The Hollywood Donut Factory — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

Stopped into this amazing small business on a Friday evening while on vacation to the area. Wow.... It's not often that our family locates a locally owned donut shop like we had when we were children, so when we find one, we make a stop. The donuts, out of this world! Portion size is huge, I would estimate at least 2 to 3x the size of most donuts. The price is reasonable once you take a bite into whichever donut you choose. My wife had an apple pie filled donut, my son had a jelly log, and I chose the Oreo cookie donut. We each shared a piece of our donut with one another and all agreed these were GREAT donuts! We also had the chance to have a conversation with the owners and staff there in between customers. We learned their background and what motivated them to open the business. We learned they have another location in the area, and that the business is thriving. Being big supporters of small businesses, we were thrilled to support this one. If we had more time in the Ft Lauderdale area on this trip, I would have stopped back several more times to try more donuts, and their coffee. Overall the business was super clean, the staff was friendly, and of course their food was delicious. My only regret was not grabbing some donuts to go and enjoy them the following morning before our flight home. Last thing I wanted to mention was their hours of operation. My family really was impressed that they were open until 10p. For us it opened the door to enjoy some wonderful donuts as a dessert item after dinner, opting to go a more non-traditional route. If you are in the area and looking for some great donuts or coffee, I would recommend you stop in and give them a try. You won't be...

HOLLYWOOD DONUT FACTORY: WHERE DIETS GO TO DIE (AND IT’S TOTALLY WORTH IT!)

I left Howl At The Moon to look for something sweet. I stumbled into Hollywood Donut Factory on Las Olas Boulevard, thinking I’d just grab a quick coffee. Ha! Foolish me. The moment I laid eyes on their donuts, my willpower evaporated faster than my Americano cooled down. And let me tell you—that sour cream blueberry donut wasn’t just good; it was life-changing. Moist, rich, packed with flavor, and so perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy that I’m pretty sure angels sang when I took my first bite.

Pairing it with their bold, smooth Americano was a power move. The coffee was strong enough to wake me up but not bitter enough to make me regret life choices. It was the perfect match—like peanut butter and jelly, rock and roll, or me and bad decisions at a donut shop.

The vibe inside? Friendly, clean, and full of people who clearly knew they were making the right choice in life by being there. The staff was fast and welcoming, which is important because when you’re craving a donut, every second counts.

Long story short: Go here. Eat the donut. Drink the coffee. Accept that you will come back for more. Your taste buds will thank you (even if your...

Best donuts I've had in Florida! They are gigantic, fresh, and super delicious. I love the chocolate dip yeast donut with rainbow sprinkles. The fresh squeezed OJ here is also very good. The mocha coffee is decent, but I've had better. The owners and pretty much all the staff are super friendly and social; and the place is very clean, tidy, and well-kept. All major credit cards are accepted, including digital payments. The only downside is you are prompted for a tip at checkout which is annoying, especially since there is no table service here so the clerk basically does the same work as your average cashier at CVS or Walgreens who also turns around to grab your preferred pack of cigarettes (donut) from behind the counter yet never prompts you for a tip. The guilt tipping craze obviously isn't limited to this business; it's everywhere these days, unfortunately, especially on Las Olas. Everything else here is great! I will be back, but no tips from me and no guilt...
