Ed and Barb Cream Donuts

We go get these tasty treats whenever we can. The first time I went to see what the hype was all about and now I see. Love it

One visit so far, to pick up a couple dozen assorted for my office. The doughnuts were delicious and not expensive. The place is open from 0500 – 1200, per the owner. Don’t be turned off by the appearance of the place and employees. It’s a good shop. Do ask them to pack your dozen flat in a larger box. I should have.

As far as Lake City goes, I believe Ed and Barb’s is the only Donut Shop in town. The Donuts here are decent, but the staff could improve. Without much competition, I can say that these are the best donuts in the area.

Donuts still need to improve a bit. Blueberry cake kind of flat and mushy. Powdered white cream didn’t have the lightness they did before. But still… A good donut!

New friendly owners and updated building! Donuts are now fresh and mold free. The cake donuts are delicious.

Delicious Cinnamon Twist
Ed & Barb’s is open Thursday — Tuesday and only until noon. We drive through Lake City periodically but never seemed to make it before noon. This time we barely did and we were very pleasantly surprised.
There are lots of comments in other reviews about the staff’s negative attitudes. The lady behind the counter (I don’t think it was Barb) was slow to smile. But once she did she was kind and helpful. Ed buzzed around the back with a frown but we had no occasion to interact with him.
The building is a bit of a wreck with junk for sale (a rusted fridge for $ 50!) around the edge of the sitting area. And the bathrooms have seen better days (or maybe years).
In any case, we came for the donuts. Since we got there just a few minutes before their 12:00noon closing, the selection was limited to what was left. As a matter of fact, they will close before noon if they run out. So, unfortunately, we couldn’t try their popular apple fritter. Instead we got the cinnamon twist which they warmed up. It was delicious.
The prices are very reasonable.
I would definitely return – if we can just manage to get their before they close!

Stopped in and grabbed a dozen on our way back from Disney as were looking for a donut joint. Really affordable, ran us about $ 7 and some change. Some other reviews spoke poorly about the friendliness of the staff but the woman who helped us out didn’t seem unfriendly at all on this Saturday morning. The donuts were amazing and I would definitely frequent this stop if I lived in the area.
