Charlie's Donut Truck

Charlie's Donut Truck in Alys beach may be the death of me!! (Or at least of my diet!!)

**avalon** · 05-29-2009, 09:02 AM

Do they make their own doughnuts? I get up early for fresh KKs at the Tom Thumb!

**seacrestgirl** · 05-29-2009, 01:39 PM

The doughnuts are fresh! Caleb told us they are made in the wee early morning and delivered to him! They are huge and fantastic! Not to mention that Caleb (AKA Charlie) is super nice and personable! This is the best addition to the East side of 30A in a long time! Just go and visit one morning so you can witness the mob of people coming to get their doughnut fix!!

These donouts rock! Huge, light and delicious. Congratulations to Charlie and Alys Beach on a great addition to 30A. Very cool truck to boot...

I saw this yesterday!

i LUV ME some dognuts!!

**Smiling JOe** · 05-30-2009, 07:49 AM

I heard much about the donuts. Word on the street is you better get there early, because there is a line, and they do run out!

Maybe I'll walk to get me some. How far do I have to walk to burn off a couple of donuts?

Running at a ten minute mile pace would be about 40 minutes to work off 2 dounuts. But who is counting!?

Farther than you would have to walk to get them!

I hope they're there in August. Any photos of the donut truck? I love the idea and it's right down the road from us. Reading this made my day.

Here's a great recipe for day old danish pastries that I learned when my family had a luncheonette when I was growing up (and we used up the left-over pastries).

Cut the pastry in half and put the halves together so the frosting is in the middle (like a frosting sandwich).
Grill both sides in a bit of putter in a frying pan with a little plate on time so that they get evenly grilled.
Eat it
Walk

or run up and down 30A both ways (I added that to the recipe because we didn't know about 30A when I was growing up)

Thanks, Jessifunn. I love the picnic table next to the truck, too. They thought of everything. I wish them success and we'll be sure to give them our business when we're there.

Jsut looking at the pic and reading the reviews makes me wanna jump on a plane. You know that means I must want one pretty bad.

**tistheseason** · 05-31-2009, 09:40 PM

They are yummy. . . we made our last stop this morning as we were heading out of town! Sigh. . . .

**SWGB** · 06-02-2009, 12:10 AM

I'm dieing over here, the combination of Jessifunn's photo and siggy line are killing me.

**midnightdriver** · 05-11-2012, 09:18 AM

Went down to Charlie's Donut Truck this morning around 7am...no line. Bought sour creme and cinnamon twists...they're good, but, sorry, no better tasting than Dunkin Donuts.....$8 for 6 donuts is no bargain either.

**groveral** · 05-14-2012, 07:05 PM

Quite honestly, that is one opinion. Many, many other people disagree with you-including me. I consider them far better than dunkin. Not even close. They are similar, to me, to Donut Hole, which is great.
Price? Come on, how many Dunkins price has to accommodate beach rental?

**ray** · 05-14-2012, 08:14 PM

wow thats $1.33 a donut. donut whole is like 85 cent and i thought that was high. ust can't pay that for one donut

**ameliaj** · 05-14-2012, 10:20 PM

You are paying for the convenience factor. Of course, given the option, I'd drive over to Thomas' in PCB. But like I said, at the beach, convenience goes a long way.:)

**Zebraspots** · 05-14-2012, 11:50 PM

$1.33 for breakfast is a 30a bargain!

**seanderson1027** · 05-15-2012, 01:19 AM

Finally someone has said what I've thought for a long time -- I didn't care one bit for Charlie's donuts either - cold, dry donut without any flavor -- no coffee either. Ish. Still trying to figure out the rave.

I won't stop there again.

**Abby Prentiss** · 05-15-2012, 07:22 AM

Does the truck even have an engine? sheesh that thing never moves. I wish Charlie would come to my neighborhood.

**beachmouse** · 05-15-2012, 08:42 AM

IMO, the best donuts in the broader area are Good Things Donuts in Crestview of all places. I used to have coworkers who would bring them in every so often. They're opening an outpost in FWB, and now we've just got to get them going further south and east.
