    The Tatonut is unique because it is made with potato flour! The store says they are home to "the only real donut" and I have to tell you they may be right.

    These doughnuts are unbelievable. I would think about driving a couple of hours back to Mississippi to pick up another dozen.

    The family recipe that is used creates light, fluffy doughnuts that are unbelievable. Paired with gourmet coffee or espresso drinks, you have the perfect sweet treat.

    The Tatonut Shop is an Ocean Springs, Southern Mississippi icon for a reason!

    Make sure to check out the donut of the month!

    I can't wait to go back and order a donut hole cake which are perfect for birthdays, holidays, special occasions, or a sweet treat on a road trip to Mississippi.

    The cinnamon twists are my favorite but there are so many other options that it is hard to decide on just one favorite.

    • Maple iced cake
    • Pumpkin spice cake Blueberry cake

    Gluten-Free - I would double-check with the Tatonut shop. While they are made with potato flour I don't know if they also have regular all purpose flour in them.

    Vegan - Check with the store to see which options are available. They make everything in house.

    Vegetarian - The majority of doughnuts are vegetarian. Just look out for any with bacon on them.
