Chocolate Frosted, Twix, Italiano
Thomas T.

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.

Yummy!

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 were so delicious!!! The shop was so cute! And the sweet ladies at the counter, gave my dog a free dog donut!

The donuts look beautiful, but the taste is just okay. There was a line but it moved quickly, customer service was warm.

Never open!

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.

Breakfast was great, pancakes amazing. Home fries are cooked perfectly, not an afterthought here…read more Service from when we put out names I. For a table to leaving was awesome. Everyone on staff was courteous and friendly More coffee was offered multiple times. Can't do better than Red Cottage Very impressed

Stopped in for breakfast and was greeted and seated immediately. Place was very busy for early…read moreafternoon and was impressed that only two servers were working the whole restaurant. Both were very friendly and did a great job handling everyone. Menu is printed on the placemat on the table and pretty extensive. Plenty of choices for everyone from breakfast to lunch. We chose the cinnamon french toast, chocolate chip pancakes, home fries, bacon, and a cup of chowder. Given how busy they were the food arrived pretty quickly. Chowder should have arrived first but the server forgot about it and offered to put the pancakes under the heat lamp till I finished the chowder but I decided not to do that as I figured it would ruin the pancakes. The chowder was loaded with plenty of clams and potatoes and had a good flavor to it. The chowder had a light creamy texture which was very nice compared to some of the gloopy chowders you can get. The cinnamon French toast was two large sliced of their home made cinnamon bread coated with a light sugar sauce which enhanced the flavor of the toast. There were plenty of cinnamong swirls in the bread which made it very tasty. The chocolate chip pancakes (2) had a small pile of miniature chocolate chips on top with plenty mixed into the pancakes. The pancakes were light and fluffy and very tasty. The home fries were well fried, as asked for, with plenty of onions mixed in. It was very nice that they were red skinned potatoes so the pieces were small and crispy. The bacon, 3 slices) came well done, again as asked for, and was super crispy and tasted like applewood smoked bacon. Ordered a slice of their forest berry pie to go and then forgot it! But I know it was going to be great because it looked fantastic. Didn't go back for it as we remebered it about an hour after we left and they would have been closed by then. Seating is comfortable with a combination of tables for two and four people. All in all a great experience and we'll be going back when we come to the Cape again.

A must-try breakfast spot with gluten free options!…read more I opted for the "Putting On The Grits": Local grits topped with flavorful braised short rib, perfectly poached eggs, Gouda, crisped leeks & onions pickled in red wine. Out of this world flavor combination, hearty, fresh and a fantastic, cozy atmosphere to boot! Our waitress was a joy-- it was clear she loved working at Ann & Fran's! Highly recommend to anyone

What can I not say about this place…read more I came here a year ago based off all you fellow yelper's guidance and you're usually 100% correct. I remembered how great of a breakfast I had, that when I went to the Cape again, I made it a point to come back. The counter waitress is unbelievably friendly. She busts her butt and thank god, because it makes everything special. I ordered the Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes with a side of bacon. The medley of sweetness, saltiness and creaminess from the blueberry sauce made with fresh blueberries, ricotta and pancakes all blended nicely. I felt like every bite was heaven. I probably didn't need the bacon, but it was cooked just how I like it... well done! The waitress never let my coffee mug reach the bottom and she was always smiling. I saw some muffins on the wall and almost took home some cornbread jalapeño ones because they looked divine, but somehow I managed to contain myself. The prices were very reasonable. I would definitely like to come back soon!
