Donuts

A list of the Top 25 donut shops in the country was released - and one is right here in New Jersey. But there is something missing...

When it comes to donuts I think we have some fabulous locations right here in Ocean, Burlington, and Monmouth Counties. We always have great choices when it comes to grabbing a dozen donuts.

There's a local Jersey Shore donut shop that's not only a great neighborhood hang (cue the Cheers song because everyone knows your name), it's also a destination for the visiting donut aficionado. These donuts are mouthwatering but we can't ignore the art...presentation is everything! If you're going to a function and you show up with a box of these you're already a hit! Behold the prettiest donuts at the Jersey Shore.

I'm going to make a bold declaration here: Donuts are the new cupcake. In fact, I’m not even a cupcake girl…cupcakes look amazing but I’ve never tasted one that ever compared to a great donut. I’ll even go further, a donut without filling is about as useful as a decaf coffee.

Long after National Doughnut Day, these New Jersey shops will be churning out tasty creations. Here's a map leading you to the best places in the state to dig into some doughnuts.

Living at the Jersey Shore, we are accustomed to the natural scents of the ocean in the summer and the delicious aromas of pizza coming out of the oven, but there may not be anything sweeter than the smell of fresh donuts in the morning.

Today is National Donut Day!  Be sure to check some of the great donut promotions going on around town today and let us know: what is your favorite donut!?
