I had my own toppers and I didn't take a picture prior to me adding the toppers onto the cake. Nonetheless, the cake was just as amazing as it was last year!

The environment is great. Service is great. Coffee is good…read more Sometimes the baked goods are hit and miss. I had an overcooked quiche and the Spanish frittata was a tad overcooked and the egg mixture was unseasoned/bland. It's a great outdoor area though if you want to sit with your family and enjoy a coffee or muffin/scone.

We ordered a sticky bun, blueberry croissant along with lunch sandwiches on a Sunday late morning…read more We also bought a cookie to go. It was all SOOO VERY GOOD. We commented several times to ourselves we wanted to go back to try more, but they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. We understand everyone needs a day off but had they been open or our trip was longer we would have gone back for more, probably a few more times. The owner was very friendly and talked with us a bit too. Great place for food and bakery. If in Destin ever again I am stopping in. Highly Recommend.

Lately, I haven't been that big on sweets. It has to be really special for me to be willing to use…read moreup my calories. But my husband had been here before and insisted I try something and OMG... EXCELLENT doesn't even begin to cover it. We had the Sticky Bun Croissant (topped with buttercream icing and a caramel-y, slightly hardened bottom) and--HELP JESUS. That thing is PHENOMENAL. Like... immediate silence once we started eating. We also grabbed a slice of the 15-layer chocolate cake (layers of cake, chocolate ganache, and chocolate mousse) and it was straight-up fantastic. Even the bottled drinks were great--I had a sparkling pink grapefruit drink that was really good. My husband previously had the carrot cake bread pudding and still talks about it like it changed his life. Everything... and I mean EVERYTHING we tasted was nothing short of amazing. We literally went back 20 minutes later to grab something to bring to my mother-in-love who lives in another state. That's how serious it was. They also have a few celebratory alcoholic beverages if you're grabbing items for a party, event, or special occasion. And they make beautiful baked goods for events too, so definitely check them out if you've got something coming up. Lady Ray's also offers tea parties! You do need to book in advance, but the setup was so intimate, elegant, and cute. I didn't take a photo of the party while it was happening, but I was genuinely impressed. Such a fun idea for a girlfriends' outing. And Lady Ray herself? Absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. Her friendly demeanor, great sense of humor, and service-oriented heart make you want to come back again and again. If you're anywhere near Lady Ray's, I highly recommend stopping by. Your taste buds will thank you.

We happened on this shop by chance while on vacation. My daughter is a huge fan of chicken pesto…read moresandwiches so I ordered one for her. She shared half of it with me and let me say 10 out of 10! It was absolutely delicious! There were cakes in the display box that were absolutely beautiful. I am sure they were delicious. We also looked at the beautiful macarons and luckily, found a discounted box of macarons and splurged. There was had an assortment of about 10 or 15 macarons in the box. The flavors were fabulous! I am honestly not a huge macaron fan, or I should say...I wasn't until I tasted these! They were so rich and flavorful! I wish we would have had time to go back for more as I am sure everything here is delicious but for now, we will just have to dream of the Macaron Chef until we can return to Destin again! Highly recommend a lunchtime visit to this delectable shop!

This place was so good we went back multiple times during our trip to 30A. We initially came here…read morefor their sourdough loaf and it was great! They run out quick in the day so get there early. They also have specialty breads that are like a "flavor of the day" so you never know what you might find here. They also have tons of pastries and their coffee is good too. The second time we came we dined in, with their additional space across the courtyard and outdoor seating in the courtyard (this side has couches and tables), you never have to worry about finding a place to sit. Also, a lot of people get their orders to go. I got the ham and cheese baguette and it was great! The water is self serve and the staff is friendly. We'll be back!

BLUF: Excellent breakfast all day and delicious, fresh donuts in a diner-like atmosphere…read more My party of three arrived at The Donut Hole to a long-ish line down the ramp and I was wondering if it's worth it. It is! The Donut Hole most certainly has diner vibes and I suspect the booths are original to its 1978 origins - both of which made for a nostalgic experience. Although named for the sweet, fried confections, The Donut Hole has a huge menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. My table all ordered breakfast even though it was lunch time. The breakfast was awesome - omelettes, pancakes, poached eggs, cheese grits, coffee and the most delicious rye bread. I had the sausage and cheese omelet and there was something about it that made it better than other omelettes I've had. Also, I loved the rye bread - it was sliced thicker than what I am used to and it was very pillowy. I enjoyed it dry but it was also good with a little butter. We waited about 20 or so minutes for a table, but once seated we enjoyed prompt, attentive, excellent service. And's let's not forget to talk about the fresh made donuts! Oh my, there were a lot of flavors to choose from and none of them disappointed. Initially I went with a chocolate frosted and Bavarian cream filled donut. But then a fresh tray of key line donuts came out and I had to get one of those too. My sister ordered a few and we took them back to our rental, cut them in quarters and had a donut tasting party. Delicious! I am looking forward to my return trip to The Donut Hole. A visit to Santa Rosa Beach would not be complete without a stop at The Donut Hole.

Holy tortugas! This place rocks and no wonder it is packed, the word is out…read moreVery smart scheme, they don't need any advertising because it is by word of mouth, our next door neighbor from Pensacola told us about the donuts and other items in the menu I ordered an omelette with mushrooms and cheese and it was like they would have told me to go in the kitchen and make it myself disregarding how big my stomach and my appetite would be, very generous that not even the picture makes justice to how well and generous was. Do you think I left any in my plate? no sir! Wife ordered two fried eggs that come with hash browns and biscuit and she barely finished too. Kathy was our server with a smile from ear to ear that made our day, very patient and took our order quickly and accurately. Considering the number of people in the restaurant our food came out quickly. We asked Kathy about something we saw next table and could not guess what it was on the menu. Apple fritters she said so we ordered one to go, well have it with coffee tomorrow There is a well known breakfast franchise across the highway but they are no competition to the Donut Hole, just simply there is no other place I have been in the Nation that serves as good as this and I have been to quite a few, I wish there was one near home. Place is well lit and inviting with enough personnel to tackle the crowd Place is crazy busy and when we left the line was all the way to the front porch Are we coming back? you bet we will in the week and a half we have left in Paradise. Only about a mile from Topsail Hill State Park and next time we will take the bikes, easy ride on the bike lane on Highway 98

Once again Kim you blew us away with your new menu and set up. Love the new table and chairs and…read morethe additional items on the hand held "printed " menu! Still love your personal touch on recommendations! Ordered the calamari for appetizer which was one of the best we have ever had!! Exceptional. So many new choices.. We already made reservations to return with our entire family! Here are a few pictures to drool over! The grouper piccata was exceptional over pasta with a delicious caper sauce. Of course my hubby got his favorite.. the famous ciopinno ( the best of the sea in a bowl, grouper, jumbo shrimp, mussels, clams, scallops and calamari!!) The wild caught alaskan salmon over sautéed spinach an added new favorite. Can't wait to return and try all the new items and of course our old favorites! FYI For those who are gluten free the chocolate torte is to die for. Still BYOB plus other soft drink options. It was a pleasure meeting the new head chef John who personally came out to introduce himself. We love crust!! 5 stars all the way. Miss you Mark, but Kim is carrying on your legacy! Please support this wonderful local business.

THE BEST EXPERIENCE!…read more Trust me, I'm not easily impressed by restaurant food, but the food we had here was incredible and super high quality. We ordered the Crab Cake, Manicotti, Eggplant Rollatini and Cioppino. Every single dish was constructed of high quality ingredients and expertly crafted. The yum factor was off the charts! Nothing was faux or "trying to hard" fancy, it was authentically delicious and amazing. Just beautifully prepared with delicious flavors and presented with class. We left almost "stunned" by our experience. We will definitely be returning (soon) for those Lambchops we saw heading to another table...and to try more items on the menu. This place is a gem that should not be missed if you live in the area of Grayton/Santa Rosa Beach and certainly worth a drive from Destin.
