Friday, June 5, 2026 (8:00pm) - It's National Donut Day! I…read moremeant to visit a donut establishment earlier in the day, then the day got away from me. I remembered Donut King is open late (until 9:00pm today), and I am glad I took a longer drive. I didn't know they were giving away a free donut today. I truly felt blessed (lol). I went in for a glazed twist donut that's combined with regular Donut dough and chocolate dough. Walking out with a free vanilla iced donut was a great way to celebrate National Donut Day. While it was obvious they were VISITED today, and the plaza isn't the cutest, the Donut quality is great, and the customer service I received today was PHENOMENAL. The gentleman with the bandana was extremely kind.

Been coming to Donut King off and on for the past 11 years I've lived in Orlando. Fancy donut…read moreplaces come and go, but Donut King is forever. Consistent in quality like a blue chip stock that you hold onto for 35 years. Ambiance is great. Storefront is in a dingy strip mall, but inside is a wall of donuts that looks like the Great Wall of China in donut form. A formidable display of deliciousness that will make your day better from the very start. Service is equally as formidable. There are always a ton of people in line, but they serve their way through them very quickly and efficiently. Very nice folks, and they always seem to have everything in stock. The donuts themselves are the best part. Soft, airy, topped with the perfect amount of toppings, filled with the perfect amount of fillings, and there are a few truly unique offerings that are very intriguing. You just can't go wrong. Overall, other gourmet offerings are out there, and they're pretty good, too, but Donut King is my original, and quite frankly, if I'm driving out to the coast for a long day of birding, I would pick the King over any of those other places anyway,

I stumbled upon it when I was shopping for some groceries and decided to give it a try. I've tried their Jianbing, Chicken roll and beef roll. Each one was amazing. The owners here are incredibly sweet and the wife explain the menu to us and explained how each item can be found as a picture on the wall. It is a little location tucked away in the corner of the supermarket by the freezers. You can actually watch the food getting made right in front of you. I loved it so much I've been back three times since. The Jianbing is a savory crepe with a fried wonton inside so it has the perfect crisp. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking this place out. Make sure to support local!

The jianbing is delicious and tasty as well as my favorite the beef wrap. I always get mine spicy and they give you a nice spicy sauce if you can handle it.

The food is quickly made to order as you watch the jianbing. If you're in the area and looking for a nice tasty bite of food don't hesitate to enjoy this little place, you won't be disappointed.

The texture--along with that perfect touch of sweetness--in their *pan dulce* (specifically the *piñita*) is truly unique; it brings back memories of the *pan salao* or *pan dulce* from Maracaibo.

The inside is very clean and cute coffee shop themed decor on the walls. Its quiet and peaceful, perfect place for some mid day quiet time.

When I walked in, there was something playing the guitar and the atmosphere felt lively It is a large space with plenty of seating, even some couches for a more relaxed setting. Here, you order at the counter and then they bring the food to you. If there's a line just turn around and head over to the self-order kiosk. People were lining up in the line and missed the kiosks. Just remember to input the number you selected next to your name when you type the order.

Very good use of bagel types and schmears. So good! And those home fries. Unless anything I've ever had before. Very indulgent. Cons: Not a single con. A really perfect little breakfast. Tips: Get the home fries. Get a bagel sandwich. If you get the big French toast, prepare to drown it in syrup. And don't get the knish unless you have someone to share it with.

Like, bim bam, here's your coffee, what else do you need, ok have a nice day. I loved it. Feels like what I imagine NYC feels like? Service was impeccable. Very nice people, and very timely wait times. Everything came out quickly and piping hot fresh and piping hot delicious. The food itself was out of this world. I started off with the Hot to Trot Breakfast Sandwich (2 Egg Omelet on our Jalapeno Cheddar bagel topped with Jalapeño Cheddar Cream Cheese, Jalapeño Slices & Thick Applewood Bacon, finished with Hot Honey Drizzle), just look at the picture, it was so sick, 11/10 in deliciousness. I still dream about it. I will say, they forgot the bacon... But even without it, it was perfect. Just, be wary of that. I got it with a side of these Home Fries, which, as you can see, has the potatoes crisped to perfection, and is slathered in cheese and giant chunks of bacon. These were really indulgent, and if you order this, plan on sharing. We also had an order of the Challah French Toast (Toped with cinnamon sugar and powder sugar). This thing was thiccc, sweet, and delicious. It is very thicc, so plan on a lot of syrup dipping. But it's good, if you love French toast and have a sweet tooth, get this. Last thing we tried was a Large potato Knish (Thin layer of dough stuffed with seasoned mashed potatoes baked to perfection and server with Düsseldorf mustard). This was good. Well-cooked dough, not made too soggy from the mash, and the mustard cut through all the decadence in a nice way. Overall, this was an exquisite visit. This place needs to be winning best breakfasts and brunches, instead of national chains. I like to keep it local when I can, and I will be coming back here.

We however were able to find a parking spot on a Thursday early evening. Was surprised to see that this place has table service; I think when we went a couple years ago it was ordering at the counter but I understand as they now have a well-earned Michelin designation. We ordered the Smoked Belly Banh Mi, pit sampler (brisket, pulled pork, pork belly), and a side of brussel sprouts and fries. All the meats were tender and flavorful, I enjoyed the pork belly the most while my husband enjoyed the brisket. We will definitely come back during their special Friday BBQ Ramen nights to try their ramen and also their brunch on weekends
