Excellent prices on excellent food made fresh and local. The only thing hard about this place is choosing what to get.

Biggest apple fritter I've had! And nicely cooked through, which other places sometimes are not. And very tasty!

I recently moved to the area (family has lived here for decades, so I am aware of Beach Donut from my visits, but now I can go anytime!!!) and went to Beach Donut the very first morning here after my drive across the country. I have lived here about 4 months, and I go here perhaps 2x a week. They have a great selection of donuts, coffee, tea, sandwiches, etc, but I only order one donut per stop, and take it home to eat. I try to order a new/different one each time, so I have now had one of most different donuts. Service is always great. Donuts are just $2 each, with some specialty things (apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, etc) up to $5 each. I have ordered donuts that I honestly thought I would not like - I think I was challenging Beach Donut to disappoint me after so many home runs! Anyway, I have fun 'rating system' for donuts. There is my 'favorites' list, my 'OK' list, my 'meh' list, and my 'never-again' list. Of the 20-25 different donut flavors that I have tried, this place skews the grading system - EVERYTHING (except for one - later) is on my 'favorites' list. I kid you not. The one that ended up on my 'meh' list was the cinnamon roll. I will never order it again - not because it was bad, but because you can't go wrong with any of the others instead. I have 2 favorite-favorites: The $5 apple fritter and the $2 chocolate glazed. $5 for a fritter seems a little high, on the surface of it all, but when you see this and eat this you will understand that it is worth every penny. If I have ANY complaint about the fritter, it is that the darned things are TOO BIG. There is no way a normal human (See my moniker????? I am USED to eating challenges and usually win.) can eat one of these in a single sitting. But they are THE MOST apple-y fritter I have ever had. Simply awesome! If you are in the area some morning, give this place a try. The donuts rival those from Emily's Bakery in Westbrook which closed decades ago, but set an impossibly high 'donut bar'. Tell them Fatso says 'hi'!!

This is hard to write because I like the people who work there, but I honestly don’t see how this place has not been shut down by the board of health. It is dirty… tables, floors, counters. Staff doesn’t seem very concerned about the way they handle food, and the ceiling is collapsing into the restaurant. I ordered scrambled eggs and was served hard boiled eggs that had been chopped up and heated with some butter. Beverages very limited.

This place is absolutely FILTHY. I went for the first time and was in complete and utter shock. It’s literally falling apart and just complete filth. There’s no way this place would pass a health inspection. I’ve never in my life seen such a dirty restaurant, and I will never step foot in there again. There’s no way the food being prepared is sanitary if that’s how dirty they keep things. I was being attacked by flies while I waited in line. The donuts are good but in no way worth it if they’re coming from such a dirty disgusting environment. I can’t believe people go here and that this place hasn’t been shut down.
Best donuts ever!

Good food. Unorganized. They forget orders and whatnot. It's annoying to watch other people come and go while you wait there for your food. The place is a total dump on the inside but it's because they focus on making good food.
