    Glazed, cinnamon roll, apple fritter, chocolate, twist
    Joe K.

    After an unpleasant dentist visit, what better way to cheer up than with donuts? I've been eager to try Cheer Donuts, and they certainly made me happier after hearing bad news from the dentist. It's located in a non-assuming shopping center on Old St. Augustine, and is run by a delightful Southern lady who was happy to answer all of my questions about her donuts. There's a wide selection of raised donuts (ring and specialty), most of which are just ridiculously large and often doused in icing/glaze. I bought five donuts (about $15)- glazed, chocolate, apple fritter, cinnamon roll with raisins, and a twist, and filled up a box that fits a dozen normal donuts. These donuts are Southern sweet, so it you like sugary donuts, this is your spot. I particularly enjoyed the apple fritter, which had a nice crunch on the outside, was properly done on the inside, and was covered in a wonderful glaze. I enjoyed the glazed and chocolate, both of which were pleasantly soft and delicious. I'll skip the chocolate/vanilla twist next time around. It was good (and large), but wasn't as tasty as the others. Cheer Donuts is new, but is off to a solid start. I'd like to see a proper menu with prices, as well as description cards in front of the donuts to make selection a little easier. I'm sure there will be improvements to the shop as time moves on, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it grows. If you're going to pay $3 for a donut, skip the hipster donuts you'll encounter at some other shops in the area and give Cheer Donuts a try!

    If you like mom and pop shops, this is for you. Today it was just mom and to be honest, not sure if there is a pop. Anyway, this place is brand brand BRAND new. No menu posted, no prices listed, just the display counter and the nice lady behind it. The kitchen is clean and wide open for all to see. Nothing behind the scenes here. I bought a couple of glazed, apple fritter, twist, and a bear claw. Unfortunately, no cake donuts. The glazed was good and so was the fritter. These 5 pastries were $15 - so an average of $3. As a long-time Jax resident, it's not the donut shoppe but it's also a shorter drive for me. The flavors are there but I think what does it for most of us is the texture that the OG has been able to perfect. As soon as she can get some help, she plans to be opened 7 days a week.

    Regular Glazed  so good!!!

    Wanted to give this place a try. The women working was very nice and friendly. The chef looked like he was bothered and wished he was some where else. Wasn't to thrilled with the food. Ordered a variety of donuts. Definitely will stick to The Donut Shop or Publix. Would not be my go to for donuts.

    Sausage egg and cheese biscuit

    I'm not a donut person, I came for the breakfast sandwich sign! Great sausage egg and cheese on a homemade biscuit. Got some donuts for the roommates and ended up eating the marbled and the strawberry cinnamon roll myself... so so delicious. Very classic, great flavor. Yeasty. The staff was so kind, the lady with the donuts and the chef, and it's true - Miss Shirley gives you the donut tour! It's a nice experience and not expensive. I took everything home but there was plenty of seating.

    These donuts are the best in Duval and Clay county! I like that they are thick and yeast flavored instead of just grease and sugar.

The Strawberry Crumble donut was the only donut we tried, and it was pretty good, but I'd guess I slightly prefer the (excellent) Krispy Kremes.

I've never tried a kolache before, but I can say the hot dog croissant I had at Cruffin & Tea a while back was much better, including the quality of the hot dog. Apple fritters are a favorite, but theirs was enormous, so we couldn't try many things here if we got that, so we saved it for a future visit. The owner also said the cinnamon roll were good, and that's another favorite to try on a future visit. They also had lumpia on this Saturday, but were out of empanadas by the time we got there after noon. Prices were reasonable: $10.81 with tax for the three items. I'd like to try this place again.

My first visit was a week or so after my grandson was born, and my son & I popped over to get a dozen of the Halloween seasonal doughnuts. I loved seeing that all of the doughnuts are literally made to order, WHEN ordered! The decorations & toppings are also fun & tasty. Since then (mid October), I've enjoyed sampling from at least 3 dozen doughnuts with no regrets. In fact, on our last visit, we stopped at Duck's Donuts FIRST to pick up a fresh dozen for the weekend. And by "weekend", I really just mean Saturday night & Sunday morning. These doughnuts are so good that I wasn't surprised that only 2 were left when we headed home the next day. Although they are BEST warm & fresh, these doughnuts are also delicious the next day. And I've really enjoyed the seasonal variety dozens. My son has mentioned that he & my DIL pick up doughnuts here regularly, even without me in town. In fact, Duck's Donuts wasn't even new to them when I suggested going the first time! [#40 of 2025]

Every bite, I always savor, because it's one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Their fries are also fire! Perfectly fried, crispy and golden, with some special seasoning on top!

They also offer doggy doughnuts for your fur friends. Their doughnuts are excellent, but taste is more like fried dough from the carnival. I love them but some people may prefer more cake-like doughnuts (dunkin style). The new savory doughnuts are also pretty tasty - I tried the Hawaiian BBQ chicken recently. I don't love ordering coffee drinks at Parlor. Often if you get something with Espresso, it get's stuck in a long queue because they only have one barista and espresso machine. Their drinks are also just average - nothing special. Most of the staff at Parlor are young and still learning, but friendly enough.

We've been going to Parlor occasionally since they opened and they have a good product. It's not traditional like the maple bars or apple fritters I grew up eating, but they are fresh, and when cooked the right way are really pleasing - kind of light (relatively speaking, I mean, it IS a donut). Minus one star because sometimes they aren't cooked as well and can be a bit doughy in the middle. Those days I eat the edges which are still good. The minis are a great way to avoid this, also - and I especially like the coconut ones. Boston cream, maple, cinnamon churro, all the flavors are great and I love the less common ones too - haven't tried many but lavender honey is so good. Great coffee and service, too - check this place out!
