Checked this place out at the recommendation of a relative of mine, since we're staying only about a 10 minutes drive from Breckenridge. I'll say right off the bat that I can't really comment on the quality of the donuts, as I'm gluten intolerant and could only try a bite or two lol. The food that I had was fine, honestly a little boring for the price. However, what I can comment on are a few other things. First, I love the look of the place. There are so many cool licenses plates hanging all over the place, and generally speaking I just like the vibe. The seating is really cramped, though, and it was very loud in there, but those aren't dealbreakers for me at the end of the day. What I didn't really like was the service. The two ladies behind the counter were so rude for no reason. I get it, it was busy and I was with a party of 9 and that's complicated for any restaurant, but it really wasn't necessary for them to get so apparently annoyed at us. For example, I tried to be polite and got up to get a to-go cup for my coffee, and I asked if I needed to pay extra or something, and the lady just shoved it in my face. I tried to clarify to make sure I didn't need to pay any more, and she cut me off and said no. Then, the staff had the nerve to get mad at us because we were all at different tables, even though we were on the same ticket. This was, however, after the lady at the front insisted us 9 people be on the same ticket, when my partner and I tried to tell her that we'd pay separately. In other words, its not our fault that you made your job harder on yourself for no reason. There was also no way that 9 people could sit at the same table because of the aforementioned crampedness, so the rudeness of the staff made even less sense. Anyway, food was decent but the staff was genuinely very rude. Usually I'm very understanding when it comes to people being frustrated, so if it was enough for me to write a review about it, then you know it was bad. read more

Don't let the name fool you, this place is not just donuts! The donuts do look amazing, but I usually resist! This place opens early-6 am and gets crowded pretty fast, must be a local favorite! Also, it is cash only just so you know. It's a fun atmosphere with all kinds of signs and pictures all over the walls. Their breakfast is so good! Lots of choices, I usually get the Two Eggs Your Way-served with hashbrowns (yum!), toast and choice of bacon, ham, sausage or chorizo. They also have quesadillas, huevos rancheros, waffles, pancakes, you name it! Everything is great and we have been coming here for many years. So come on early to beat the line! read more

Everything about this place is a 10/10 experience. The Food, Donuts, Atmosphere, Aesthetic, perfect.

Just wish they had more beverage options, but that would never keep me from returning. Maple glazed donuts TODIEFOR and fun atmosphere!

Yes to the sausage roll, burrito to go, glazed donut, and Apple fritter. The pine cone was a meh for me. It was described as a cinnamon roll with a bit of apple flavor but the apple really didn't come through. If you are ordering under $10, bring cash. Otherwise they do take credit card, and they are a great breakfast spot before hitting the slopes. read more

The donuts are yummy, I got the chocolate frosted cake and chocolate frosted regular. The cake donut had a good consistency and was slightly crunchy on the edges and the chocolate was light but sweet. The blueberry oatmeal was steel cut and the blueberries were fresh. The Tom mcmuffun was good and I liked that the chorizo had a little spice to it. The service was good and fast. Prices were ok. I like the decor with the license plates and looking at them all. Not that much seating but we got lucky and found a seat. read more

These donuts are the ones that my partner and his friends dream of when they are not in the area. You'd think donuts are like..well, donuts, but these donuts are like....DONUTS!!! Did that make sense? But really, their blueberry donuts are a household favorite here, along with just about any other donut they have. I can't quite explain why it's a mile and above all other donut joints, but I do know that their crispy exterior and soft, fluffy interior is very hard to beat. The flavors are also top notch and freshness oozes from every steamy bite on a nice cold morning. I haven't tried their other items except for their coffee, which is scalding hot and not much to talk about, but almost everyone comes here for their donuts anyway. There's almost always a line out the door and for very good reason--give it a try! read more

Ambiance and service was solid at Daylight Donuts. Food arrived rather quickly and the restaurant certainly has an interesting feel to it. My only complaint with this establishment would be the price of the food I ordered in comparison to the amount of food I received. My total was around 16$ for a relatively small amount of food. While, yes, I understand that prices in Breckenridge are going to be a little inflated; Daylight Donuts seems to be on the extreme end of the inflation spectrum. With this in mind, I'd still recommend this place if looking for a casual donut experience. Maybe avoid if looking for a brunch experience with some bang for buck value. read more

Solid service and vibes, but the price is ridiculous. 9.75 for an egg, sausage, and muffin that is smaller than the palm of my hand. Giving credit where credit is due, their donuts are very good. The pricing for donuts is still tough to swallow. 1.75 for a small donut. read more

Been going to this place when it was a simple trailer in the late 80's! My absolutely favorite place for breakfast in Breckenridge. Made to order meals, great local diner style! AMAZING sausage rolls, great vibe, fresh, hot food, favorable portions! You won't be disappointed... read more

Great food and great location for the family. Fast and friendly service! Everyone is super friendly and the servings are very filling!

Cute place with a nice selection of donuts, rolls, and many options for breakfast. The huge raspberry bear claw was yummy, many thanks to the very nice man who took our order and warmed it up for us. He was so good he grabbed me a buttermilk donut while my slow brain was trying to find the words to tell him that's exactly what I wanted. He told me to come tomorrow for the apple fritter - apparently I look like a donut pig and yes, I am. I will be there 1st thing tomorrow for the apple fritter. The pancake was crispy on the edges, chewy and tender with just enough pull on the inside and very large. The cooked to order eggs were excellent. I like the self serve coffee, made just right. Things moved very quickly even though the place was crowded, we were lucky to get the last table inside. The only reason this is not a 5 * rating is due to the very dismissive attitude of the young lady also behind the counter. She was all smiles for the man in front of us but quite condescending to me, maybe I just look like a jerk or something. I hope I don't get her tomorrow when I come back to try the apple fritter and another breakfast. Thank you for the fresh donuts and the clean dining room with all the fun stuff on the walls to amuse ourselves while eating sugar and fried dough. read more

I went here on the early side of the morning and there was still a line, so it's very popular! The line moved pretty quickly though. Not much to say other than delicious donuts! read more

I've tried a lot of breakfast places but this is by far the best breakfast place I've ever been to. The service was exceptional, everything we ordered was homemade (including the ketchup), and the place had a really cute diner vibe. Would 10/10 recommend. We will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Highly disappointing to say the least. The only plus side of this experience was the very nice woman who helped fix a problem. The donuts had to be day old. They had a taste like food that had picked up the smells of the kitchen. The food was ok but nothing to write home about. The guy who took our order hates his job and maybe his life (it was that strong of a vibe) . His lack of personality is one thing but he was simply put out by having to do any part of his job. And my spouse believed him to be the owner! The chicken fried steak was not hot but tasted good. The breakfast burrito with beans and about 2 scoops of hash browns was warm enough. The top salsa tasted like a can of stewed tomatoes. The nice lady was accommodating in that she replaced the curdling cream set out with the coffee. She was very apologetic. To spend $48 on a mediocre meal and less than par donuts makes me mad. The place was relativity clean. I just can't get over his attitude and the disappointing donuts. read more

Daylight Donuts - Interior of restaurant - Donuts Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

I went here 3 times during our trip as it's one of the only places open for coffee and breakfast at 6AM. Between myself and the family, we tried the cinnamon roll, biscuits and gravy, bacon, pancakes, sausage, and of course the donuts. Donuts: 3/5 - Great flavor but had to warm them up at home with them being a little hard. The blueberry raised was amazing and the family enjoyed the chocolate varieties. Coffee: 2/5 - Just okay and the coffee mugs are so small that they're barely bigger than shot glasses. Extremely annoying. Pancakes and Sausage: 5/5 - Extremely large pancake and sausage links were delicious! Biscuits & Gravy with side of Bacon: 4/5 - Traditional Southern White Sausage gravy was very good and the side of bacon was large..enjoyed it! Cinnamon Roll: 4/5 - Big and wife really liked the flavor after we warmed it up at home. Overall, it was one of my favorite places to eat in Breck. read more

Donuts are a food group for me and Daylight Donuts are fantastic! I love cake donuts more than raised and they had both! I tried the vanilla cake donut, glazed holes and a frosting filled long john. Everything was so good that I ate as much as possible and of course my stomach paid the price! They do have diner style breakfasts with hash browns a and eggs that you should order if you need to get your bill price up to meet the $10 minimum for credit cards. I'm lucky my friend had cash or I wouldn't have gotten to experience these amazing donuts! read more

The donuts were fine. The buttermilk was probably the best of the bunch. Apple fritter needed more apples and more volume in each of the clusters. The middle aged Karen working the register needed an attitude adjustment; super ornery. read more

I think they should change their name, or at least add 'and breakfast'. I would not have come here just for the donuts but when I was told that they serve breakfast I was up for a visit. Order breakfast off of the chalkboard menu and then find a table. They will give you a playing card and then a runner will bring out you're order. You'll have to refill your coffee and get your own glass of water and silverware. Water is a MUST for high elevation hydration even when bar hopping. The license plates and dollar bills on the walls remind me of a couple dive bars in the Keys. I had their version of an egg McMuffin. They call theirs the Tom Macmuffin. You pick the breakfast meat of your choice and they add the eggs and cheese on an english muffin. Hint: order a side of green chili and smother the sandwich with it and use a knife and fork for a Southwest flair version of Mickey D's egg mcmuffin. See my pic. Hash brown are the scattered kind fried on a flat top grill and are very good. I liked my muffin sandwich with the chili and would come back just for that alone. It was four stars! Other orders in my party was a quesidea which was average and a chorizo breakfast burrito which didn't agree with the person who ordered it. He got very ill. I'm not a fan of either so it's something I can't say yea of nay to. I'm going with 3 stars overall due to no table service and having to refill our water and coffee. read more

My family and I decided to stop for a mid morning treat at Daylight Donuts which was suggested to us by one of the friendly gondola workers in Breckenridge. And a great suggestion it was. With many tasty options to choose from we deferred to the staff to help us make our final decision. Naturally, our donut of choice ended up being the Pinecone. The Pinecone resembles what's it's named after due to the scoring that is traditionally done prior to frying it. A glaze surrounds the outside and provides some moisture to the donut. With cinnamon hints it reminds you slightly of a cinnamon roll. The lightly crisp edges and soft, doughy inside would have paired wonderfully with a cup of Joe. Next time... read more

Quick and friendly service, very early in the morning. Donuts were good, as you would expect. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because it still feels a little too much to pay $1.65 for a single raised donut. read more

I love this place. My hips don't. Donuts are super fresh and they have the cake donuts down (I prefer a denser donut). The ambiance is old school ski town vibe which I love and love that they open so early bc I'm an earlier riser. What truly makes this place 5 stars is that the coffee is actually good - some donut shops the donuts are great and the coffee is an afterthought. Not here!!! I haven't had any of their burritos or breakfast plates bc I'm a donut addict so can't comment on that. read more

What an adorable little breakfast dinner! The staff was sharp and quick with taking the order (there were 6 of us) and serving the food. Super kind and friendly as well. The blueberry cheesecake twist donut and the cinnamon twist donut were amazing. Pancakes and waffles are great, and so is the Tom Macmuffin sandwich. A must visit while in Breck. Funky and fun decor as well! read more

Monstrous pancakes, Belgian waffles and donuts all great! Bottomless coffee mug. What one want for breakfast?

This was a great find in Breckinridge, others must have agreed because it was busy at 8:30 on Monday morning! We grabbed a dozen donuts, but ate two there and they were delicious! The decor of the place was pretty neat with license plates and local pictures. They had other options for breakfast that looked delicious as well. Highly recommend this place if you're ever in Breckinridge. read more

Bought a dozen to go and was really wanting these donuts to be amazing but they were just ok..Fresh is just as important as taste but these seemed a bit on the staler side. We still had donuts left over which isnt a good sign when you have 4 teenagers in the house. Maybe it was just an off day for the bakery? read more

For a donut spot, their other options are fantastic. We went in and got served at a table, service was fast and the place was just cool to sit in. Definitely worth a stop for breakfast read more

This is my second time eating here. I have to say the donuts are amazing. They have an awesome selection and are open early enough to grab food before hitting the slopes! Their Belgian waffle was super tasty as well and super filling. Having a side of hash-browns finished off the meal! My sister got their biscuits and gravy and devoured the whole thing. She said the biscuit was delicious and fluffy and crispy. And not to forget their service is great. Their indoor seating is small but definitely is enough to eat a quick but before clearing out for other customers to enjoy. read more

Awesome easy friendly great Donuts and yummy Pancakes. Would definitely stop here again read more

Daylight Donuts is so much more than donuts. There is inside and outside seating for full breakfast meals. The meals looked great. We ordered breakfast burritos. They were very good! We also got a donut for each member of our family. Yummy! read more

So it's not really a donut shop, it's more of a restaurant that happens to offer donuts. The food is better than the donuts and the service is subpar. The lady at the counter loudly flapping open a bag for donuts each time is order is placed, has no service or selling skills. read more

Excellent. Danville - don't skip this place. Best donuts I've ever tasted! Made on site from scratch-
