It did get a bit too sweet for me towards finishing the donut, so eating half at a time is honestly good enough.

What they do make well is coffee. I love dark black coffee and they have that and more and it is very good. Their prices are high-- I think too high. They do have a decent selection on hand. I would go there for coffee, but I won't bother with their donuts anymore. I really hope they work on making sure all donuts are fresh. Their cornbread is good. I have a friend who wanted to try them so we went back and I still found them stale tasting, but great coffee.

My wife and I were having a party for my little girl's birthday and looking for a dessert to hand out and we came across Beach Town Pops. We spoke to Ashley over the phone who was extremely helpful.
