I really enjoy Southern Donut and my (2) experiences I’ve had there. It’s about to be 3 as I don’t want to head to the island just for Amelia Coffee when I can have the same, if not better experience here locally now.
I’m glad Ricky and his staff brought this opportunity to our side so we no longer have to make a drive over the bridge. Yulee and Fernandina need more local establishments like this and get rid of the fast food garbage our patrons seem to keep investing and supporting.
If I could add a recommendation, it would be nice to grab a quick and easy cup of Joe similar to any major drive thru and someway to replicate that here would be great. Perhaps a hot or cold brew island outside with limited donut selection for the grab and go customer.
However, food is delicious. Donuts are fresh and tasty. The smaller donuts are a lasting trend and there has been a place in Northern Michigan by Traverse City that specializes in the same (Peace Love and Little Donuts) and has been there since 2008 and seems to be doing great. I appreciate how Southern Donuts is modeling similar experiences to many of these other small touristy towns. Keep doing great...
Read moreThe food was great. Absolutely loved my breakfast burrito. It was juicy and flavorful. My biggest complaint is they use the same coffee (Nunez) as every other coffee shop around and no matter what my espresso always comes out tasting burnt (no matter where I go or if I take it home and make my own so this is more a roaster issue) so I have to add stuff and that's just not how I prefer it. The donuts were good some were a tad dry but for the most part they were good and my kids loved them. Downside they are tiny so you have to buy a few and at $2 each it just isn't something I really want to do. Sandwiches and everything else were amazing though so next time I'll stick with a smootie and sandwich or burrito.wish I had taken pictures but I didn't the food was devoured after...

Food highly under cooked, hashbrowns was like eating a raw potato, even after sending one of them back cause they got it wrong. "Keep in mind we are the only ones there, so no need to rush". This also make this the third time in a row they got the order wrong. For a $32.00 breakfast it was a disgrace. Will not be going back. (Comment below is no longer valid)
Me and my son stopped in there for breakfast for the first time this morning and I have to say, it is definitely the best breakfast you can get West of the island. I had the breakfast sandwich and my son had the breakfast burrito, amazingly cooked. Highly...
