Daylight Donuts — Restaurant in Effingham

Found this donut shop on mpas and checked out the website which really doesnt have much going for it. But the background image pictured donuts crusted in oreos and other amazing looking versions on the classic glaze. I went on Saturday morning and as I entered I was immediatly unimpressed. I was arriving at 7:30am and the selections were all basic. Some glazed a few few jelly filled, glazed old fashined but no chocolate covered old fashioned. One option for cream filled and my wife says they doughnut part was extremely dry. Ordered a couple breaskfast burritos that were OK and tried what variety they had getting about 8 donuts. Out the door I was lighter to the tune of $18 which was a bit of a shocker, maybe the breakfast burritos were the balme. I was given some free donut holes in the box, which was very kind, but left there thinking I probably won't return. The donuts at IGA down th street put this place to shame. Sorry Daylight Donut, but from someone that has travelled this country and eaten amazing basic donuts from Randy's in L.A. to the wildest concotions at Voodooo Donut in Portland, You have not done the donut world justice. Side note, the glaze donuts were pretty good, but not worth...

Old fashioned decor with delicious doughnuts.

We’re on a road trip and heard through the grapevine that this was a place to stop if we were coming through in the morning. We arrived right as the munchkins were coming out. They were still warm 🤤🤤🤤 My husband got a long John and unexpectedly, they fill it to order. (I suspect it keeps it fresher and fluffier for longer.)

I have to say I was surprised with how delicious the cream in the doughnut was. It was milky and silky. It almost tastes like marshmallow fluff. We got six munchkins, the long John, the bear claw and a glazed donut for six dollars! 🤯

This places is definitely worth the stop if...

Y’all.... I went in there with my fiance and baby this morning to get some breakfast. We ordered, then he went to the kitchen to get our food. When he opened the door to the kitchen he had to step over a small gate. I’m thinking, “surely there isn’t a dog in this kitchen...” then sure enough WE HEAR A SMALL DOG BARKING IN THE KITCHEN!! We packed up the baby and walked right out the door before he even came back up front. Then once in the car THEY proceeded to stare at US like WE did something wrong. WHO LETS DOGS BE IN THE KITCHEN OF AT...
