They also are the only spot in the area that has an amazing cherry ice cream along with lots of other great flavors of ice cream. This is a really cool spot and certainly worthy of a visit. They do sell out of donuts pretty fast so get here early if you need that but they have other good options to try out here as well like their awesome ice cream. The service has always been friendly, fast and efficient for me here. Overall this is definitely a cool spot to check out near the beach.

I got a sugar free caramel latte and it was wayyyyyy too much syrup and too sweet. Maybe someone messed up with the amount of pumps because it was so sweet, it was tough to finish. My husband got an Americano and said the plain coffee was pretty good so I ll let it slide. Price for a doughnut was a little high but they are not your typical Krispy crème flavors and it's a layered doughnut that is 2x the size of a regular doughnut you'd get at the store. Price of a latte was pushing $6+ for a small which is steep considering it wasn't super great. Music VERY loud. Not only was is packed but I couldn't hear my husband at the table because it was seriously so loud in there. PRO: Bathrooms were clean. Staff were nice. Restaurant was clean and updated/renovated. Will go back for doughnuts all day, but not coffee.

Seemed to have been dipped in blueberry icing with powdered sugar or a sugary crumble sprinkled on top. I would say if you want to try something different than your typical doughnut/donut then you should definitely check this place out. The doughnuts are almost croissant like. They're airy and you can see all the layers within the doughnut. They're more dense than a croissant, so I would say it's a croissant and beignet hybrid. They also offer coffee/lattes/etc. They're made in an actual espresso machine and taste pretty good. It wasn't like some places where coffee was an after thought and you get coffee from a pot or a Keurig. It's not the best espresso or latte you'll ever have but definitely good enough to accompany the doughnut.

Lickin Good Donuts-Gulf Shores - The big downside here, for me, is any food you want warm is microwaved. I don't do microwaves plus they use canned biscuits.

Walking into Daisy's Doughnuts feels like stepping into a sweet little carnival for your taste buds! From the moment you open the door, you're greeted with the warm, sweet aroma that makes you want to try everything in sight. The doughnuts are fluffy and golden clouds of happiness. Whether you're a classic glazed lover or an adventurous eater diving into their seasonal creations, each bite is a party in your mouth. The girls behind the counter were fun and very nice. They even gave us a 10% discount card for our next visit. If you're looking to brighten your morning, treat your family, or just give yourself a well-deserved sugar celebration, Daisy's Doughnuts is the spot. read more

Such a cute little stop for breakfast while on vacation. Inside space was very tight and we were taking it to go, but there were tables outside that would give you plenty of space to sit down and eat if that is what you desire. Sometimes I can strikeout with local coffee but my Cinnamon Roll Latte was SO GOOD and surpassed my expectations. My sister's Salted Caramel Latte was also very tasty. We got the Churro donut and Salted Caramel donut and both were uniquely delicious! So many cool donut options to try as well as boba, I will be back if I vacation here again. If you are looking for a sweet breakfast or treat spot, this is it! read more

Staff has always been so friendly and welcoming when I go in. I live 7 hours away and will always find time to go visit this shop for this reason. The cold brew coffees have been one of my favorites since I've tried them. It is a small shop, but it has a good selection. Some days, the donut flavors aren't fully prepped so if you want a wider variety, just keep checking in. I enjoy the density of the donuts and the flavors! read more
