Nice selection of donuts. Unique options, fresh and delicious. Key lime was especially good. Would recommend giving them a try if you're in the area. read more

Love Bugs Bakery has just okay cupcakes. The frosting wasn't made with the rich buttercream that they should have at bakeries. The food dye in the frosting made the miniature cakes even less appetizing. I may venture back to try the donuts, but for a bakery, your cakes should special and they just weren't. read more

I'm a fan of fresh baked food and I'm definitely a fan of this place! I usually go pretty late in the day and expect the pastries not to taste as fresh, but was I wrong. It seems like no matter what the time of the day, the cakes and pastries are good. I also tried out a mocha frappuccino. Fraps I've had at other places tend to be overpowered with sugar and sweet flavor. That was not the case here, I could actually taste the coffee flavor. Before I left, I grabbed a bag of their yeast rolls. I was surprised how soft they still were the evening after. They also make fresh deli sandwiches. I'll have to try one on a future visit. read more

So unfortunately I have to give these guys such a poor review due to one reason, and that's day old donuts. I love the donuts here, they are so yummy but, when you are paying a premium price for donuts you want fresh donuts not ones that were made the day before! The last few times I've been here my Roomate has ended up with at least one of her donuts being at least a day old. She likes some of the more old fashioned donuts, meaning donuts that probably aren't their biggest sellers. But, if you are going to offer them they should be fresh, if not you shouldn't be selling them for the same price as the fresh ones. The last time I went here I got 1 dozen donuts and it cost me $19 and some change. The ones that have been day old are the old fashioned, the raspberry cheesecake, cinnamon roll (which costs even more!). So if you are going to sell day old donuts, you should let the customers know. Had I known we would have picked something fresh. Or offer them at a discount if you don't want to write them off as a complete loss. read more

I have tried all on the others cronuts around. In restaurants, bakeries, and even Dunkin Donuts have attempted to recreate the cronut made famous by the Dominique Ansel Bakery in Manhattan. I read a very interesting review in Florida Today and I thought I should give Love Bugs a try. I am glad I did. Though different from the original their version of the cronut is fantastic. Fresh, flaky, soft, and tasty. Perfect with coffee. My only criticism would be that there is just a bit too much glaze and its a bit to sweet. Other than that I am very impressed. read more

First, let me say thanks to management. Donuts and biscuits and gravy are bad for me, so your actions keeping me from ordering them in the future (at least from you) should keep me healthier. As a repeat customer that has given them a lot of my money and recommendations, this review isn't about the quality of their products overall, which are great. Once they started offering biscuits and gravy, I was excited and ordered a large portion. And it was very large. They offered half-portions, which was still plenty for a serving. So I started ordering the half-portion. Whenever the owner/manager would take my order, he would always try to up-sell me. No problem, I'm in business, I get it. But he is very aggressive. To the point I started pre-empting him by saying no, I don't want the full, just the half in a joking way so I didn't have to get pressured into always buying more. So he suggested ordering the full and he would split it into two orders. That way I save money and he gets to sell more. Win - win. So I started doing this going forward. I would also often order donuts there as well. Apparently at some point he decided that was a mistake, because he would fill the order but it started seeming like he was doing me a favor or he just wasn't happy to have my business. Note: I would also tip 20% on the pickup order because I appreciated the service of his team, which is consistently friendly other than him. Today I guess he had enough of splitting it up. He sent out one of his staff who said instead of charging me for two half orders, they would only charge me for the full, but would charge me 50 cents for the carton. When I mentioned they had never done that before, the staff person basically relayed to me he was told to do it because it was costing (the owner/manager) extra money to split it. Now, I get it isn't much of a charge, and if they no longer wanted to provide the split, then okay. However, when I got to the office and opened the order, it was a significantly smaller portion in each. Combined, about the size of what had previously been a half order. This clearly tells me they just no longer want my business and don't value me as a customer. So, okay, Dunkin Donuts is a couple blocks away. Their donuts aren't as good, but at least I don't have to feel like a jackass when I want some empty calories for breakfast. read more

The gentleman behind the counter was very sweet... almost as sweet as those delicious donuts! A lot of gourmet options. read more

They have a lot more seating then I thought about a dozen tables, no free reservations. Close to closing desserts are 1/2 off, good but not wow. Coffee is unlimited refills. There is sometimes a Groupon. I tried the donut bacon egg & cheese sandwich liked the sweet & savory. The crossiant sandwich is big. Friendly service. Single bathroom is his & hers. read more

Since they closed their Rockledge Location, it is quite a haul to get to the Melbourne location. I made several attempts, but seemed to always arrive after they closed at 1pm. Today I got there are 11:07 and not 1 donut to be had. Very disappointed! read more

Great donuts! Nice variety of muffins, bagels, and donuts. We tried the cherry cake donut, eclairs, and red velvet cake donut with cream cheese frosting. We also bought a couple of their Halloween sugar cookies. Everything was delicious! They have a large variety to try, and I believe they also have samples. I am going to have to try the maple bacon donut next time. They also serve deli sandwiches with Boar's Head meats....plan on trying one of those as well. read more

Had the simple glazed donut and it was wonderful. The glaze is a nice amount. not too sweet and overpowering. The donut was a little on the doughy side but still wonderful. The cashier swore by the coconut cream donut and called it the best they have. I will definitely give it a try next time. read more

This place is absolutely amazing ! You will NOT be disappointed. Hands down best donuts and muffins we've ever had . Also have a variety of breakfast Sandwiches that are to die for :) read more

Used to love coming here before they changed management. The PB&J donut used to be my absolute favorite. It was light, airy, filled with raspberry jam, and had a generous PB frosted coating. Since then, the donuts have been so thick and dense and bit too sweet. The PB&J donut now has barely any PB frosting, dense batter, and an overfill of jam. The chocolate covered strawberry donut has such a sweet filling it was sickening. The breakfast sandwiches are always great, though. Cupcakes are huge and flavorful as well, but the cake itself can be dry depending what flavor you get. All in all, it's better than DD, but still not the best donut shop. read more

We stopped in on a trip up north to an even with our kids and are so thankful that we did! Donuts were heavenly and amazing! I think we had one of every kind! Our kids loved the Love Bug and the Coconut Cream was a piece of heaven. Wish we could have tried them all!!! Sandwiches were good and very hot! A little light on the meat but we are from New Jersey so the expectations are high in that area and just order a double meat now. I would suggest if you are close or even far away to give this place a try. Staff was super kind, food was great and the only suggestion would be to have a craft if milk or half and half for the coffee not the little plastic cups you have to peel the kids off. We will be back soon!!!! read more

I stopped by Love Bugs Donuts a few weeks ago to enjoy some post diet treats. I arrived first thing in the morning and the bakery smelled amazing! The donut selection is really good and the donuts taste amazing. My favorite was the love bug donut a yeast donut (brownie batter filled), the orange creamsicle (cake donut), and the banana cream donut a yeast donut (filled with banana pudding). I got almost one of everything but these were my top picks. In addition to great donuts the customer service was excellent. I had a million questions and the owner took the time to answer them all as if I was the only customer. He also decided to let me sample two of his donuts because I couldn't make a decision and he didn't even charge me for it...this is what made my experience an easy 5 Stars. Would recommend to anyone in the Melbourne area. read more

The family loved the donuts we got from here. They tasted fresh and sweet. The price was right and the selection was awesome I'll be back for some coffee soon read more

They used to be really great but the service has gone downhill. My last visit was my last. Though I FINALLY got to order and enjoy the food, I was ignored for over fifteen minutes while they were on the phone talking about cupcakes for a wedding. I stood waiting looking around at the dark gloomy lobby and decided the atmosphere reeked of depression ruining my appetite. read more

After several poor experiences here with various owners and their staff, enough is enough. My son recently had a birthday, and he really wanted to bring these donuts into his class to share with his classmates. I hesitated, because of prior experiences that were negative, but because that's what he wanted, I agreed to it. I called several days before his birthday and placed an order for 2 1/2 dozen donuts and paid almost $45! We picked the donuts up on his birthday, and he took them to school. Unfortunately, half the order was made incorrectly, which was very disappointing to my son. The other half was just plain glazed donuts, and they were almost inedible. The glaze was falling off in big pieces, leaving nothing sweet on the donut. They were dry and tough, and most of the kids threw them out. My son was embarrassed and extremely disappointed. I was very frustrated because I spent a lot of money on a "gourmet" donut that we certainly did not get. I drove over to the bakery a few days later, and experienced somebody quite rude. She told me that I was making a scene which was completely not true, I was very frustrated and was expressing this (to which she argued about my experience and struggled to even apologize). She told me the owner would call me on the following Monday, that was a month ago, and needless to say nobody followed up. I will never use this bakery again, and encourage you to find someplace else to buy "gourmet" donuts. read more

Complete nosedive since this place got bought. Wanted a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on rye...at 11am on Saturday they're out of every bread but ciabatta? Then we get a bacon, egg and cheese instead? 3 other groups of.cuztk.er walked out in frustration while we were waiting. This is what happens when the owners leave a bunch of very young employees with no skin in the game to run the joint. read more

I came in last Sunday looking for classic donuts I would find in an average donut store. I was met with many beautiful types, but no traditional classics like a maple bar or cruller. I settled on an apple fritter and a glazed. However, the fritter had no apple and the plain was undercooked. Kind of wish I had stopped at Publix instead, but willing to go back if they change for the better read more

WEST MELBOURNE LOCATION! It's gone downhill. I've heard its under new ownership. The new employees are rude. My bagel with cream cheese tasted weird that I almost threw up. The sitting area in the back smells like a dirty bathroom. YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY NEED TO RECONSIDER WHAT YOUR GOAL IS AS A BAKERY! Make good, safe food? Or try to make people sick cause you hate this country? I can't recommend this place anymore. read more

The donuts are good, but a guy serves people without a mask, and he is very proud of it. On my last visit, I saw two couples with masks that left the store when that guy showed up from the kitchen serving without a mask. I am certainly not going back there. It Okay to have principles, but it is not Okay to serve food without a mask. read more

As much as I love their donuts. They don't wear masks to take precautions. I won't be back!

Been going here for years. Going way down hill! Worst cake ever! Last order was treated rudely by girl at counter. Trying to give me something we did not order. Owner came over and is non apologetic, got us our order. I always order the 100% sugar free cake and is usually moist and good. This cake is not sugar free and very dry. read more

Such a cute coffee shop and bakery that is fun for the kiddos also! Being new to the area, I'm excited to make this place a new regular for us. read more

Love Bugs is dangerous. Dangerous to your hunger, to your wallet and to your waistline, that is. This bakery is a MUST treat for anyone looking for: fresh bread, fresh donuts, fresh cupcakes, cookies, croissants and more. A brightly lit, clean facility with helpful and friendly staff. I've been reading some of the reviews here about their cupcakes being either too bland, not very good, or not using buttercream icing, to which I say: what are you smoking??? One of my FAVES is the cupcakes, which are huge, super moist. The icing I've had on all of them are obviously butter/butter cream frosting instead of that whipped cream/light fluff you usually get at grocery stores and other bakeries trying to cut corners. They sell sandwiches there, as well, using Boar's head meat and let me tell you, they were also tastegasmic. They seem small (shorter buns: think six inch subs), but they pack them full with SO MUCH MEAT AND TOPPINGS that they are difficult to eat but oh-so-so-so-good. The bread, I believe, is made right in store as well, so you can't get any fresher than that! One of my favorites that we took home was from their "bargain," shelf of day-olds (which amuses me, because it tasted ANYTHING but old) garlic bread with real, obvious chunks of garlic clove in it. It was so soft when I brought it home I had huge difficulties cutting it and so my husband and I just pulled it apart with our hands. We didn't. Even. Need. Butter. It was that good. For us, it's a *bit* pricey. But as the old adage goes, "you get what you pay for," and what you're paying for at Love Bugs is obvious quality. Treat yo'self today, go there, get a donut, a loaf of bread, a sandwich, a cupcake. You will not be sorry! read more

This place is amazing....really fun donuts to choose from. And they were the best donuts I ever tasted! Definitely a go to again!

Great bakery with a huge selection of donuts, bagels, croissants, huge biscuits, cupcakes, etc. The donuts we had were delicious.

Amazing food! I love their specialized donuts and cupcakes. Always a crowd-pleaser. You'll never regret going to Love Bug's!

While visiting from out of town, I always want to try some local spots. After reading the reviews, it would seem to be a crime if I didn't give into my sweet tooth and give it a try! I visited early on a Saturday morning, and like reviews has warned there was already a line! The line moved fairly quickly, I could tell there where a lot of locals/regulars in the line since they were just calling out the names of donuts like they were old friends. I, however, was a bit confused and a lost lamb. The girl that helped me kinda rushed me and didn't really explain what was what. I understand theres a line, but it would've been nice if she just added a bit more customer service and a smile or two. Maybe she was having a bad morning. Hence 4 out of 5 stars, but everyone else was very nice. The donuts were amazing! Lives up to the hype! Definitely hoping to visit again before I leave town. read more

So I'm currently in Florida for my boyfriend's birthday and wanted to get him some cupcakes for the occasion. Since I'm not a local, I didn't really know any good bakeries in the area. Luckily for me, I have Yelp, so I stumbled on to Love Bug! I got 4 of their cupcakes: Carrot, German Chocolate, White, and Red Velvet (which came out to about $8-9, and also I want to note that they don't accept card for any order under $5). My favorite was the Carrot, but that's really because I'm such a sucker for carrot cake. They were all very delicious and don't have that sickly sweet taste that cupcakes from grocery stores have. If I lived in Florida, I'd definitely be a repeat customer! read more
