At approximately 6AM this past Sunday, I discovered that the beach house I was staying at had very suspicious expired coffee that tasted like rump. Enter Donuts Plus, the only establishment within 20 blocks that was open and brewing some joe. I walked over and discovered a very cute little red building with almost a bodega feel inside. You're not getting a latte here - you're pouring your own coffee, and it probably doesn't have a flavor other than "caffeinated."
The coffee was what it was. It woke me up, and went down smooth. There were a few other customers in there (so apparently this is THE spot for early birds), and the friendly fellow behind the counter told me they'd been open since 2AM and had had some interesting patrons in the earlier morning hours. When I got to the counter I saw a display of donuts and ordered half a dozen, which included a jelly, two chocolate frosted and an Oreo. I had the two chocolate frosted over the course of the next two breakfasts. Not bad, but I've honestly had better. Especially when I'm on vacation I try to shop local as much as possible, but Dunkin might actually have the better donut quality. The structure was the most obvious area for improvement - it reminded me unfortunately of NYC street cart donuts, which have gone massively downhill in the last 20 years. The frosting was kind of stale and easily broke off when bitten into, though the donut itself was decent. The others were consumed by chums and were warmly received. I don't think any were left uneaten, and that's kind of the benchmark in my view.
Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area at the break of dawn but you probably have better options if you can wait an extra...

The place wasn’t busy at all, just my family of 4 (two parents, 9 year old girl and 2 year old boy) and then one other person. Two girls working the counter & we have the girl with the blonde hair, absolutely impatient and rude. Most of the people coming in there are on vacation & not in a rush so to be nasty and pushy to a customer while in a customer service job is uncalled for. Not to mention you’re being impatient with children picking out donuts from a place they have never been. She really should look for a job where you do not have to deal with children. Donuts weren’t good enough to go back with that terrible experience. Guy with dark hair making the sandwiches was very nice & helpful tho. Thank you to him...
