Donut King is a classic neighborhood donut shop that has built a reputation for oversized, freshly…read moremade donuts and creative seasonal specialties. We walked into a space with an old-school feel that still kept things fun, with colorful decorations, themed donuts, and custom creations displayed throughout the shop. The room had a warm, inviting energy with a steady flow of regulars coming in for their morning coffee and donuts, and the display case was filled with rows of generously sized pastries that made it hard to choose just one. It felt like the kind of local bakery that has something for everyone. The donuts are the main attraction, with a menu that includes both traditional favorites and more elaborate specialty options. We ordered a few and found the classic glazed, jelly-filled, Boston cream, and coconut donuts made fresh daily and noticeably larger than what you will find at most chain shops. Alongside the classics, the bakery regularly releases seasonal and holiday-themed donuts that are decorated with impressive attention to detail, making them just as fun to look at as they are to eat. One of the things that sets Donut King apart is its custom donut cakes and special event orders. Instead of a traditional cake, they can create large donut displays and personalized designs for birthdays, baby showers, and other celebrations. The decorations are creative, and the staff are often willing to accommodate custom requests, making it a popular option for special occasions. The drink menu complements the bakery well, with specialty lattes, coffee, and refreshing seasonal beverages that pair nicely with the donuts, making it an easy place to stop for a quick breakfast or coffee break. The staff are consistently friendly and welcoming, helping create the neighborhood atmosphere that keeps many customers coming back. While the shop can get busy during mornings and weekends, service generally moves quickly despite the crowds. The team moved through orders with efficiency, and the donuts came out fresh and well presented. Overall, Donut King is a great choice if you are looking for fresh, generously sized donuts with plenty of variety. Between the classic recipes, creative seasonal offerings, custom donut cakes, and welcoming atmosphere, it stands out as one of the better local bakeries for both everyday treats and special occasions.

I went to Donut King after someone suggested it…read more I decided to try double cup with one side being the cookie butter latte and the other side being the pistachio latte. And as someone who love lattes I can say that the lattes were 5/10 for me. They both had an artificial aftertaste that I didn't like but if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick the pistachio latte. I noticed that the syrup for them weren't mixed in and but sitting on the very bottom of the cup (especially the cookie butter side) and it was a little hard to mix them with the straw I had. In regards to the service, when I walked into Donut King, there were only two people seated and already eating (as this cafe also offers breakfast food), I was able to order with no issues however within 5 mins a swarm of people came in (about 15 people, not all together). I heard one lady speak about how she seen a video on TikTok which led her here. Either way although I ordered 5 mins before they all walked in, I ended up having to wait about 15/20 mins for my order while some who came after me ordered, received their orders, and left. This made me feel a little weird. I thought my order must have been forgotten but it was eventually called out as I was getting ready to ask an update on my order.

Loaded with banana, granola, chia seeds, almonds, and a generous drizzle of peanut butter, they were filling without feeling overly heavy. The breakfast sandwich was also really good and absolutely massive. Toasted bread piled high with eggs, cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato, with breakfast potatoes on the side. You definitely won't leave hungry! But the muffin may have stolen the show. These muffins are HUGE, and we had ours griddled, which I highly recommend. Warm and toasted with those slightly crispy edges, then topped with butter--so good. Service was a little slow when we first arrived, but there was only one waitress working, so completely understandable. Once she got to us, she was very friendly and provided good service throughout our meal. The decor is cute and gives the place a cozy, casual breakfast feel. Between the enormous portions, delicious food, and friendly service, this was a really enjoyable breakfast stop. I'd absolutely get that griddled blueberry muffin again!

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of cafes and a lover of unique local spots, I'm thrilled to share…read moremy experience with Slack Tide Coffee Co., a fantastic new addition to Kingston that opened its doors in May. The name itself, "Slack Tide," immediately resonated with me, bringing back memories of Chincoteague Island's pony swim - that perfect, serene moment when the tide is just right for safe passage for ponies through a narrow channel when the tide is neither coming in or going out. True to its name, this coffee shop aims to be "just right" in every aspect, and it absolutely delivers. I've had the pleasure of visiting twice since their opening, and each time has been a delight. My dirty chai was perfectly balanced, offering that comforting spice kick without overpowering the espresso. The London Fog latte was equally impressive, a smooth and aromatic treat. They've clearly mastered their beverage game, using quality ingredients and a skilled hand. Beyond the excellent coffee, Slack Tide offers some truly memorable eats. On their very first day, I snagged one of their limited-supply donuts - a big, brioche beauty that was utterly delicious. But the real star, and a personal favorite, was the Weekend Special Pub Breakfast Biscuit ($9.00) I enjoyed with my goddaughter after a softball game last month (see photo). This sandwich is ridiculously good: a perfectly fried egg, crispy bacon, a savory house-made pimento cheese spread, and a unique red pepper jelly, all nestled on a homemade biscuit. As with all biscuits, it's a bit crumbly; a multi-dimensional bite. It's worthwhile to stay in-store and devour it versus take it on the go and lose some of the magic to your shirt while attempting to navigate your way on MA-27 or to the laws of thermodynamics once you get it home. I ate on site while my favorite kiddo enjoyed a banana and peanut butter treat. The sandwich was a flavor explosion that I'm still thinking about. Also, I sent family members pictures while they were at brunch at some fancy Newport spot and they were quite jealous. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and efficient. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer, whether you're catching up with a friend or just enjoying a quiet moment. If you're in Kingston or passing through, Slack Tide Coffee Co. is an absolute must-visit. They've quickly become a favorite, and I can't wait to see what other delicious offerings they'll introduce. Don't miss out on this fantastic local spot - it truly is "just right"!

However, the bakery itself was rather crowded with some picking up an order while others waiting patiently for their food. I went for the tuna sandwich but opt'ed for sourdough instead of rye. The tuna was pretty good, with a reasonably seasoned fish and not too much mayo. The sourdough was toasted and held up well. The butterscotch cookie was fairly chewy and soft, though perhaps a tad too sweet for my taste. Check-in on Yelp and you'll get a free "pastry", so I can't complain too much with a free cookie. With a sandwich, free cookie, and a drink, I paid nearly $10, which wasn't too bad with the cookie. The decor is clean and a bit cutesy, without it inducing a vomiting posture. Like many writers here, the wait time is longer than other equivalent places. Fortunately I didn't have any more pressing matters that day, so I could afford a check on fb...or two checks.
