Lickin Good Donuts
I am dreaming of Lickin Good Donuts as I write this post. I can honestly say they have some of the best doughnuts we have enjoyed in Alabama and across the country.
They are so fresh and taste amazing. We also love the variety of options you can choose from. Whether you love an apple fritter or bacon maple bars, you will find the perfect doughnut.
We were excited to see the wide variety of kolaches available during our last visit. You can try a Boudin kolache, regular kolache with Conecuh, smoke cheddar sausage kolache, jalapeno cheddar sausage and more!
They also offer breakfast biscuits and croissants with sausage or bacon, egg and cheese. Make sure to go in early so they are not sold out!
Stop by and enjoy a sweet treat in the restaurant or grab a dozen or two for takeout. Trust me when I say you are going to want to buy more than you think you will need.
We bought extra and were amazed at how great they tasted the next day. So good!
Now that we live in Gulf Shores I will admit this is one of our favorite stops for a quick breakfast and heavenly treats.

Indoor Seating
There is seating inside perfect for relaxing in the air conditioning with a sweet treat.

Outdoor Seating
There is great outdoor seating with tables and chairs lining down the walkway. We really enjoy relaxing outside and soaking in the Gulf Coast weather.
