Customer Reviews

The reviews speak for themselves: these were hands down the best donuts I?ve ever had and they make them fresh on the spot for you. The girl was so so sweet and the flavors to pick from are glorious. This is going to be my new favorite spot!!

I'm SO stunned at how delicious these donuts are. The owner is so nice too! If our trip from Colorado was just for these donuts, it would be worth it. We already decided that we have to come back for more before we go home. Make sure not to miss this spot!

OMG! These donuts are awesome. This is such a hidden gem. They have it all, great tiny donuts with interesting flavors, fresh roasted coffee, a peaceful view of the river, and of course really friendly staff. You really have to stop and get some when you come through.

Absolutely solid experience! The donuts were incredibly delicious. If you are familiar with Pips in Portland, they are like Pips for the Oregon Coast!. The folks running the place are genuinely friendly. If you're passing through, make sure to stop ? it's a definite highlight!

We came in April 2023. The coffee was super good! Bursting with flavor! And the donuts were really warm, fluffy, and just plain awesome. I loved the mini size. They were perfect!

So delish! The brown butter maple donut was divine, and the cinnamon sugar brought back happy childhood memories of cider donuts in fall while pumpkin picking. Highly recommend the cold brew, too. Can?t wait until next weekend for my fix!

This place is a must stop along the northern Oregon coast! Their donuts are honestly the best we have ever had. I didn't know what to expect, I mean I'm getting close to 40 and thought I had pretty much experienced all that a donut could offer... Turns out I was wrong... way wrong. These little guys hit your taste buds harder than a right hook from Mike Tyson. They are absolutely divine! Their coffee was fresh and had excellent flavor as well. Couple the good food with an idyllic location tucked along the N

Solid Coffee. Great mini donuts. Amazing owners. Just had their donuts for the first time today and they are great. Nutella, cinnamon sugar, local honey, and some other unique seasonal toppings. Always made fresh. This will be my go to stop when at the Oregon coast!

So good! These little gems let you taste a wider variety of flavors instead of having to commit to just one big doughnut! I loved all of them but my fave was the local honey and sea salt! Highly recommend! Find this cart and have the perfect treat yourself moment.

Great place to get delicous doughnuts on the coast. The doughnuts are freshly made with great gourmet toppings. The coffee is also very good to complement the doughnuts. If you are in the area you shouldn't miss it.

These doughnuts are AMAZING!! My personal favorite was the brown maple butter but you can't go wrong with any of them, honestly. And with a hot cup of joe from Marigold Coffee, you'll leave happy. Give these great people your business!! You won't be disappointed!

Beautiful location, very friendly service, delicious donuts! Will definitely be coming back here!

Delicious warm mini donuts & coffee! Try all the flavors?you won?t be disappointed!

These guys are amazing! My sister and hubby and my little nephew that have started this business but that doesn?t change the fact that what they?re starting in Wheeler is going to be amazing! The donuts are light and fluffy with the perfect about of crispiness! And my sister is so creative with the topping flavors! The browned butter maple syrup is my ultimate favorite! Check them out, they?re the real deal!

DELICIOUS fresh donuts. We got a dozen mixed donuts for $10. Highly recommended!!!

This place is a hidden gem! Delicious mini donuts and a beautiful river front setting. Our crew devoured two dozen! The seasonal blueberry lemon was the crowd favorite. We?ll definitely be back!

The donuts here are perfection; every flavor is scrumptious and a little too addictive! The people who work here are fantastic and really kind, I'm so glad they decided to set up shop in Nehalem. I am kicking myself for not trying these donuts sooner. I'm definitely going to be a regular customer from now on :)

The mini donuts are so fresh and so yummy!!! So glad we stopped in this place.

Great spot to stop for a snack. Donuts are amazing and so is the coffee. The owner is a good fisherman aswell.

Hidden gem! A great place to stop and enjoy morning coffee, gourmet donuts, and soak in the serenity of the Nehalem river. Kid and dog friendly! Shout out to the seasonal donut every week?you never disappoint!

I am so glad I don't work in Nehalem anymore. I would not be able to fit into my jeans ??. They say that they are spice mini donuts. Not being a spice fan I only ordered 8.. haha they were warm, delicious and have a variety ofcoatings/glazes. I recommend them all! I've heard from others that the coffee is great too, unfortunately I am done with coffee before 9am. But I will be back for donuts on a regular basis.

Great coffee, insanely delicious doughnuts, sweet seating by the river. We tried one of each and they were all amazing, but the honey sea salt was my favorite - I could have eaten 100 more. A must visit if you?re on the coast!

Awesome spot to support! Seasonal specials, classics are great too - and plenty of seating with view of the river. Outdoors / just fyi if it?s rainy.

I'm really not a big donut guy and my expectations were not the highest. But I went there to support a good friend of mine. Well, my expectations were surprised. The mini donuts were the bomb! I had to stop myself from eating to many and to top it off they had awesome coffee to wash it down with,. I stand corrected, I may be a donut guy after all. Great job Kyle and Breanna. Your donut truck and donuts are the shizzz...

My daughter and I stopped by for some fish and chips on our way back from a coast vacation. As we were sitting down, a young woman with a beaming beautiful smile came up the steps and said, "I just baked up a test batch of doughnuts, would you like to try some?". That generous gesture started a conversation, and we learned that the next day was to be their opening day. The mini cake doughnuts were delicious. I have always been partial to cake doughnuts, and they are the only ones I will make at home. A litt

Fresh, hot, and pillowy?Try them all!

We had rhubarb cream donuts and they were profoundly awesome. The filling was perfect and the donuts were the perfect temperature with a wonderful balance of doughy and crispy.

Loved the mini donuts. The options were great! My kiddos couldn't get enough! The couple was very friendly as well. Can't wait to visit again!

Best donuts on the Oregon coast. Amazing donuts with super tasty toppings. Great service, kind people. Good coffee too! Family friendly as well.

Love the warm mini donuts, especially the ones dusted with sugar cinnamon, oh so good! Friendly service! The grandkids are going to love them.

Hands down some of the tastiest donuts I?ve ever had!! The peanut butter ones are my all time fave!! Can?t wait to come back for more!!
