Charlie's Delights — Restaurant in Alys Beach

Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but the donuts we purchased this morning were horrible. No doubt they were leftover from yesterday and not fresh. They open at 7am on Saturdays and we arrived at 7:45a...so it's not as if we arrived late in the morning and the donuts had been sitting out all day (irony isn't lost on me).

Purchased a dozen donut holes, half dozen glazed and two cream filled glazed for $14...very disappointed. To say I've had gas station donuts that tasted fresher is is a given. They tasted so bad, that I considered turning around and taking them back but I wimped out. Instead l, I went home and got tough in the mirror, kinda like Holden Caulfield.

By reading the other reviews, it's apparent that we just caught them on a bad day. Was disappointing, however, because I was looking forward to put a doughy balll of glazed paradise in my mouth. Instead, I was met with disappointment....now I know how my parents, wife...

We arrived at 7:30 and the line was already quite long. I suggest you get there when they open, parking is very limited. I enjoyed an apple fritter, which was delicious. My son enjoyed a chocolate, sprinkled donut which was very dry. It was a very convenient breakfast but overpriced to not offer fresh donuts, perhaps they were not stored properly. Coffee was $2.50 each and chocolate milk was even more, so we opted to take our donuts to go. Since visiting we discovered that this business was started by 2 disabled veterans and we are happy to support them. We will definitely give Charlie's another try and encourage...

Not a donut fan and I love this place and insist my son and husband get up early and go get donuts for us. I am a plain kind of fan with sour cream old fashioned being my favorite, but they love the more elaborate chocolate with sprinkles etc. They are moist, sweet, but not too sweet and wonderful texture. We could see the truck from our home and I actually got up to see if they were open and sent my hubby and son over bright and early!! Within the hour the line was very very long!!! I hear rumors it is moving into one of the buildings on Alys Beach Property!! I want to stay near that building...
