Nicola's Donut Shop

Saturday 9/14/2024I first tried this spot back in 2022 and really enjoyed the donuts. I remember I had several different baked items from them but my main favorites were the fried Oreo, cronut, and fruity pebbles but I also liked the cinnamon roll & apple fritter. This time I got the fruity pebbles, fried Oreo, and the cinnamon roll. - the fruity pebbles donut was alright but it was definitely better last time.- The fried Oreo was decent at first but after warming it up it became really good. - The cinnamon roll was decent and became even better when I warmed it up.Although, I wasn't able to get all of my favorites, I can still say that this spot is still quite good and is definitely the best donuts I've had in all of Florida.

Such a cute little place located on the corner of N. Blvd and Busch. Walking in, I noticed how cute the place looks. There aren't places to sit, it's more of a grab and go place. There was a good selection of treats, even on a Friday when inventory is usually lower. The chocolate glazed donut was superb. To go along with our donuts, there was also the option for coffee, both cold brew or drip coffee. It was a perfect morning pick me up and way to start the day. And of course, buying here is a fantastic way to support a local business instead of a chain! Will be back!

Best cronuts, cinnamon rolls, and apple fritters in Florida, maybe the world? Call ahead or show up early because they sell out.

Nicola's has been a staple of my teens and early childhood. I love glazed donuts and occasionally frequent the confetti version of each donut shop I visit. But the original glazed sort of these soft clouds of joy will always be on the menu 1st. when I arrive.They push the donuts early (6:00 a.m. until about 1:00 p.m. or until sold out!! Tuesday-Saturday). They have a multitude of flavors: Apple FritterCinnamon RollCroissant (Cronut)Fried OreoFruity PebbleM&MMaple BaconPeanut Butter CupRocky RoadSamoaSnickers, cake donuts, etc. Personally I think the Cronut which is a combination of a croissant + the original glazed- is a must try. The cost is $3.00 for the Cronut. I would purchase a dozen for myself then a separate for your office/home...because the recipe remains the same from the beginning & the taste'll hit ya like a ton of soft bricks!!The building is small and usually the owner is working. She seems happy to see customers continue to come as they've been around for a very long time. Parking is in a plaza that they share with a barbershop and a few other businesses...it can be tight. Keep in mind they are on a busy corner off of Busch Boulevard.

This was a donut shop rated the top 4 in Tampa, so we had to try it. Maybe our mistake was showing up at 11 am, because there were only a few donuts left. There was such a small selection, that I ended up not ordering one, because I didn't like the selection, but my husband ordered a glazed. He said it was a good donut.I expected much more based on what I read.

Having read reviews submitted by two Yelp Elites who raved about the shop, I was looking forward to the experience.Unfortunately, we arrived in the late morning and there was virtually nothing left. I did have a glazed donut and it was good, but no where near the quality of many other glazed donuts that I have had in the past at other donut shops.

The donut shop is cute and simply decorated. The cashier ( maybe shop owner) was ready to take my order as soon as I walked in. I ordered six classic and six fancy donuts. The guava filled donut was my favorite. The Cronut and apple fritter were not overly sweet but they both had a "cold grease" after taste. Overall these donuts are worth a try if you are nearby.

My son wanted donuts for his birthday in his classroom. These are is favorite. We got them last year and he requested them again this year. I grabbed 4 additional donuts for birthday breakfast. I had the apple fritter and the photo doesn't do justice to how large it is. Birthday boy got the fruity pebbles and he was so excited and said it was his favorite donut ever. My younger son got the chocolate frosted and was very happy there was no sprinkles (he's on an anti sprinkle kick... I don't know, he's 6). The boys split the cinnamon bun and were upset I didn't get one for each of them, so that tells you how good it was The woman at pickup was super helpful and offered to help me carry them to my car since my hands were full. The shop itself is small but clean. Definitely stop by if you're looking for good donuts in Tampa.

I had never been here until last week. Cute old school vibe. I went in right at opening and the lady working there was very nice and knowledgeable about the donuts. She made good recommendations. I got a dozen and they were very affordable! And very delicious! I would 100% come back for more!

A true northern donut, not too much not too little. So good and fresh! I love the chocolate dip and the mini donut holes!
