We don’t visit Victor Harbour often but when we do this place is one we do try & visit. Their coffees, Hot chocolates etc with the mandatory donuts are fresh & delicious & service is friendly & efficient. I believe they are only open on weekends & holidays so check first but it is a place I recommend & it’s a part of the foreshore shopping area that has a real holiday, fun vibe to it. Enjoy

Best cinnamon donuts going around. Even my 90yr old grandma said they were the best she has ever had. Fluffy, thick & round. Perfection

Really good donuts! The Nutella cinnamon donuts are my favourite. Light, fluffy, soft and heavenly! Also, the best mocha I've honestly ever had. The owners David and Anne are nice!

High quality cinnamon donuts at a reasonable place! Bought 6 donuts for a great price. Tables and chairs are out the front to sit at with plenty of shade. Great views of the beach and the board walk to granite island. I always grab donuts from this place when I come down to granite islands Food: A Staff: B Vibe: B

Nice coffee and donuts. Forgot to take a picture of yummy donuts. There’s a small park close by, a train and tramway ride that you can enjoy the view.

Basic donut van offering cinnamon or jam filled donuts made fresh to order. Good if you like hot and fresh donuts with slightly crispy edges. It's somewhat overpriced but that's a given as it's in a prime tourist spot and right beside fish and chips van and strawberry dessert van. Service is mediocre and opening hours are unclear as they're sometimes randomly closed on weekends, but taste wise it's pretty good.
