    Strawberry Shortcake & my fav OG
    Vanessa G.

    One of my favorite gourmet donut places I enjoy eating. Always something new coming out and I love that not every delicious looking donut is filled just full of delicious toppings. The Malasada donut is only made on Wednesday and Saturday's. It's a hawaiian dough that can be ate alone or with your desired topping. I would definitely buy it the next time and add nutella and strawberries on top @ home. Clean store, clean, minimal space. Great service. My coffee is the bomb!!

    Cute donut shop in the SoDo area located on Orange and Michigan. I am all about gourmet desserts and this place has some delicious donuts! There is always a friendly attendant waiting to greet you and help answer any questions you may have. I stopped in and grabbed four massive donuts for the family; salted caramel with corn flakes, chocolate brownie, birthday cake and blueberry cheesecake. These are large donuts that are baked fresh every morning. The inside of the donut is so light and fluffy. The outside is decorated elaborately and very flavorful. Personal favorite is the birthday cake, but the blueberry cheesecake is not far behind! Definitely worth stopping by and seeing which flavors tempt you!

    Some of the best donuts my family and I have had. Super fresh and tasty. Every donut we tried we all loved (the guava, coffee cake, and chocolate brownie). Prices are very fair and donuts are huge! Glad we found this spot we will be back. They also have coffee and ice cream that looked delicious, we will be dipping into that soon. Thanks!

    Stopped by today for their special Harry Potter bday donuts and wasn't disappointed. They had a great selection of their usual options along with some wonderfully decorated Harry Potter themed donuts. We tried 4 of them, with my favorite being the coffee cake donuts. The donuts were perfectly soft and flakey, and I loved that they weren't overly sweet like the options at a lot of other donut shops. The interior was nice, with a modern/minimal feel and plenty of seating, and the staff was friendly and helpful with making decisions on which flavors to go with. Looking forward to coming back to try some of their other donuts soon!

    Definitely going back here! They have a range of classic and creative donuts, and they sell quick! As other reviews mentioned, they seem to close early if they sell out. All the donuts I tried were very good, soft and fluffy, not too sweet and a perfect amount of filling. Pricing varies based on specialities, but is fair and worth it! The environment was very clean, and with easy parking in front. My favorite was the french toast. I hope to one day try the malasadas (only available on SELECT Wednesday and Sundays). We were told that it's best to call ahead of time to see if they are making malasadas that week. One of the best donuts in Orlando!

    Decided to support a local business one morning and stumbled upon Shaka Donuts. I ordered a ton of donuts for a work meeting and everyone LOVED them. The flavors were so unique and delicious. Its a good size shop with a tea shop next door. They had the donuts on the display so you could see what you were order. You could also dine-in if you wanted to. They had small tables in the shop to do so with a cool live of surfers on the tv! Service was great for being a large order so early in the morning. I did order a latte with flavor and oat milk but i thought it was way too sweet. They also sold breakfast items and bagels! Overall the donut experience was great.

    We tried Shaka Donuts for the first time earlier this week and we were so excited to taste these beautiful donuts. We ordered a half dozen to take home. We tried a croissant donut, guava donut, brown sugar/pecan, peanut butter and jelly, apple fritter/ pineapple, and a Samoa donut. We enjoyed the toppings on all of them. The donuts themselves weren't bad, but they were pretty bland. The restaurant itself was really nice and so was the staff member we interacted with. It was fun watching the families come in and seeing the excitement in their faces to see these beautiful donuts. For our taste, we don't need to return, but I'm sure that many others may really enjoy Shaka.

    Stopped in quickly for May 4 for Star Wars donuts! My boyfriend absolutely loved them. These donuts are so yummy he mentioned! The Wookiee donut was bacon and peanut butter. The earth Vader one was a chocolate donut!! Definitely returning soon.

    Impromptu visit here for the first time & glad I stopped by! There was only one employee to help us, and there were a few ppl inside so it took a bit of time to get helped.. but the young lady was very nice. Moriah is her name I believe. The donut flavors offered all sounded a bit average, nothing peaked my interest too much, but the donuts looked good. Most of the donuts tasted really yummy. Texture light and fluffy and not too sweet which I loved! Least favorite was Nutella... favorites were dulce de leche and strawberry shortcake :)

    OK Orlando. Let's see what you have to offer in the donut game. Do you know it's not easy to impress me since I am a self certified doughnut, connoisseur, sommelier, aficionado. This is a cute little donut shop on the corner that is also combined with an ice cream shop. I didn't sample the ice cream. Most of the donuts were essentially the same donut with different toppings. They had some interesting varieties. I decided to go with a fritter, an original glazed, And your Parulian fry donut without the cream filling. The fruit it was my favorite. It had a nice hint of both coconut and pineapple. It was kind of more like a piña colada doughnut. The flavors weren't overwhelming and it wasn't too sweet. The OG donut was nice light and fluffy. A very good basic doughnut. The fried Peruvian donut was very dense with a decent amount of sugar topping. It was more like a round churro. Overall, this is definitely worth a stop and you'll enjoy one of the other varieties.

    I had been meaning to stop by and try not only the doughnuts but their malasadas and got lucky! The shop is nice, clean, modern and it has a section where they serve ice cream. The doughnuts are shown right as you walk in. The staff could had been more attentive and answer my questions, as it seemed I was being an annoyance. As for the doughnuts, those are airy, fluffy, fresh, tasty and do not leave a greasy aftertaste. We got the brownie doughnut which was tasty and not overly sweet (which I like) and 2 malasadas. One was filled with chocolate and the other with coconut, both very tasty. Wished they had more filing as they barely were poked and filled, only got a bite of it on a side. I will be back if I am in the area and wish the staff would be more engaging.

    Cronut & Strawberry Shortcake donuts
    Clarice L.

    I really wanted to like it. We googled and came for Dole whip which was on the menu but they no longer serve it. The woman was really nice with customer service which is why I gave 2 stars. I had to swap my shave ice because the pineapple syrup tasted spoiled. I ordered the Cronut & the Strawberry Shortcake donut. The Cronut was old and dried out. The strawberry shortcake donut was old and the strawberries had started to go bad. Unfortunately they really need to make sure their food is fresh and label their items with dates. It could make someone sick.

    Cute location
    A'kiesha D.

    Service was not very friendly, but the donuts' selection and location were cute. I would not come back because of the sevice...other donut shops are more welcoming.

I'll definitely be back to try some of their drinks next time.

It's a clean, minimalist space that is well lit with natural lighting and seems to be a chill place to sit and do work. When I came around 1-2 PM, they seemed to still have a good number of their donuts still in stock. (Their sign on the door notes they are open per their hours, unless they sell out of everything sooner.) My dad ordered a coffee to go and I ordered a matcha latte without sweetener and almond milk, plus a honey and sea salt cragel to go. Service was quick. Matcha latte was good. I liked the cragel - it had a good texture and wasn't too sweet. My dad wasn't super fond of his coffee, but it was okay. (He said it wasn't the worst, but it wasn't the best coffee he's ever had.) If there isn't an event going on, they have their own parking lot. Otherwise, you are allowed to park in the school lot if school is not in session. (Or street parking if you can find some.)

    5 Star update for one of my new favorite brunch spots! (Get the brisket-stacked pancakes ASAP)…read more I love S&D for lunch, but recently got to try out their brunch on a Saturday morning with some girlfriends and it was FABULOUS. First off, note that they have added a vinyl DJ area (so fun!) and now offer table service (perfect for ordering more brunch cocktails!). My favorite brunch dishes I got to try were the brisket-stacked pancakes and the brisket egg & cheese sandwich. The pancakes are made with donut batter and have a hint of citrus. I was offered regular maple syrup or a bourbon version and obviously went with the latter. The brisket was perfection and made this dish the best representation of salty-sweet decadence. I can't imagine ordering anything else for brunch now that I've tried this... And yet, I got to try my friend's brisket egg & cheese sandwich and holy cow the caramelized onions took it to another level. if you're looking for something featuring eggs for breakfast- this is a must. In terms of drinks, I liked their peach spritz. It wasn't too sweet and it was a hearty pour! And even better- they made me a great cortado, so don't forget to get a well-made espresso drink while you're there. Previous lunch review: 5 Stars because I am OBSESSED with this family-owned barbeque spot (their food, staff, bar program, etc!)! My sisters had been raving about Smoke & Donuts for a while now because it's super family-friendly and they go with their group of friends (and their kids) often. They talked up the food, of course, but it is the staff that really sells them. It's family-owned and everyone there is an absolute joy whenever I've been. They offer everyone free little donut holes with their orders and they remember you like you're part of the family. I've enjoyed the brisket (WOW) and the pulled chicken- Both are standouts! Something else on the menu that totally surprised me and stayed on my mind was the mac & cheese side. It's so unusual, but I am a big fan! It's got a rich flavor and then an almost sweet aftertaste. Trust me- somehow it works and you'll want more! And for the vegetarians- they have pulled jackfruit available to satisfy their barbeque cravings. Love the inclusivity with that option. In terms of donuts, my fave is The Lou, featuring a maple-bourbon glaze, heath, Hershey's chips, and brisket burnt ends. That salty, sweet combo is unbeatable!

Plus, you can order house baked donuts and even build your own with toppings of your choice. It's very casual, and they have a pretty stocked bar and serve espresso drinks. After we ordered at the counter, took our number and sat down, we were given a pork rind to nosh while we sat. Now, I don't care for them, but other diners seem to enjoy and it was a nice and amuse-bouche ;) I'm a sucker for brunch so I ordered the Smoked Turkey Breast, egg and cheese sandwich with runny yolk. It was PHENOMENAL! For only $12 (in today's inflated economy) I was presented with a soft, large potato bun housing tender, perfectly seasoned turkey carved - not deli-style and sliced - thick and juicy steak-cut style. Melted on top was a thick Gouda cheese slice, a perfectly cooked "runny" egg topped with fresh cranberry sauce. I can't say enough about my meal, the presentation and service! They are very intentional to let you know you do NOT bus your own table, they take care of everything even though you order at a counter. The after meal treat of a glazed donut was not only tasty and fresh, but a nice and unique touch and ending to a fantastic lunch. They just started a rewards program for birthdays and texts for specials. I will definitely be going back!
