Last morning in Key West and I finally made it here, just after watching the sunrise at the Southernmost Point buoy. I arrived around 7:30 a.m., and the place was already starting to get busy. Food They offer a very interesting assortment of donuts, including flavors you don’t typically see elsewhere. Options like Blueberry Cheesecake, Brown Butter Hazelnut, and Cuban Coffee Cake stand out. I chose the Cuban Coffee Cake. It was essentially a spiced coffee cake shaped like a donut, topped with plenty of glaze and crumble. The portion was generous. It could easily feed two people, but I managed to finish the entire thing. For a beverage, I ordered a Mocha Latte. The flavor was very good, but it was served on the cool side. It was completely cold before I finished, and I ended up tossing the last portion. They only serve drinks in paper cups, not ceramic mugs. Although mugs were visible, I was told the health department does not allow them to use them. For me, coffee in a real mug always feels better than paper. Service I have mixed feelings about the service. The person taking my order seemed a bit on edge. When I asked about the mug situation, she appeared annoyed that I would even ask. Since it was my first visit, I asked about the most popular donut, and that also seemed to irritate her. I rephrased and asked for her personal favorite instead, which she answered more willingly. I noticed a few other staff interactions, and the overall tone of the crew felt tense. Not sure if that’s typical or if it was just a busy morning. Atmosphere I took a small table inside to finish my coffee and donut. There are several small tables, best suited for two people. Toward the back of the dining area there were boxes and pallets visible. This isn’t necessarily a place you visit for ambiance. Most people grabbed a box of donuts and left. Only a handful were dining inside. If you want a good donut with creative flavors, this place delivers. Just don’t expect a relaxed coffee shop experience with welcoming, friendly staff.
Great shop with amazing, creative donuts! Key Lime Pie Donut is excellent
4 stars just because of price... I realize everything in the Keys is expensive, but almost $5 a donut was a little steep for me, even as a guy who's favorite sweet is donuts. We were on vacation so we had to sample a half dozen, and the flavors, taste and size were 5 star. The key lime was delicious and I loved the seasonal pumpkin spice. As well as a bakery it's also a very cute coffee shop with a decent amount of inside seating. It's just a block between Truman's Annex and Duval street, so a great location for anyone staying at that end of the island. As the only shop I could find doing traditional donuts, and given how tasty they were, I'd justify the price again if I ever make it back to the keys.
Yes! I really appreciate great donuts. These were exceptional. Had the jelly of the week (guava) and a buttermilk glazed. I want to try them all!! In an atmosphere where heat and humidity are constantly changing, I appreciate the craft of working with dough to bring some happiness to people each day. These guys are brilliant. 100% would go back.
Great Donut and Coffee experience. Decor is like retro donut shop. Some seating but not enough for large crowd. Donuts are a tad pricey but worth it. Made fresh every day unlike chain stores who have them shipped in. They do not offer "by the dozen" pricing just individual. I would suggest going each morning and getting a fresh donut and coffee.
