Tired of paying $5 for 1 donut at a local specialty store, I decided to swing by Nicola's at around…read more10 AM on a Friday. The shop keeper was as nice as nice could be. I could see that they had sold out of a few items, like fried oreo donuts, but they still had plenty of delicious treats left. I went with an apple fritter, guava-filled donut, samoa donut, and a frosted, then topped with mini M&Ms donut. Total cost for 4 pastries: $11.00. I made the mistake of having a piece of the apple fritter on my way home, and sadly could not stop eating it; thus, no picture. However, it was AMAZING. One of my favorites ever. The other donuts were parceled out over the weekend, and they were all delicious. This store has been around forever, and they are just as good as they always were. They also offer breakfast sandwiches and various coffees. Parking can be tricky even with their own parking lot, but it's worth the hassle. If you're done overpaying for fancy donuts, Nicola's will satisfy the craving.

Cronut!!! I always dream of their cronut donut. Our family…read morehas been going to Nicola's for years. Hands down best donuts I've had in Tampa. This is hidden gem quaint neighborhood donut shop with a mom-and-pop feel. The pastries and service are both 5 stars. On our recent visit we came in about an hour after opening and were pleasantly greeted by the happy employee and their delectable donuts. With dozens of tasty treats to choose from we went with our favorites. Cronuts, apple fritter, cake donuts, and fruity pebbles. Thinking of it now makes totally giddy. We happily paid $18 for 8 speciality donuts. Nicola's is a favorite. I totally recommend. Get there before they sell out!

I stopped by later in the day, and they were basically sold out of almost everything which, honestly, is usually a great sign for a donut shop. There were only a few apple fritters left, along with some Boston cream donuts, so I grabbed a box to bring to the office during my clinical rotations and made sure to save one of each for myself. The apple fritter was absolutely delicious. fresh, flavorful, and packed with that perfect balance of sweetness and texture. The Boston cream was just as good, with a light, fluffy donut and a rich filling that wasn't overly sweet. The biggest compliment I can give is that the entire office loved them, and they disappeared quickly. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the whole place had that classic mom-and-pop shop feel that's getting harder to find these days. You can tell they focus on making quality products rather than trying to be a trendy chain. Next time I'll definitely make it there earlier before everything sells out. If a shop is running low by the afternoon, they're clearly doing something right. Hole In One Donut is a hidden gem, and I'd absolutely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. I'll definitely be back.

It was particularly disheartening to receive such poor treatment from individuals who are minorities themselves. I hope you will address this matter with your team to ensure that all customers are treated with respect and receive equal customer service.

Don't expect fluffy yeast donuts from Krispy Kreme. These are cake donuts with a crispy exterior and warm soft cake center. Their iced coffee was a perfect accompaniment. Their location can be found on their website or by following them on social media. Looks like they spend most of their time in Bradenton, Wesley Chapel and both Downtown and South Tampa where I first tried them at the Hyde Park Pet Parade.

I know most people in this area are from NY/NJ, and within one day, I had three strangers be super friendly to me. Interesting.... Anyway, the Cinnamon-Sugar was very good, the Powdered Sugar was good, and the other one wasn't memorable. It takes at least five minutes for them to make the donuts, but the service is friendly. If you're patient or have time, I recommend getting a half-dozen to see if they're for you.

I've have the latte special, flat white and a cappuccino and had a positive experience across all boards.

I really like you all. Keep killing it, I'll be back atleast once a month to try the specials.

The portion size and price were solid, though compared to other places you can get bigger portions with more toppings. We asked for the condensed milk on the side since it can be too sweet, and while the topping selection isn't huge, the basics are done really well. The shaved ice was light, fluffy, and perfectly refreshing. The space is cozy and modern, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy dessert. I would highly return to try more flavors.
