The donuts here are fresh and absolutely delicious. I bought a half dozen to share, and each one was outstanding. The salty dog was my favorite, the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Even better than the donuts? The customer service. Staff greets you with a smile, the menu is simple and easy to understand, and the prices are reasonable, especially considering that this is a vacation area. The orders are also ready in a blink, no extended waiting around. We’ll definitely be back for more.
Hands down the best donuts I have ever had. Not too dense, not too light. Perfectly delicious. The specialty donuts and the classics were equally well done. We were greeted outside by the owner who was very kind and informative. The shop is also very aesthetic. Excited to come back!
Love this place! Donuts are so fresh and wonderful although some are too sweet - but it does satisfy any craving. Would recommend the salty dog, my favorite. Kids love the ones with cereals on them. Service is great too. They want you to be happy with the food and they even were so nice to ask if we wanted the be brought some cups of water as we were sitting outside at their tables. That’s service above and beyond in my opinion.
I couldnt believe that I had not yet written a review of this place. I had to share how awesome this place is. I have long been fan of traditional Ocean City doughnuts (Browns, Oves, Dots, etc) but this place may have them all beat.The owner, Chris, is often in the shop and makes point of greeting people and helping them navigate the menu (no pun intended). Youcant go wrong with anything on their menu: each donut starts as a fresh, hot, fried cake donut and is then topped while you wait.I typically go for standard icing and sprinkles donuts but my favorite at Nauti is probably the Salty Dog because it is so unique! It is their take on a Maple Bacon donut but comes with Pork Roll instead - because New Jersey.Definitely check this place out. I think that this may be THE must-eat thing in Ocean City now. As the Boardwalk gets gobbles up by Jillys and the other couple families that own everything, Nauti Donuts is a reminder of what Ocean City used to be: small, family-owned business sharing what they love with vacationers and residents alike.
I cannot say enough good things about Nauti Donuts. My experience here was absolutely phenomenal. Everything here is made to order - which is just above and beyond what you can expect anywhere else. All the donuts come out piping hot and fresh. You just cannot beat that. I am a bit of a coffee fanatic being from NYC where the coffee game is at its peak and I can honestly say that the cold brew here in the top 3 that Ive ever had. And that includes my visit to Seattle a year ago in which I had some unbelievable locally brewed coffee. All in all this place is hands down just an experience you cannot afford to miss. Cant wait for the 2nd location to open down in Florida perhaps nearby Everglades. Call it Nauti by Nature?
The BEST donuts and the BEST service! Nauti donuts is the place to go. We walked in and the shop is impeccably clean, the staff (who are part of this family owned business!) took time to chat with us, and we got to watch our delicious donuts being made- hot, fresh, and whatever we wanted! I try donut places like this wherever I can find them- Nauti’s are the best donuts I’ve ever had.As I’m not a coffee drinker, I was happy that they have a nice tea selection (and offer almond milk at the sugar/creamer table!)
They had me before I got any donuts. Friendly welcoming staff. You could probably sell me a bag of dirt if you make me feel like you want me in your business. Lovely people. Fast service. And the Donuts....so good. Still warm. And they are the cake like donuts but so light and fluffy. Try them!
Wanted to come here all summer and today I finally made it.. I walked in and was a little overwhelmed by all the possible choices but the cashier at the counter was so helpful once he heard it was my first time there. I ordered a dozen to go which was made up of many varieties. I had a 45 minute drive home and they were still warm once I got there.. let’s just they were amazing and everyone in my house loved them. I will definitely be back the next time we are OC.
By far the best donuts around. I drive over an hour just to get.
The best fresh donuts. So many combinations to choose from, or you can customize your own. All four donuts that we got were amazing. Definitely ordering extras next time.
So glad we found this place! This will definitely become our regular spot for donuts. They make everything fresh. The place is very clean. Great customer service. We ordered the Nauti Dozen so we could try one of each. All of them were great! Even the pork roll one, I really didn’t think I would like it.
Most amazing donuts I have ever had. Warm and melt in your mouth. Hardly even have to chew. Could only be better if they were organic.
Nauti donuts has to be one of the best places to get donuts in OC. The donuts always look fantastic, have a nice crunchy outside and a super soft and fluffy inside. I always stop by here whenever I get the chance too. My personal favorites are the overboard donut and the jack dusty. These donuts are life changing. 100% recommend anyone to try these. I always get them for my friends when they come down. Thanks to the Nauti crew for always making such fantastic and delicious donuts!!
Very tasty and an incredible selection. 3 tables outside and 2 benches outside as well. Eating available inside too. Bike rack outside if you are in biking distance.
OMG!! Discovered this place way too late during our week stay. Next year I will be going here daily. Girls loved it, especially that you can create your own donut with the varied options they have on hand.
Hands down the BEST donuts on the island. (Coffee- iced lattes are a great add on too!) We’ve tried out all the places and between the delicious donut base (fluffy with the crisp on top) and endless topping options, you can’t beat it. The manager/owner is the nicest guy and always goes out of his way to greet customers. Between the delicious treat and top notch customer service, you’ve got to make Nauti Donuts part of your family traditions down at the shore!!
Great donuts (and coffee!) made and served by great people. Will be a happy repeat customer. Good job, Chris and team!
Best donuts ever--worth a day trip from Philly to have these warm, indulgent, made-to-order donuts! We enjoyed 4 flavor combos from the Nauti Dozen, but well be back to try creating our own. Their house blend dark roast coffee is also excellent. A few blocks from the boardwalk, so free street parking is possible. Seating inside, outside or take them to-go.
The donuts are fresh and delicious and the staff there are always very attentive and kind
Delicious! Wish we had found this earlier in our vacation. We would have been back every day. Excellent base donuts that you can then individually dress up with toppings. We thought the apple was the best topping, but I would eat the plain base donut all day long. Staff also very friendly.
First timer at The Nauti Donuts and it wont be my last. Lets start with this, the establishment is very clean and has a great atmosphere inside. Next the staff is very friendly and the donuts are hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend giving them a try as you wont be disappointed. Thanks for doing a great job 👍.
This concept should be illegal. Missing a visit or ordering less than a dozen donuts is not acceptable. You have to stop in and see this place. FRESH, right out of the cooker finished by TRUE ARTISTRY in flavor combinations you have to experience. Not what you expect from a donut shop... but in a very good way!
By Far the best Donuts in town! Try the Captains French Toast, its mouth watering. Might as well grab a milk while youre at it!
We walked over here on a Monday after finding out Bobs Express doughnuts only make doughnuts on the weekend. We got half a dozen for ~$13 (with tax). A bit overpriced because we only got chocolate glazed and 2 with rainbow jimmies. Most people get multiple toppings which I guess justifies the price. When you dont get the multiple toppings you still get charged the same amount as someone who does...so the price in my humble opinion was a bit much. They should have an option for getting plain donuts for a lower price.There are lots of topping options similar to Duck Donuts. Try it if you feel like eating lots of sugar.
Im ruined for other donuts now. These are hot and fresh and moist and crispy and made to order however you like. Ask about some of their favorite combos that arent on the menu like the stuffed french toast or samoa! Super friendly staff and extremely clean shop with nice outdoor seating. A must visit in OCNJ.
Absolutely wonderful experience. The interior is pristine, the staff attentive, extremely helpful, polite and thankful that you are there. On top of that, the donuts are incredible, served fresh and still warm. 10/10
Fresh donuts- got the “seagull’s favorite” and saw the donut being prepared with all the toppings right when you order it.
Fancy flavors but too sweet for me.
Incredibly good doughnuts not just because of the topping options but because they are hot and fresh. Will never go anywhere else for doughnuts when Im in OCNJ!!
Great donuts. Great cold brew
I have been in OC for 6 days and 4 of those days I came to nauti donuts. Hands down, the best donuts I have ever had and I consider myself a foodie. They are fresh, made to order, hot when I get them. Simply amazing. You have a great product with excellent customer service. I will definitely be back and most certainly will spread the word that nauti donuts are simply the best. Thank you!!!
This is not only the best donut in OC, but it is one of the best donuts I have had anywhere! Every donut is made fresh to order and you can tell the love they put into every order. I would also recommend getting the cold brew or nitro cold brew. The owner, Chris, and his staff are amazing people! I make sure to plan a trip here every time I am in OC.
Awesome donuts! We chose six of the Nauti Dozen to sample between four people. All were very tasty. The favorites were the Captains French Toast and PB and Jellyfish. I like that they have a sample box of the dozen on the counter for those waiting in line to look at (for those visual people, myself included!). We went over Labor Day weekend, so it was crowded and we had to wait a bit for them to make the donuts. However, they were still warm when we got home and worth the wait. Well definitely be back to try the other six!
The peanut butter and jelly donut is the best donut Ive ever had.
Worth every second
Warm donuts with plenty of options for toppings, coffee, and friendly service
This is always by stop by when in the area. By far the best donuts anywhere.
They have amazing glazed donuts. I would highly recommend this place!
Excellent donuts, very friendly staff.
These cake donuts are made to order. They will still be hot when you get them so eat them right away to get the maximum satisfaction. Coffee is excellent too! They do full-caf cold brew and were kind enough to ice my hot decaf and offer me a refill! Must check this place out if youre near Ocean City, NJ. Worth a drive and on street parking search!
Yum !!! I thought Federal Donuts were good but these donuts are great!!! I had the cinnamon sugar donut
I consider myself a donut lover and I always find/try donut places. I dont know how we missed Nauti Donuts when they opened last year! The donuts were delicious, served hot and made-to-order. Cake donuts are my favorite style. My husband is not a big sweets eater, but was pumped about the pork roll topping option! The staff were also very kind and friendly. To top it off, the iced latte and cappuccino were both good, too!
I believe it was the owner who helped us. He was extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome in the store. Everything was also very clean. It was a great experience before we even tasted the donuts and coffee which were delicious. We got the nauti dozen which were great but even the simple donuts with a glaze were amazing. We sat down to eat one outside and quickly decided we needed to go back and get even more to share with friends/coworkers. It was definitely worth the drive if you aren’t right in the area!
Great staff and even greater donuts :))
The new kids in the block have built themselves an immediate Ocean City institution. The store is pleasent and very clean. The doguts are incredibly delicious. You watch the team make them right behind the counter so they are as fresh as can be. The wonderful selection of toppings, glazes, and other delights is a ton of fun to mix and match. The owner himself came out to bring us free waters a couple of times with a smile. Please come support great family-run businesses like this! Youll love it.
Worth the drive from Strathmere every morning !!! I think that says it all .
Best donuts Ive had in SJ! 😍😋 Wish they had longer hours!!
Ran in 10 minutes before closing to be welcomed with warm and friendly smiles! Donuts were HOT and DELICIOUS! I was randomly in the area from quite a ways away but will stop in if I find myself in the Ocean City area again!!
Pumpkin donuts are amazing!
Awesome unique flavor Donuts that taste delicious 😋
Very delicious. The staff was very helpful and observant. The prices are good for what you get.
Great donuts, fun to create different ones. Staff is very friendly and keeps things moving along even when busy.
I was so full. ill return friends next time. prices are appropriate. food is similar to a cafe in portland i loved.
I asked for white cream donuts. I received a vanilla cake donut with liquid sugar on top. No cream what so ever. Over 2 bucks each. Had to wait in line for them.
These are the best donuts we have ever had...ever! I never thought I’d say there’s a donut better than our local Amish made donuts, but I’m saying it! They are truly amazing.
Amazing donuts. Friendly staff. The owner is the nicest guy ever and always makes sure you are satisfied with your order. I have turned a friend who disliked donuts onto these and now she will not stop raving about them! Whenever I am in Ocean City I make sure to visit.
If you want a very good cake donut, with a twist. This is the place! Staff is great.
The worse customer service I ever seen in this. Hello, this morning I called your store to order 40 dozen donuts. I asked you person working this morning why you didn’t have prices listed on your website. His response was we don’t but I can go over the prices with you. I said okay but you should list them on the website as with ordering in large quantities you as a customer want to have idea of what you will spend before you call. He then told me to go somewhere else and hung up on me which I did. I won’t be attempting ordering donuts from Natui again. You can thank whoever answered the phone this morning.
My family and I have been coming to Ocean City every summer for years, and decided to check out Nauti Donuts this year after seeing the billboard. I just picked up a dozen donuts this morning, and they are delicious! The chocolate iced with bacon is so good. The staff were very friendly, and they even showed me the donuts to ask if they were acceptable before closing the box. That is great customer service. I’ll definitely be back again next year. Great job!
I now have higher standards for donuts. best donuts i’ve ever had, period
Excellent donuts. Be prepared for a bit of a wait but theyre very good and fresh.
Man I know why these are called naughti donuts. They are ridiculously delicious and crazily high in calories. Make sure you take a bike ride or a beach run when youre finished eating them.
I absolutely love this place I used to go to Browns on the other end of the island, but I was here with my girlfriend a couple of times last year and most recently this weekend and we found our favorite donut shop anywhere. We both enjoy the lifesaver and seagulls favorite specialty donuts. Definitely going to be back again this weekend for another dozen. Cant wait to try the rest of the varieties and the new nitro brewed coffee. Keep up the excellent work I have recommended my entire family and friends to go here.
Fantastic! We tried several kinds of donuts and each one was delicious. The Salty Dog was my favorite for sweet and salty. Very kind and attentive staff. Highly recommend this new breakfast spot.
There are many breakfast options at the Jersey shore, but very few can compete with the smell of fresh donuts, and the environment found here. Every guest is greeted as they walk in by the friendly staff who all seem to be having a good time, and kids stare through the glass with huge eyes at the donuts being made. I highly recommend making a stop here on your next shore visit.
Chocolate With Shredded Coconut! Delicious! Just like back home!
Nauti donuts are the absolute best donuts Ive ever had! Fresh hot donuts made to order in front of your eyes! Chris & his wife are the nicest people you could meet. As soon as you walk in the front door, it feels like youre friends. Thanks Chris, and GO PHILLIES!!!
First time there and I purchased the Nauti Dozen for my family. We spent the morning having taste tests and debating on which was our favorite. In the end, they all are our favorites!!! Definitely will be back!!
Warm, delicious, made to order donuts in unique and fun varieties. The staff is very friendly, efficient, and helpful when I wasnt sure which donuts to pick. First time here and I will definitely be back.
I really liked this place me and my family went here and it was fun to try different donuts and also pick different ones i got to say the donuts are really yummy and tasty loved it !!!Also the guy Chris was really nice and helped us out and felt very welcomed and loved that he noticed we were new to the area I got to say amazing service and very nice place to visit as a group ...Also the two making are donuts made sure we saw them so we could take pictures of the donuts and all I got to say everyone there are very helpful and nice !!!Thanks so much for the help and making us feel welcomed
Best donuts on the face if the Earth and I work at a Donut place
Amazing experience both times since being on vacation. Their donuts are so fresh and yummy. Definitely will be a staple in OCNJ for years to come. My family and I will always come the weeks we are down the shore in the summer!! Thanks for the awesome donuts Nauti!
Donuts are amazing! My kids loved that they could make their own. We got the nauti-dozen which is a must your first time there to expose yourself to creations you wouldn’t normally get. The owners and employees are extremely personable and truly make you feel welcome. It’s a definite must while in Ocean City!
Their Nauti Dozen line up not only looks good but definitely tastes even better...People must make it a point to drop by here whenever they visited Ocean City...not your typical donut place, they will prepare everything as you order the dozen..and they also have choices of peanut butter free donuts...service is quick, all people inside are nice, place is clean...will tell our friends back here in Jersey City! Thanks
Well run business, real tasty donuts.
Absolutely amazing! I knew they would be good but had no idea they would be this good! This will become part of our routine when we make trips to OCNJ!
My family was looking for an upgrade in donuts from bobs on the boardwalk, wow did we find it. The donuts are like little cakes that you can customize the way you want. They arent too hot ... they are the perfect warmth and all the options are wonderful. We also met Chris (the owner) and his wife (and dog) and were really impressed with both the donuts and them as people. Try it out!! Local businesses like this are what make the world go round!
Amazing donuts and freshly made right in front of you! They were still hot and doughy from the fryer. I was most impressed by the bacon topped donut. At first it didnt seem to fit but it was super savory and tastey
Little pricey, but oh so good. I think its worth it.
Went for first time in 2019...couldnt wait to get back. Donuts are ridiculous delicious....like insane...Friendly service...its a no brainer.
First time here. Would definitely go there again. Store was clean. Staff was friendly.Donuts were delicious.
Soooo good! We visit OCNJ frequently with our young kids, and we love to try the sweets all around. Drip and Scoop is good, as is the Fractured Prune, but Nauti Donuts was just delightful. The mermaid donut with the fruity pebbles, strawberry icing, and marshmallow sauce was so sweet and made me feel like a kid again. Will definitely visit next time were in town.
Love the donuts here. The toppings stay on much better here. Good coffee too.
Make your own donut! Cold brew was great too. Only dinged a star because of the prices being a little steep
