Bacon, egg, and cheese on gluten free bread w/ hair

I usually just come here for the packaged gluten free donuts. This time I decided to try one of their breakfast items and got a bacon, egg, and cheese on gluten free bread. As soon as I opened my food I noticed a bunch of little white hairs all over my sandwich as if it were dropped on the ground and put back together or something. There was hair covering all of my sandwich from everything in it to the bread. Disgusted and highly disappointed. Very unsanitary especially for a bacon egg and cheese that costs $10.

My son and I had been meaning to stop by here ever since we saw that they were finally open for business. Cute atmosphere and really fun flavor options. We opted for a few donuts to try. They were a bit oily, but overall full of flavor and quite large.

This was my first visit to Branford beach donut. I immediately took pictures to capture the quaint and quiet atmosphere as we were the only two for a short time in the shop. My husband ordered a breakfast sandwich. He added bacon and sausage. You get a free donut with purchase of a breakfast sandwich. My husband chose the highly popular sugar glazed jelly donut. I got the cinnamon sugar jelly donut and a vanilla frosted with sorinkles. Beach donut has vegan and gluten free donut options! The pictures don't do the location justice! There are so many delicious items. It's a very cute and open location. I loved the hot sauce choices by the windows. The ketchup and Mayo packets in a skull holder made me laugh! The donut signs added a great level of comfort to the site. My husband and I really wanted to get the fritter for the size alone! We texted a friend we found poppyseed horns as she has been looking for them. The muffins, brownies, and coffee cake also looked amazing. The service was quick and organized. My husband loved his sandwich. He said we'd be here daily if we lived closer. We will visit again! 5 stars!

Variety of their donuts

OMG these are the best donuts that I ever ate. The non filled donuts are more like a cake with a crunchy outside. They have a variety of these donuts and all of them have a flavor that matches the donut. My favorite was the cinnamon. The filled donuts were soft and well filled. They were very good, but I liked the uniqueness's of the non filled donuts. Once you have their donuts, you will not go back to the chain store donuts . They have so many different donuts to choose from. Plenty of off street parking and a friendly staff.

Iced coffee with coffee cubes!

What a great little place. The breakfast sandwiches are freshly made and terrific. I had an egg and cheese on a salt bagel and it was great- plus I got a free doughnut which I normally would not buy- and it was super fresh and flavorful. I washed both down with excellent iced coffee- with coffee ice cubes! No dilution here! The place is cheery, pleasant and clean. A long counter and stools provide seating if you want to eat in. Recommended.

Breakfast tostada- refried beans, cheese, eggs, avocado, and salsa. Would have love to get an extra side of salsa.

Stopped here for the first time on a Saturday morning and were very pleasantly surprised with the selections offered- not only a wide variety of delicious homemade donuts but a lot of breakfast options as well like sandwiches, tostadas, pasties, bagels. I really enjoyed the pumpkin donut, chocolate glazed donut holes, and vanilla frosted donuts. The apple cider donut was a little on the dry side. I got the breakfast tostada and it was HUGE and very good. My husband got a sandwich that had turkey, eggs, and avocado- also huge. We will definitely be back to try more menu items. You also get a free donut with every breakfast sandwich purchase which was a nice touch. Staff was very friendly but the service was a little slow.. maybe a combination of busy Saturday morning and just a few staff members. You can eat inside if you want at a little breakfast bar but mostly seems like a to- Go place. The inside was decorated cute and very clean!

a variety of donuts

Branford is excited to have Beach donut snack! The donuts are delicious fresh and fluffy! If your looking for breakfast sandwiches, they are available too! I personally enjoy their ice coffee with coffee ice cubes and the fresh pressed orange juice is a must! The inside is cute with a few chairs to sit at but I would say this is mostly a take out spot. The owners are great! Very friendly and accommodating and they also offer vegan donut options as well!

A coffee oasis that you want to check out! One World's robust coffee menu has a lot of offerings…read moreincluding their permanent specialty latte options as well as their rotating seasonal menu. They roast in-house and focus on high-quality coffee for their shop, wholesale and online ordering. You can pick from many single origins, blends and espresso options. Owners Eric and Christine take the time to educate you about coffee and anything you want to know about it. They take pride in crafting great drinks and can give some great recommendations! They offer a tea garden patio, a labyrinth for walking meditation, and fountains. When it comes to their menu, they rotate their different blends including one of their top sellers, the Worldly Blend. I LOVED trying two of their specials: Strawberry Nutella Iced Coffee and the Banana Cream Cold Brew. While visiting, there were multiple customers raving about their drinks too--you won't be disappointed with any option you pick! They also frequently offer education events, in house tastings and other paired wellness combinations worth checking out. Key Features: Parking, lots of options to choose from on the menu including great lemonades and teas for non-coffee consumers. Their outdoor area is great on a nice day, and they have gift options to take (cups, gift cards, beans, hats, etc). Offer milk alternatives, a rewards punch card if you frequently visit and indoor tables and bar to sit at.

The best fresh roasted coffee in the area. Small batch roasting makes all the difference!…read more It's a cozy place to enjoy good coffee. Great people and good customer service.

The portions are huge. I got a medium cup (up to 3 flavors) for just $5.50!! I came toward the end of the day, so they were out of their tiramisu flavor, but I ended up with guava cheesecake, pistachio, and Oreo--all of which were still delicious. I'll definitely be back to try the tiramisu gelato and their mangonada. Pistachio - One of their most popular flavors, and for good reason. You can taste the real pistachio--no artificial flavor at all. Light, airy, and not overly sweet. I just wish the pistachio flavor was a touch stronger. Guava Cheesecake - My favorite of the day! Tastes exactly like it sounds--sweet guava paired with creamy cheesecake. Reminds me of Porto's Bakery's guava cheese roll. Oreo - Classic Oreo flavor--exactly what you'd expect. Not mind-blowing, but still tasty. Their gelato overall is so airy and fluffy, without the heavy feeling of regular ice cream. Can't wait to come back!
