We came here one morning to check for ourselves just how good this donut shoppe was....... Well, we were not disappointed. It wasn't very crowded around the time we went there which was a Wednesday around 9am. We liked the selection and they all seemed fresh. We would definitely plan on returning here when we vacationed in Destin again. more

My husband, 3 kids and I went this morning to the Donut Hole for breakfast. I had heard that it was a 'do not miss' spot here in Destin. I knew from what I had heard that there would be a line, which was fine. We walked in the door and there were lots of people waiting. We were directed... more

I have passed by this restaurant on countless trips to Destin, but this was my first time to try it. I cannot believe that I have never eaten here before--it was so good! We had breakfast, and everything we tried was delicious. Staff were very busy (due to a full house), but they kept our beverages full and made sure... more

The first day I ordered a cup of coffee and ad muffin, my wife ordered donuts. The muffin was not fresh and the coffee was just ok. The donuts were very good. We decided to visit again on our way home to Indiana. I asked the waitress if the donuts were fresh and she said yes. I told here the... more

We went to the Destin downtown location. The biscuits were large, light and fluffy. The eggs were dry and rubbery. The donuts and pasteries were fine but nothing exceptional. The service was perfunctory and not particularly attentive. OK breakfast but not any better than IHOP or chain breakfast location. Not particularly worth any added mileage over a national competitor. more

Here and Another Broken Egg are the best places I have ever had breakfast. The food is great. The price is a bit high. more

The place never fails. As for the comment about $11 / dozen, not sure where that came from. More like $7.50! more

Stopped in one night to get dessert to go. Red velvet cake is delicious. My kids got the apple pie, turtle cheescake, and chocolate cream pie-all very good. more

Just ate at Donut Hole this morning after hearing great things about it. Staff was unfriendly - odd for a touristy town. The food was not bad, but not good either. My kids say Krispy Kreme is better donuts, and my eggs benedict was very average. Seems to be about the same quality as The Waffle House, but with twice... more
