Growing up our KK had the HOT sign about every two hours. Stop at KK every Disney trip, any leftovers is doomed for KK donut/ breadpudding. I love their coffee in my special cup.

Our store was around the corner from our 135 acres of farm, gave a reason to ride the fence line. Tie up, climb the fence and buy a donut, then 3 more for the ride back. All evidence was gone miles before return. Rest of the fence never got checked.

I really don’t understand the draw when mostly men sit outside sucking down as much DD free coffee refills as they can acquire. It’s just coffee, but for many “FREE” is like an addiction.

Donut King is the absolute best I've had. When we go to our son's home in Longwood, he has a standing order for 3 Boston creams, 3 cronuts, and an apple and blueberry fritter. The cronut is without a doubt the best doughnut I've ever had, and everyone I know that I've given them to are hooked. It's a cross between a croissant and a donut. The bear claws don't suck either

I rarely eat donuts, but, when I do Publix made fresh every morning, mouth full of sugar anyway.

My wife and I have friends who come to the US twice a year from Germany. Once upon a time, we took them to the Donut King in Minneola for dessert after lunch and they absolutely loved the place. So every time they come over from Germany, we greet them with a dozen of their favorites from the Donut King. So now it can be said that Donut King now has an international reputation That's not bad for a local donut shop.

Default Donut King

Their store in Minneola (on Rt 27) is even better. They have about 80 different donuts and they sell mini White Castle-style sliders, too.
