As someone that has been visiting since the original opening of Shore Good Donuts, I unfortunately feel like the quality of the food here has gone downhill. I ordered the inside-out jelly which was very disappointing. Not only was the donut itself very stale-tasting, but the hole in the donut was huge, so the moment I picked it up, all the jelly fell out and it was extremely messy and difficult to eat. If you're looking for good quality, fresh donuts, I don't think I'd recommend this place despite its location and convenience. There are many other better spots on the island worth the money. read more

Shore Good Donuts - Inside-Out Jelly - Donuts Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

Recently during our stay in Ship Bottom, we tried donuts from here. I didn't get to see the shop as my partner picked up donuts, but he told me they make them hot and fresh, so when he brought them they were still warm and nice. We tried Boston Cream and lemon glazed. Both were delicious, BC was exceptionally good. Donuts are soft and not overly sweet. Highly recommend them for beach days. read more

Highly recommend the strawberry glazed with sprinkles! No frills spot, walk in and grab a pencil and paper to get your order in as they make it to fresh! You can watch as they dip your donuts to your liking and enjoy them right away in the parking lot. read more

I really want this place to be better than it is because the concept is amazing. The service has never been bad, though it's not phenomenal either, but that's not a dealbreaker. What is a deterrent, however, is the expense for both the donuts (this can be overcome by how unique they are) and, even more so, the ice cream. The prices for ice cream here are comparable to other places on Long Beach Island, but the portion sizes are much smaller. When you compare it to a place like the Big Dipper, where a scoop of ice cream is about the size of a baseball, the small portions here for the same $$ really stand out. People generally expect higher prices when going out on LBI, but if you're looking for ice cream, there are better options that offer more value for your money. On the bright side, there is rarely a line, which says a lot in itself. read more

Shore Good's donuts are very good! They have fun flavors to choose from and the donuts are super fresh (and still warm) when you order them. The inside out Boston cream was great! They are made to order, so if there is a line or a big order, be prepared to wait a little. They also have ice cream and coffee on the menu. read more

Mediocre. The donuts are basically all the same with flavored glazes. Too sweet and gloppy for me.

Oh man this place is a classic; delicious, fresh, and really perfect for a sweet tooth craving. It gets busy but always keeps it moving, friendly staff and clean shop all around. Always a part of our summer! read more

Shore Good Donuts - Selection of donuts - Donuts Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

My daughter raves about Shore good donuts, as matter of fact she liked them better than the grand daddy of all donut shops....Peter Pan in Brooklyn- Bet We were in the area for a wedding so I told her we would buy some and give them a shot. You hit the counter and order what kind of donuts you want. They have a large variety and add the toppings once you order. The donuts were freshly fried and topped. The machine they use to fry the donuts is worth the trip. The machine automatically drops the batter into the fryer, moves it through and drops it into a cooling bowl....very neat. The donut is then topped with whatever is called for and boxed. The donuts were solid but honestly they are not anything I would go out of my way for. Peter Pan is definitely better and I would go as far as to say that Battleview orchards produces a better sugar donut. Donuts are Approx $2 a piece. If you are in the area, give them a chance and let us know what you think. The store also doubles as an ice cream shop that serves Turkey Hill ice cream if memory serves me correct. read more

These types of donut places are a dime a dozen these days, but we actually found the quality of these to better than other places we've tried! The donut had a nice crispy outside and a soft, flavorful inside. Would definitely come back!! read more

I'll make this one simple. Needed breakfast and coffee. Was coming back from Farias and the sign was finally flashing OPEN. Great customer service. Damn good coffee. We went with key lime pie and strawberry shortcake. Easy on the eyes and tasted oh so sweet n fresh. Proud of myself for showing enough discipline to stick with just one. Could have easily done 3 or 4. The jelly and boston cream were speaking to me. I said Next time I gotchu cuz I talk back to donuts. read more

Shore Good Donuts - Even made it home without scarfing them. - Donuts Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

There's no need to worry about getting a fresh donut because these little gems are made right in front of you. Hot and fresh no matter what time you decide to pop in -- no need to wait in line before the sun comes up. Any LBI vacation wouldn't be complete without a pre-beach breakfast that included something sweet. There are plenty of varieties to choose from, so I think the biggest issue will be figuring out just how many you want to get. They are definitely smaller than what you're probably used to, so it wouldn't be crazy for one person to have 2-3 of them at once. Keep that in mind when ordering. LBI summers were meant to end with ice cream, and start with donuts. Well, maybe not every day - but at least on the weekends. Treat yourself. read more

Omg the menu. Made to order, go early. AMAZING! S'mores is my favorite! We also ordered the butterscotch, French toast, inside out jelly and inside out Boston cream!! read more

Excellent donuts so fresh and warm. Line was short and fast service. Girls were courteous.

Stopped by on the way to the beach just to check it out. They had so many lovely flavors, we just had to try... 4. These were the best donuts you will ever have. Fried to perfection and they are so moist on the inside. I hadn't had them before and I have been going to LBI for a few years. I absolutely was missing out and will now never return without a trip to good shore donuts. We had the cinnamon and sugar, maple bacon, s'mores and to round them out a seasonal pumpkin. Our ranking: maple bacon, 1. Cinnamon sugar, 2. Pumpkin, 3. S'mores, 4. Give them a visit, get a to go counter and get yourself on the beach with shore good donuts. read more

Skip the ice cream and go straight for the donuts...I could not believe that no donuts were just sitting in a case waiting for the next customer. Their business model is donuts made to order, and that is exactly what they did. We ordered half dozen, 2 lemon drop, 2 french toast, maple bacon, smores. Oh my goodness. They were piping hot and they all tasted light with a slight crunch. Let's just say with every bite my hubby and I looked at each other like, wow this is incredible. I am so happy I don't live close by because it won't be pretty, lol. My favorite of all was the maple bacon!!! SHORE GOOD DONUTS ROCK!!!!! read more

The donuts are always fresh and they offer great flavor combinations. Getting a box of these donuts to take home is always a crowd pleaser.

These donuts were just OK. I liked that you can choose your toppings but the cake donuts were a bit crispy and didn't taste great. The toppings were very sweet without distinct flavors. Pretty good but not worth the calories for me. read more

Delicious taste in such a compact size. Don't let the small size fool you as every bite will be worth it. read more

Donuts were fireeee just get an assorted dozen you can't go wrong. Price actually reflects the quality which I've come to understand is rare on LBI, where people get away with charging a lot more for less, but these donuts are worth every penny. read more

Nice warm donuts. Quick service. We've been coming for many years and they never disappoint.

I only give this place a 4 star because my personal preferences are for the light doughy donuts and these are cake donuts. That said, they do the cake donuts very well, the sandy, French toast and strawberry short cake are my personal favorites. read more

Why are donuts and the beach so synonymous? Who knows but no need to question it. These donuts are fantastic. Great slightly crispy outside, soft succulent inside. What we liked most was the great array of toppings. We tried the inside out Boston cream, key lime (seasonal) and standard glaze donuts. All top notch. If you like donuts then this is a MUST try stop on LBI read more

Shore good donuts does their own thing, and sticks to it. This place makes the donuts before your eyes. They're all circular, and the usual stuffed ones, like a jelly, are inside-out (i.e., on top of center). I think less is more here. The Cinnamon sugar is the best. The creative inside-out ones, like Boston bream & key lime, are a bit too sweet, and too much. The icing is too sweet too. The coffee isn't tremendous. The rainforest coffee is the most tolerable one. I intend to come here again... with my own coffee. read more

Unexpected gem just when you least expect it... We were on our way back from Beach Haven to Newark Airport. We were on a simple search for coffee anywhere besides seven eleven. It really was a delectable treat when we fell up on the Shore Good Donuts shop right before hitting the 72 freeway back into town. We dropped in for a cup of brew and we were pleasantly surprised when we walked into see that they were serving each donut freshly right in front of you! We got the chocolate glazed and the vanilla sprinkle. My nephew ate all of his in an instant flash. It doesn't get any better than fresh. read more

Literally best donuts I ever had. They come warm and made to order and I never feel bad about how many calories these have! Worth every bite read more

This is our first time coming to LBI and this dessert made our night!! We looked up reviews for this place and the donuts looked average - the real thing was 10x better! The ice cream is your average stuff but the DONUTS are made right there. Fresh, crispy, AND soft (no matter what flavor you get). They're smaller than your usual chain restaurants but not too tiny and the price reflects the size (not quality). Great price for a perfectly sized dessert. read more

I LOVE donuts and will seek out donut shops whenever we go to a new area. Hence, today was our first time in LBI in years! Our family got a dozen donuts of almost every kind available. My favorite was the Cookies & Cream glazed. However, I was very disappointed when we walked inside and there was no Peanut Butter glaze or topping option. It's a very similar concept to Duck Donuts (DD) but a lot less glaze and topping options. The one thing that's unique to them that DD doesn't have is the Boston Creme and Jelly donut where they put it in the center of the donut. However we were all disappointed with the taste of the jelly & Boston Creme and were expecting more. The donut of the week was a Captain Crunch which no one liked. The taste of the cereal did not go well with the donut and the cereal itself was stale. For those who have tried other donut places similar to this, you will go in expecting more. The donuts are hot, fresh and taste good but there are other aspects which are lacking. read more

Shore Good Donuts - Preorder donut selections - Donuts Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

This place has really good, interesting donuts. Kinda the same deal as duck donuts where they glaze them up to order, but they have more interesting flavors here. This would be five stars, but some if their other offerings are lacking. The coffee is blah to say the least and they have a nitro cold brew which is really nothing special. They also have ice cream, but it's just turkey hill again fine but not anything to write home about. read more

Excellent fresh donuts. They are only open on weekends right now. There was no line which was great. Love being down here during off season. The staff was super friendly and helped us pick out some of the favorites. Lemon was awesome and the everything was great. which is just covered in...everything. read more

After indulging in a couple of trays of oysters, and clams the wife and I needed something sweet to combat the taste of shell fish lingering on our taste buds. I am a fan of old fashion doughnut houses and this place caught my eye when we initially arrived on the island for the day. The place is a small establishment selling ice-cream and doughnuts. The doughnuts are made to order. The minute you place an order, they dip the dough into the fryer, cook it to a light brown airy goodness, and then topped off with your choice of frosting, or sugar. I ordered a cinnamon and powdered sugar doughnut and my wife went with the French-Toast doughnut. Many people claim to have French Toast bagels, and French Toast spread...bologna!! This doughnut tasted as if I was actually eating French toast. The powdered sugar blended well with the fresh hot doughnut. The cinnamon sugar was good, but I will probably go in another direction next time. To bad the summer is coming to an end. Looks like I will have to visit again next year. read more

Best. Donuts. Ever. Do yourself and cheat on your diet here! you will not be disappointed! This place is amazing - - - Fresh donuts from the fryer with the toppings of your choice... and at 1.31 a pop - have 2!! The Inside out Boston Cream was a little touch of heaven. I went back two days in a row for it. Just the right size, sweetness and topping to donut ratio. The unsweetened iced tea and Green Mountain Coffee Bar were both a 10! Perfect pairing with your donut. I loved this place and can't wait to go back. It is so unique and it really hits the spot!! read more

Our family can not help/stop themselves from coming here each time we come to LBi!!! Even my DH who wouldn't touch a donut with a 10-ft pole sneaks a few from our box of dozens! (Don't even think about eating my share of cinnamon-sugar or Inside-Out Boston Creme ones!). Light, fresh, dense-enough and flavorful. These aren't chain or factory-made. These are sweet treats made with Love, and are Shore Good indeed! Come quick or our family will have boxed you out of your share! Made-to-order, warm and so many choices! I mean, Donut Sundaes?!?!!!! Yes they have that too!! read more

Stopped here for dessert, wasn't disappointed. They serve Turkey Hill ice cream which is a good brand. The donuts tasted fresh, nice and crispy on the outside. They have a fun selection of ice cream and donuts, not a huge array but the pickings are good. Plus, you can get a warm donut with ice cream on top. Enough said? read more

These types of donut shops are usually delicious but not this one. I love those places, fresh donuts, your pick of a topping. Mmm... However, this place was not nearly as good. The donut texture was perfect, but it had this weird taste to it. I don't know if the oil was old or what, but it really bothered me. The toppings tasted just like sugar. No flavor at all. It was just boring and definitely not worth the calories I was willing to invest in such a treat. I definitely won't be back. read more

First time here and they don't have creme filled which is okay. It's not like dunkin donuts where you see the donuts behind them. They have them on the counter for you to choose, French toast, cookies n creme, lemon drop, inside out Boston creme, inside out jelly and others. Plus you create your own donut too by choosing icing and topping. There chocolate icing is delicious, so sweet and rich. The other donuts were great too. The jelly, French toast etc.. The donuts are small but a perfect size. Now they serve them to you piping hot which I'm not use too so it was weird to see the icing melting off the donut. So I just put them in the the refridgerator . The donuts are very good and I liked their glaze icing, very sweet. They also have ice cream which I did not get and even have a ice cream donut sundae. If your in town stop in and grab yourself a donut. read more

I'm not even a donut person but the amazing donut smells from outside lured me into Shore Good Donuts. I don't regret my decision to try a warm, gooey, amazing treat. I went with the French Toast Donut and it was worth every single delicious calorie. To be honest, one donut wasn't super huge so I don't think it did *too* much damage. I could have easily eaten 2-3 and that would have been trouble. It was fresh, warm and really did taste like French toast combined with a glazed donut. It accompanied my iced coffee nicely. I didn't want to wait until I get home and chance my donut getting cold. I enjoyed it on the benches outside of the store. Amazing, amazing, amazing. I went back to my rental raved for a good 15 minutes. Just try one! read more
