Where Can You Get the Best Donuts and Bakery Goods on Your Florida Gulf Vacation?

When you’re on vacation on Anna Maria Island, there are plenty of delicious restaurants that you should look out for. But between indulging in fresh local seafood or grabbing a delicious cup of coffee at a cafe, you might find yourself in the mood for a warm baked good like a donut or pastry.

Well, you’re in luck! There are plenty of great places to get donuts in Anna Maria Island and the surrounding towns, never far away from our Anna Maria Island rentals.

On the island’s south side in the city of Bradenton Beach, Island Donut Company offers made-to-order donuts every single day as well as a wide variety of specialty coffees courtesy of the Back Alley Coffee Shop. While this is the only bakery on the south side of the island, simply head to the northern end for even more options. The city of Anna Maria is the northernmost city of Anna Maria Island. It has several excellent options for grabbing a donut.
