Customer Reviews

We visited Main Street Doughnuts and tried the Boston Creme, Jelly, and Churro doughnuts. The Boston Creme was our favorite, with balanced flavors and a fresh texture. The doughnuts seem to focus more on the fillings than the dough itself, which worked well for the Boston Creme. Overall, a good experience.

Absolutely amazing donuts!!!! I have Celiac so gluten free along with cross contamination is huge for me. They prepare the gluten free donuts separate from the other donuts. And so many donuts can be made gluten free! I got the gluten free churro, french toast, and triple chocolate and my friend got the black and white cookie donut!!! Sooooo good, friendly staff, adorable shop!!! Will definitely be back!

I go to Main Street Donuts every once in a while to pick up donuts when I?m out marketing for work. They are always loved by everyone I bring them to and Joe is super nice. I wish I lived closer so I could go more often for myself because they are delicious!

Excellent place! The owner makes the donuts right in front of you! So many creative designs and flavors. And they are delicious!! A hidden gem. She could make you a very unique dessert for a party or event. No seating on inside; this is a to-go or pickup place.

I placed an order for 50 donuts for our last minute party, and they were amazing! I actually always went to a local donut shop who is known for their specialty donuts but for me this place is worth the 35 min drive! The donuts were executed perfectly and on time. Everyone was raving about them at the party, especially the raspberry filled, maple glaze and eclairs! I am a lifelong customer now!

So I visited the Belmar location on Sunday 3/19.. the two girls there first off were amazing!! The young lady making my donuts was very helpful with answering all my questions about the products.. her 2 recommendations were the best one?s in the box!! If I could give more then 5 stars I would.. even a day later the donuts are fresh and delicious.. I recommend you go try them you won?t be disappointed!!

Great donuts... Perfect for a cup of black coffee. The lady was super friendly and accommodating. All the donuts are made to order. There is no dining space.

I ordered the Peanut Butter Explosion and Cr?me Br?l?e donuts and they were both absolutely delicious!! I will 100% come here again when I?m in the area. I was very satisfied with the customer service, and the pricing was reasonable. Thank you Main Street Donuts!

Staff is so nice and friendly here. The donuts are so unique and delicious not to mention reasonably priced. They even have "seasonal" flavors so as a local it's worth dropping in regularly to try what's new.

Amazingly friendly staff! Great donuts and coffee. I was looking to support a local small business. I'm glad I did and will be a repeat customer.

Artisanal donuts ?? that are appealing to the eye and the tummy! They offer a lot of elaborate varieties with many toppings, glazes and fillings as well as the traditional donuts. The owner was working in the store when I was there which was great...I love when someone loves their business instead of just owns it. So much to try!

A truly magical experience this morning. I ordered a dozen donuts and was treated like royalty. The staff was super attentive??and were like artists painting a masterpiece as they made the donuts. The donuts?..they were insane. Absolutely the best donuts I have ever tried. You owe it to yourself to go there and indulge in their magical creations.

Took my little brother here, lady was absolutely amazing, had a good conversation with her, donuts tasted great, a very creative menu. Would definitely go again

We ordered a tray mini St. Patrick's Day donuts last minute and Main Street Donuts accommodated us and had let ready!!! They were a huge hit at the office!! Thank you soooooo much!!??????

If you want to run in and pick up a quick dozen of factory produced garbage there's a D.D. around the corner. If you want unique handcrafted delicious chunks of diabetes, this is your spot!!

I have Celiac Disease so I cannot have Gluten and there are gluten free donuts here! They are delicious, the only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because my last order I got "Glutened" Either the donut was not gluten free or from cross contamination. I will go back eventually. For now I am sticking with Broad Street Dough Co in Wall, The best Donuts ever and they have their own "Vlugen" donuts which are vegan and gluten free, Ive been there a million times and never once have I gotten sick there. Main s

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the donuts. The batter was light and flavorful, not greasy at all!! The stuffed donuts were different and just as delicious! I definitely would recommend to try!

So easy to order as everything is clearly marked as gf and safe for celiac disease - I asked to confirm. They have their gluten free donuts in a separate section and I was able to watch as they made them. We even enjoyed our cappuccinos!

Such a wonderful shop for a nice treat! I came in to pick up some birthday donuts and had a wonderful time talking with the very friendly owner. All of the donuts were baked fresh, and tasted amazing.

Lol I could not eat these gluten and vegan donuts fast enough. I got the brooklyn blackout, the french toast, the somoa, plain, and chocolate powdered. The somoa was slamming easily the best one of them all. All the donuts were very good super fresh and made of high quality ingredients. The employees were very friendly and welcoming as well as informative. This micro donut bakery is pumping out big flavors ! Can't wait to go back !

A wonderful little donut shop that we stopped in on our way down the coast. The donuts are inspired and delicious, and the people running the shop are friendly and clearly community-minded. This spot is a gem!

I had my son's 8th birthday party here, and I can't say enough wonderful things about our whole experience. Julie went above and beyond to ensure that the day was as special as possible for him, from decorating in his favorite colors, playing his favorite music, and really just getting into the whole party with the kids so that everyone had a great time. There were a couple little extras that she threw in to really just show him how special he was on his birthday! The whole process was so easy and relaxed a

Love both this and the Matawan location. Other donuts pale in comparison. Just go and see for yourself

Great donuts! I swing through here every time I?m in town. On the last trip I was shocked to overhear three other customers discuss how they were able to avoid any charges for beating their wives. They were all Belmar police officers, and when I asked them why they felt compelled to beat their wives they said it was because of smol eggplant energy.

Was just here for the first time today, the donuts were delicious! A friend recommended them to me and I?m glad I stopped by. The service was even better, the girl with the braid was extremely helpful and sweet! Glad to know there are still nice people in the service industry today. She helped me with my decisions and was very quick with making the donuts. Very kind girl, will be back again!

Delicious donuts. Friendly and inviting staff. A must try if your in Belmar.

Their donuts are fresh, creative, and delicious. The staff here is friendly and always up to give out recommendations for their favourites too. Do yourself a favour and stop here for your donuts!

Donuts are excellent! We go to Belmar just to get them! Vegan options are available.

Donuts were so tasty and the staff was so kind! Highly recommend the fruity pebbles and margarita donuts!

This place is a great find. Very creative donuts here. Also make an awesome donut hole display tray. Really tasty!!!

These donuts are fantastic! Not only are they incredibly tasty, but they are absolutely beautiful! the perfect gift to bring to any party or when visiting family/friends. The gluten free donuts are just as delicious as the regular donuts! Moreover, Joe is so thoughtful about ensuring they are safe for those with celiac. The shop is lovely and food this good is a rare find out by the beach.

Such a friendly owner! Cute shop with a wide range of donuts. Lots of fun options plus you can make custom ones. Can't stress how friendly the owner is and how pleasant the experience was. My girlfriend LOVES donuts, I am fine with donuts. I really really liked these donuts. I've probably only said this once or twice in my life. The one with bacon on it is amazing.

Ordered online this morning for my doctors office that I go to, when I went in with my son I had to get some for my other kids Joe made them right in front of us and they were absolutely amazing! I have never had a better donut, the Samoa was awesome!! The donuts were fresh, not greasy, the flavors are intense and subtle at the same time! Joe was so kind and welcoming and the shop is adorable

Woke up this morning craving a cinnamon roll and looked up where to get one online and came across this awesome donut shop! I ordered a half dozen donuts (including the cinnamon roll one!) and an iced coffee that comes with their yummy coffee ice cubes. I came in and the owner was working on my donuts and so friendly! The coffee was delicious and I had a few of my donuts when I got home (cinnamon roll, peaches n cream, and the fruity pebbles) and all of them were so fresh and delicious. I'm pregnant and my

Happy to find this place?they can make most donuts on their menu GF! Memorable and creative donuts for our vacation. Thank you!

Great service! Great donuts and coffee! Most importantly, civic-minded - thanks for hosting a fundraiser for Neptune High School Student Council!!

Customer service is great! When I went in they said they make all their donuts fresh, I was super excited for this but what they meant was we have all the donuts pre fried then dress it with the toppings you like to order. Non the less they tasted pretty fresh but I wasn't crazy about the texture. They are cake donuts which are more dense than ur classic light airy fluffy donut. And I wish the cream fillings and jellies were made frssh

The owner Joe was so sweet and friendly and you can really tell he makes all of his donuts with love and care!! Donuts are iced and topped fresh on the spot, and daily specials are creative and exciting. Joe was happy to make custom donuts for us as well. The donuts were perfectly moist and chewy and the toppings added just the right amount of sweetness. Can?t wait to go back very soon!!

I placed an order for 4 dozen donuts for pick up. Joe was absolutely wonderful and the donuts were amazing. My coworkers have been raving about the donuts all day! The donuts were full of flavor and were the best donuts I have personally had. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some tasty donuts!

This place is amazing! The ultimate donut experience. Any type of donut you want, they can make and the varieties they offer daily are so creative and delicious. As my daughter says, "they melt in your mouth." I personally recommend Peanut Butter Explosion and French Toast. Wow! It's all I can say. I must go....road trip!

Joe & the team at Main St Donuts are wonderful!! They're super friendly, every donut is totally customized to your preferences and prices are very reasonable. I'm gluten free and as you can imagine, it's difficult to enjoy the treats I once did. Their gluten free donuts are soooo good, my personal favorite is a vanilla with french toast topping :) My husband is so addicted, we can't near Belmar without him asking if the donut shop is open!

This place is AWESOME....Donuts are fresh, delicious and creative. The staff is friendly and fun. I picked out a dozen different donuts from their menu (it was very hard not to pick every donut on the menu) and they were all prepared in front of me...It was fun to watch and you know the donuts are fresh. They even give you the opportunity to create your own donut flavor. I can't wait to go back to try the ones I did not order.

First time stopping in today. It did not disappoint! Every donut decorated and put together when you order. Each donut is so fresh it?s amazing. Best donuts I?ve ever had! Definitely coming back for more!

Fantastically cute shop with extraordinarily nice owner. I wanted to give 5 stars but a couple of things prevented that. First the donuts, as clever as they are, don't actually taste good unfortunately. They were on the dry side. Second, they were outrageously over-priced. Had I known the dozen donuts I ordered was going to be over $40?! I definitely would have changed my order. I was not made aware of the change in pricing until he rang me up, despite alerting him to the fact I was using a voucher upon

Greeted at the front of the store by a very friendly man who handed us a little clipboard with all of his donuts. Filled out the little form with what we wanted, handed it to the folks behind the glass, and they made us a nice fresh batch of specialty donuts. Excellent & flavorful with friendly service. I will definitely be back.

The donuts are great! My daughter said the s'mores donut was the best donut she ever had! I ordered creative Easter themed donuts this year, they were a hit. The owners are so nice and professional. I highly recommend!

Tasty unique donuts, made fresh. These are not your mass produced chain store donuts. You can watch them put your donut together when you order. I had the 'Boss'ton Cream. It was delicious. Wife had a special of the day with Nutella on a chocolate donut. Coffee was good too. Owner was super friendly. We sat and ate outside. As we sat down, another couple sitting nearby told us how much they loved their donuts. Highly recommended!

I am so sad about how we were treated at this place. My kids were so excited to walk up here and get a donut and we were just immediately a problem in their building. Their was one lady who was so rude to us the second we walked in. We ordered coffee and practically ruined their day that we wanted coffee. I?ve never been treated poorly here in Avon but this shop disappointed me. Just a little reminder, try to treat everyone with a little more kindness! (:

Best donut I?ve ever had! Hands down! (I got the lemon Girl Scout cookie donut which was one of the daily specials. I don?t remember the exact name of the donut, but the lemon glaze was AMAZING!!!) What I loved about it was that it tasted so fresh and not ridiculously sweet. So tasty.

Amazing experience! I have celiacs and have been trying to find a place that has gluten free options that are free of cross contamination and I finally found this place! The donuts were amazing and I can happily say that it?s the first time I haven?t gotten sick after getting something out of restaurant or bakery! Staff was so friendly and very accommodating.

Main Street Donuts is amazing! I wanted to send a gift to friends that live near by and have a gluten allergy. The owner joe was so helpful and made sure everything was perfect for the delivery. His dedication was so appreciated.

Best donuts ever!!!! My daughter and I ordered a dozen of gluten free donuts and my goodness, they are the most delicious bite of heaven. Beautiful too! Can?t wait to go back for more! Yum!!!!

I'm in Belmawr this week for vacation and think I found my breakfast spot! As someone who has consumed a lot of donuts (some would say too many) I can confidently say that these donuts were my top three, if not the best I've ever had. The iced coffee was served with frozen coffee cubes, which is ingenious as well as delicious. If you're in the area, definitely stop by for a gourmet donut treat!!

It?s very hard to find a donut place that will do donuts that are both vegan and gluten free, but Main Street Donuts delivers, and they?re delicious as well! Combine that with extremely helpful and friendly staff who resolved some confusion around boxes on the spot with no extra charge and I can?t recommend them enough. Delicious donuts, and an asset to Belmar.

I have to say I tried this place because of all the great reviews. I was expected fresh, warm donuts out of the fryer. They were decorated to order but they certainly were not fresh. They tasted old and almost gummy. We couldn't even eat them. Maybe they are better during peak season. It was rather slow when we went. On a positive, they were decorated nicely and the flavors were unique. Everything was clean and staff was friendly.

The best place for doughnuts - and always served with a smile! The owner Joe cares so much and it reflects in the quality of his absolutely delicious donuts. Absolutely our favorite place to go!

My daughter, who is sensitive to gluten products, was craving donuts. We gave Main Street Donuts a try and came away very impressed with the taste of the donuts and the customer service provided. We can?t wait to go back again!

Joe and Paula are awesome people and make amazing donuts! We have come for birthday donuts and donuts just because and we are NEVER disappointed. Definitely take a trip, it is so worth it, and I guarantee you'll be back. Thanks for everything!

Open early when no one else is. GREAT COFFER!! They also make very very good donuts. Interesting flavors. All sound delicious. We'll have to go back to try more flavors.

Amazing gourmet artisan homemade donuts. That are just perfect.! Not greasy or too sweet. Made perfectly. And the prices are extremely reasonable. If your looking for the best go check them out.

Stopped in, on the recommendation of a friend. I kind of felt lost, theres no menu. They have me samples, & I bought the ones I liked. They take a donut, say chocolate. They cut it in 1/2, and put filling in it. I got salted caramel. Then they add drizzle. It becomes a small donut cake! I couldn't eat the whole thing, but it was yummy! The owners are very helpful once you ask, "so, how does this work?" Lol!!

It was great! We just went there me and my boyfriend (we were the trans kids) we love the unity/pride flag and we also love the autism awareness paper! And oh my god the donuts were SO GOOD! ?? ????????????

Joe (the owner) is a wonderful person and his love for making delicious doughnuts radiates through all his creations. My family has tried many of Joe's specialty doughnuts and every single one has been a perfect balance of flavor and presentation. Maybe even more importantly, the doughnut-to-icing ratio is always spot-on!

This place is great! The owner is always very kind and patient and makes you feel like a valued customer. And the donuts are some of the best in the area. Highly recommended!

I stopped in 10 minutes before closing on my way to a party on Saturday and walked out with a dozen beautifully made, custom decorated donuts that were a huge hit with the guests! The owners and staff are so nice and friendly too! I?ll be patronizing Main Street Donuts a lot!!!

If you need a treat for that sweet tooth then this is the place from you. Great selection, friendly staff, nice atmosphere...

Main Street donuts did an amazing job creating a 40th birthday donut cake. The cake looked beautiful and the donuts were delicious! A great local donut shop with friendly staff and delicious donuts!

They are amazing cake donuts, bunch of flavors or make your own donut! They make them in front of you at the counter and carry Tazo tea which is a win for me! Owners are also friendly!

BEST. DONUT. EVER. They were soft, fluffy and covered in warm glaze. Customer service was super friendly and they explained each donut special on display. I will definitely be back!!!

Super donuts! If you are in Belmar you have to come here!

Awesome donuts made right in front of us by the sweetest lady! Helpful suggestions, amazing flavors, tasted great even the next day!

The owner was fantastic. I received a gift certificate from a client and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Definitely a fresh twist on doughnuts.

I am but a stranger in strange land. I moseyed in off the street in the middle of december. Cold day No line. In the middle of all of the fancy-schmancy offerings...I asked for and was given a plain doughnut with vanilla icing. The lady at the counter was glad to do it. I sat in a bench and took a bite. My sox are still going up and down. I credible!

Friendly staff and AWESOME donuts! Very generous with jelly and it did not disappoint. Will definitely return!

Solid donuts. Not "made" to order, more like prepared to order. Wish the donut was a bit more warm but still pretty delicious. Would be 5 stars otherwise.

Very friendly and they will make any kind of donut you could think of

Best donut place in NJ!!!! Such a great variety and delicious!!!! Wonderful customer service. Will absolutely be back to try the donut cake!!!!!

Not only are there donuts great, the people are so sweet and friendly. I recommend giving them business this is what a mom and pop shop should be like.

Best Donuts EVER!!!! Seriously... They are amazing!! Fresh and tasty!! Nom nom nom!! Staff is awesome as well!

I'm always met with a big smile from behind the counter which mirrors mine when I bite into one their daily offerings. Great, friendly service to match their great and tasty donuts.
