Breakfast and brunch are a big deal on the Emerald Coast, but what if you want to grab a quick bite before you explore the area? This is when a simple donut is your best bet: an indulgent treat you can enjoy on the go. There are a few donut shops worth visiting in the Pensacola area, but nothing is quite like Breeze Donuts and Kolaches.
It’s a bit out of the way from Pensacola’s top attractions, but this donut destination is definitely worth the trip if you also want to check out the gorgeous views at the Naval Live Oaks Nature Preserve.
Simply gazing at the vast selection of donuts can be a delight, although some visitors will find it difficult to choose between these enticing options. There really is something for everyone: simple glazed and chocolate glazed donuts, plus fancier options topped with Oreo crumbles or Fruity Pebbles, for example.
Specialty donuts are also frequently on display for the holidays: why not try a donut adorned with a Peep for Easter or a heart-shaped donut for Valentine’s? There is always something new to try at Breeze Donuts and Kolaches, so feel free to make a return trip so you can check out the latest offerings.
Donuts and kolaches may be the main attractions, but there are plenty of other options worth trying. Croissants, breakfast burritos, and breakfast sandwiches are sure to satisfy and make for the perfect donut alternative when you need something a bit more hearty.
This is also a great place to get caffeinated before embarking on a busy day in and around Pensacola: iced coffee is always available, and flavors such as brown sugar are enticing. Those who prefer tea will be pleased to find delicious options, ranging from passion fruit to honey dew and even coconut cream.
A few of our favorite menu items at Breeze Donuts and Kolaches include the following:
Apple Fritters
There is nothing quite like a classic apple fritter — and this is a definite highlight at Breeze Donuts and Kolaches. Regulars rave about this delightful treat and its crispy edges. These apple fritters are sizable, so consider sharing them with a friend.
Maple Bacon Donuts
Sweet but with a hint of savory flavor, maple bacon donuts provide the perfect option for adventurous types who want to go beyond the usual glazed donut. If you don’t love the idea of bacon on your donut, you can always opt for the maple-only version.
Jalapeno Kolache
Do you crave a hint of spice? If so, a jalapeno kolache will be sure to satisfy. You won’t find this memorable option just anywhere, so it is definitely worth trying when visiting Breeze Donuts and Kolaches, if you want to get out of your kolache comfort zone. Have your kolache warmed up to elevate the experience.
Croissant Sandwiches
While Breeze’s sandwiches are available in both croissants and bagels, there is something special about the croissants (which can also be enjoyed on their own). These include egg and cheese but are also available with bacon or sausage.
Whether you are craving a delicious donut or a unique kolache, you will find something to love on the menu at Breeze Donuts and Kolaches. Stop by for a special treat and a friendly ambiance.
