    Apple fritter
    Ava R.

    lovely customer service, cute decor, and AMAZING fritters!!! this is a must-visit for orange beach

    Two humungous apple fritters.

    My sweet tooth hit and the journey began. This hidden gem was pleasant, welcoming, and variety filled, but I came on a mission and that consisted of finding the best apple fritter in the area. Not only did they have apple fritters, but they were humungous! And the best part? Delicious! It will literally fill you up as a meal or it could take you a couple days (guilty). Still worth it. The bonus? They also make GLAZED croissants. What? YES! By the time I arrived which was around 2pm, they only had one left..yes, I bought it. (Sorry again to the lady behind me!) it was SO good. The first time I ever tried a glazed croissant and I'm a croissant lover. This thing was airy, light, and as rich as you could think covered in a thin sugary glaze. Other than that, highly recommend and plan to go back which is why I focused on two items. Ice cream sandwiches, you're next.

    Nice little family owned donut shop in Orange Beach near Publix. Service was quick and they had a variety of different, creative donuts to choose from. They have boba but I was surprised to see that they don't have coffee. A quick pitstop at Starbucks around the corner solved that though. Everything was delicious and the HUGE Apple Fritter was particularly good. I recommend stopping in at least once if you are in town.

    Woke up to a rainy morning, so it was time for a donut run! The donuts are large, fresh, and delicious with lots of great flavor options. We ate some right away, but saved some for later. Even the next morning, the donuts were still delicious and soft. I would highly recommend!

    The BEST little shop ever! You can not find friendlier or better service anywhere. The employees were so nice! Our donuts were all delicious! My family loved them so much they grabbed them up fast and I was only able to grab a quick pic during the chaos. I highly recommend City Donut!

    HOLY.COW. We walked in and immediately were met with a warm greeting from the woman behind the counter. We got a dozen assorted doughnuts , and they were all amazing and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!

    Delicious. Ended up getting donuts twice on a weekend trip they were so good! Definitely get these donuts on your weekend trip. Also, on our second time the employee gave us a few extra because she said the donuts were a little smaller than they normally like. It was so kind, even though they looked normal size for us!

    They live up to the hype. My advice is get there early they do sell out. Especially on weekends and tourist season

    We know they have great donuts, but the "cash only" sign on the door sent us elsewhere this time. So sad!

    Donuts are very good, but expect to pay for them! 12 donuts cost us about $20. Long johns are pricey as well. Very good donuts!

    I had a milk shake and it was wonderful!!! All our party was…read morevery satisfied with their ice creams! Excellent choice!

    Rolled up here for a dessert after a long day of conference-ing. I'd had this spot bookmarked for…read morea while and I was excited to try it. It's in a small shopping center that has lots of dining/dessert options. I only managed to make it about 45 minutes before close, so parking was easy and it wasn't busy. It smelled nice inside and looked clean. They offer a lot of different gelato desserts; the main draw I think is the twister cone, which is a baked cone that seems to be a donut-like pastry. This looked really good, but I was still too full from dinner to want anything quite that large. Service was a bit of a mixed bag. Two employees were there; one was a friendly young man who was clearly new as the other employee was teaching him how to ring up orders; the other was a surly older woman who seemed annoyed that I'd stopped in. I'm somewhat sympathetic since I did come in a little close to COB, but I don't think ~45 minutes is too unreasonable. I asked if they could make one of their signature cones in a cup instead and they agreed. I got the tiramisu variety, which is tiramisu and coffee gelato with coffee syrup and a ladyfinger. It was made in a reasonable time and I was rung up and headed out to my car to bring it back to eat at my hotel. The price was a little high but the portion was absolutely massive. You could easily split this treat. I certainly was unable to finish it. Overall, I thought it was only okay. The texture of the gelato was lovely, but the flavors were just kind of muted. I thought it should've been a bit sweeter, but not because the coffee was too strong; indeed, the coffee flavor was also just sort of light and unobtrusive. The syrup had an artificial taste that I wasn't crazy about and I was relieved when I'd eaten down past it to just spoonfuls of gelato. Lastly, the ladyfinger was sadly very stale, and even an attempt at ice cream rehydration didn't help it much. If I were to return, I'd definitely try one of the twister cones and would probably opt for a different flavor. Curiosity sated, for now!
