Tobey's Donut Shop

Very good coffee and fast, fresh hot breakfast made to order not to mention donuts! Folks are super friendly! There is shaded outdoor seating (dog friendly!) across from a lovely little park.

10/10! This place is an absolute GEM ?? The donuts are some of the finest ANYWHERE, the breakfast was SLAMMIN and the staff was super friendly! Sara, my server was a Rockstar! Will be back whenever im in town!

A great place for breakfast and a way to satisfy your sweet tooth. My son and I decided to have a breakfast on our last day camping at the state park before we left. Donuts are good and they have some fun combinations. I had the chorizo omelet with home fries (hash browns for midwesterners like myself) and son had cheese omelet. Both were excellent and we opted for the bagel instead of toast. We also got a Reese?s pieces donut to share. FYI. The home fries so far have been the best potato breakfast thing I

Walked in to get a donut to go on a Friday morning. Loved the diner vibe. The cashier was super friendly and helpful in helping me choose a flavor. Though they didn?t have a ton of donuts on display, there were plenty of the Bizmarks, which I wanted to try and the cashier highly recommended. So glad I got it! It was like a cinnamon roll, but with a more doughy and moist texture. I washed it down with a black coffee. Can?t wait to come back to try more flavors!

Wish I had taken a picture of THE best donut I?ve ever had (and trust me, I know donuts): Peanut butter and jelly. A PERFECT jelly donut with a healthy ?icing? of peanut butter on top. Eaten before hiking the Gorge trail; wish I?d picked up a few extras.

Great little donut shop that also serves breakfast! Staff are super friendly and helpful. Service is very quick after ordering which is helpful to get in and out. Our breakfast ordered were 2 eggs over easy with sausage and whole wheat toast. Also rye bread with omelet with sausage and swiss cheese. The food was excellent. The sausage wasn't overly salty like most sausages which helped. Tried one of their donuts afterwards but it looks so good, I forgot to take a picture lol. Very fresh though!

We walked in prepared for some donuts and discovered it was a full out breakfast hot spot. My husband and I had omelettes and they were so good! The store merchandise was great to look at. We discovered our donut names and enjoyed the small town chatter. Would definitely stop back if in this area again.

While my wife was running a 10k in Montour Falls, I snuck away and ran myself down to the donut shop (I think my idea was better haha). Food: I ended up getting three donuts for the long weekend: long john, apple cinnamon, and apple cider. All three were exceptional, but it was my first time having a long john donut and I was very impressed. Service: The young lady working the counter definitely didn't seem like she wanted to be there, but she was cordial and helped out. Aesthetic: a cool diner mix into

Donuts are amazing! Would have given 5 stars but they do not make many of certain Donuts and they go really fast. There were some varieties where we were there at like 715, right after they open and there were only 2 or 3 left. On time we got there a little after 10am and forget it, there were like 2 varieties left.

Really good donuts. Great selection. You have to get there early, or some flavors will sell out. We ended up getting donuts twice on our weekend getaway. Everything was great.

My dad and I came in on a Saturday morning around 9:30 and these guys were popping- but we got seated and served super fast. The food was delicious, and the coffee and donuts where divine. Every member of staff was efficient, helpful, and kind. 2 coffees, 2 donuts, and 2 omelettes and the total came to under $50 for breakfast for 2 people- so an incredible value especially for the quality of the food. I've lived in the area for years and hadn't stopped in, but now I think I've got a new favorite spot! Best

We stopped here to grap a breakfast sandwich and donuts before visiting Letchworth Park. It was because of previous reviews that we went here. They didn't disappoint. The service was friendly, our sandwiches were delicious and so were the donuts. There's a beautiful park right across the street, too.

Staying in Watkins Glen for the weekend was looking for a place for breakfast. It's listed as a donut shop let me tell you I'm so glad we went. They have more than just donuts all be it the donuts are amazing. So if you are looking for donuts and or breakfast you must go. We ended up going both days that we are there. Who doesn't love donuts as an appetizer before breakfast.

It?s fine. Didn?t love the flavor of the donuts or the donut toppings. Ordering bagels means you have have to put the cream cheese on yourself but at least you get more than enough cream cheese. Lots of interior seating and service was fast and friendly.

Delicious donuts! Fresh and yummy! If you?re in the Watkins Glen area, I highly recommend you stop by and pick a dozen! The donuts tasted fresh! I also ordered a bacon egg sandwich which was good too but could use more bacon but still tasted good nonetheless. They have a full menu so if you aren?t in a donut mood then you have other food to choose from. Check this place out for sure!!

Perfect little breakfast spot in Watkins Glen if you were in the area. Food was really delicious, I got the breakfast sandwich. Would go back in a heartbeat to have it again. The waitress was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Got some donuts on the way out and they were really really good. I got the cinnamon twist And berry sprinkle doughnut and want to go back to try more. If you?re in the area, definitely stop by.

Jill is awesome and so personable! We came in and ordered two donuts as well as two omelettes and toast. I had an apple-stuffed donut. My fiance had an apple cider donut. Both were delicious---much better than chain donuts (looking at you, Dunkin'!) Our omelettes, both with sausage, were served SUPER fast! I ordered sourdough toast with mine and made tasty little sandwiches! I was so close to moaning while eating our breakfast it was almost criminal! ?? Price was reasonable. We would love to come back Fri

Camping and hiking at Watkins Glen State Park for the weekend and wanted a great breakfast. Google did not disappoint. We didn't have the donuts, but they looked delicious in the case! We had an omelette and and egg/bacon/toast breakfast. Delicious! We will definitely stop by again when we are in Watkins Glen, hopefully for donuts next time!

This is the best donut shop around! The donuts are fresh baked every morning, and there's so many different varieties that you can't just choose one! They have great options for kids and adults alike. My recommendation will forever be the Bizmark! They also offer sit-down breakfast options, an outdoor dining area, and a beautiful corner view of downtown Watkins.

We spent a few days enjoying the outdoors around Watkins Glen, and we didn't want to wake up early or cook for ourselves one morning. We didn't realize Tobey's breakfast service ends at 11AM. We made it Tobey's just before breakfast ended fortunately and left satsified and happy to not wash dishes on vacation. We sampled a few of their donuts and ate a delicious simple breakfast. Their hashbrowns are delightfuly seasoned for good flavor, and french toast was tasty. The donut selection was running low, but s

We loved this place, and had breakfast there twice while on vacation in watkins glen. The food was excellent. Their coffee was superb. I'm glad we found this place.

Great little place where hubby and I could get coffees and donuts under 10 bucks. The donuts were delicious and coffee strong. I'm sure their other breakfast items are great too.

I stop by Tobey's once a week. They have fresh donuts & hot breakfast. This is a great local business.

So wanted to try a local place for breakfast. The waitress was so stressed out because she was the only one so her attitude wasn?t the friendliest(which I don?t blame on her) as for the food the hash browns were Amazing and the coffee was ok. I bought donuts for my in laws they said they were good. Might try again this was on a Wednesday morning and they we?re definitely busy!

Stayed in the Finger Lakes for a girls weekend. We got breakfast from Tobey?s both days we were there. Super friendly staff. Amazing breakfast sandwiches! We got them on Kaiser rolls, and they were so fresh & delicious!! We also got donuts. Oh my lord!!!! They were out of this world delicious!!! I live 4 hours away, and I?d drive back just to get the donuts!! (Sorry no pictures of them, we ate them too quick!)

Awesome Donuts! First time in Watkins Glen and found this cute place around noon and they close at 1. So the selection of donuts was somewhat limited but what we got was very good. The Bizmark - a cinnamon roll iced with vanilla frosting - was pretty special. Awesome fluffy texture! Loved this shop!

Their donuts are super fresh, not too sweet and just plain delicious. They also have great eggs, toast, and hot breakfast. The service was also great! Everyone is friendly and helpful.

The food was good and the prices are reasonable. Before I sat down I was excited to have a cider doughnut, since I saw they had several in stock. A while after I ordered I was told they were out of cider doughnuts since they were given to other tables first. I was disappointed and ordered a different doughnut instead. Many of their doughnuts were either almost gone or out. It seems like they are not making enough doughnuts ahead of time to meet the demand.

Phenomenal fresh donuts, mediocre coffee, but definitely worth the stop in Watkins Glen. The donuts are fluffy and sweet, but not cloying. Would highly recommend the chocolate frosted donut, the eclair, and the cinnamon sugar. For me, the star was the sour cream donut; it was rich, sweet, and with a hint of tang. Enjoyed the outdoor seating area.Will return when back in the FLX.

Amazing donuts!! Seriously, I don?t know how they get them so fluffy and moist. Good variety of donuts too. And the staff is super friendly. Good coffee! They also serve full breakfast and sell cold drinks to go.

So I know it's a donut shop and they have spectacular donuts and breakfast "sammiches" but their coffee is just not even gas station quality. If I was there on an off day and it was normally better, then it's a five star. But it's difficult to enjoy a five star donut with a one star cup of coffee. (I just read another recent comment about the coffee) Donuts, choc cake, blueberry, sour cream/glazed and choc iced were really well done, warm and delicious. Egg+cheese & sausage on English muffin was piping hot

Yum!!!!! So goooooood. Sans everyone was so super friendly. You can get donuts and breakfast sandwiches to go or you can have a full sit down breakfast. Peppermint patty donut was incredible!

This is a great shop with delicious food made just the way I wanted. I tried to take a picture of my meal, but it was too hard to stop eating it. Oh, well! You'll have to settle for a picture of my half eaten meal. This is a lovely area to visit. I am staying in the Sugar Hill State Forest where there is free camping and great trails for horseback riding. Finger Lakes National Forest is also nearby. Lots of great places for a nomad and traveling storyteller to to enjoy. I suspect I'll visit all of these pl

We got breakfast it was great. Breakfast sandwich and sourdough toast was very good. Iced coffee was good. Our waitress was pleasant and very accommodating. My only complaint for the 3 stars is the donuts. They could have been better. Apple filling tasted a little sour, my lemon donut was pretty empty, and my cinnamon cereal was stale. It was also early and a lot of the donuts were sold out already.

Got the #3 breakfast special. The food was delicious and came to the table hot. Reasonable priced and the waitress was super friendly! I highly recommend! Amazing donuts too!

The restaurant is clean and decorated nicely. The service is accommodating. The donuts were hot and fresh (6:30AM)!! EXCELLENT!! The coffee was less desirable and very weak for my liking but that seems to be the going theme at any of the places I?ve visited around town. The coffee everywhere is more like a watery tea, this place was no worse or better.

This is a must if you are in the Watkins Glen area. We happened to find this little shop accidentally on our honeymoon. The donuts were some of the best I've ever had. Breakfast was good too, my husband and I got the Mexican omelet. They have sandwiches that you can get to go as well. We will definitely be back.

Omelets were good, a little pricey. Really liked the apple donut and French creme donut. Would go back for donuts only. Good location, with small parking lot, some street parking in front.

Best donut I've ever had, and I'm not much of a donut eater myself. However I did take one as an emergency comfort ration while exploring several state parks local to the region. I will say it was a perfect needed snack later in the day.

Excellent Doughnuts!!! Always fresh. Their breakfast meals are great as well. They are only open for Breakfast and Lunch but it is definitely worth it. Such excellent service.

Walked in and proceeded to the cooler to be seated as the signs instructed us to do. Waited for about 5 minutes as the workers looked at and walked by us. It was not super busy. Eventually, someone asked if we were eating in and we said yes. She pointed to 3 open booths and said we could choose any and she'd bring us menus. We chose our seats and she brought us 2 menus and said another waitress would be taking our order. We waited another 10 minutes as the staff stood around, walking past us, etc. I told

Great little spot, breakfast sandwich was delicious, donuts were really fresh and tasty!

Our waitress had her first day today and honestly we couldn?t tell until she told us.everyone was very nice, and wait staff unfortunately has to handle rude customers that walked in 15 mins after us but did so very well. Food was amazing, and the doughnuts were to die for !:)

Donut was great! Service speedy and friendly. The scrambled eggs not so great and the breakfast sandwich too greasy with butter and salty. I would go again for a coffee and donut.

We split an apple cider donut and the corned beef hash breakfast plate. Amazing donut, good potatoes and eggs, but the hash was clearly from a can and hard to get down. The coffee was great and service outstanding, but we were pretty let down by the corned beef quality. We would go again and try an omelette or other breakfast protein though.

Killer breakfast spot and tasty donuts. Def will be back if ever in the area.

Great breakfast spot and donuts are 10x better than any chain place you can get. Advice if you are ordering to go call ahead. Service is amazing but with one register sometimes the line can get lengthy. Great for families and kids to grab a quick breakfast near the lake.

Great donuts and full service breakfast. The hashbrowns are perfection. Staff was very friendly and the old diner booths comfy. All the fuel you need for the grueling hike thru Glen canyon

This is a MUST if you are staying in the area! Great breakfast and the best donuts we have ever had. Get there early because the donuts sell out! Dog friendly on the patio. Very friendly staff.

Best donuts I have ever had, and the best little restaurant and diner in town. Omelets are awesome. They even give you free refills on your coffee and a to go cup if you want one.

Sweet mother of God. Never again will I be able to crunch into a chain donut store donut and feel joy. I?m cursed with the knowledge that tobeys donuts, 5 hours away from me, is the only place to get an authentic donut experience. Even now as I bite into my donut, I am filled with sadness knowing that no other donut will ever be able to compare to this place. I am enlightened at a cost.

Everything was perfect. Tobeys, you are awesome. Not looking forward to November when y?all close ??

Average doughnuts at best. Limited selections. Their credit card up charge is absurd. I should get a discount on doughnuts because I don?t drink coffee and don?t want to pay for their coffee machines. I didn?t eat inside so no one had to clean a table, where are my discounts for that. These businesses have taken advantage of Covid to increase their profits.

Best cinnamon bun ive ever had, have contemplated driving 4 hours to get another

Like a step back in time! Food is delicious and so fun to select a homemade donut. Have kids? Make a donut stop, then enjoy it in the park (adjacent). Heading out to shop the town or walk the gorge, make Tobes a treat before you get started.

Best sour cream donuts I've ever tasted!!!

Friendly service. We were glad we got there before all the donuts sold out. We were able to get 6 donuts-each a different flavor, each delicious and fresh. We arrived at about 10 am. We sat down for breakfast and each ordered something. I had the cheese omelet which was decent. My son had the "build your own" breakfast sandwich and said it was the best breakfast sandwich he ever had. That is saying alot because he eats a lot of breakfast sandwiches. I ordered a coffee and was not offered a refill, but then

Driving through Watkins Glen on our way home, decided to stop for breakfast and we're so glad we did, freshly made breakfast sandwiches were delicious,

A cute local place for great breakfast and delicious donuts! A sweet way to start a day!

Tobey knows breakfast! Best breakfast so far in upstate NY.

Excellent donuts. My group loved their Bismarck cinnamon rolls. But as others have said, they can sell out if you get there too late. We got there around 9 AM on Saturday and they still had plenty left, but we?re mostly sold out when we arrived closer to 11 on another day.

I see some negative reviews on this place but let me tell you. The coffee and the donuts outshine anything or any complaint about this place. I have been coming to this place for years and Hands down - THE BEST DONUTS - in the world. And I say that having lived in NYC and travelled all over. Whether you get a chocolate glazed or a bizmark - these donuts are soft, melt in your mouth, made in house, and simply the best. Makes magical places like Watkins Glen even more special.

Sitting is great, food is top notch. Must try vegetable dumplings, pineapple juice. Clean and comfortable environment

We stopped here on our way home. It was a Sunday so pretty busy. Not sure about other days but based on how good the food is, I?d guess this place is always busy!! I got a half dozen donuts ($12). They were amazing, fresh, soft with that little bit of crunch a fresh donut made from scratch has. We also got egg sandwiches. They are choose your own meat, cheese, bread for $7.50 flat. It took about 20 minutes to get our sandwiches, but again I walked in on a Sunday morning so that?s expected. They do call ahea

The breakfast was pretty small and underwhelming. The donuts were good though.

After seeing really good reviews, my family and I were excited to try this donut shop being out of town and chose to stop here prior to going to Watkins Glen. Very unorganized and unwelcoming as we waited 10 min to be seated. Very expensive just for your basic breakfast sandwiches so my family and I chose to order 6 donuts, 2 coffees and a chocolate milk and that was $22!!!! The donuts were absolutely disgusting, greasy and left a bad after taste in your mouth.

We stopped in quickly while on a wine tour. Sadly they were pretty much sold out of donuts but we got one of the leftovers bags with the ones that were too small to sell and a blueberry. Overall solid donuts. Maybe the others are better but I would go back to try another if I were in the neighborhood.

We happened upon Tobey's while heading to Watkins Glen SP and decided to take a peek as our kids love donuts. They were amazingly delicious. Reminded me of my hometown bakery and their donuts. They have lots of typical types and then different flavors. I highly recommend them to anyone in the area. I know if we ever make it back to the region we will be stopping back in.

I visited Toby's for breakfast, and overall, it was a standard experience you'd expect at a small town diner. Unfortunately, the service was lacking as there was only one unfriendly waiter. The prices were a bit high for the quality of food received. While the donuts were decent, they weren't outstanding. We ended up spending a little over $30 for two people. Considering these factors, I believe there are better dining options in town to explore.

I would post a photo of the delicious donut I got but I ate it too fast for a photo shoot. I got the chocolate frosted donut with sprinkles and it was probably the best one I?ve ever had. I have to commend this place bc despite being hectic and busy they handled it really well. Not a large place so a little cramped but for obvious reasons. The guy working the counter was extremely pleasant. The breakfast sandwiches were also really good! The bacon could be a little crispier though. I would absolutely stop b

A gem in Watkins Glen! Only open for breakfast from 6a-12pm so go in the am. Great, tasty and simple breakfast options- eggs , sausage, corned beef hash, omelettes, breakfast sandwiches and toast. Donuts were amazing- light, fluffy and delicious. We had the bizmark (cinnamon roll) and glazed cream cheese donut which were both excellent. Service was excellent- staff were all very friendly, speedy and good with kids. Will def recommend to friends and visit again!

Not a bad way to wake up for breakfast. And the waitress is good on the eyes! Smiles

Cute little cafe and donut shop in a great location just off of Franklin St, which can get busy in the summer months. Very friendly and welcoming staff! Beautiful flowers arranged on the deck and we loved the outdoor seating option. Love that it is also pet-friendly! The food is delicious- the cinnamon buns and breakfast sandwiches were some of our favorites!

Reasonably priced, great food and outstanding donuts. We stopped here for breakfast and were not at all disappointed. Definitely would do this again and the donuts? They say these might be the best you've ever had. They were all of that. Clean, friendly and it shows they have a lot of pride in doing what they do.

They forgot our iced coffees after we ordered our meal and then forgot the bacon on our daughter's plate, but both matters were resolved almost instantly so I applaud the recovery and the lovely donuts we ate after.

A simple breakfast place with freshly brewed coffee that tastes really really good. Like the name suggests, they do sell donuts and most of donuts gets over by 1030 am in the morning. There donuts are tasty, fluffy and very fresh, better than donuts from our usual chain brands. Definitely try 1. French cream donut 2. Home fries 3. Coffee Sometimes all you need is a simple breakfast with eggs and toast and they serve it quite well !

The food and donuts were good, but our waitress was less than excited to be there. It took a while for our order to be taken (wasn?t busy at all). My husband wasn?t offered a coffee refresh, as the table next to us was. Not professional behavior. The lady that took our donut order was very receptive and cheerful. Might try them again as you can?t judge a place by one sour employee.

Hands down the best donut shop I have ever had (and I?ve had my fair share of donuts around the east coast). The donuts were absolutely delicious. The breakfast sandwiches were amazing as well. We stopped by here 2 times during our 3 day trip - and I wish we stopped by even 1 more time! A must go if you are in Watkins Glen or the surrounding area. Tip: go first thing in the morning if you want the best selection of donuts. They were sold out of 90% of the donuts by 9am.

We found Tobeys just by chance and will visit everytime we go to the Glen from now on. We purchased a dozen donuts because we wanted extras for the next day at the track. The day old donuts were better then fresh donuts we've had at other places. Loved it here, and the staff were very nice also!

My wife and I had breakfast at Tobey's twice during our FLX mini vacation. The food was delicious, the portions generous and the staff super nice. Be sure to pick up some old-fashioned sourcream donuts - they are some of the best we've ever had. Pure Americana!

I drove from Silver Lake to Watkins Glen just for these donuts. I am a born and raised Chicagoan, and I will be back for more. You made our vacation in October. These delightful treats will never disappoint you. Keep doing you Bo Bo

Best staff and service ever !!! Food and donuts are the best !!! Special thank you to Sarah Scaptura for returning my wallet all the way to California! You are a life saver and I really appreciate it!

Found this place for breakfast on a whim, came back the very next day for a dozen donuts to share!

Love the breakfast sammich!! Bagel was super soft. They also went out of their way to make us a donut on the spot that wasn't quite available just yet. Great customer service. Highly recommend. If I ever travel back to the area, I will be a repeat customer ????

Have to admit that we were a bit disappointed in breakfast. My glazed donut tasted a day old and the glaze was damp. The coffee was not particularly strong. And the home fries are seasoned with a salted blend that made them quite salty and left an orange puddle on my plate. The eggs were nicely done and the sourdough toast was tasty. The staff was pleasant and attentive, though not curious about the fact that there was a donut with one bite taken out of it left at the end of the table.

Best donuts ever! Everyone there was friendly also. I have an allergy and they were nice enough to check ingredients for me. I tried the apple cider, boston creme, and chocolate glazed. They were all absolutely perfect. This place is a must if you're in Watkins Glen.

We visited the donut shop while staying in town for the weekend. We live nearby and have never before stopped to try the food. We ordered a dozen doughnuts and each one was savory. The kids naturally flocked to the sugary varieties. The apple filled doughnut was a house favorite. They offer other items besides doughnuts as well.

Homemade amazingly sugary delicious noms. Across from a nice park. Car parking spots are available.
