the donut shoppe

as donut shops go in general it's a little sub par. although, they are the best donuts i've found in the 3yearsi've been living in jax. no crullers. the yeast was under developed in the glazed doughnuts. and, i suspect that the cooking oil could have been hotter because they were a little greasy. the bavarian cream was suspiciously pudding-like. and, everything i tried was a little on the overly sweet side. no savory options were offered. :(
for all of that, while i would never recommend this place as a foodie destination, i probably will be back. like i said, depressingly, they're the best doughnuts i found in jacksonville so far. that's not saying much. but, it's something.

the best!. have been enjoying these donuts my 23yearsof life! hope they expand and put dunkin and krispy kreme out of business

the best donuts in the country!. i have been coming to the donut shoppe for over 10yearsnow. these guys make the best donuts i have ever had, period. go ahead and look up the doughnut plant in new york city, or randy's donuts in los angeles, or any other famous spot that has been featured on the travel channel or food network. i have been to both, and the donut shoppe here in jacksonville beats them all.

as a lot of people have stated, get here early. the best selection is before 8am. while everything they put out is heavenly, you must, i repeat, you must try the ugly. yes, it costs $1.83, which is slightly higher than the regular donuts, but they are 2 times the size, and more addicting than crack, heroine, tobacco, and reality tv combined!!!! as the guys from firehouse subs say on their commercials - "if you don't agree, it's free" - i can vouch for the uglies! come look me up if you do not have a religious experience while eating it.....i will reimburse you myself! no exaggerating.....if i were on my death bed and had time for one last meal, it would hands down be a warm ugly and a glass of milk.

the staff is awesome, especially susan - who knows the regulars by name! if you are in need of a sugar rush, this is the place to go. i promise you - happiness awaits!!
