    I stopped by Nauti Donuts on National Donut Day while heading down to Cape May. I tried the "Captain's French Toast" donut topped with maple icing, cinnamon sugar, and powdered sugar and my boyfriend had the "Rogue Wave," which is topped with Oreo crumbles and vanilla icing. Plus, we got a free chocolate glazed donut for the occasion! The donuts were fresh, warm, and fried to perfection. Service was really friendly. An employee even came outside to offer napkins, which was a nice touch. The shop has a cute beachy, coastal vibe, and there are a few tables and chairs outside to enjoy your treats. There was no wait, and the prices very great given the great quality and customization options. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend Nauti Donuts for a tasty, fresh donut stop if you're in Ocean City.

    My favorite thing in life are hot and fresh donuts. So when I'm in Ocean City, I'm going to stop at the best places for donuts. Nauti definitely has a very clean vibe. The staff were excellent. However, I was a little disappointed with the donuts. They were just good, not great. And I wouldn't complain except when you're dropping between $25-$30 for a dozen. Will I be back? Maybe. But if you're looking for a better donut for half the cost, hit up Brown's on the north side of the boardwalk.

    We got the mermaids delight, the salty dog and a cold brew with cold foam. Total was around $14. The donuts were made fresh and then the toppings were added. The girls working were very nice and helpful.

    We make a point to stop here every summer in Ocean City! Can't go wrong with these donuts! Friendly staff and fun options.

    Have to say I was a little disappointed with my last visit. Despite watching the donuts being made and the long line of customers our donuts weren't warm when we sat down. And we sat down immediately to taste a our small sampling. Great place, plenty of room and lots of choices. I felt the donuts were on the small side compared to other places on the island.

    $2.39 for 1 donut? I can get a 4 pack of day old (bigger) donuts for $2.99 at Acme. And, I don't have to stand in line while a %&^*$#@& parent lets their kid decide what kind of donut they want. What were you doing for the last 20 minutes while you were waiting in line?!?! I LOVED THIS DONUT!! I chocolate coating, bacon topping and caramel drizzle. I was very happy with this combo. The employees were working their tails off. Very nicely decorated bathroom. Dear Nauti Donuts, Please consider making parents with kids that don't know what donut they want go to the back of the line and start over. Thank you

    Oh WOW! We went for a mid morning walk and ended up at Nauti Donuts! It was a hard, hard, hard decision to make a choice of just 2 each! They came to us warm and fresh! I ordered one with vanilla and was thrilled that the vanilla stayed on top and was not totally melted since the donut was warm. Service was great. They have a clean restroom and clean eating areas both inside and out!

    10/10 holy cannoli ... I literally waded through a foot of water to get here last weekend. The donuts are hot, freshly made, and custom to order. Their combinations are inventive, colorful, and delicious. The storefront caught my eye as I was on my way to the deli across the street and I had to stop in! Their cold brew coffee is TASTY and strong. I ordered 4 dozen donuts and they were ready in under 20 min. Our movie crew was over the moon. I stopped in the next two days to get more donuts and coffee. Really wonderful place! Highly recommend!

    There's two types of donuts in this world: the ones with a bunch of toppings on them and those that are best served plain. Obviously this place specializes in the former, but is that necessarily the best? The five star rating this place garnished along with its listing as top 25 donut places made me venture to this spot. It actually usurped my breakfast stop to fractured prune. I got the maple glazed donuts one with pork roll and the other with bacon because after all what's a donut without a heavily salted pork product on top. I also got a coffee which was top notch and almost deserved 5 stars itself. The interior was new and accommodating with lots of chairs and amble outdoor seating as well. The had a water station out to pour a cup. All and all coming away from here it was top tier for loaded donuts, but it made me appreciate the OG Browns donuts just a little bit more.

    Nauti Donuts on 21st & Asbury is amazing!! We got the Mermaid's Delight and Firecracker donuts. Mermaid's Delight was DELISH- had fruity pebbles on top and was so freshly warm. The Firecracker one wasn't very donut-y, it was more of a mediocre cake. But still looked pretty. Overall Nauti Donuts is so tasty and everyone should get the fruity pebbles one. They have dealt creative flavors here- I love trying new things so this place is perfect for me. A few years ago my dad and I went on a king bike ride and were so hungry that we bought the Nauti Dozen & ate them all in one sitting. These donuts are flavors are really so good- you need to try them if you're in Ocean City.

    Excited to be here!

    @nauti_donuts in Ocean City NJ (OCNJ) by far has the best donuts I've ever tasted! What separates one donut from the next? The batter and taste! These donuts are made fresh when you order them, so they are hot lil delights of deliciousness!! Their taste is second to none. The Line Up: Cinnamon Sugar: A classic Rogue Wave: Vanilla icing, Oreo crumbles The Lifesaver: Cinnamon sugar, Spiced apple filling, salted caramel drizzle Overboard: Chocolate icing, Bacon #nauti_donuts #oceancitynj #ocnj #donuts #sweettooth #sweettreats #musttrydonuts #delicious #everythingisbetterwithbacon

    I came, I ate, I enjoyed. I see why this is the #1 donut place in NJ and top places in the US. If you ever in the area you must stop by. Trust me it's worth it. The donuts are made while you wait. This is not Dunkin. They are warm and moist. Melt in your mouth. I'm serious am trying to decide if these are better than Krispy Kreme when hot. Nauti definitely has more variety and you can make your own custom donut with the toppings you want! It was also my first time to Ocean City. Very nice and well kept area. I wish all of NJ was like this. Sorry about the dozen donuts image. I could not wait to try them.

    In search of a good donut, we trekked down to try these. The spot is fresh, bright, open and just felt NEW. Service was fast and friendly. It was a bit confusing to order so we tried a chocolate icing, cinnamon sugar, and an anchors aweigh special donut. It looked like a choose your own 3 step but in reality only certain donuts could have toppings or icing. The cinnamon sugar was by far the best as the donut was perfectly soft, good cinnamon flavor without being overpowering, and had a great cake-y taste. The other two were good, just sort of standard cake donuts.

    Waaait for it!!

    Not your average breakfast joint! My wife's family has been vacationing in Ocean City for years and…read morethis was everyone's first visit to Hooked on Breakfast. One of the servers who knows our niece suggested we stop by for breakfast during her shift and recommended we come before 8 am as it gets busy. By the time we arrived (after 8 am lol) our only option was to sit outside, otherwise the wait would've been 45 minutes--she was right. When I say I'm not a breakfast person, I don't mean I dislike breakfast foods. I just don't enjoy eating early in the day. This did not stop me from looking through pictures on Yelp and Google (Wow! Everything looked delicious!) and through the menu which had some very intriguing options including Woody's Scrap Pile, Cannoli Pancakes, and Breakfast Sushi (only on Tuesdays) just to name a few. The menu has all your typical breakfast foods and combos you'd find at any diner or breakfast joint, but then there are also much more unique, elaborate "craft" options that really make this menu stand out. Our server, who is also a teacher in my niece's school, was great. She was friendly, attentive, professional, frequently checked in, and was especially good with the kids, offering crayons and their choice of colored straws. While I didn't eat, my 5 star rating is based on the service (of course), the coffee, and unanimous positive remarks from around the table. I really liked the coffee mugs. They were large (larger than your average coffee mug), sturdy mugs that were filled nearly to the brim with piping hot coffee. My wife got the Sour Dough Delight--grilled sour dough topped with bacon, goat cheese, arugula, balsamic reduction (which she skipped) and two eggs (any style). She loved it and told me she'd absolutely order it again after she tries the Avocado Naan. Guess we're coming back at least twice more lol! Our table also had an Omelette, a breakfast sandwich, and French Toast. Everyone enjoyed their food and the portion sizes were huge--I don't think anybody finished their plate. While I did think the prices were fair, especially for the quality and quantity of food served, the online menu hadn't been updated to reflect current prices. I can see why they get as busy as they do and why they've received so many 5 star reviews. I'm sure Hooked on Breakfast will be added to our list of stops on our annual Ocean City family vacation after our experience this July.
