First visit to the Ringling Blvd Five-O and it sure was a memorable one. Amazingly friendly customer service and fantastic creative one of a kind donuts makes me eagerly anticipate my next trip down to Sarasota from Wimauma. Reese's cheesecake and pumpkin cheesecake cinnamon roll specials are NOT to miss out on. Even shared a nice ocean view with my new Five-O friend. Thanks so much!
Excellent donut place to try out and enjoy! Every time my wife and I stop in Sarasota (though we’ve also been to the Saint Petersburg location as well) we stop here for a tasty treat.
Quality: You may be thinking “why a 4-star instead of 5-star review for a place you like so much?” Most of the time we went here, the donuts were great (we especially really enjoy the strawberry shortcake donut & cronut)! However, their donuts can be hit or miss sometimes. The second time we were here (and very rarely on other occasions) the donuts seemed off. I can’t speak to whether all their products are made fresh each day or what exactly it was (maybe in the fridge during transportation a bit too long?) but the taste was definitely off. We couldn’t quite nail it down what it was, but tried it again and the donuts were as great as they were the first time. That experience only happened one or two more times over the dozen times we’ve had their donuts!
Also - this place is not a coffee place. Everyone has a different pallet, but their coffee was just not good (we like our coffee black with nothing mixed in). I cannot speak to any cappuccinos etc. because we did not try those.
Prices: if you’re used to buying donuts at Dunkin’ Donuts you will be surprised here. They are pricier than your average donut but that’s because they’re not your average donut!! Good quality ingredients and unique flavored (plus nice looking!) donuts. Try them, I’m sure you’ll like them!
Cleanliness: Looked pretty clean to me! I wouldn’t worry about anything crazy getting into your food here.
Location: Very convenient to get to with decent sized parking lot.
Atmosphere: This location is on the smaller side with limited seating. Depending on your party size you can either sit and eat or just take them to go.
Service: Generally really good. There’s an older woman that works at this location that strikes me as a bit grumpy but she wasn’t mean or anything.
Overall I’d highly suggest giving this place a try!
One of the best donuts I've ever had. I had the maple bacon and accidentally dropped it. The employee was kind enough to add bacon to the plain maple donut because there were no more maple bacon ones

Went in on a whim to check for any croissant style doughnuts and low and behold they had some. Blake was awesome and we enjoyed all of our selection
We visited from York, PA! We we greeted as soon as we stepped in the door. The smell of the shop was OUT OF THIS WORLD! All the women working were polite , helpful, and sweet !!!!! Our crew each got something different and we rated them All 10 out of 10. Delicious and will be back if in town again.
AMAZING DELICIOUS DONUTS!!
I love the fancy options, they’re fluffy, decadent, sweet & packed with flavor!! Go, run and check them out!!!

Never disappointed in this place! Last time I was here in 2018 and it was as good as ever. Even for an 11am donut it was superb. Got here later than anticipated so was just happy to get any and with such good quality. Sold out just after us.
What a treat! What a treat! What a treat! This Donuts are freaking awesome. These are Donuts you get a cool person for their birthday instead of a cake. Definitely try the strawberry shortcake, FRIED croissant, yes fried, smores and that's all I can remember right now but trust me you can't go wrong on anything here. The lady that was there was so awesome. Came here two days in a row and had some coworkers with me.
If you're looking for a donut that requires 2 hands to hold, then look no further! They are huge, delicious and at a reasonable price. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Once they sell out (because they do) they close, so call first if it's later on in day.
Best donut I've ever had. The best way to describe the experience is you eat the donut and you immediately feel like it's 6am on a cold winter morning with a cup of coffee or tea watching the snow fall with a donut in hand from this place. (You can probably tell im from Tennessee) Genuinely loved it. Highly recommend it
