Customer Reviews

This doughnut shop was amazing. I really loved all the varieties when I walked in the door. I visited the shop for the first time and was so excited to go from all the good reviews I read, and I was also a bit worried because of a few bad ones. However, the good reviews did NOT disappoint me! The imperfect shapes of the doughnuts indicate that the doughnuts are handmade, fresh, and delicious ??. Also, we went on Saturday at 8 am, and there are many doughnuts available, contrary to the ones who made the ne

Saturday 9/2- This was my first time here and it was pretty cool ?? experience. I have drove pass this location but never really came into the plaza. It is in the plaza with Dominoes Pizza ??. I got me a dozen of donut holes and I really enjoyed them. They also sell coffee. I really like ?? the environment and energy here. They are quick with packing up orders. I highly recommend. I would say you do have to come early I came around 9:30am Based off the photos they was almost sold out. They did have a few le

I went at 9:30 and they had plenty of donuts and a great selection! I was a little nervous because I've been reading that they don't have any donuts after 8:00 a.m. but I found that to be untrue today and their donuts are the best in Okaloosa county!

Cheaper and better than every donut place in the county, you will not find a better donut in okaloosa, great variety, great donuts, and ok coffee.

The best doughnuts in all if Okaloosa County and further! There doughnut wholes are to die for and my husband always gets an apple fritter!! Prices are extremely affordable... you won't ever want to eat doughnuts anywhere else after you try these!!!!

Wife and I stopped in this morning before a day out on the water. We had never been here. The girl working the counter was super patient and had an amazing attitude! They were almost sold out of everything by 0930. I wish we had pictures but we ate them so fast! These doughnuts were by far the best I have ever had! Super light and amazing flavor! Will be a normal stop from now on!!!

Absolutely fantastic homemade donuts with strong coffee! Get there early because they sell out quick! These girls work hard and make tons of delicious donuts. 10 out of 10 would advise. You come in with six bucks you're walking out with a lot of donuts

Went in early at 5:50 and no there was barely a selection. 2 strawberry donuts 1 chocolate 1 Kruller . Asked if more were on the way she said no?. What???

This is the best donut shop in ft walton beach. They have more decent prices than most other donut shops.

Some of the best donuts I've ever had.

Incredibly cheap prices for amazing quality. They sell quick because of how good they are

Hands down the best donuts in the Valp/Niceville area. I used to live in Nashville and was totally spoiled with the quality and variety of restaurants. Twin Cities is a gem of a donut shop in the area with good prices. To the negative reviews about being sold out, you can call the night before, leave a message and order ahead, otherwise you're rolling the dice as to what you want against demand. Cheers!

Updated review: The donuts were very light, tasty and very good. All good flavors, fresh, and worth the drive to get. If you get a chance, head down to get a dozen - maybe two as they are worth sharing. More than two you need to call ahead. They are very busy!

Awful. I called in early as per the reviews to put in my order of a dozen. While the customer service was excellent the doughnuts unfortunately were a HUGE disappointment for $12.00 they looked severely undercooked, minimal glaze and very dry. I thought putting them in the microwave would help to soften them a little and that just made them even harder smh definitely not better than Krispy creme and sadly I would NOT recommend

I've visited this donut shop a handful of times since moving here and each time has been a huge disappointment because they're always sold out. The sign says they're open until 11 AM but that's a joke. Don't even bother if you're getting there after 8 AM. It's like they make one batch of donuts for the day and when they're out, that's it.

Learn how to talk to customers. Do not yell and throw things and tell us you will close the shop down for simply waiting on donuts. Horrible customer service. Too bad I didn?t video it to have more proof but that was childish.

Find somewhere else...Tried to call ahead, nobody answered the phone. I got there at 7:40 and they were out of pretty much everything. I was second in line so I just left. I guess they make enough money selling all their donuts to the first few people in the store that it doesn't matter if they sell more after that.

It was clearly ANOTHER disappointment to arive before 10am to find the place closed on Tuesday after the weekend. I'm not sure if IT was even opened in the first place!!! This would be our third time going with the same results. Extremely not interested in trying again!! Thier loss. I can only imagine, if this is happening to me, how many other people interested in tasting those donuts is it happening to. While we were there this time an air force gentleman also couldn't believe they were closed that

The donuts are delicious! The yeast donuts are the star, but the cakes donuts are great, too! They come in contemporary flavors (maple bacon or vanilla coconut, anyone?) and are well priced at $7-9/dozen, depending on variety. Be aware that they go quick. I didn't think to ask if they make a second batch, but it didn't look like it, so come early for selection.

We have been using them to buy donuts for our Elementary school for 3 years now. Buying on average 56 dozen at one time. Always on time and great quality. All the kids and parents love "Donuts with Grownups" day.

Best doughnut shop hands down! We try to go every friday before school. Instead of cupcakes for my son's birthday, he likes to bring doughnuts for his class. Get there early because she sells out!

Great donuts. Just wish they didn't run out of everything so quickly. Get there as close to opening as you can.

I was excited to finally make it here since this place closes pretty early. Overall I was underwhelmed - the blueberry donut was a little rubbery which was weird, but the cinnamon sugar was okay and the cinnamon critter (basically an apple fritter minus the apples) was actually really good. I?ll be back, but only for the cinnamon critter, and because the staff seemed nice and I would prefer to support this business rather than Dunkin? Donuts or equivalent.

Best Donuts around! I have been coming here since I was a little girl! My dad used to bring us every Saturday morning he could! This place means so much to me and my sisters since our dad passed in 2016. Everytime I bite in to one of those donuts it is a instant memory! You won't find better donuts anywhere! Thank you twin cities donut shop!

I have been going here for donuts since they opened under the Kirkpatrick's Tasty-O's. Even after changing hands over the years, the quality has remained consistently high. They are only open in the mornings for the business rush and close when they run out of donuts. No wonder the close early, they taste great!

All donuts made fresh each morning. Super good! Simple, no over the top concoctions. Very, very nice staff.

Poor business. If you say you open at 0530 be open at 0530. Twice I tried to go here and they weren't open when they were supposed to be by the times they have posted. Tuesdays-Sundays 0530-1100. I came by at 0545 and waited until 0615 and the guy was in there but the shop wasn't ready to open clearly. I won't be making my drive out from Niceville to get donuts here nor will I give my business to them when I go on base every morning. Not keeping promises you make to your customers does not deserve my time o

I went in this place this morning to find me a donut. And they probably had 10 donuts in the entire case. And when I asked them what was coming up next, they just named what they already had. It's not advertising to walk into a donut shop and find that they have maldonades for the most part

The only negative anyone can say about TC Donut Shop (I remember when it was Tasty-Os) is they will sell out of donuts. They only sell fresh sonuts, so if they don't sell today they are gone. If you can get there when the donuts first get glazed you are in for a treat.

Love this place! For six years drive by it twice a day and never noticed it. One donut and I am hooked! Apple fritters are amazing. Nice people too. Go early, when they sell out they close.

I've enjoyed their donuts and friendly smiles for 30+ years. any other donut shop can't even come close. If you want the best tasting donut visit my friends at Twin Cities Donut Shop.

Literally the best donuts in the world. Grew up on these donuts and have never been able to find any that compare in the many cities I've lived or visited. I now live in California, when I come home, this is my first morning stop for a dozen (let's be real, 2 dozen) donut holes!

Purchased a variety of donuts for the office on Valentine's Day! s. Everyone loved the SWEET gift! Thank you for your fresh pastries!

Best donuts anywhere. But, Sunday mornings they go fast due to large purchased by church groups. 7:45 only a couple dozen donut holes left.

Twin Cities Donut Shop consistently has fresh, quality donuts at a good price. Customer service is on point; quick & professional. Highly recommended.

We have been traveling around the US and trying the apple fritters and none compares to what this Donut Shop makes, they are the best we have had by far. Now that we are back in the area we look forward to coming and buying not only the apple fritters but, many other of his yummy pastries. Only problem is we now live 45 minutes away so hoping some will still be there in the am when we get over there.

Nothing to chance...Be there EARLY, or else you will be disappointed. They move fast and rightly so. I've been going here for 10 years and they are awesome, family owned, and love what they do. I am worth it and they always are ready to ensure you have a good memory. Thanks so much. Big CT Tech from Twin Cities Hospital

Just regular ol? donuts. Not terrible but not amazing. There wasn?t much of a selection either, but the staff was wonderful, and I was in and out quickly.

We love the cream cheese filled donuts, but they seem to rarely, if ever, be available now. The yeast and cake donuts are delicious too.

BY FAR Waaaaaaaay better than Dunkin Donuts!! If you are buying for family or you workcenter, they will like you and maybe keep you forever because these soft, scrumptious, melt-in-your-mouth, torus shaped, good-excuse-to-gain-weight DONUTS are so GOOD.

A Niceville staple for sure. My favorite glazed doughnut I've ever had. Make sure to get there earlier than later. These tasty treats go fast.

For over two years I have passed through the USO at the Destin/FWB Airport and Twin Cities Donut Shop has provided something nearly every time! It's businesses like this that continuously make sacrifices for our Service Members with little or no recognition that should not be overlooked. Thank you for providing moments of joy to those Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coasties that pass though VPS for whatever reason!

We tried a few donut shops around Destin while on vacation here. The donuts here we're by far the best. Amazing flavor and texture! Wish we had bought more than we did!!

Best fresh donuts I have ever tasted. Great quick service. Travel on my days off from Crestview for these donuts never disappointed.

This place is worse run shop ever I have been there 6 times at different times and never any doughnuts available. Absolutely horrible n today 3 workers and had 6 glazed doughnuts at 6 a.m. pathetic

Donuts are tasty but a bit expensive. Go early as they sell out fast! Staff is friendy.

They donut have gluten free :(

Two ladies there offer fast friendly service regardless of how early it was be kind show them love leave them a tip help them out

Call ahead, the donuts were very fresh & ready, the ladies were all very friendly, the price was great, and without a doubt, the best donuts in town.

Love this donut shop. Call the day before to order or they will sell out. So good, nothing lasts

This is a shop where there's donuts until they're gone... and they are worth getting up to be at the head of the line. Donuts the way they were before every grocery store and chain started baking them.

Great doughnuts! I have been coming by for years. started in the old location. If you like fresh hot doughnuts, this is the place..??

I stopped by in here last weekend and they have the best smelling shop in the city! There are a lot of donuts to choose form and they also have great coffee.

I deliver to the Base next door and sometimes have to park my truck there and they are the friendliest people i always love stopping in for their doughnut holes and apple fritters

Tastes just like Tast-T-O?s from when I was a kid in FWB. The Same family makes them

Without a doubt best around!! Locals favorite for years!

The selection and choice is amazing, always fresh and they taste great. Well priced compared to other donut retailers.

Best donuts around. Note: they tend to sell out quickly. Once they are out for the day they close. Go early.

Small selection of donuts. Staff was polite and friendly. Donuts were definitely tasty.

My boys and I go in there every Friday and get doughs before school. Awesome staff and doughnuts!

Best donuts in the area hands down! Gotta get there early for the best selection in the mornings though.

Best donut I've had in 4 years, I should've bought more but oh well I guess I gotta go back now.
