Donut Connection may not be the most impressive place at first glance--it's a little outdated and nothing fancy--but let's be real, you're here for the donuts, and they do not disappoint! The donuts are fresh, soft, and full of flavor, with a great variety to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for a classic glazed, a rich filled donut, or something with a little extra crunch, they've got it covered. My go to is their Bavarian donut! Prices are reasonable, and while the shop itself isn't anything special, the donuts make it absolutely worth the visit.

The everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese is Great and the price is very affordable not to mention the coffee is out of this world and you gotta throw on the coconut donuts

Fresh made donuts! Never too busy when I've gone, but you must go early or they'll sell out of your favorites. Their red velvet donut is divine!!! This small shop has only a few booths so it's definitely more of a drive thru place. I make sure to get donuts from them whenever we have guests visiting as their Welcome to Gainesville treat. :)

If I were to review on donut flavors alone it's an easy 5. But not gonna lie the place does look a little worn down, but once you get passed that oh my! It's my favorite assortment of classic donuts. They're not out here selling you $5 donuts that come with cereal on top. Just flavors you know that taste excellent at a reasonable price. I will never say no to a donut connection donut that's for sure.

Since living in Gainesville for the past 7 years, I cannot believe that I have yet to try this local donut shop! I stopped by for the first time in the morning and was very satisfied with how fast and efficient the drive through was. As you can see, Donut connection's assortment of donuts is extensive with some of my favorites being the red velvet, maple, and apple fritter. If you want some classic and traditional donuts, definitely try this place out!

Interesting variety of donut flavors (like Honeydew). Definitely worth trying a half dozen for a nice variety, and they are sweet but dense, so definitely different from your chain donut store. I do wish they had the menu on their site. It's convenient they have a drive thru, but it was hard to look over the rather long menu in a socially etiquette drive thru time. I like to look over options without holding everyone up. Also got an egg sandwich on an everything bagel, which was good, so don't shy away from the other non-donut menu items. A solid place for some breakfast treats.

I came in here as I had an hour or so to kill while waiting for a friend and didn't want to drive all the way to my favorite spot Bageland. The parking area is small and so is the building but it's cozy so I really liked that. Walking in it smelled of fried dough which is always a good thing. The service was quick and friendly. You simply walk in and place your order at the counter. The doughnut selection was pretty good I wished they had a chocolate glazed doughnut but I went with a bagel and a Boston cream with coffee. The doughnut was meh it had very little filling mostly just dough. The coffee was hot but nothing special other than the grind on the bottom and the bagel was what you would get most places though Bageland has bigger bagels fr less money. There wasn't anything amazing about this place. But the service was great, food fresh and hot. Prices average. I will say my usual place has a bigger bagel with better coffee for a smaller price but this one was really good too. I think what truly made this place special was that it gave me a mom and pop type feel. Overall I would return just because I liked my service and I liked that the doughnuts are made in house.

Donut Connection is a donut chain with a Gainesville location on 39th. The location has been there a while and it shows, it feels almost stuck in the 90s but I think that's part of the charm and I love it. They have your standard options: donuts, bagels, sandwiches, and coffee. Their donut variety is great and I always have a hard time choosing. My favorite is red velvet! They have wonderful, cheap iced coffee and flavored syrups. If you're looking for donuts, give them a shot!

I love donuts espicially from a mom's and pop's place because they're so unique. I frequent this location often. I personally do not like the breakfast sandwiches. There are very few donuts that I enjoy from here. Most of the donuts are basic and don't stand out. The double chocolate cake donut is delicious but my all time favorite is the peanut butter donut. It you love peanut butter and jelly this is the donut for you. It's got the perfect ratio of peanut butter and rasberry jelly packed tightly in the hole of each donut. I say why pack a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch when you can have a peanut butter and jelly donut!
