Whether you’re on the Alabama Gulf Coast for vacation or are here to stay, it’s bound to happen… There will be a moment when you are hankering for something sweet. One of our go to stops to quell that sweet tooth is finding that perfect donut.
Here’s our Top 5 local hangs for that perfect bite.
City Donut
This family-owned local business is a delectable stop for your morning cravings. City Donut is a completely fresh bakery meaning all items are made fresh every morning. For the best selection, you better arrive early! Once they are gone, you are out of luck!
Kayden’s Candy Factory
Don’t let the name fool you! Candy isn’t the only thing on the menu at Kayden’s Candy Factory. Open early to late every day during our busy seasons, this would be a fun place to stop with the family for a late evening sweet treat and pick up those donuts for the following morning. You won’t be sorry!
Café Beignet
Sucré! (That’s French for sweet… ) If you want an international donut treat, Café Beignet is an ideal place for that midmorning break. Their menu may be simple but Café Beignet focuses on their specialty! You can also grab that needed jolt of caffeine while you are enjoying your beignets.
West Beach Coffee House
A great little hidden gem! You may not have known but inside (and upstairs) Gulf Shores’ oldest grocery store, Pier 33, you’ll find this ideal coffee shop, West Beach Coffee House! Featuring a variety of coffee drinks and breakfast baked goods, you have to try their sour cream donut! It’s one of our favorites!
Lickin’ Good Donuts
Tried and true, Lickin’ Good Donuts is a real treat! Offering specialty homemade hot and fresh donuts and savory pastry kolaches, you can’t go wrong with anything you pick. That said, they do sell out of their most loved donuts early so make sure you set that alarm!
Mornings on the coast are slow and peaceful… make sure you enjoy one of these delightful delicacies when your next craving hits!
