Delicious freshly prepared donuts with sn amazing variety of glazes. The also have beignets and an assortment of drinks and beverages.
Nothing like fresh, really fresh donuts. These are made to order. Cannot get much fresher than from fryer direct to you. My first experience here, will definitely return next trip to Caramel by the Sea.

Dutch Door Donuts offers a unique and delightful donut experience, known for its ability to make each donut fresh to order. The beignets are praised as one of the best, with a crispy outside and fluffy interior. Customers can enjoy a variety of flavors, including glazed, mocha-red bread, and seasonal options like the spiced peach donut, which is noted for its tartness and perfectly balanced spices. The atmosphere is described as nice, with a clean and sleek interior. Although there may be a short wait, the handmade donuts are worth it, providing an interesting shape and perfect sweetness.
The donuts are cooked to order, and customers can watch the preparation process, including the drizzling of the glaze. The glaze is sugary but not overly sweet, and the donut itself is light and bready. The menu focuses on donuts and coffee, with a smaller selection, which is considered a good sign. Reviews highlight the salted brown butter latte, evoking flavors of fall, and the ground chocolate donut that features a perfect amount of chocolate, cocoa powder, and a hint of vanilla bean. Customers also enjoy classics like chocolate glaze and cinnamon sugar, as well as seasonal options such as blueberry lemon. Each donut costs a little over five dollars and must be eaten fresh, making it a lovely gem to discover in Carmel.
Recent reviews mention that the spiced peach donut is highly praised, possibly even a top favorite. Visitors note that the donuts are incredibly fresh and warm, worth the short wait, and recommend sharing different flavors with friends. One reviewer described their vanilla glaze donut as fantastic, with a hot, crispy exterior and a delicate glaze that melted perfectly over each bite. Watching the process behind the counter adds to the experience, making Dutch Door Donuts a special spot for donut lovers.
