    This spot is in a great location and right on the corner of Claressa & Crescent Ave. Great views and service. Mid day there were plenty of options to choose from. All different sizes and shapes! Extremely soft donuts overall and looking forward to coming back!

    Walkup at Island Donuts

    Man, this has to be the best donut shop on the island. Nice, hefty, tasty donuts fresh in the morning. Good old fashioned fresh coffee. The locations is perfect and the service is great. When we stopped in grandma and grandson were serving behind the walkup window. Both were very friendly and took great pride in the business and wonderful donuts. I highly recommend Island Donuts if you're looking for the best donuts in town. Get there early if you can because being the best means the donuts go fast.

    Normally I'm really good about taking pictures for some reason I didn't but they're Maple donut is amazing one of the best I've ever had humongous size very generous and flavor and in texture if it wasn't on the other side of the country for me I would definitely go back

    HUGE $2 donut!
    Julie L.

    Borderline novelty size, these huge donuts are not outrageously priced unlike everything else on the island. There was a rush right before me but I did manage to get a chocolate glazed donut to share with the family. I was expecting to pay $6+ but it was only $2. Nice chew to the donut, not too airy. My youngest felt it was "too chocolatey" but no such thing! Delicious; will be back again next time. 5 solid stars; Homer Simpson approved!

    We would've done a before but couldnt wait to eat them

    Amazing donuts, great service, the staff are amazing! Great thing to get after parasailing, would've done a before pic but couldnt wait to eat them

    This donut shop has one of the best views of any donut shop I've ever been to given that it is right across from Avalon Bay so you can stare at the water while you order a donut. It's a very small location with a walk up window only. We arrived around 1 PM and they were already about to close and were very limited in options. We met the owner who was very polite and offered us a good deal but the only options at that time were a Sprinkles Donut and a Cinnamon Roll. Some of the other reviews mistakenly called it a Cinnamon Roll Donut. It is not. It is a Cinnamon Roll. Both that and the Sprinkles Donut were very good and they honestly really hit the spot. I was hoping to try the Maple Bacon, but sadly it wasn't an option. I think pricing is fair and the service was polite so I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the island and would certainly stop in again next time I'm in the area.

    best donuts on the island, maybe the best in the world.... She was so nice, such a passionate business owner, everything was fast and easy. The ambiance is super pretty in the middle of the town.

    This very well may be a true hole in the wall .......... it is a takeaway window only. There isn't any seating, so we found our seating across the street, along the boardwalk. The staff was very friendly, and she had a great attitude that started our morning out right. If you haven't guessed: it's a very small place. Please see my pics of their menu and the donuts that were available. Their little alcove can get crowded quickly but the line also moves quickly. We asked for our donut to be cut in half, so our pic reflects that. Our donut and cup of coffee were fine. They were quick, easy and a pleasure to buy from.

    Classic Raised Donut
    Monica H.

    A little overpriced in my opinion. $2.00 for a classic raised donut. I do understand that this is an island and everything has to be imported, so l guess I have to factor that into the higher cost. As for the donuts, these were not the best donuts I have had. I thought the raised donut tasted a little bland, but my son really enjoyed his cake donut. The woman at the window taking the orders seemed complacent. She didn't smile or welcome us. She just stood at the window quietly as I placed my order, then handed me the bags after I paid without a single word spoken. Very Interesting!!! If you like a-lot of options, they don't really have a wide variety of donuts choose from. Lastly, this location is to-go only. There is no seating.

    Delicious donuts! We were hungry by the time the ferry arrived in Avalon, so we stopped by. It's just a walk up window. But its quick! We got an old fashioned donut, a blueberry, and an Oreo one. Yum! You can also get coffee here if needed. They do take credit card and Apple Pay.

    Maple Donut
    Julianne R.

    I originally wasn't going to get a donut here because I was told they only took cash (and I failed to take some off the cruise ship), but I was pleasantly surprised to discover they take credit card, so... although I'm not a huge donut fan... I got me a maple glazed one! Look at it. It's huge! It was so yummy, I ate the entire thing in one sitting. I'm definitely trying another one next time I visit. Oh, and note that you place your order at a window.

    A very cute little spot with a decent variety of donuts. It's a small stand and the closest seating is on the benches across the walkway facing the ocean. The service was quick and it's a good place to stop at if you're looking for something on the go. The donuts themselves had good flavor, but were a little dry from sitting out.

    Got here too late in the day, so there weren't many options left. I had chocolate sprinkle cake donut. It was delicious and super soft. Would come back!

    My mom and I recently visited from Europe, and it was our first time in the United States. I was…read morehonestly pretty nervous about ordering because English isn't my first language, and my mom doesn't speak English at all. Justin was the one who helped us, and he made the whole experience so much easier. He introduced himself, was very patient with us, and never made us feel rushed. He gave us time to look through the menu and answered all of our questions with a smile. My mom was worried about not being able to communicate, but Justin made her feel comfortable and welcome from the start. That meant a lot to us. The restaurant itself also had a really warm and cozy atmosphere. We loved the country-style interior. It felt welcoming and relaxed, which made it even easier for us to enjoy our first restaurant experience in America. Justin also took the time to recommend some great places to visit on the island and even gave us some suggestions for Los Angeles. You can tell he genuinely cares about people and wants them to have a good experience. This was honestly one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. Justin played a big part in making our first trip to America such a positive memory. Thank you, Justin!

    I've known this spot has been around for a long time, and I noticed it's been receiving more and…read moremore attention. It's summer, so it's the perfect time to finally check this spot out. Parking: They're located in a high foot traffic plaza with a small parking lot so finding an open spot will be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: This is a quick grab-n-go location. No indoor seating. They have four outdoor tables. The donuts are displayed and labeled. Love the decor and vibes. Service: I was greeted immediately every time I entered. Everyone is courteous, quick, & efficient. Doughnuts & coffee: The donuts are surprisingly not overly sweet. Presentation is absolutely eye catching. Their flavors sound intimidating yet interestingly delicious, and it tastes even better. Their flavors sound drinks are a hit or miss. So far, I've only tried their mochas and lattes. Their drinks are sweet. If you prefer sweet drinks, then these are for you. Their cold foams could use some work bc it disappears after 20 min and lack some flavor. - S'mores Mocha (seasonal) - Brown Sugar Latte (seasonal) - Vanilla Latte (staple) - Donuts: Mango Sticky Rice, Potato Chip Streusel, Butter & Salt, Saigon Cinnamon Crumb Pricing: They're constantly offering seasonal donuts and drinks. Highly recommend downloading their rewards app. You'll get a welcome reward and many coupons.

    Hands down one of the best donut shops around! I stopped by on the 4th of July and tried their…read moresummer specials--the Passion Fruit Pavlova donut and the S'mores Iced Mocha--and both were absolutely delicious. The staff is always warm and friendly, the donuts are incredibly fresh, soft, and full of flavor, and the coffee never disappoints. They also typically carry a Vegan and gluten friendly donut option. Whenever I'm in the OC, I have to stop by for a donut... or two... or three. Definitely a place that's worth the visit every time!
