    Best Donuts You’ll Ever Eat 🍩

    If you ever visit Ocean City NJ, you’ll miss out on the best glazed donuts in the universe if you fail to swing by Brown’s Restaurant right on the boardwalk. I’m pretty sure you’ll end up getting a bakers dozen.

    Donuts!

    Finally had the donuts that I have heard so much about. It was a plain cinnamon sugar but it was a good donut. I can see why people wait in line just to get one of these donuts

    stopped here at the donut window while riding bikes in the morning. Had delicious hot donuts and coffee. Quite a crowd even in off season mornings. Will return again.

    No. This restaurant closes in September as far as I know, then opens on weekends in the late Spring.

    Brown's is not "open all day". They are a breakfast venue. I suggest, you stop by via bike or while walking the north end of the boardwalk in the early morning. Most likely, there is a lineup at the donut window. You can ask... More
