Donuts Plus - Lavallette

The best donuts I've ever had! They're soft and taste like they’re homemade. The service is quick, but since they’re so popular, expect a line. The atmosphere has a family-friendly vibe; I've been coming here for the past 20 years and recognize many of the same faces! It's a fantastic establishment, but be aware that they only accept cash. I highly recommend trying the Oreo crumb donut!

The food is quite good, but the service is slow and disorganized. There were some lost orders, and the lack of air conditioning makes it uncomfortable when the restaurant is crowded.

We're in New Jersey, and charging $28 for three sandwiches and coffee with just one slice of Taylor Ham is unreasonable. Come on, do the math and please add a few extra slices like a typical New Jerseyan would expect!

Donuts are very good, however, prices are outrageous! Got one donut and one cinnamon twist and it was $5.86!! They raised prices again. I'll be going to Wawa instead. Just another store trying to fleece people of more money.

3 1/2 stars At approximately 6AM this past Sunday, I discovered that the beach house I was staying at had very suspicious expired coffee that tasted like rump. Enter Donuts Plus, the only establishment within 20 blocks that was open and brewing some joe. I walked over and discovered a very cute little red building with almost a bodega feel inside. You 're not getting a latte here you 're pouring your own coffee, and it probably doesn 't have a flavor other than caffeinated. The coffee was what it was. It woke me up, and went down smooth. There were a few other customers in there (so apparently this is THE spot for early birds), and the friendly fellow behind the counter told me they 'd been open since 2AM and had had some interesting patrons in the earlier morning hours. When I got to the counter I saw a display of donuts and ordered half a dozen, which included a jelly, two chocolate frosted and an Oreo. I had the two chocolate frosted over the course of the next two breakfasts. Not bad, but I 've honestly had better. Especially when I 'm on vacation I try to shop local as much as possible, but Dunkin might actually have the better donut quality. The structure was the most obvious area for improvement it reminded me unfortunately of NYC street cart donuts, which have gone massively downhill in the last 20 years. The frosting was kind of stale and easily broke off when bitten into, though the donut itself was decent. The others were consumed by chums and were warmly received. I don 't think any were left uneaten, and that 's kind of the benchmark in my view. Definitely worth a stop if you 're in the area at the break of dawn but you probably have better options if you can wait an extra hour or two.
