Tried Shaka donuts today and we had a delicious experience. My boys were amazed by all the colorful creative selection of donuts they had. We tried a few flavors with the wipe out and the OG being our favorites. It was super clean and the staff was kind and ready to answer any of my boys many questions. Thank you for great experience we cant wait to come back.

Loved the donuts the texture of the dough. Not to sweet and not too heavy. Soft on the bite and the bostone creme made it exact to the taste. And the employe Jena + the atmosphere made it a plus

We came here for the first time and fell in love with the quality and taste of this donut. The taste was perfect. There wasnt any bloated or heavy feeling after eating them. They werent over sweet and the toppings had the perfect ratio to donut size making it a delicious, enjoyable donut. Its a must have for sure. Jenna treated us so nice and polite. She was very friendly and recommended by my needs.They should have more locations.

The base of these donuts is great. Very light and fluffy, however I hate to say it but they were lacking flavor in my opinion. I didn’t feel like much of the sweetness came through in the toppings. The presentation is great, staff is friendly, and the restaurant is very clean, but unfortunately these donuts just didn’t do it for me.

Wow! Were visiting from out of town and I wanted to check out a local donut place. These might be the best donuts Ive ever had. The dough is super light, and the flavor options are really interesting. My only regret is we didnt get more donuts to try. The aloha fritter is particularly delicious. If you like tropical flavors I highly recommend. Also, the house blend coffee is fantastic. I was pleasantly surprised that they had oat milk for it as well. Wish we lived closer!

Cool little spot near the intersection of Michigan and Orange serving Hawaiian/Polynesian inspired donuts and excellent coffee — in short, I am in loveeee.Service was chill - Brandon, our donutista, offered great suggestions, wore a mask, and made pleasant company for a sluggish morning.Parking is easily accessible heading East on Michigan or from the Advent building on Orange, which backs up to the shop.Prices are comparable to other hand-crafted donut spots and perfect for a quick breakfast run.They’re opening up an ice shop next door in the near future and I’m already excited!

I dont make my way up to Orlando that often, but I will for these donuts!The service from the staff was wonderful.My favorites so far have been the Big Island and Pua. The spam, egg and cheese sandwich was also pretty scrumptious.Ill be back for the malasadas!

First time here, and wont be my last! Found this place by googling donuts and so glad we took a chance on this place. Associates are super friendly.

This place is fantastic! I drive past here weekly and have never been. I even asked for the print out receipt so that I could remember all the goodies in the box! They even have seasonal doughnuts such as the Lemon Poppy which I am excited to try. The server at the time was fantastic and actually has a decent singing voice 👌. You cant beat it. Great shop, great treats, great people.

Brandon! Dude you’re the reason I come almost every other day for that bacon 🥓 egg 🍳 and cheese 🧀 donut 🍩 sandwich it’s 🔥! I have all my employees begging me to take them all the time…. Specially because you actually know how to make one!!!!! You the man bruvvvvv

Great place! Egg and cheese on a glazed donut, perfect balance of salty and sweet.

We are SO HAPPY they are OPEN! 💕. Staff was so helpful and loving the new set up (Doughnuts made fresh daily. Quality is definitely higher and so Delicious!

HOW DID I NOT DISCOVER THIS GEM SOONER? I’m pretty upset that I didn’t find this place sooner, but better late than never 🤷🏽‍♂️.The place is so modern-themed, which is cool ✌🏽. The young lady that helped us was helpful, welcoming and kind.The donuts? CRAZY DELICIOUS, not to mention they’re made fresh-to-order! Warm, right-kind-of-sweet, cool flavor combos, and a texture sent from heaven. I’ve tried many chain and private owned donut shops around town, and honestly none compare to what I tried for the first time today, hands-down, in my book I’d vote and call this THE BEST DONUT IN ORLANDO! 🍩

I love it, not that big into donuts but they have great coffee and on the weekends they make an everything bagel donut and if you get that with the bacon egg & cheese its freakin phenomenal! I will include a picture to make your mouth water!

Excellent donuts, light, fluffy, not too heavy and not super sweet. They have very innovative styles and flavors that you dont find anywhere else! Definitely will come back here!

I really wanted to like this place but I was very disappointed in the donuts I had ordered for Easter. It was my first time coming here, I ordered 2 boxes of their special peep Easter donuts, I paid $57.51 for 12 donuts. They were suppose to be ready at 8 am, they were not ready when I got there. I didnt leave there until 8:36am, no problem I understand things happen. The donuts were very doughy and were not sweet, they were suppose to be 4 with filling but there wasnt much filling at all. Nobody in my family really cared for any of them, we were really disappointed.

Absolutely amazing donuts 🍩 to say the least. They have several custom made donuts. All the donuts are cooked and decorated fresh made to order. The prices are great they also have delicious coffee and espressos. Definitely check out this spot. All the employees are courteous

Great service. Hard working employee behind the counter who was very nice. Unique donuts that are Hawaiian themed. Taste delicious. Also their vanilla latte was amazing. Definitely recommend checking them out

This place is always out of so many things. The past 4 times weve tried to go theyve been out of so much and one time they even closed early, this was about noon time because they ran out. This place is good if only they would learn how to properly stock and order food. Id give it 5 stars they would just improve that issue. Why even stay open until 6 pm if they run out of so much halfway through the day. So definitely called ahead if you dont want to be sad when you arrive.

This place was being advertised with a giant black road sign that just said Shaka. So when I found out it was going to be a donut shop, we just had to try it out and we are so glad we did. The donuts looked so delicious on their menu we decided to try them all. Staff was welcoming and friendly and the donuts are prepared while you wait. We cant say one was a favorite because we loved them all! Definitely recommend you try Shaka and get your fill of yummy goodness. You wont regret it! We will definitely be returning for more!

Amazing barista, extremely friendly. Highly recommended!

Great new addition to the area!Donuts made to order with many toppings available....These are cake donuts and this is made to order....not a quick place to pick up a dozen if there is a line....Sit, relax, and your donuts will come to you hot and boxed for your enjoyment!

Excellent service, the staff is so friendly and I love their donuts they are the best!! 100% recommended 😊🤙🏼

Fun little spot for donuts. Staff is always so friendly.

Took my kids to Shaka Donuts this morning as a special treat. I am not a big sugar person, but I have to say, all the flavors were on point! Really tasty and made fresh when ordered, which made them that much more delicious! Also, the gal who made the donuts for us was super friendly and sweet and very patient with my sons questions :)The favorites: Aloha (the pineapple drizzle was amazing), Coco-nuts & B-A-N-A-N-A-S (my husbands favorites), Beach Bum, and of course Rainbow Bomb (the kids favorite). Would highly recommend visiting this place!

First time here this morning and I loved it. I met several regulars who gave me some great tips on what to order. Staff was polite and professional and the place is spotless!

Loved my experience getting these donuts. The top one is a guava cream filled. So delicious! The bottom one is a malasada, filled with coconut. They only have them on Wednesdays and Saturdays so make sure you get them!

Great donuts, my usual stop. I treated my family and office alike weekly to these treats for months. Until now. New ownership? Been in FIVE times in the last 2 weeks and order is wrong every time. Make sure you check your order before you leave and speak slowly. Talk any more educated than a 5th grader and the young woman at the counter will suddenly become a flopping fish and take a trip to space. She is the only one I’ve seen lately, God help her if she is the new owner, might be high as a kite when you go in and new dough recipe heeds undercooked, underwhelming donuts. Her ice shop employees must be related, dumbfounded and glazed over when taking your order. Incompetent help leads to taking home donuts with toppings that I specified my husband was allergic to

Uh-mazing. Cooked to order fresh hot donuts. Do yourself a favor and experience this for yourself. So many options to choose from.

I had two donuts and a cold brew. Their donuts are made to order (they fry them after you order) so they come out fresh and warm! I got an original glaze and a samoa (caramel icing, coconut flakes, chocolate drizzle). The donuts have a fresh out of the oven, cake-like consistency, and they are flavorful and slightly crispy. I wish that they were a little fluffier. I think they dont rise as much as a regular donut because of the quick frying process. However, this makes them seem ever so slightly undercooked. Im sure theyre cooked enough, but this is just my preference.I had the cold brew with oat milk and 3 pumps of caramel and it was good.Just an FYI, they do not have WiFi. All things considered, I would say the place is worth checking out.

Super tasty, freshly made donuts. Lots of options on the menu, many delicious combos. My son loved watching the donut robot so its thing, and of course pointing out the toppings. Staff was very friendly too.Couldnt get a picture before the family descended on them at home - they listed seconds on arrival.

I wouldnt say Im a wide reaching donut connoisseur by any means, but Ive tried my fair share, especially here in Orlando. Ive always been a diehard Donut King fan, and Voodoo Donut is special, too. Both of them, along with Valhalla, Salty Donut, and all other local donuts spots have to move over, though - these are the best donuts in Orlando. Theyre maybe a touch short on toppings on some of their donuts given the thick fluffiness of the base donut, but who cares? The texture of that base donut is unlike anything Ive ever had. Spectacular. I got a salted caramel, sour cream, a pineapple fritter, and a few others I cant remember the names of. All phenomenal.I generally think of donuts as a relatively cheap breakfast option, good to pick up as a relatively affordable treat for the family. The price is REALLY high (no discounts whatsoever on volume [i.e. lower per donut price for one dozen], which is a bit off-putting; all donuts are priced individually at an average of probably $2.50-3.00 per donut), so this wont be a frequent stop for me. But when you create something this delicious, who can blame them for their high prices? These are art in donut form, and Im definitely looking forward to my next eventual visit.

Good donuts a little over price for the size

Definitely the best Donut I have ever had! People are sooo nice! Yummm will be back.

It is great to see a place like this that isn’t just another big chain. We ended up getting six donuts. Some to eat now and a few to bring home. There were just so many that looked interesting.

Went there on their first day was a great donuts I love this new addition to the Sodo district hope to come back and try some of the coffee and breakfast sandwiches soon.

Fresh donuts made right in front of you. Crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside. The best donuts in Orlando for a great price!

Best donuts in Orlando, hands down. The Big Kahuna with spam will knock your socks off!

The donuts were wonderful. They felt so fresh. My husband got the bacon, egg, and cheese donut sandwich. It was one of the most delicious breakfast sandwiches weve ever had.

Amazing fresh doughnuts. Super friendly staff. Doughnuts themselves are made to order with whatever topping you choose, different then any pre made place.

Fresh as can be. Fun flavors. Clean space.

I somehow had the strength to only get one donut while here. Place looked very clean, service was great, and selection was excellent.

The sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was amazing. Also the Apple fritter was 💯. I will be back for the malasada.

These donuts are made fresh to order which is great. They come in unique toppings and flavors for a reasonable price especially since they’re handmade every time. They’re warm, crispy and and the first bite is delicious.The reasons why I left out two stars were the following: There is a long wait time and they suggest to order ahead to pick up because they make them by hand in the moment. We didn’t know about this until we drove there and saw the sign on the front door. Also, the texture reminds me of carnival donuts but supersized. It’s not your typical doughy donut, I think that’s why I could only handle eating one - it’s overly sweet and too oily since they are deep fried. I got 3 donuts for myself out of the half of dozen and could barely get through the first one which was the OG donut. I would probably come here one more time, and to only get one donut.

Really nice place! Friendly workers and tasty donuts!

Sometimes you go somewhere on a whim and have a life changing experience. Today is about Shaka Donuts.Atmosphere: The inside is a very attractive millennial bakery scene: white walls, light wood table tops, black hardware. The coziness comes from the warm welcome you receive by walking into the store and interacting with the people behind the counter. They will walk you through every donut and give their own suggestions!Taste: A sweet donut is a sweet donut but this shop’s specialty is in their savory options. On the weekends they serve the Errthang which is an everything bagel with cream cheese but on an unglazed donut. This is a game changer, the taste of the everything seasoning mixed with the pure fluffiness of the donut is an otherworldly experience.The second time I went I got the jalepeño business which are savory jalepeño donut holes that you dip in a chipotle aioli and they are SO addicting. This place is so good I hesitate to tell anyone about it because I kind of want to be greedy.Price: varies by donut, most of them are in the 2-3 dollar range. These are specialty donuts and they truly are special.Also I ate all my donut so like I didn’t have anything to show for it

Super yummy and I loved the selection. They close when they are sold out so if you see that Open sign then pull in!

This was my first visit. The donuts were very tasty. However, during the visit, I noticed that one of the workers was handling an ingredient for making a drink without gloves. I notified the cashier who immediately brought the matter to his attention and the employee quickly donned gloves for the preparation of other drinks.I would like to recommend that the owners/ managers ensure that all staff are adequatey trained to handle food items in a manner that is hygenically appropriate.

Wow! I love this place. My wife and I just stopped in to see what it was like and I was blown away. I had the Big Island donut and my wife had the one with fruity pebbles. They tasted great and were freshly baked. My hot chocolate was tasty and the price on everything was right too. The staff was friendly and helpful too. We will come back!

The long awaited Shaka Donuts is finally open!! We were first in line this morning to check out these tasty lil donuts and were not disappointed! The menu boasts 14 different topping combinations, 3 breakfast sandwiches, and tons of coffee/espresso drinks. At the center of it all are delicious little freshly made cake donuts that are light/fluffy but have a nice crisp to them.We ordered 4 donuts - Samoa, PUA, Wipe Out, & Mayor Buddy Dyers Nutty Buddy. All were very enjoyable, with Wipe Out (fruity pebbles - yum!) & Mayor Buddy Dyers Nutty Buddy being the standouts. My only suggestion for the PUA donut would be more bacon (seriously can never have enough!). Cant wait to come back and try more donuts!

Totally recommended, really nice and clean place & absolutely delicious 🍩... Before I get to my car minus two on that box.

Id give 6 stars if they had a branch west of John Young. (Were not allowed to give 6 stars; I know.) Artisan donuts done right. Took me 4 months to get out here, worth the wait. Yum.

I visited this store today and it looks super nice and appealing until you walk in, the small dark screens towards the opposite end of where you are suppose to start your order makes it hard to know what they sell, and because we didn’t know what to order we had to ask, the problem was that we asked Amy, who was probably tired and had no patience for first timers, she basically kicked us out without saying get out. I left without trying the doughnuts, I feel bad for the owner who put a lot of money in this place and it’s basically racing to zero if he keeps this kind of employees.

I like the old way they did it. Made the donuts fresh to order. That where hot and good. Now that make them all hours before you order them and left at room temperature. I could get that at any donut shop. SAD!!

Delicious hot and fresh donuts. Super yummy and melt in your mouth bites. Favorites are the salty and the heavy Reeses pieces masterpiece.

Shaka donuts are the best donuts in Orlando!! I couldn’t wait for this place to open because I had to try it and I’m so happy that I did. The donuts taste very light and airy which I really like, also it doesn’t taste like a pound of sugar which makes it less regretful to eat😊. I Gave only 4 stars because I ordered off of Uber eats and for the life of me I could not locate the menu with all the donut flavors and because Shaka’s website is still in the works I couldn’t locate it there either. I had to search several websites on google just to locate the menu. I almost gave up but because I really wanted to try these donuts I did not give up lol and I’m happy I didn’t. I will definitely be ordering here again.

This place is amazing! Fresh delicious donuts everyday and great coffee too! If you havent tried their sausage egg and cheese on the Everything but the Bagel Seasoning Donut you are missing out on a game changer!!

OMG!! SO AMAZING!! The ice is amazing, the dole whip is amazing! I LOVE LOVE LOVE SHAKA!🤙🤙🤙

If your looking for an awesome place to grab a specialty doughnut, you found it! My picky 4 yr old even said these are much better than the fast food doughnuts we usually get(you know who you are). Service here is top notch, appreciate all of their excellent suggestions.

Yummy donuts. Pretty pricey for donuts, but they tasted sooo good freshly baked. I especially liked the coconut pineapple donut.

Service was awesome and the donuts are amazing. I will be back to try the donut breakfast sandwiches!

Amazing and delicious Donuts. 1000% recommended. Super fresh. I touched the sky !!!04/24/2021. Happy customer!!

Omg!! Walked in for the first time and loved it! The fruity pepples doughnut was very delicious! Im definitely going back

First time visitor, I was excited to see the Shaka sign from Hawaii, and even more excited to know they serve malasada’s, however, they weren’t as tasty as the ones in Hawaii, just ok, needed more sugar, and they should be served warm 🤙🏽.

Such a cool doughnut spot. One of a kind. The doughnuts are made right in front of you. And unlike most donut chains, this place ha personality and you are able to customize your doughnuts many different ways. The fruity pebbles and Reece pieces doughnuts are a definite must have.

That donut was so good that I forgot to take a picture of it before it was a smattering of crumbs on my tray. It was freshly-made, warm, moist, flavorful, and so soft that you could barely pick it up. It was everything you’d want in a donut.

The doughnuts were really good. Im just not sure they are worth the price. We got half a dozen and 2 coffees for $28. Definitely a luxury treat best as a to go order. I found the space to be cold and echoing and the flow was weird. The menu was by the cash register and the line was wanting me all the way on the other side of the room. Its like you cant see the menu until youre ready to pay. As I stood there perusing the menu, I was even told that I wasnt in line.

Probably everyone already knows about this place. I’m usually slow on the uptake. I discovered it today and I LOVE ❤️ it! The coffee was smooth and strong. Great donuts 🍩 but I had to buy three as I couldn’t make up my mind! 😃

I went in this afternoon to check out the new donut shop. I grew up near a Krispy Kreme so thats my standard. I like Dunkins and Bakery Plus cake donuts too. I usually dont do negative reviews but if what I was served is what they expect to grow their business on good luck. The donut was crisp on the outside and uncooked inside. Took one bite and asked for box hoping once cool they would be better. Not much better, and icing soaked into cake. No need to go back. Donut shop down Michigan much better. Good breakfast sandwiches there too.

Excellent (and unique) donuts. The staff (possibly the owner) were very nice and helpful.

Delicious unique donuts! The passionfruit marsalada is to die for, and the Hawaiian fritter is just as good.

Fresh donuts, innovative varieties, excellent friendly service.

This was my first visit to Shaka Donuts. It definitely will not be my last. The donut was so light the only way I knew there was a donut there was because of the glaze. So glad I chose Shaka for breakfast this morning.

Fresh gourmet donuts. My first time there and it wont be the last. Looking forward to my next visit.

What a great new spot!! We have been waiting for months for this place to open and been super excited for it! Finally saw them open their doors and were able to head in less than a week after their open.The parking lot is smaller, so it was a little challenging to get a spot as this place has had a popular opening (which is good news!). There was a line to order, which was fine as we needed to look over the menu of options. They have both handheld menus and a board that shows the options as well.We decided to get four different donuts to try out - Beach Bum, The OG, Big Island, and B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Our personal fave was the beach bum, which was super tasty as a sugar and cinnamon coated classic donut. I recommend them all though!The staff was very friendly and I love that you can see them make your donuts as they are ordered. Fun idea.Overall: AGreat new addition to the SoDo area and glad to have them in our neighborhood!

Doughnuts Are good staff is friendly Ill be back...

Delicious and super affordable craft doughnuts coffee and breakfast options! Highly reccomend!

Samoa Doughnut 🍩 Great flavor

Came late in the day, maybe 4 doughnuts left so bought one. The person selling was helpful, friendly, and generous. Included a bonus doughnut of a banana batch that the filling hadnt thickened enough. Both doughnuts were delicious. Would definitely go again!

Cake donuts made fresh when you order! We ordered to go and brought them home to eat. Since the donuts are hot when topped the toppings dont all stay looking picture perfect, but they are pretty and taste delicious. My favorite was the toasty-if you are a fan of a maple donut you will love it. A nice treat to have unique hot fresh donuts for breakfast! Highly recommend trying this place out.

Amazing donuts! My suggestion is to try them all! Not overly sweet, super fresh! Every time I’m in. town I will go to See Brandon for my donuts! Thank you !

Donuts made fresh as you order. Dough was real good and plenty of toppings to choose from.

Fresh made donuts!Lots of places in Orlando make food look cool and trendy, but once you eat it, you realize its not that great at all.As a hard food critic, I have to say Shakas donuts tasted just as good as it looks. I didnt even get to eat the donuts warm and they were delicious. Look forward to eating it fresh next time!

Awesome, attentive service. Clean establishment. Delicious donuts! Brandon was especially helpful, knowledgeable- Definitely not your average donut shop. Thank you ! Can’t wait to be back.

Donuts were very good, presentation and service was poor

A delicious variety of donuts that sell out quickly! Seriously, they will sell out before closing, and have a limited selection towards the end.Personal favorites include the buttermilk bar and Wheres the rum gone, which is an amazing filled donut.

So Im a visitor here in Orlando and I was passing by this place and I decided to try a local place. I tried the ruddy buddy it was fantastic and I also got the I believe it was called the spam egg & cheese and it was outstanding. I definitely recommend trying these two I also was surprised by the quality of the food it seemed like a homemade baking. So 10/10 they actually deserved it!.

Good selection and friendly staff...clean facility...a little pricey but worth it

This place rocks! Coffee is amazing and so is the food. Service is killer too. Such a great addition to the SoDo area. Give them a try.

I’ll talk about Shaka after.First we have to address Charlie.This is the best employee I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Charlie doesn’t need a raise or a high five. He needs to be on the commercial and have his own store. Wildly fast, extremely efficient, attentive, intelligent and on top of all that he makes the meanest donut I’ve ever had and donuts are my favorite food group. He handled the entire store 6+ orders alone was beyond happy to do it, and my donut was so good I almost cried. Shaka is a fantastic establishment. Clean, modern, and fresh. 10/10 will recommend to everyone I know and I’m on my way there right now to get more donuts.

I got the random box from Uber Eats and all I can say is OH MY GOD. These are AMAZING!!! To my delight, there was a creamsicle one in there - my favorite flavor. Its like they magically just knew.

Terrible service, the manager Amy was very rude and was screaming at me because i asked about the sweet donuts and there were none... She definitely had a temper problem and does not know how to deal with customers.

Just a few donuts left and $2+ seemed a little pricey

Delicious, light, fluffy donuts with a good selection of flavors. Will have to come back for the sandwich and malasadas.

My boyfriend and I tried Shaka Donuts today and I can honestly say, they were the best donuts I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve tried a lot of basic and “fancy” donuts). Not only were the donuts made fresh to order, the dough is so light flaky.. not breaded like most donuts you’re used to. The ladies that were working today were so friendly. I give this place 5 stars and recommend everyone make it over to Shaka in Orlando.

I went to Shaka Donuts on Saturday, January 1, 2020, which also happened to be their first day in business. I was greeted with a crowd outside the door, and friendly staff who, despite being super busy, stopped to say hello. I knew it was their soft opening because they made an announcement on their social media and I admire that they had shortened hours in order to review their processes and fix any kinks along the way. This shows that they really want a good experience for the customers and don’t mind learning and growing along the way. The donuts were really good. They are more cake-like and not too sweet or greasy, which are great with a good cup of coffee. The flavors are tropical and light, nothing too overwhelming. As a customer visiting on day one of their business, I gotta say I’m really looking forward to visiting this place more. Seems like a fun place to go to for a treat with the kids or to enjoy a cup of coffee and donut before work or after school. We will definitely be back! I also want to add that these donuts are really tasty even the next day after being reheated. To me, that is key to a good donut!

First time visit, I am impressed. Donuts are made to order so it take a little time from order to delivery. The only way to describe the donuts is WOW, I order 3 different ones and they were fantastic. If you are in the area you need to try them.

The absolute best. Best doughnuts in Orlando. The wipeout is to die for.

I think I just ate real fresh donuts for the first time in my life. They are so light and perfect.My only complaint is if you get one of the egg donut sandwiches, the egg has no seasoning at all, like 0 salt even.

The manager Amy is a little entitled brat and harassed me and my kids ! She needs proper training on how to treat costumers! The price point is way to high and the quality is way to low to be treating people like that! #neveragain
