Legit non chain related donut shops are non existent in this state so when I come across one that is a small local spot I'm all about it! So I've been told get here early or don't even bother and that's exactly what we did and I must say these are definitely some of the best donuts in the state as they are hot fresh and just classic but definitely with their own unique style. So the blueberry cake donut was definitely my favorite as it was super flavorful with blueberry donut goodness as well as a yummy icing on top to set the vibe to the donut goodness one could totally get again and again! The jelly donut was awesome like it's up there with one of the best ones I've ever had as the flavors were totally there and just a perfect doughnut from start to finish. So we are suckers for apple fritters and we totally had to get one to try and I must say while it was good it wasn't my favorite as these I'm very picky with as I love them flat and really crispy and not everyone does them this way so I can't knock them for their own style and besides it was definitely good for what it was just not the go to one for me! There straight up is only a window in the door a true hole in the wall where you pick what you want from the window with a nice lady helping us she was very quick to get the line down! If you plan on using a card to pay they to charge you a fee so just plan accordingly or bring cash to avoid it! Overall if you live in the area you should totally come here if your traveling takes you through Ocala you should come here and if your just looking for good donuts yes you should come here so get the grease sponge recipe ready for whoever comes next! read more

Being that I am down here in Ocala for a bit due to a sick family member it's offering time to check out some must visit spots. I was told that Tas-T-O's donuts was a must and they weren't wrong. This is an old-school donut joint doing it retro-style which is the best way! I made sure to be there right after opening at Saturday 6:15am and there were already cars pulling up. I was told get there super early or be shut out. I can see why, as these donuts are the real deal! Made fresh overnight and put on display shelves in the front window. You order from the front door window and also point to the ones you want and how many. I got a box of a dozen and it was less than $20, a variety of donuts, apple fritters, and glazed bow ties. Along with a tasty large cup of coffee for around $3. All I'll say is "WOW"!!!! The donuts are delicious, soft, moist, fluffy, and so fresh tasting. No wonder they sell out fast, as most days they are open 5 or 6am until noon, and many times they close early once they sell out. Closed on Monday and Tuesday. You can see the kitchen in full view with all it's equipment and racks through the windows. Oh, and the service is terrific. The girl working this overnight to morning shift making the donuts was very kind and nice to chat with. Even though she had to be tired she was cheerful with a smile as we discussed the business and answered my questions about the business and area. Fantastic donuts, variety, price, and customer service. So glad I made it over to this donut heaven. read more

I actually ventured to Tast-T-O's Donuts after the gym early this morning. I have heard so much about this donut shop and it's definitely a legendary place to go in our big little city. Ive been curious for some time so I'm glad that I went there today. When they run out of donuts they close even though closing time is set for noon. The shop is open Tuesday-Friday at 5:00 am, Saturday and Sunday at 6. Monday and Tuesday just dream of these donuts because they are closed. When I approached Tas-T-O's it appeared as I imagined rather unique and not like most places as you go to the window you stand in a line and you wait to order. So it's take out only so be prepared. But let me tell you the service is fantastic and the girl working was extremely kind. Since I've never been there I asked many questions and she explained to me everything I asked. Since there were many people behind me I made it brief but she was wonderful. The kind of person you know that liked her job, enjoyed being around people and making them happy giving the best customer service that she possibly could. I picked two dozen, one for home and one for the gym so the overnight guys could have some when I go back tonight. These apple fritters were huge and looked amazing, the bowties fluffy and everything just called to me it was so hard to choose. The ones with sprinkles had so many they were smaller probably cake like and the others yeast! The cinnamon roll enticed me as well and when I came home that and the apple fritter I think I devoured in less than 5. So delicious, oh my! There was some with nuts and there was glazed, there was raspberry jelly, maple nut roll, blueberry, Bavarian cream and so many more! The filled and fritters cost a bit more but honestly these price were good and you need to go to Tas-T-O's and experience what Ocala has hidden from you it is a delight. This donut shop I believe was first opened around 1969!

This is a hidden gem from my very own hometown! Fair warning this place requires some early risers and patience. This place is known for selling out so get there early unless you wanna be disappointed. They accept cash and card but cash tips are always appreciated! The service here is always top notch, they work hard to make some delicious doughnuts, the staff are so welcoming and kind. Take it from a returning customer of many years, these doughnuts are amazing. I will say majority of these doughnuts are a cake-doughnut style with different toppings and glazes. They also offer jam filled and apple fritters. Anyone you pick will be delicious. My favorite doughnut of any kind is a maple glazed and this one is always sweet and so crave-able, I have to get it every time I'm here! I can't wait to come back! read more

Soft & airy donuts are my favorite and Tas-T-O's glazed donuts are exactly that! So soft and delicious! We get a dozen glazed donuts to last a few days for special occasions. The glazed donut holes are my personal favorite. You can't beat the prices here! The only downside is these donuts are fresh and sell out by 10am usually and even earlier on holidays! I've come at 9am on Mother's Day and they were already sold out. Gotta get here early if you really want them! read more

We were staying in Ocala for a few days and while here my wife said "hey let's go get donuts tomorrow morning". When we travel to a different city we sometimes look for different local donut and coffee shops. My saw Tas-T-O's Donuts and said we have to go here. So we woke up at 5:45am (I know right that's way too early) to go get donuts. Wow they all looked amazing! We loved how they were all good as well as at a great price! I was shocked it only cost us around $15 for the donuts we got! My favorite was the cinnamon roll! They open at 5am and when they sell out they close. That's why my wife said we had to get there early to get the best pick of the donuts!!! They close at 12pm regardless of what donuts are left. The variety of donuts we got were good! Some of them were a little dry. But overall they were good and would definitely comeback next time we are in the area! The staff were super friendly that morning. I could only imagine how long she had been there working all night by herself and then had to sell them as well. Long day for her. read more

Get in line early enough for fresh, light, fluffy donuts! Great service too. When they run out you will be out of luck until next time.

I've left a previous review for this donut spot. I used to love it here. It's a little drive from my house but was always worth it. Today I ordered two cake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, two regular donuts with chocolate frosting, one pumpkin, one with nuts and one with coconut. The pumpkin tasted fresh. The regular donuts with chocolate frosting chewed like cardboard so we only took one bite each. The cake donuts were over fried. Because they were over, the flavor tasted like used oil, old used oil. read more

I buy these donuts at my church on Sunday. Best donuts in Ocala. Wished I could have them everyday. They're the best....ohhh I already said that. But seriously, they are the best. read more

We came to get donuts on Christmas Eve, and when we arrived around 7:30 most of the donuts in the front window had been purchased. Luckily they had more in the back, but it was definitely a good sign that they were a popular spot! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the flavor options were diverse but not overwhelming. We got a dozen donuts (including 2 massive apple fritters) for about $16, which in my opinion is a decent price. But holy cow were we blown away by these donuts. I can't recall another donut place having better donuts, honestly. The Boston cream was perfect, the old fashioned melted in your mouth, and the blueberry was a surprisingly popular one amongst the group. If you are in the mood for a donut please come here! read more

Best doughnuts I town! They must be good and loved by many because they've been around 4ever

These are the real deal donuts. The glazed donuts are soft and fresh. One of the best things about this place is that they sell out every morning. I usually get there early so I can have the ones I want. My favorite one is a seasonal one--it's the orange glazed cake donut. Usually they do not have those, so the filled ones are always a win. This is a small business in Ocala. They work hard to stay consistent. I have always had good service here. It's a walk up window with good conversation while you wait your turn. read more

Friendly staff, donuts made from scratch, what is not to love? When you bite into the donuts you're hooked. Get there before 8 am to get more choices. read more

You better rise and shine early, bc if you don't you'll be missing out! The early bird definitely gets their choice of Donuts here :D ...and bet your bottom nickel they will be completely sold out by 10:30am. (Cash Only) Wow what can I say, Tas-T-O's Donuts has the BEST Donuts EVA and have been open since 1969! They have so many selections to choose from that it makes it hard for you to decide which donut to sink your teeth into, but don't worry I'm sure you will chose more than one like me. Haha! So get your cash ready and stand in line. (Walk-up window only) Their donuts are super fresh and the white icing is nice and flaky while the chocolate icing is smooth and creamy. Mmmm Mmmm I want one or two now just talking about them haha! Since you can't just chose one, I tried: · Donut holes: That soft flaky ball of goodness is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face and bring back those childhood memories. · Chocolate covered donut: Mmm that chocolate was flaky on top and became smooth molten chocolate once it hit the roof of your mouth with pure sweetness....that kind of sweetness that makes you grin with your eyes closed. HA! · Fritter donut: Wheww this was a pretty boy donut for sure, and I loved the cinnamon and sweet icing flavor and that soft donut under the more textured crust was amazing! Gotta get you one but don't expect to share, so grab two LOL Not only are the Donuts memorable bc of their deliciousness, but the lady that takes your order, which has been working there for over 15 years, has the best hospitality. She greets you with a smile and positive attitude that just adds to your joyful morning. As you walk away you know your day is only going to get better bc you have that white bag or box of donuts in your hand, which you know will only bring more joy to your life. So if you ever find yourself in Ocala and you're up early, be sure to stop by Tas-T-O's Donuts, if you don't you will regret it! I look forward to my next visit! Mmmm Mmmmm :D read more

Wanted to find an old school donut shop in Ocala and this place fit the bill. Be forewarned, they sell out quickly in the morning! I once tried to go at 10AM on the weekend and all they had left were a handful of the plain cake donuts. We tried another time on a weekday around 7:45AM and while there was already a short line, it moved quickly and the full selection was there. We ordered a dozen donuts ( 1/2 cake, 1/2 yeast/filled). In general, we are partial to yeast donuts and they have a good variety there. Our favorite was the original glazed, the donut was just the perfect consistency, very light but still moist. We also tried the boston cream, jelly, lemon-filled donuts, and chocolate glazed. All were good, the only thing I would say is that the frosting they use is very, very sweet. The cake donuts were fine, but again I'm not the best of this type as I prefer the yeast. read more

I give it a10 but their stars won't go above 4 for some reason.. read more

Pretty ok donuts here. It's counter service only so you need to take your food and eat it elsewhere. I liked that there was different fruit glazes, like strawberry and pineapple. Right now there are seasonal flavors like pumpkin. Overall the donuts weren't amazing but they weren't bad. read more

I found out online that this is CASH ONLY before visiting, thankfully. Needed donuts for work and decided to drive here while passing all the Dunkin Donut places and I'm glad I did! For the most part, I liked the set up but ordering is a struggle and figuring out what kind of donut was also difficult. Got my donuts though and they were delicious! Glad I ended up getting more than I needed! Parking was limited but we all figured it out. read more

I love the donut holes they make. But you would also love the fritters and the cinnamon rolls, OMG!!!! Tas-T all the time

We are from out of town and looked for donuts in the area that were not Dunkin' so we drove to this donut shop. I've been visiting Ocala for over 10 years and never knew about this donut shop. I have to say they are the freshest best tasting donuts I've had in a long time! we got there kinda late (8:30AM) and did not have a lot of options but every single donut we got was AMAZING! We've been to many donuts shops (even fancy donut shops) and this is probably our favorite cause, 3 hours later we were still talking about the donuts. This will be a new Ocala visit tradition during the holiday! read more

I remember going to the Abshier location when I was in maybe middle school, probably ten years ago, and I hadn't had it since that one closed. This morning I went up to Ocala to see my parents and got hungry, so looked for ideas on here. When I saw someone had reviewed this place six months ago, I figured, correctly, it was worth going 20 minutes out of the way for. The doughnuts were as good as I remembered, even sweeter actually! The lady working there said this location has been open since the 70s. The parking space is limited for having to get out of your car and order at a window, but tons of people were in and out pretty efficiently. I told my parents I was bringing a sweet surprise and my dad even waited for it before going to work, which I believe did not disappoint. My mom said she had no idea they were still open, either. Delicious surprise for us! read more

Apple fritter was good. Donuts no so good. Something in the texture and after taste that both my wife and I both don't like.

Tas-T-O's has the best donuts in town for breakfast. Be sure to get there early before they sellout!

I love this mom and pop vibes the donuts are cake donuts and delicious I love them strawberry frosted and those donut holes are superb

Probably the best donuts in Ocala, but extremely expensive!! If you don't have cash, they do charge a fee for the payment of a debit card or credit card. read more

Y'all... we just had some amazinggg cake donuts. So fresh, and soft. Not dry at all, super moist. Our first time here, and we will definitely be back! I got 2 cake donuts with strawberry glaze, sooooo good. My husband got whatever the cinnamon (pinecone maybe?) was and it was great. No dry hard pieces in any of them. They were all cooked to perfection! The regular cake donut with glaze tasted like a piece of cake, it was absolutely delicious. First come first serve, we got there at 8:30ish on a Sunday and there was still a good selection but I'm sure that varies daily. $1 fee for using a debit/credit card but they do accept them in case you don't have cash. read more

Terrible and over priced. We threw them all away. We bought six donuts and it was over $12

Oh. My. Lord. I grew up in Memphis, Tn and we had doughnut shops all over the city that made melt in your mouth perfect chewiness factor and amazing flavor yeast glazed doughnuts . I haven't had those kind of plain yeast doughnuts since I was 12. And it's not from lack of effort either! I tried so many doughnuts in 6 different states that I finally gave up bc I couldn't find a doughnut as good as those mom and pop places I grew up with. Until today. The plain glazed doughnuts here were every bit as good as what I remember from childhood. I'm in trouble now that I know how good this place is. read more

Any donut that can taste as delicious on day 2 than it did on day 1 is for me! I visited Ocala recently and heard this was the place to pick up your breakfast needs, the only catch was you had to get there early because they were destined to sell out. I dragged my behind out of bed at dawn, made it to Tas-T-O's and munched on these tasty circles of sugary heaven for the remainder of the weekend. There is no store front here, it's a window where you order, glass so you can see the selection they have and enough space for them to hand you the donuts while you hand them the cash. (cash only btw). Everyone in the household loved these donuts, we tried all different flavors and did not see one left half eaten or un-enjoyed they were real deal delicious! I might have to hurry up and go back to Ocala just to have more of these glazed, sprinkled and dipped pieces of pleasure in your mouth! Simply amazing! read more

Another cool doughnut place that we stumbled while camping. Camping and doughnuts must go hand in hand. This place is not like any other doughnut restaurant that I've been to. You don't actually go inside. You simply walk up to the store front, select the doughnuts you want from behind the store windows and pay at the front door. Gives it a very small town, old timey feel that you can't get in Orlando. We selected a variety of flavors, but I experienced the BEST Boston Cream that I've ever had, at this spot. Highly recommend this place. Bring water or milk. read more

Amazing made on the spot from scratch. If you have a church that you go to that wants weekly donuts delivered they will sure do it. Donuts are never sold from the day before. Mrs. Dee Dee has been there forever and works her ass off because she truly cares about her customers. Their glazed donuts are the best. As you bite into it the glaze melts in your mouth. If you haven't tried it you are missing out. read more
