The storefront is very cute with off-street parking. This is a more customizable donut shop that's topped to order. They have a selection of donuts with various toppings or you can make your own. The donuts are flaky and crumbles when you bite into them. The toppings are fun and there's something for everyone. These are normal sized donuts and are pretty light.
Love this place! The doughnuts are fun and yummy. Stools for kids to watch them make their doughnuts. You can design your own or get already curated doughnuts. My favorite was the S'mores on chocolate. Their breakfast sandwiches are good too. I get my coffee someplace else, they have regular coffee nothing special.
SO many options! But you know what I deem odd... they don't have glazed donuts. I feel like glazed is such a staple and a a base line for comparing donuts. But anyways- there were 17 of us so I snuck out on Sunday morning to buy a dozen. I went back to the hotel, cut all the donuts into 4's and then we had a donut sampler. I can share, the donuts were ok. Nothing special although I do appreciate what they a re doing but nothing knocked my socks off. Birthday cake: lacked flavor but kids like sprinkles! Smores: Something odd here, can't put my finger on it Fluffernutter: This was my favorite but the gobs of peanut butter were inconsistent and I got a bite that made me feel the age old dog when the doorbell goes off. Just too much! French toast: I am not a huge cinnamon fan and as soon as I bit into it i regretted trying this one but I can share as i continued with the bit it got more enjoyable Buttercrunch: the chocolate topping took over Cannoli: I have had cannoli donuts elsewhere. I appreciate that they make cannoli donuts becuase not a lot of palces do. It was messy. It had too much chocolate. Not enough actually cannoli taste because it's all in the center. I can say- thank for the ninja turtle donut. My son got a huge kick out of it!
We have visited this shop 2 years in a row and doesn't disappoint. They have specialty donuts or you can design your own! The staff is very friendly and helpful. We tried the coffee this year which was also yummy! They have a little sitting/picnic area in the back that is very kid friendly! Highly recommend trying if you love donuts
The donuts look beautiful, but the taste is just okay. There was a line but it moved quickly, customer service was warm.
Are they ever open? How do you afford to run your shop for 15 hours a week? Went there at least ten times in the past two years. 8 times out of 10 they were closed. Shop closes at noon and open on weekends only. Donuts seems to be very much regular donuts, with high fructose syrup glaze that is mixed from right in front of you.
Ah, Captain Baker's. Obviously, they have the best donuts ever. But I also come here for the breakfast sandwiches. Delicious!! I love all the creative combos you can choose in the donut department. They have a nice gift shop in the back. I bought a T-shirt (I don't mind advertising for these guys, so that should tell you something), and recently I bought a Cape Cod Monopoly game. Super!
The cutest donut shop! A donut for everyone. So many different and unique flavors to pick from. Donuts were extremely fresh and flavorful. The size is perfect! Friendly staff, seats available inside and out. Cute little gift area too! Will definitely return to try some new flavors!
Very cute interior and a ton of "flavors." You can make your own by picking a glaze, topping, base donut etc. They also have pre-selected flavor combinations to select. None of the donuts are filled - they are all topped with either icing or the "filling" itself. For example, the apple caramel donut pictured here is an old fashioned, with vanilla glaze/icing, caramel drizzle and apple pie filling on top in the center. The donuts themselves are fresh, but extremely sweet. I think if you want a "lighter" version, you'd have to select a plain or old fashioned base with a glaze on top, at most. The donuts are a decent size; I'd think one is enough depending on the kind and your appetite! The employee was nice enough and told me what was popular. TLDR: novel shop with cute ambiance and interesting selection of donuts you can "create." On the pricier side for what it is but I'd return just to sample other flavors!
Nice little donut shop on Cape Cod with some gourmet, specialty donuts perfect to kick off the morning. The donuts have some real art to them and the specialty donuts are hand-dipped/topped to order. If you like being adventurous and trying some unique flavors then this is the donut shop for you! They also have some more traditional cake donuts but go big or go home when you're at Captain Baker Donuts. We had one dirt donut which was a chocolate donut with chocolate frosting and a gummy worm, a traditional cinnamon sugar donut and then a blueberry muffin donut which was a blueberry donut with an icing drizzle and some crumble on top. The coffees were decent but nothing to write home about. The backyard of Captain Baker Donuts had a few tables set up which made for a nice spot to enjoy your donut and coffee outdoors. There also is a small gift shop in a shed-like building out back so get a little shopping done post-chowing down on a donut.
The old fashioned donuts on their own are pretty good (not too sweet). They have a cake/crumbly texture. But the frosting/glazes, toppings, drizzles can easily make them way too sweet. Recommend the bam-bam (tastes like fruity pebbles and surprisingly not too sweet) and blueberry muffin donut. The raspberry lemonade was too sugary and we didn't like the flavor. The Rose Victorian wasn't too memorable, tastes just Iike any other strawberry donut. Go for a different flavor. Other things to note: - All donuts are definitely pretty looking and Instagram worthy. - The shop is cute but only has one table inside. - You can see the workers glaze and top your donut. - Place is only open 7am-12pm. - Crowded, but lines move fast. Take a look at the menu and have your order ready in advance. - Credit cards accepted. Worth at least one visit if you're out on the Cap2
The donut shop offered fair prices for unique and rare donut flavors. However, the service felt rushed as you have limited time to decide on pricing and options while in line. Although I didn't try their coffee, the coconut flavor sounded appealing, and they had an impressive range of flavors. It's worth mentioning that they had good gluten-free options. The shop is very cute as well with staff well-knowledgeable in what they are selling. Personally, I found the donuts a bit disappointing. While they were presented well, they lacked depth in flavor and variety. The half dozen I purchased consisted mostly of old-fashioned base donuts with only one different flavor (chocolate, shocker). For specialty donuts, I expected a more diverse selection. I was hoping for some filled donuts at the very least to add more excitement to the overall experience. Especially for the apple pie donut to be filled, but nope, it wasn't. It's good for a one time for the experience but definitely wouldn't go again.

I wish I could give this place a hundred stars. The donuts are so light and they top them when you order them so you are always getting a fresh donut. The seating is the back is so awesome. The coffee is so so good and the staff is just the nicest. These donuts may just be the best I have ever had and will be making this place a must stop every time we come to the cake. The cannoli donut in particular was my fav!!! read more

We couldn't find this last year so we made a point if finding it this year. Deliciousness with so many options. And I had pistachio iced coffee too. We chose the lemon cloud( it was filled in the hole only ), Italiano which was gooey yet the right amount of expression and lastly a butter crunch (could have used more butter crunch get on top). We've never had "cake type donuts" that were so light and airy . 3 donuts was just over $10 -- eating deliciousness at Captain Baker Donut Shop. read more
The doughnuts of every kid's dream. Captain Baker focuses on sugary creations crafted with the ultimate sweet tooth in mind. As a personal preference, I don't like my doughnuts too sweet. I like interesting flavors without being overwhelmed by the sugar. These doughnuts felt like eating a birthday cake given the amount of sweetness in each bite. Many people like this level of sweetness but it was a little too much for me. Again personal preference here. We got the strawberry lemonade doughnut, smores doughnut, and the skipper breakfast sandwich. Both doughnuts were good, a heavy cake doughnut and generous coating of icing but the sweetness got to me after a few bites. They certainly aren't the fancy doughnuts you'd expect from Blackbird or Union Square in the city but a step up from Dunkin' Breakfast sandwich was standard and delicious. Met expectations of a egg, cheese, Canadian bacon on a bagel which is a good thing. On a busy morning the parking lot is a nightmare because it is tight and you have a lot of cars trying to back out and turn around. They make each individual doughnut to order so there is a little bit of a wait but it wasn't too bad. The inside was really crowded and tight which wasn't great in this time of COVID. Anyways it's a solid place to check out as part of the Cape experience and a nice place to take your kids. read more

Captain Baker Donuts has donuts for everyone! You can stick with the classics or make your own creation. They also have an extensive menu with fun donut offerings like the Coffee Crumb donut (pictured). Donuts are topped to order. Great for kids and adults. The donuts are light and fluffy, and not too big. The inside offers minimal seating but there are picnic tables out back to eat at. There is a parking lot but it's fairly small. I'd recommend Captain Baker Donuts if you're looking for something different than your typical diner breakfast. read more

Really cute place inside and out Everyone is so helpful cause it difficult to decide between all of the great pre-designed and custom flavor/design options! They get made right in front of you which is a cool experience for kids. There is a cool space for your dogs and a cute little shop in the rear! We had a Lemon curd donut, a custom maple icing with vanilla glaze, and "the garden" donut is a chocolate cake donut with chips and a gummy worm (like dirt with a worm) - sounds funny but it's really yummy read more

So glad we found this place! We will absolutely be back! We did a quick search on Yelp for donut places near us (staying in Dennis). The donuts tasted amazing! The staff was so helpful, the shop was adorable. read more

This is a great shop to have with your favorite coffee or specialty drink. Very close to where we were staying and the donuts are fresh. My wife and I would sneak out for a quick coffee and donut before our son wakes up! read more

The best breakfast sandwiches on Cape Cod! Made fresh everyday and so yummy! I've gotten the bacon, egg and cheese, ham egg and cheese, & sausage, egg and cheese; all delicious on an everything bagel or Portuguese muffin. Their tea and coffee are also delicious! Also, love the donuts and fun atmosphere but come early! Service is amazing and everyone is so friendly. read more
I love donuts. I especially love cake based or old-fashioned donuts which are the donuts made here. It's amazing they make their own donuts and customize them / made-to-order, but I found them to be pretty expensive and only OK as far as taste goes. They're definitely very sweet and not bad, but I don't think I can get over that they're priced slightly less than donuts I've seen that are twice their size, such as Kane's or Union Square. I know this is a locally owned business, and I know someone who's friends with the owner, so I feel bad, but I'm also trying to be honest at the same time. The shop itself is super cute and clean - it's perfect for young kids because of the made-to-order donuts where you can see when they're making their order. It also took FOREVER for a breakfast sandwich to be made, so if you're looking for quick, then unfortunately this isn't the place for you either. I will give them props that they do have gluten free/dairy free options as well, so it's not dietary restriction-limiting, which is great since I have friends and family who are dairy free and/or gluten-free. I have only been there once, so maybe I need to give them another shot, but I wasn't very impressed, so we'll have to see the next time I'm in the area. It is after all less than a mile from the place I stay - so there's no harm in trying again, maybe bringing the nieces/nephews though and not during a pandemic. read more
We stopped at Captain Baker on our way to the Nantucket ferry and were not disappointed. This shop is so cute! They have a great selection of fancy donuts, as well as a few staples. Like many places, they make the same delicious fried donuts and top them right in front of you. We were amped to try this place and I am more than happy to write a positive review. Their selection changes but they have many great summer-y flavored donuts right now, like "Sunny Summer" w/ lemon glaze + coconut flakes, and "Blueberry Pie" w/ vanilla glaze + graham crackers and ACTUAL blueberry pie pieces Definitely check this place out if you are in the area. Parking was tough but the line moved quickly and there was plenty of outdoor seating. read more

Went in today around 11:30 before they closed and ordered a dozen donuts because we couldn't decide, they said it would be 20 minutes but definitely took less time! The donuts came out warm and the entire staff was so nice and helpful despite us coming in 30 minutes before closing! Will definitely be coming again! read more

Excellent breakfast sandwiches! Not impressed with the donuts. Visually spectacular, but lacking in taste. Every donut is the same base donut, dressed differently. Very dry. I can see the novelty of going here while on the cape. Nice place. I just wasn't impressed at all with the donuts. read more
