    Glazed Donut Holes
    Ashton M.

    Driving through Alamogordo and found this place on Yelp so we decided to try it out. I cannot recommend this place enough. There were 3 cars in front of us and we only waited around 10 minutes to place our order and receive our food, but it gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted. The sausage and cheese kolaches are to DIE for! The cheese being inside of the sausage makes sure that the cheese doesn't overpower the amazing taste of the sausage. We collectively agreed as a family that the cinnamon rolls should be called cinnamon loafs because of how massive they are. They are also incredible. As people who come from a place where Krispy Kreme is worshipped and the only glazed donuts worth eating, the glazed donuts are incredible and honestly are better in all of our opinions. I'm not sure if this place is truly amazing or if Alabama has just been holding out on good breakfast food. Either way, I highly recommend this for your morning breakfast.

    They are drive thru only as I'm guessing to not have people inside the shop, so expect there to be a line. We went at around 9:15 and we're waiting for about 15 minutes, but honestly with how amazing the donuts tasted and with how sweet the woman at the was handling payments at the window was, it was totally worth it! We got half a dozen of donuts for 5.50:) Side note: after eating another one(lol) the glazed donut reminded me of how the beignets at Disneyland taste! Just needs a little powdered sugar and it's basically the same!

    Within 10 minutes, our dozen was almost gone

    Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed coming here this morning. Right when you walk in the door, you are hit with the wonderful smell of freshly made donuts. We couldn't not get a dozen and some things were added in after our "dozen" was complete. First off, the glazed was AMAZING! The chocolate topped donut, AMAZING! (My husbands favorite). The maple topped donut AMAZING! It tasted like a pancake or waffle... to die for! The woman behind the counter was super nice and very welcoming. Husband got a coffee with cream and sugar - said it was a good cup of coffee! "I would get it again" Did I forget to mention they have a drive-thru? Yes my friends! The line was constant the entire time we were there. Absolutely outstanding. No wonder there is no Dunkin' Donuts here, it was miserably fail and then fail some more with Daylight Donuts in town! 10/10 100% Will be coming back for more, much much more.

    Donuts are amazing but the wait is absurd. Expect to wait at least an hour. It's not because the donuts are that amazing that people have to wait forever for amazing donuts. The service is beyond slow. At least 10 minutes minimum per car in the drive thru line. For literally an avoidable reason. It just takes absolutely forever to run your card on their dial up machine. The one women who runs it all is very sweet and amazing she just refuses to get help.

    I absolutely love Daylight Donuts!! I feel like every time I've come here, they're so nice!! The donut holes are amazing and my sister has an unnatural obsession over the beef and potato burritos. Omg!! I tried the green chile burrito for the first time (this is shocking cause I used to come here every morning in high school which was like 15 years ago), and wow!! If you like chile rellano, you'll love this burrito! I can't believe all the time I've wasted not eating the green chile burrito!!! Oh well, looks like I have a lot of catching up to do! OH, I almost forgot!!! The hours are wrong!! They close between 1 to 2... so coming here for lunch is TOTALLY fine! You're welcome!

    Best doughnuts in town, coffee is pretty good too. If you have an early morning meeting, this is the place to get the doughnuts! Always fast and friendly. If you're looking for something more substantial go with the Jalapeno 'Pig in a Blanket' Tasty, spicy and filling. The breakfast sandwiches are awesome too...

    See all

    They are always out of certain ice cream every time I've tried to order. Always out of doughnuts also and always a long wait.

    Yep, I agree, probably the best donuts in town. Love me some apple fritters, and overall they're a pretty affordable place.
