Charlie's Donut Truck

Located at Alys Beach, this place has great donuts. I mean the old-style, hand-made, kind that mean business. And from what I'm seeing business is great. You need to go early for the best selection. They have the classics and then some. The donuts are made in a bakery located in Bonifay called the Donutland Express and brought down to sell in the refurbished bread truck. If you have already tried them, then you know, if you haven't well you'll know soon.

...please don't tell me they're selling them for $3.75 each.

:lolabove:...and that they are not all covered in powdered sugar.
 
The donuts from Charlie's were great! They are open from 6:30 to 2:00 and appear to do a brisk trade. Prices were acceptable (about $1.00 each) and selection was large and varied. You could chose from many donuts with icing and filled donuts. They even had a "Canadian" donut with maple and bacon!
 
There is only so much you can charge for a cupcake or a donut, but when I think of someone getting up early in morning, mixing the dough, standing over hot oil, packing the product, driving it from Bonifay, displaying the product, etc. and when you walk up and order 3 great donuts, they say $2.85. Around here it is unheard of. Value for dollar it can't be beat. And let me tell you, many years ago I had a job making donuts, it is no easy task and you can never get all the sugar out of your ears. After the thousandth dozen it took years to get the taste for a donut back.
 
I love these donuts and my sons love them even more than me!! Can't wait to take a bike ride up there in the morning and get some!
 
Try the apple fritters at Thomas's Donuts on FBR right down from the Carrosel (ms). They are to die for. They also normally sell out of the fritters by 8AM. If you are lucky and get them warm they are tops. I love the Donut Hole also. Rosemary Beach's are ok if you don't want to make the drive. We just make an outing depending of what direction we want to go.....east or west!

So this truck just comes out of Bonifay offering doughnuts and competing against the other mom/pop businesses along 30-A. The ones that have to have public restrooms, parking, electricity, things of that nature. And everyone finds this quaint?

I have got to get me a big van.
