Customer Reviews

The Cinnamon Bun is soooo amazing! I have no idea how they do it!! Soft, doughy bread in the middle but crispy like a donut on the outside... & it's about the size of your face. Bring a friend to share it with... & coffee, lots of coffee! Otherwise, you might need a bigger boat... you know, to bring it home.

The breakfast sandwich was the star today. I had an Asiago bagel with egg and cheese? simple but super delicious. My husband had the heartstopper and loved it! We got half a dozen donuts and I tried a few unique flavors such as the strawberry lemonade and creamsicle. They tasted exactly like those flavors but it was too sweet for me. The French toast donut was dry so that was a bummer. The Boston cream donut was killer though! I think I?ll stick to the basics next time but great spot overall.

Ordered coffee, chocolate glazed donuts, & breakfast sandwich. Coffee & donut....amazing. Breakfast sandwich....PATHETIC! It COST DOUBLE of most breakfast sandwiches and didn't taste any better than my local fast food sandwich of the same type. Was really upset I paid so much for MEH!

Best donuts ever. Bought a dozen mixed. 2 chocolate iced, 2 original glazed, 2 cinnamon, 2 salted caramel, 2 maple glazed, and 2 chocolate with sprinkles. They were super soft and delicious.

Great location, perfectly situated near to the pier and not too far from the beach if you choose to take it to go, we, however, decided to eat in. The glazed donut was classic and delicious, and the bacon, egg, & cheddar cheese croissant was well portioned and tasted great! Highly recommend, and would totally visit again if I?m traveling through the area in the future.

Island Donuts is a must-visit spot if you're in the St. Augustine Beach area. The atmosphere is laid-back and beachy, which perfectly fits the location. There's a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating, so it's easy to relax and enjoy your treat. The variety of donuts is impressive?everything from classic glazed to creative flavors like cookies and cream and key lime. They also serve pretty solid coffee to go with your donut. While I didn?t try one, they offer breakfast sandwiches as well, which looked

These are REAL donuts! The best place for delicious donuts! St. Augustine has many chain donut stores, and they suck. When Island Donuts opened, it was heaven sent! They have a wonderful mix of classic and unique donuts. The vanilla cream donut is literally to die for. Also, the line can get long on the weekends, but it moves very quickly and many options are always available.

Holy Cow on the selection options! What I loved most is even when waiting to pick what we wanted I didn't feel rushed or "nervous" that they were going to run out of anything, as we waited they constantly were bringing out donuts to refill the options they offer which are too many to mention in this post. GO HERE! Doesn't matter if you are 4 years old or 40 years old. We all love donuts and these are some of the best around.

The donut was very good and the pineapple fritter was EXCELLENT!!! The bagels were very tasty. The only thing that we wish was that they buttered the bagels for you versus providing butter in a cup that was hard/cold. It made it hard to spread on the toasted bagel and be hot and buttery like I was craving. Overall great for donuts for sure!

Sometimes you are just craving donuts ?? Today was one of those days (these days happen way too often) made the trip from downtown St. Augustine to over to Island Donuts to satisfy that craving. They were featuring their Mardi Gras donut which is scrumptious and my standard go to is always the Orange Creamsicle. Do yourself a favor and stop in at Island Donuts for that special treat soon

If you order something other than donuts, prepare for a wait, but it will be worth it. The doughnuts themselves are amazing, but the bagels are extraordinary. Food is delicious and customer service is awesome! The shop is very small and usually pretty crowded, but the staff stays friendly and eager to please!

We made a quick stop on our way to the beach today. The donuts were honestly my favorite from a local shop. The yeast donut specifically has such good flavor and we?re not too sweet! We also got some iced coffees that were very good and self served. They actually had OatMilk which is my wife?s favorite, I didn?t see stevia but they have raw sugar instead. Definitely coming back earlier in the day next time to have a better selection of donuts.

I love the donuts at this place, I wouldn?t get the breakfast sandwich again as the Asiago bagel was very mid and the coffee was average. But, I did go for the donuts and they were excellent. I loved the Guava filled one and the Coconut Fritter. The staff were really nice and super efficient.

What a cute Donut place! It was crazy busy but they are super efficient. Huge selection to choose from. I got a donut and a sandwich. Both were excellent. Ma Dukes got an Island fritter which was also delicious.

Being from out of town, I knew I was in for a treat when I saw alot of local plates in the parking lot. I had an island fritter with coconut and was not disappointed. Lots of choices and not very expensive. If you like a good donut, you can't go wrong with this place.

Best donuts ever. It really is that simple. I have had donuts from many places - including Europe. These are simply the best. Can?t review Atmosphere as I haven?t eaten there, and occasionally the donuts will make it home before I eat them.

Great breakfast sandwich and donut. Breakfast sandwich was delicious, egg, bacon and provolone cheese on an asiago bagel. I also ordered an old fashioned donut which far exceeded my expectations. It was not greasy, not too sweet or dry, truly perfect. I highly recommend stopping here for breakfast, great place!

YES YES a million times YES! This little shop is so freaking cute and right on the beach! We stopped in and grabbed a half dozen and enjoyed them with the sunrise. These little babies were the BEST donuts I?ve ever had in my 33 years on this earth ??. They were fresh, fluffy, perfectly sweet and had a ton of frosting.. I will have dreams about these donuts. We tried white sprinkle, chocolate sprinkle, chocolate iced, maple iced, chocolate strawberry, and raspberry jelly. All raised donuts, and all equally a

So many delicious donuts. From classic staple flavors to fun new donuts. We loved our first time.

Stopping at Island Donuts was the best part of our st augustine trip. The old fashioned donut was great, the pecan coffee was to die for, and they actually have GOOD bagels, unlike most of florida. I would return here just for this place and it's a 6 hour drive.

Kids love the donuts but I am definitely here for the bagels! Sooo good! I loved the everything bagel and would have liked the rosemary salt one more but it?s REALLY salty, as if the bagels were soaked in sea water first. It was still good, but yikes. No matter?We?ve gone every day of the week anyway. ??

This is my second time here and it did not disappoint! The employees were very friendly. One gentleman and I were nerding out by talking about Star Wars. My kids loved the donuts. I was sad that they didn?t have the maple bacon donut. Apparently it?s on my available on the weekends. But that Key Lime Pie donut was banging.

This place had so many fun flavors and the donuts we got were absolutely amazing! The staff was super friendly and the overall place is super cute and has a great atmosphere! I recommend everyone stop here for donuts. We visited on a Monday morning around 10 and they still had a ton of donuts left! Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing as well

This was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had. We ordered a BEC on a croissant and a BEC on an everything bagel. We also ordered a blueberry donut and a chocolate iced donut. I am still thinking about the breakfast sandwich 3 days later

This place is AMAZING! Very nice and clean inside. So many donuts to choose from. They all looked delicious but I chose the apple fritter with coconut toppings. Wife chose Boston creme and kids chose chocolate strawberry glazed. I also had a coffee, bacon egg and cheese on a croissant which was so freaking delicious! My wife had an egg and cheese on a bagel. Everything was very soft and fresh!

Clean cute little place with nice seating on the porch and pup friendly. The breakfast sandwich was delicious , bagels were so fresh soft and tasty, the donuts were so fresh and amazing! We were so glad we stopped here!

First, I love Island Donuts? Old Fashioned Donut, no one else makes em like they do. I live in St Pete FL and visit St Augustine annually. Island Donuts has always been a highlight of my visit to the city, and I usually order a dozen to take back home. I am bummed and let down with my latest special order. Frosting and sprinkles are lacking. (See attached photos- On the left Jan 2023, on left Jan 2024). It?s also frustrating that special orders require pre-payment + tip option, before you see the product.

We were staying nearby & needed a nice quick breakfast place. Island Donuts turned out to be just what we needed. The staff was very helpful & quick to respond. The chocolate with sprinkles was good, but basic. The cinnamon roll was huge & awesome!! The Key Lime filled was amazing & the curd was nice and tart. My wife liked the caramel glazed, but thought the salt was a bit heavy-handed. The Snickers donut was great as well!

Really great bagels and donuts!! Great service as well. Definitely check out if you?re in St Augustine!

Donuts are made of heavy batter and the glazing was sticky and wet.. it?s not Krispy Kreme.

Went to this little donut shop today (Friday, April 4th) at 12:56pm - 4 minutes before closing (I almost didn?t go because I always feel bad coming in so close to when a shop is done for the day). Nearly every time I have walked into any store right before they close, you get that annoyed look from the employees. That did not happen here - I?ve never been treated so well by employees getting ready to close up! (There were 2 people before me & 2 people right after me that were also treated well). They didn?t

Found Island Donuts in Feb 2023 and just had to make our way back again this year while we are in Florida for our annual Daytona 500 trip from Oregon. The pineapple fritters are the best I?ve found outside of Hawai?i and are an absolute must try?.. but get here early, they open at 6am and close when sold out, and that can be before 10am as it is a popular spot! We see why, and will make our way here several times during our 10 day trips.

These donuts are great, coffee delish, and the sandwiches were yummy. You must try the island pineapple fritter. Will come here again great place!

Visited st Augustine for the 4th of July and was in the mood for some donuts in the morning. After a quick google search I came across Island Donuts and honestly one of the best donuts I have had. Customer service was great and the staff were very friendly. 100% going again next time I stay there again.

Great local donut shop. They get busy so get here early if you want to get your favorites. Also, parking can be a little tight if you have a larger vehicle. Parking is located in front and on 16th St. Be careful of parking in the grass lot across from Sunset Grill.

These donuts are the best I?ve had in my life and very affordable! Plenty of parking. Right off the beach so grab you some donuts and take them down to the Saint Augustine beach with you. Highly recommend!

So many choices!! I had the 'old fashion donut'. It was great!! Then a walk on the pier with my morning coffee ??. The best!!

The location is perfect close the road but super close to the Pier/Beach! The price is exactly what I expected which is good! Super clean, great choice and unique choice of donuts to top! And their cinnamon rolls are HUGE!

You cannot go wrong here. If something sounds good, get it. This is THE spot for donuts on the island and their breakfast sandwiches are also amazing. We always get the sandwiches and donuts and have never been disappointed. Theirs always something different on the menu and it's always good. For example the tropical smoothie donut exceeded expectations with its strawberry and vanilla yogurt flavoring atop one of Island donuts best. So good.

It was amazing we got the lemon filled white frosting and sprinkles and then a salted caramel donut oh my lord it?s was so good

This location is super cute and everyone was so friendly. The donuts was to die for, maple bacon is a sure favorite of mine and it was delicious. The breakfast bagel was just as amazing - I?m so glad we have one in Jacksonville as well will be visiting that location soon for my fix.

Stop by for coffee, but I was impressed by the selection of donuts. Had one at the store with coffee and took 6 home for the family. The place is clean, donuts are fresh and delicious. A must visit when in the area.

Wonderful little place! I tried the maple bacon and churro donuts. Very busy this Saturday morning. Their menu also includes breakfast sandwiches if donuts aren't your thing.

Great location clean service pretty good donuts pretty good definitely would go back great variety prices were ok full review on my YouTube channel (Food on the Couch Wit G.O)

Many places have distinct aromas?diners, BBQ joints, smoke shops, Mexican restaurants, coffee shops, and fresh donut spots. Friendly staff and chefs prepared my bagel with fresh scallion cream cheese, just as I ordered or grab and go before dawn and walk to the beach for the sunrise.

Now I understand why there is a line! Fast,friendly service and that enormous cinnamon roll, outstanding. Donuts were delicious as was the piping hot coffee. Did I mention that cinnamon roll???

Simple menu. Fresh and tasty donuts. We also had avocado toast with egg. Egg is over easy. Quick service. Space is limited for seating.

Nice variety of donuts including my favorite, key lime. Orange Creamsicle is a unique flavor that I haven't seen before. Great service. Will definitely return. If you found this post helpful, please like and follow.

I loved everything we got here. I will definitely have to stop in next time I'm in St. Augustine

This was a wonderful surprise. The service and atmosphere were great. The doughtnuts were yummy as well.

Island Donuts is a great breakfast spot serving delicious, unique donuts and breakfast sandwiches. This was our last stop as we left St. Augustine. After tasting the donuts, we instantly regretted not visiting Island Donuts prior to leaving. Be sure to get the pineapple fritter topped with coconut (large enough to share). There were so many donut and breakfast sandwich choices. The Boston Cream is probably the best Boston Cream donut I've had the honor to eat. It may sound silly, but these donuts made me so

The glazed donut was phenomenal. Parking was a little iffy, but definitely worth it! If I were to visit St. Augustine I'd definitely would have to come back!

Oh my goodness, these donuts are DELICIOUS. My favorite was the Key Lime! Every flavor I tried was fantastic, though. I loved the pineapple fritter with toasted coconut. The staff were SO NICE! We really enjoyed chatting with them. 10/10 experience. I will definitely be stopping by the next time I'm in St Augustine.

My wife and I make sure to hit up local donut places when we travel and Island Donuts ranks up there with some of the best cake donuts we?ve had. Lots of fun flavor options. Great breakfast sandwich, too!

I never had a donut as good as these! I went every morning! I would highly recommend! The coffee and breakfast sandwich?s were also amazing! You truly cannot go wrong here! I wish I had them in NY.

This place is awesome! The staff is very polite and accommodating. Best donuts and bagels in town!

Loved the homemade smell of donuts last night. We woke up excited to go try them. They are to die for. The island coconut fritter was perfect.

An absolute delight for a beach vacation! We stayed in an Airbnb on the beach that was about 3 minutes down the road and it was the nicest little stroll on a sunny day. The donuts were so good, and they have breakfast sandwiches with milk and OJ to take togo! They have tons of donut options and the staff was so friendly. This place sits right by the beach and it was delicious! It's a can't miss stop on any beach trip because I promise nothing is better than donuts and mimosas by the beach????

Good selection of donuts even by noon! And can make breakfast sandwiches even for lunch. Staff was nice and cheerful. We'll be back!

Delicious donuts! We also tried the avocado toast and it was very good as well.

What's better than delicious donuts and a super friendly staff? The flavors are creative and fun, but they also do a great job with the standard favorites.... Glazed, chocolate glazed, sprinkles, coconut...

Yummy donuts ?? a lot of choices too! Close to my hotel and steps away from the beach

Some of the best doughnuts I?ve ever had. They even have breakfast sandwiches. The service was fast and the staff was courteous. The place was very clean. Definitely recommended for any doughnut lover.

Fast service. Good doughnuts - tasty, I recommend the salted Carmel. If you get a bagel sandwich eat it quickly - they serve them hot and if you keep them wrapped up they can get soggy from the steam. The coffee is out of crafts on the counter, not made to order.

The donuts were overall ok, I got the froot loops donut and the cereal was stale. Everything was clean and fast service, but I?d probably prefer the taste of Dunkin Donuts.

Best donuts and breakfast sandwiches in Saint Augustine beach!

Friendly service and reasonable prices. Donuts are soft and fluffy and taste fresh. The only negative are the maple bacon donuts. The bacon did not seem like it was cooked enough. But overall, it is a great place for donuts, bagels, and simple breakfast sandwiches.

The young woman who greeted me and filled out order was so nice. She even went in the back to check on a donut for me. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant was honestly big enough for two, especially if you are eating donuts. And trust me, you want to eat these donuts! Our favorite was the Key lime. We will visit again before we leave St. Augustine.

Donuts were good! We got a variety of flavors. Definitely better if you go in the morning.

Excellent breakfast sandwiches and the best salted caramel donut EVER!!! Went here multiple times during our vacation!!!

Great friendly service. Delicious donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Highly recommended place to stop at for breakfast or a snack if you are in town. Schweet donuts ????

The staff and atmosphere at Island Donuts was friendly and inviting. However, they offer no soda fountain, no iced tea, and the pineapple fritter was an obvious tourist trap donut. The donut was stale, all dough, and lacking flavor.

My mom was here this morning and got me a s'mores donut. Now I am obsessed with the s'mores donut. S'mores donut is love, S'mores donut is life. Live laugh and love s'mores donut

Huge variety! It would take a couple weeks of going here everyday to try all the different flavors!

The best glazed donuts evvvvver!!! The Boston cream pie donut is amazing too. This place is truly the best, so fresh and delicious! A must-do if you're visiting St. Augustine.

OMG! WOW! What can I say about this place. Here you?ll find the absolutely best donuts in the planet. Okay, maybe that?s a little too much, but the donuts here will not disappoint. I highly recommend you stop by here and grab a donut or two? the glazed donuts are the best IMHO.

We have been going to island donut not long after their opening. The Bagels and donuts are always fresh and delicious and the service is very friendly! There?s no where else close by that have better bagels!

Best doughnut stop in Saint Augustine. The breakfast sandwiches there are simple but very delicious. This is a regular stop for us before heading to the beach. Highly recommend.

Coffee is free refills all day which is great since we were staying just across the street. The donuts have a great presentation when you walk in. However, my apple fritter had no apple, and my boston had no cream. A lesson in you shouldn't be eating donuts anyway.

If you want sub-par doughnuts, rubber bagels, all served by a poorly trained staff? This is definitely the place for you.

Island Donuts offers a delightful selection of fresh, flavorful donuts. The variety is impressive, from classic glazed to unique options. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a great spot to enjoy a treat. Highly recommended!

Good donuts and it's great they have a healthy option of avocado toast. Oat Milk is available for you coffee as well

Located directly across the street from the Hilton Garden Inn, where we were staying. Picked up a half dozen donuts this morning. although I am not a donut connoisseur I think these were the best donuts I?ve ever had. so fresh and tasty but a bit gooey / sticky priced accordingly. Friendly employees.

This is the quentessential beach-side donut shop, on Saint Augustine Beach, FL. We've been going to St. A for over 30 years, renting condos at first, and now proud owners of a condo at Crescent Beach, so Island Donuts is a frequent (ie, every time we're down there) stop. Decadent, creative, ever changing donuts. My wife and I always bring 2-3 dozen women to the kids/grands, and they don't last long! For us, it's a tradition as well as a treat. Friendly? How can a person selling donuts be grumpy? This is

The best place on the island for donuts. A lot of flavors, all of which are tasty.

Best bagels and donuts we have had in a very long time! A must if you are in the area!!

Some of the best I have had. Staff was nice. $22 for a dozen. Consider liking my review and pictures and follow along on all my adventures. It?s All About the Adventures!??

Love this place! Not only are the donuts (and breakfast sandwiches) DELICIOUS, everyone in there is super friendly! Go early, they sell out of the good stuff fast :)
