    We were immediately greeted upon entry. Very friendly. Ordered quickly. Free parking Key lime filled - most excited about this but the key lime flavor was nowhere to be found Peanut butter cream - okay, wish peanut butter flavor was stronger. The choc tasted like a hershey rather than a richer choc Apple spice crumb - this was my favorite. Dough was perfect. It tasted as if a donut, cake and pie had a baby together. The apple pie filling was delectable. Love that it was dense, chewy, cake-y, fluffy donut $8.03

    Best Bavarian cream donut I have ever had. Absolutely delicious. Also tried the Key Lime Pie which was also delicious but the donut won me over. Service was quick and friendly. Will absolutely visit again when in Destin.

    Visited during the off season so had no wait and no issue parking. My sister and I each had a donut and sadly I must confess the donuts were not great. I had a blueberry donut that was dry and tasted just 'ok'. People around us had some good looking breakfasts but we were there for coffee and donut only. Coffee was tasty diner coffee and service was good. I will say we also carried out a key lime pie earlier in the week and that was fantastic. Just slightly disappointed in the donut received considering "donut" is in the name of the restaurant.

    Service was great. Food was delicious. Seated promptly around 12:40pm on a Tuesday. Been here before and will definitely return. Dessert were delicious and a great variety. Atmosphere is causal and vibes are chill.

    Third time visiting this location. Fresh donuts and muffins are quite delicious. My daughter and I both had omelets, wife had tuna salad on lettuce. Everything was very good with no complaints. Our server was super friendly. Quite a little wait outside, but they turn over the tables pretty fast, so the outside line that looked daunting, was not bad. If getting baked goods to go you can just walk right in.

    This place is so yummy and filling! We sat at the bar and I have a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and my mom had pancakes. Both meals were huge we could not finish them. However the taste was amazing and the biscuit was homemade.

    Destin, FL 32541 / COMFORT FOOD, BAKERY / 07-23-25 / TAKEOUT DESSERT +The key lime pie was amazing. Crust was nice and crunchy. The pie filling was not too sweet.

    Great place for breakfast. Everything we had was delicious! I love Eggs Benedict but often places don't know how to poach eggs or the hollandaise sauce tastes off, but not here. The Eggs Benedict here was really good, perfectly poached eggs, oh and the hashbrowns were amazing; crispy and buttery. Some of the best pancakes I've had also. I need to stop and grab some donuts when I have room. Overall solid breakfast place!

    Wow! Amazing! The cafe is super cute and I wish we'd had more time to sit and eat. We stopped in on our way out of town (because TikTok recommended it!) The donuts were thick and flavorful! Absolutely delicious! I brought a key lime pie home to my family and it was probably one of the best key lime pies any of us had ever had!!! Delicious!!!

    Friendly local breakfast spot with a welcoming atmosphere. We stopped in for breakfast and everything tasted home-cooked and delicious. The food was fresh, comforting, and exactly what you want to start your day. Easy to enjoy a sit-down meal. Before leaving, we grabbed a donut to go, and it was very good -- the perfect sweet treat for later. Sit down or takeout, worth a visit. Highly recommend!

    super old fashioned breakfast joint! it gives off classic diner and bakery. we came in after church and there was only a 10 minute wait for a table of two. we ordered the crab cake benedict and the chili omelette. both were delicious and was brought out fairly quickly too. the home fries were to die for! we also got a raspberry filled donut-go and those were just as good as the meal! would recommend to anyone wanting a quick breakfast or meal here. they don't take reservations so it's first come first serve.

    We saw the sign advertising the key lime pies and we knew we had to stop by. Ended up purchasing a full pie that we ate over 3 days. We enjoyed it so much we even contemplating stopping on the way out to take one home, but there was a line out the door. We also purchased the brownie and two chocolate chip cookies. The brownie was so rich and yummy, the chocolate chip cookies were decent but nothing to rave about.

    Beach tradition. Great doughnuts, but everything is good. Large portions, friendly hard working staff. It is what you want in a Cafe.

    Is the long line for breakfast or do I have to stand in the same line to buy a donut? I just want to try a donut and see what all the rave is about.

    Long lines is to be seated, if you just want a donut or any souvenir there's no line, just walk right in.

    Breakfast all day?

    Yes , served all day. States as such on their menus.

    Are you open 7 days a week?

    Yes!

    Are there any gluten-free options?

    No, there were no gluten free options for any of the bakery items. They do have bacon, eggs, hash browns, etc. that were gluten free.

    Hours of operation?

    I think 6am-10pm

    How is the business handling covid, I see there is carry out. Is the staff wearing mask?

    After stoping/leaving a couple of restaurants that had no basic Covid precautions (no employees wearing face covering, no tables distanced, etc), this place was a great find. Smart precautions, amazing food, great service. Not sure about takeout

    How is the Donut Hole in Destin,Florida handling carry out during this Covid19 situation? Are they open?

    They're open for dine in and carry out now.

    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
