Great donuts although only two flavors can be celiac safe, the cinnamon sugar was my favorite. No ill effects and will definitely be back! Drive thru line was quite fast

Best GF Donuts I’ve ever had! Almost all flavors can be made GF for non-celiacs!

I hadn't had a donut in like 5 years so I was excited so see this within walking distance of where we stayed. We carried donuts and coffee. It's technically after the beach season so there's not as many customers, which meant that there was no pressure to rush through safety stuff, like some recent reviews indicated. They asked if I had cross contam concerns and when I said yes they got my donuts from the back rather than under the counter. They only offer three GF varieties: plain (cake) donut, cinnamon sugar, and powdered sugar. The classics. My plain donut was good with the acceptably tasty coffee and the cinnamon sugar was my favorite.

Only 2 flavors that are guaranteed gluten free on the menu — powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar. I had the powdered sugar which wasn’t any better than the frozen Katz donuts.

Several gluten free options but only 3 that are claimed to be free of cross contamination. Those are the sand dune, big pearl and raw. Staff was friendly and pointed this out.

Very yummy gf donuts. I believe they have a separate fryer for gf donuts but can’t promise zero cross-contamination. Yummy nonetheless and a hidden beach gem!

Hubs drive out of our way to get their gluten free options. Happy that they were put in a separate box, but I was sad that the GF flavors were limited to basics: powdered, glazed and cinnamon sugar (I enjoyed this one best). Nothing earth shattering as Katz makes a frozen packaged donut of the same quality...will not revisit.

Based on other recommendations we tried the gf donuts today. Two of us have celiac so we only had choice of powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar. They were so good! No reactions. We will definitely be back!

It’s in the Gulf gas station and it’s drive through or inside. They immediately asked if for a sever allergy and the cinnamon and powdered sugar donuts are safe. For our gluten intolerant family member we tried out the glazed with rainbow sprinkles. Yay!

Excellent donuts. The employee explained only 2 types could be free of cross contamination. I had 4 of the kind that could have cross contamination as the GF donut was dipped in the shared glaze and toppings. I had no reaction. The pictures I’m posting are of the type where possibility of cross contamination exists.

Exceptional little place in the heart of downtown Bethany! Grab your donuts and head for the beach. They change gloves for GF donuts. Donuts are made fresh so they are warm and dripping with whatever topping you choose. Yes, even the GF donuts!! Also, they have açaí bowls and decent coffee.

The most delicious gluten free donuts! The waitstaff was very knowledgeable about which glazes are dipped in the same container as gluten donuts.

Enjoyed the gf donuts two times on our visit to the beach! We asked about their gluten free donuts. They asked if we had celiac or just were eating gluten free and we said celiac. Because of this they told us for celiac they have two flavor options to choose from which are made in a dedicated space each morning. They also changed their gloves and everything before handling our donuts and wrapping them up. The donuts were delicious!
