Give your tastebuds a reason to be thankful this year. The donuts are dreamy. Delicate and perfectly puffed. The flavor is homey and perfect and the icing is the sweet that makes the treat. If I lived closer, these donuts would be my solace for having to wake up and go to work.

So delicious! Love the atmosphere, their selection, very family style atmosphere, super helpful employees. Loved it!

Always such a delight to visit this Jacksonville staple! We usually go on weekend mornings. Biggest tip there is to make sure you get there before 9:30am or the options will be a little more limited - they sell out quick! They do offer the option of calling the day before to place an order for pick up, and if you have a special occasion, or very specific donuts they you want, then this is the way to go. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Our favorites these days are the chocolate glazed, the blueberry and the cinnamon sugar. The truth is: whatever you choose will be fresh & delicious! Always a delight to visit The Donut Shoppe!

The Donut Shoppe delivers fresh, donuts every time with fast, friendly service. Cash only, but consistently great donuts make this a reliable local go-to.

Yes...The Donuts Shoppe is still putting out some the great donuts. With all the donut shops coming and going. The Donut Shoppe reigns supreme. Yeah times have changed and prices are have gone up. They still put out a great product. And the other customers know it. I went on a Sunday at 9:30 am and the case was almost empty. But they still had a few flavors to choose from. If they are available you must try their Uglies, which are Apple Fritter donuts. DELICIOUS!

My supervisor brought in these donuts for our team so I can't say anything about the location or customer service, but dang these donuts are good!! Amazing flavor, perfect amount of ice cream. Definitely comparable to Krispy Kreme (but better in my opinion!) If you think homemade with love Krispy Kreme, this is it!

The Donut Shoppe is a great choice for old school donuts. The ambiance is pretty straightforward, but it is a donut shop (hence the business name of the Donut Shoppe) and most people are more concerned about the donuts than sitting in some upscale place. The staff was friendly enough and the donuts were a definite good choice for a sugary breakfast or snack. All in all, the Donut Shoppe is a great choice and I would definitely recommend this particular establishment.

Old school donuts the way they should be! Cash only! Friendly service and amazing donuts! True Jacksonville staple

Apple Fritters - did I say Apple Fritters???? Well, they call them uglies. But that's okay - They are delightful, plump, fruit filled deliciousness. I can't honestly say what anything else tastes like here as I'm addicted to the uglies, but the donuts I took home for others to share were gobbled up immediately, so there's that!

I've been coming here for over 20 years and it's still a favorite. The flavors and the recipes through the years have stayed consistent. Had an ugly (apple fritter) today--and it remains #1 on my list. The dough was moist and soft, and all the bits of crunchy ends are so heavenly. Bought a dozen for the family and they devoured it. Service is quick and the donuts fly off the shelves. We will continue to be life long customers. Don't forget your cash! They don't accept cards.

READ THIS REVIEW------ Absolutely the best glazed donuts in town. Very light compared to any place else. Good layer of icing with a very slight hint of orange - it really worked! I also tried the blueberry and strawberry cake donuts. They were 50% lighter than anything I've had before. Flavors were perfect and really nice. They sell out fast - go early. I missed the apple fritters, but the photos look great. I'm going back for that for sure!!! Note: cash only! There is an ATM, but it's used a lot. Bring cash.

She told me about their popular Kolache's, so I ordered the steak one. I also got a pineapple doughnut and ice coffee. Prices were fair, coffee and pineapple doughnut were great but I am writing this review and giving 5 stars for the Kolache. If we lived nearby I might be here on the daily. It was THAT GOOD. My point? Get off this app and go to Bunny's now!

We both liked the Nutella croissant donut the best of the three things we tried. It's hard to go…read morewrong with Nutella and powdered sugar! The Strawberry Crumble donut was the only donut we tried, and it was pretty good, but I'd guess I slightly prefer the (excellent) Krispy Kremes. Our beef (hot dog) kolache was nice, but I don't think it was a great example of type. I've never tried a kolache before, but I can say the hot dog croissant I had at Cruffin & Tea a while back was much better, including the quality of the hot dog. Apple fritters are a favorite, but theirs was enormous, so we couldn't try many things here if we got that, so we saved it for a future visit. The owner also said the cinnamon roll were good, and that's another favorite to try on a future visit. They also had lumpia on this Saturday, but were out of empanadas by the time we got there after noon. Prices were reasonable: $10.81 with tax for the three items. I'd like to try this place again.

They've got great donuts and the staff is very friendly…read more I was happy to also realize you could preorder and pay online as well! The donuts are freshly made to order and boy do they have a lot of options! It's one style of base with different toppings but it's a really solid donut. I tried the donut sandwich on my last visit and really enjoyed it as well! The only thing I probably wouldn't get again is the dipper cup as the donut holes end up more dense than their regular donuts.

I initially heard of Duck Donuts a few months ago while browsing a Jacksonville Facebook group, and…read moreimmediately bookmarked them when I saw how close they are to my son's house. My first visit was a week or so after my grandson was born, and my son & I popped over to get a dozen of the Halloween seasonal doughnuts. I loved seeing that all of the doughnuts are literally made to order, WHEN ordered! The decorations & toppings are also fun & tasty. Since then (mid October), I've enjoyed sampling from at least 3 dozen doughnuts with no regrets. In fact, on our last visit, we stopped at Duck's Donuts FIRST to pick up a fresh dozen for the weekend. And by "weekend", I really just mean Saturday night & Sunday morning. These doughnuts are so good that I wasn't surprised that only 2 were left when we headed home the next day. Although they are BEST warm & fresh, these doughnuts are also delicious the next day. And I've really enjoyed the seasonal variety dozens. My son has mentioned that he & my DIL pick up doughnuts here regularly, even without me in town. In fact, Duck's Donuts wasn't even new to them when I suggested going the first time! [#40 of 2025]

This place is AMAZING!!!!! Delicious coffee AND donuts. The service is fantastic and cute inside…read moredecor. They have cool flavored salts for sale (I purchased the Vampire Killer) and other interesting items. I ordered the iced Doughfee coffee and it's NO JOKE! Has 4 shots of espresso, condensed milk, and lots of love. The donuts have a airy soft texture to it and not super sweet. Every flavor I tried (vanilla frosting, boston cream, cinnamon) was delicious.

I've been a regular here for a while now since my last update! Their donuts are still just as fresh…read moreand they still have incredible and unique flavors! Their donuts are brioche style and so so so fluffy! My favorite donut here is the creme brulee! It's filled with that delicious cream and the caramelized sugar on top makes it crazy good! The owner is super nice, kind, and friendly! He always goes above and beyond to make sure we get top notch service and high quality donuts! The shop is also super clean and kid friendly! Plenty of seating and also an area for kids to play. They occasionally do seasonal flavors like ube, pandan, coconut, sesame, etc. I've also tried their coffees and lattes and they're all delicious, no complaints! But their savory doughninis though! Oh my gosh! The sandwiches are exquisite! My favorite is the fire pesto (turkey, cheese, egg, pesto, and chili oil on top). I cannot tell you how good this sandwich is! Every bite, I always savor, because it's one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Their fries are also fire! Perfectly fried, crispy and golden, with some special seasoning on top! Prices are really reasonable for what you get and the quality cannot be matched! That's why I'm a regular! They do sell out sometimes so make sure you come early or call ahead! Definitely check out this donut shop, you won't be disappointed!

Parlor is my favorite local doughnut shop, with multiple locations in the Jax metro…read more They offer doughnuts, breakfast sandwiches, coffees and their recently launched savory doughnuts. They also offer doggy doughnuts for your fur friends. Their doughnuts are excellent, but taste is more like fried dough from the carnival. I love them but some people may prefer more cake-like doughnuts (dunkin style). The new savory doughnuts are also pretty tasty - I tried the Hawaiian BBQ chicken recently. I don't love ordering coffee drinks at Parlor. Often if you get something with Espresso, it get's stuck in a long queue because they only have one barista and espresso machine. Their drinks are also just average - nothing special. Most of the staff at Parlor are young and still learning, but friendly enough. If you dine in at the Fruit Cove location, be aware that seating can be limited inside. They do have additional seats outside when weather is nice.

I somehow missed reviewing this place so let's set that right! I grew up with Ma and Pop donut…read moreshops being the norm, so really don't love the big chain places that don't even bake them locally anymore. We've been going to Parlor occasionally since they opened and they have a good product. It's not traditional like the maple bars or apple fritters I grew up eating, but they are fresh, and when cooked the right way are really pleasing - kind of light (relatively speaking, I mean, it IS a donut). Minus one star because sometimes they aren't cooked as well and can be a bit doughy in the middle. Those days I eat the edges which are still good. The minis are a great way to avoid this, also - and I especially like the coconut ones. Boston cream, maple, cinnamon churro, all the flavors are great and I love the less common ones too - haven't tried many but lavender honey is so good. Great coffee and service, too - check this place out!
