Handmade with care and premium ingredients, Lincoln City Donuts And Coffee draws early-morning crowds and sells out fast.
There’s no sleeping in if you plan to score one of the wildly popular pastries at Lincoln City Donuts and Coffee. This small-batch shop opens at 7 AM, and more often than not, the shelves are wiped clean by 8:30. That’s not a gimmick, it’s just what happens when donuts are this good, handmade, and have serious local fanfare.
Get Up Early To Snag A Donut At Lincoln City Donuts And Coffee
Located along Highway 101, Lincoln City Donuts And Coffee has quickly become a go-to stop for those craving something beyond the usual glazed fare. It’s not just about taste, though there’s plenty of that, it’s also about the passion and care that goes into each batch of donuts.
Each donut is made entirely from scratch using top-notch ingredients like imported Italian flour and hand-ground spices. Even the cinnamon and nutmeg are grated fresh, giving the dough a flavor that’s rich, warm, and unmistakably unique.
Their apple fritter gets a lot of love, and for good reason. It's a satisfying mix of tender apple chunks, subtle spice, and that ideal balance of crisp and chewy. Some say it’s the best they’ve ever had, and not just in Oregon, but anywhere. Another favorite is the Boston Cream, loaded with real vanilla bean custard and topped with smooth, not-too-sweet chocolate. Then there’s the lemon glaze, which finishes with a bright citrus note that keeps you coming back for just one more bite.

Fans of more playful options can try the Fruity Pebbles donut, which somehow captures the exact flavor of that sweet cereal milk at the bottom of the bowl. Or how about a Samoa or S’mores-inspired treat, both expertly layered with nostalgic flavors and a little extra fun?
Even with a line out the door, guests consistently find a welcoming vibe and friendly face behind the counter. The owner is often praised for going out of his way to make people feel appreciated, and the customer service matches the high quality of the pastries.
Tip: To ensure you get some delicious pastries, show up early. On busy days there can be a line at the door up to fifteen minutes before they open!
