Been eating those donuts for over 50+ years Still here same donuts same house for 75 years in September Mmm Tony is the best !! read more

I have no doubt that this place was really great in the past. In today's day, especially after Covid I don't think they're prepared enough. I stopped by around 11am and quickly realized they had absolutely nothing out. They really close at 11 and just sell leftovers till 12. They had a few donuts so I got some to try but not much to pick from at all. When I asked about lunch sandwiches that I heard people raving about, they told me after Covid they never reopened that part of the deli. So they said they could still make a breakfast sandwich. I passed on the offer but my boyfriend got a Taylor ham egg and cheese on a bagel. It was really sad to look at, not a good sandwich overall. Would've been better off at WaWa. The donuts were decent but I definitely have had better on the island. I can appreciate how fresh they are but that's about it. Overall the staff was nice and the donuts were fresh but with hours so limited and no sandwiches available, I probably won't be back. read more

From Taylor Ham breakfast sandwiches to amazing homemade donuts especially the cinnamon brown sugar, It's a must visit.

The doughnuts are delicious but the breakfast sandwiches are not good all. Small spot with friendly staff. Very hot inside the store.

Best doughnuts. Fresh & Hot. The old school way. Love bringing the kids to climb up the steps and watch them being made. read more

First time at this place .Was recommended by my niece to try there Jalapeño cheddar bagels and cinnamon donuts.I bought both of them and was surprised how excellent tasting they both were.Will definitely visit when I'm LBI next time. read more

Amazing, freshly-made cinnamon sugar donut and coffee crumb cake. The texture is perfect and the flavor is not just sugar. Their breakfast sandwich is not greasy at all. They also sell fresh baked rolls. A definite must-go when you're on the island! Adjusted summer hours and menu. No cash accepted. Card only. read more

Been going here for 30 years and it NEVER dissapoints. Melt in your mouth delicious fresh donuts made the old fashion way! Watching them get made is as memorable as the donuts themselves! If you don't finish all of them then no worries- they are still delicious the next day! read more

Sticky buns were right out of the oven! Delicious as was the crumb cake and doughnuts.

Fantastic donuts made right in from of your eyes! Smallish, cinnamon sugar donuts go down so easily. The smell from street draws you in, the heat of the fryer competes with the quickening pulse you get from all your senses telling you you're in the right place. The girl behind the counter fills a bag or two as you imagine the softness, the taste and your sugary fingers. And it's all good. Get some crumb cake to distract the hungry people back at the house so you can eat more donuts. read more

Marvel's Bakery - Half a block west of the boulevard near Wawa and the Terrace Tavern. - Bakeries Near Me - Beach Haven, New Jersey

This place is a must visit during your time in LBI. If you like hot delicious cinnamon sugar, plain, and powdered sugar donuts every morning Marvels is a place for you! They have amazing crum cake, cinnamon rolls, muffins, scones, cookies, frosted donuts, and so much more! They also have a deli area with amazing bacon egg and cheese and other sandwiches and bagels! The service is amazing with some of the nicest people you will ever meet! It's a marvelous experience at marvels! read more

As I've come to learn, you come to Marvel's for one reason: donuts. Okay, a secondary reason might be watching donuts be made as you wait in line salivating over that cinnamon sugar coating. A trip to LBI isn't complete without a morning stop at Marvel's. Personally, I'm all about that cinnamon sugar donut or one of the specialty donuts (I'm partial to jelly). The line is typically out the door on a weekend afternoon for good reason. Their donuts are damn delicious! It's that simple. read more

I can only vouch for the donuts... They are fantastic! Freshly cooked right in front of you and delicious. A full bag never makes it back to the house... I love the jelly! We actually did a taste test this morning between Marvel's and another place nearby (cough... Side Door) and Marvel's is better. Period stop. Better tasting, fresher tasting and at a better price. Do yourself a favor and stop by. read more

Our house is near marvels, and I remember when I was young going to the marvels market for donuts.... Yum... Well they burned down and now it's a deli across the street with, you guessed it, Donuts... Now these ar the real deal old school donuts that you get hot and fresh right out of the fryer.... This is a staple and an LBI institution. read more

A haiku review: Freshly baked donuts Cinnamon and sugar, mmm Could eat a dozen read more

Best donuts in LBI. Freshly made in front of you the donuts are airy and light. Bought a dozen donuts in back to back days and we finished them all in one sitting. Highly recommend the apple cinammon ones and the crumb cake donuts! read more

Our family's go to bakery while in town. It's truly amazing... very very friendly with kids and pets... has THE best donuts I've had in my life I crave this sh*t sooo often it's ridiculous. Highly highly recommend coffe/crumb cake, bagels, and donuts. read more

As a little girl long ago, Sunday mornings meant Sunday School followed by a trip to Marvel's for donuts. I would patiently wait in line watching the machine and marveling at the process as the dough was dropped in, it then floated around the machine, was flipped over and ended up a perfect donut!! When I would finally get my six, three powdered, three sugared (never ever was allowed to buy a dozen for the three of us) I savored every delectable bite. Well, Marvel's Market and Sweet Shop are gone, along with the Nor'easter, the Dairy Queen, Freddies Bar, Coleman's, and M & M Seafood. But, thanks to Tony and his love of LBI, those wonderful donuts are still there for me to watch being made and to still savor every, wonderful bite. Only now... I buy a dozen every time!!! THANK YOU, TONY. read more

I really wanted to love this place after all of the hype but it was average at best. I got an iced coffee (was good but average) My boyfriend and I shared the walnut sticky bun and the Cinnamon roll. The sticky bun was kind of stale and I wish the walnuts were toasted or something- it was more on the bland side. The cinnamon roll (also on the stake side) was better after we warmed them both up.The place was a cool atmosphere getting to see the donuts made but we almost felt rushed and not so welcomed not a good feeling, especially when it was our first time there. We will try again because maybe it was an off day but so far not super impressed. read more

Been getting thier donuts for as long as I have been coming to LBI. Expensive but worth it! Get there early & take them hot, there's none better. I don't think I've ever gotten anything besides donuts so my review is based on the donuts only. read more

Tried the donuts on the last morning of our latest trip to the island. Made fresh right in front of you! Simple tried and true varieties, iced, glazed, cinnamon sugar, and powdered, jelly. All the kinds you really need for donuts as scrumptious as these. Nice and light, not oily or heavy. Definitely will visit again. read more

Tiny place in LBI. I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and my boyfriend got a sticky bun. Everything was quite good but nothing special. However, I did not try the donuts which are made fresh right in front of you. So I feel like I would have to go back and try one of them. read more

I went into Marvel's Bakery last week and bought some donuts for children who were visiting us. After the salesgirl bagged the donuts, I realized that it was a cash only business and only had a ten dollar bill and a credit card. I asked her to take out whatever donuts she could to make the bill $10. Tony, the owner, stepped up and told me to take the donuts and to bring the balance when I could. Not only was Tony so accommodating, the donuts were delicious!! Warm, just enough sugar- absolutely delightful!! Kudos to Tony for maintaining the friendly, trusting environment of our little island. I will certainly be back! read more

Is it possible to give this place 100 stars?? My family has been going here for 40 years, sadly I have only been able to enjoy these donuts for 25 years. Regardless, my only tip is wear a shirt and shoes and get there as early as possible. These donuts should be made illegal. They are made to order; hot, cinnamon goodness. DO NOT PASS THIS BAKERY. read more

Marvel Bakery is a long time tradition in my family. My grandfather used to say the plain donuts reminded him of the donuts he sold as a child on the streets in Philly during the depression. My annual trip to LBI is not complete till I have one in memory of him. They also have powdered and cinnamon sugar as well as other baked goods. read more

Terrible service. The two ladies working were not friendly, and to be honest, just flat out rude. Upon arriving, my friend asked "is this heaven" bc of the sweet treats and smells, and the lady that helped us replied "not really." We continued receiving snarky comments. The food is good, but not worth the terrible service. Especially with so many amazing restaurants around read more

The fresh cinnamon sugar donuts are a favorite and the kids enjoy watching the donut machine make them fresh while you wait.

The doughnuts here are simply out of this world. Their cinnamon sugar and powdered doughnuts are the reason why I usually gain a pound or so every time I come to LBI for vacation. Awesome awesome awesome. read more

Best donuts and an LBI tradition. So fun to watch them being made, especially for kids. Only complaint is it gets REAL smoky in the present location; a better ventilation fan would help. Tony is a master of the deli as well! read more

We love their donuts, their deli meat sliced to order, breads, and coffee.. And their service!!!

Fresh donuts you can watch them make, some serious sticky buns, bagels and good strong coffee!

If you are going there for doughnuts, then go for it. Their homemade doughnuts are awesome. Little selection though. However, if going there for a sandwich, might want to go elsewhere. They are average at best. VERY skimpy on the meat. Nothing but bread. Service was so so. Two ladies didn't seem to have it together. Kept in saying my order back and forth to each other. read more

Head on in to watch them make homemade donuts! It's an LBI tradition to stop in here. Gotta grab the powdered or cinnamon sugar donut for sure! Friendly staff and amazing atmosphere! read more

Awesome doughnuts,great sandwiches,great service. Get there early for doughnuts the line is out the door.

This place is a hidden gem! I've been vacationing in Beach Haven since birth and this is the first time that we've stopped at Marvel's, thanks to a tip from a friend! The donuts are made fresh as you stand there, and although there were already some in the case, you can request them hot off the machine! Yum!!! If you have ever been to the famous Brown's in Ocean City, NJ, (which we highly recommend) the donuts are very similar. My family also tried the crumb buns, delicious, and the sticky bun with walnuts, also very good. We will definitely be coming back here every year! read more

After reading all the good reviews I had to try this place. Biggest letdown ever. The service was terrible, with grumpy people working there. They had very limited variety of donuts or any baked goods. I decided to at least try one of the powdered donuts. I have had better massed produced donuts. So many other better donut shops and bakeries around. I definitely will not be back. read more

Fresh, warm cinnamon sugar donuts are only way to go at Marvels! They have a wonderful texture, taste and just melt in your mouth. I cannot comment on anything else at Marvel's as in 40+ years, I have never tried anything else as why skip perfection - even once! read more

Absolutely delicious! I remember being a little kid and my grandpa would always bring home Marvel's donuts for me and my cousins and we would devour them all within seconds. I still go here to this day and it hasn't changed one bit! Awesome place for the kids, so they can see the donuts being made. read more

Excellent fresh-fries doughnuts when I went there! Cinnamon buns were good, if not the style I prefer. Tip: This place is cash only.
