Donut ranking was compiled by Yelp Elites. As per the official classification of this group of tasters, these are members of Yelp's Elite Squad (sounds like the beginning of a Law & Order episode), they are chosen based on their 'well-written reviews, high-quality photos, and overall contributions to the platform.

We told you they they weren't messing around when it came to ranking donuts.

Yelp Elites even get a special badge on their online Yelp profile, and can be invited to exclusive events and experiences.
