thomas donut & snack shop

best donuts in the world. plain glazed, chocolate glazed, lemon filled. you can't go wrong. i have wanted to try the lunch menu but am too tempted by the donuts to get that far.

this place has the best donuts around. they have several to choose from and they are reasonably priced super friendly staff as well. i heard their lunch and dinners are just as good.

what a great find. we make sure to hit this place up at least once while in town. get there before 8 to avoid a long wait. with the newest addition of the ice cream shop, this place will continue to be a hot spot for tourist & locals.

here is the deal with this place. great donuts and pastries....but it's just donuts and pastries (and some other cool breakfast stuff). we like it ok, if that's what we want. decent variety and very fresh. coffee is pedestrian. can eat inside or out. the staff is ok, just there to earn a check. location is a plus. you'll like it if your expectations are realistic.

the donuts are 10x better than krispy kream the only issue is the glaze stay out over night so get a good flavor. my favorites are
- red velvet
- long john (white cream)
- peach filled

great philly!. the bf and i visited pcb and were in desperate need of donuts. found this place and the woman behind the counter suggested a philly so of course i got it. i regret nothing!!

kolaches!. the donuts are terrific and taste even better with a small coffee strolling on the beach. the biscuits and gravy were a hit with my kids, and the kolaches were "texas-style" savory--smoked sausage, ham and cheese, and jalapeno--delish. donuts: my chocolate filled was perfect. my mom's key lime was delicious, and my daughters (who don't even like donuts) demolished their powered and chocolate cake donuts. i think my husband snuck back and got a couple more when we weren't looking. i'm planning on going tomorrow! they're closed wednesdays, btw.

just made our last trip to thomas donuts this morning. dried out cold donuts at 9:30 am on a saturday? the plain glaze were just slightly damp on the outside not really any glaze to speak of and dry inside. chocolate was a little better, however it was unanimous among the three kids the donuts were too dry and they didn't really care for them. my brother ordered a large kolache, took a couple bites and realized there was very little sausage inside. he pulled the breading away from the meat, the kolache is mostly bread and a what appeared to be a sausage cut in half long ways. again, dried out. realize it's off season and probably fortunate to even have places open this time of the year in pcb, if you want good donuts go another place.

long johns are the bomb. this is one of the best bakeries around. the long johns are amazing and we get one every day when we are on vacation. our family has many discussions throughout the year about driving from tennessee to florida just for a long john!

a doughnut is a dougnut. not worth a long wait.. for years i have read about how great the doughnuts are at this little oceanside bakery, so i have made the trip there 2 or 3 times when i visit panama city fl. my experience is that if you are close by and enjoy doughnuts, pick some up but don't waste your time or money driving here from any distance. they have ok doughnuts, but their glazed doughnuts don't come close to the goodness of krispy kreme. folks on vacation like to romance these hide-a-ways, but there is really nothing there but so-so doughnuts. my next doughnut trip will be to a krispy kreme.

we get the donuts every time we come to pcb. unbelievably there was no line this morning!

no longer good. i used to love going to thomas donuts and getting apple fritters and a variety of donuts, including long johns and cake donuts with chocolate on top. my last visit will be my last visit.

the apple fritters were way over-cooked and the donuts were dried out, like they were three days old.

it was such a disappointment !!!!

popular donut shack in need of customer-friendly organization, management and employees. good donuts, glazed and sugary, which southerners (like me) seem to enjoy. however, the layout of this place is terribly frustrating. there are four windows, and on some mornings they operate them all with 1 line, and the next customer goes to the next available window. the next morning there may be multiple lines. some people like to "cheat" and go to the counter inside the building that appears to be-- or at least, "should be"-- only for the "dining in" crowd. ten dollars worth of signage would help this problem, but none located anywhere. and the employees seem to have a surprising lack of concern for the customer. if only 1 or 2 people were ahead of you, it wouldn't be a big deal, but when there are 20-- and (by my count) the average time it takes for the counter waitstaff to process one customer is 5+ minutes-- standing in line is a bad experience that is not made up for by the quality of the product sold. unfortunately, the joint is popular [although the popularity is hard to gauge because even a small crowd is so poorly processed that it makes the lines seem larger] , so it's unlikely the place will improve until patrons change their attitude and the market forces some management redirection in employee attitudes. i think i'll wait until then to go back.

the donuts were good, but the wait is insane. not worth the 20+ minute wait.

yummy!!
