OB-CO’S Donuts

I wish I still lived within 2 miles of OBCO. But they’ve been consistently making awesome doughnuts for years and years. Whoever has the secret recipe for the raised doughnuts and the apple fritters should protect it with their life. Just like the recipes for Coca-​Cola and KFC, these things should be patented. They are that good. Forget about Krispy Kreme and Dunkin’ Donuts, OBCO’s are far superior. They usually sell out pretty quickly in the summer months so get there early and get yours.

My dad gets the donuts early in the morning as soon as they open. The donuts are the freshest and stay delicious for a few days.

I have lived in Toms River for almost 5 years and I have always been told «You gotta go to OB-​CO for the best doughnuts you have ever had in your life, guaranteed» I wrote it off as locals promoting a business that would be no better than Dunkin or Krispy Creem. I decided to swing by this morning because I was in the area with an hour to kill. Boy was I wrong about this place!!! The outside of the business may not be much to look at, but this WAS the best doughnut I have ever had in my life!!! My only knock would be that they don’t take Credit Cards, but they do have an ATM machine on site. Highly recommend to anyone in the mood for the best doughnuts ever. This will be an every Saturday event for me from now on.

Can’t beat this place for just made fresh doughnuts. This place has been here for a long time with good reason. Only hardship is to eat just one! Good variety especially if you go early morning before they sell out.

Move over Dunkin Donuts uncle doods is in town these are delicious donuts if you’re in Toms River New Jersey this is a must stop

Did you expect anything less then 5 stars? There is a reason Ob-Co’s has been open for so long; their donuts are top-​notch. Get here early as they do go quickly, especially in the summer. I do recommend playing it safe and going with your classics (glazed, chocolate, cream-​filled, etc) because those are their best. They don’t really try their hand at fancy like most places now a days and I’m okay with that.
I also just tried their pumpkin donut. Has a cream cheese topping. Delicious. Not too much pumpkin flavor, just enough.

Great homemade donuts! Always fresh!
The staff was great at helping us make tough decisions!

We love these donuts. Gotta get one every time we come to the shore. Are favorite is the Raised. Also like the Jelly and Chocolate Frosted Glaze. Get there early for the best selection. They close when donuts are gone.

Since the new owner took over the donuts changed. Don’t waist ur time waiting on line they kept the same recipe but the donuts are way smaller. You used to bite into a jelly donut and instantly get jelly. Now u get mostly donut and a tiny amount of jelly in the middle. Bring back the old owners

Been going to Op-co’s every summer for 33 years. They’re the best donuts on Earth and worth any long line. Try the raised.

Been going here for decades with family. I’ve since moved out of the area but every time we come back we go out of out way for their donuts. I’m a big fan of their old fashioned cake donuts and coffee. Usually grab a few and enjoy them by the waterfront in Island Heights to start the morning. The Boston cream is also a killer pick.
Great donuts and a longstanding local business. You’ll be glad you drive past all those chain donut stores and have their classics. Not a bad donut in their shop. Trust me here.

The donuts are amazing! You have to try the cinnamon donut. The staff are nice. They have a great variety of bakery treats.

. Today I got lucky and was the first customer of the day at 5AM. This is what donuts used to be. If you’re a huge fan of Dunkin Donuts this place probably isn’t for you. It’s also not one of those gourmet donut shops that I dread. It’s old time donuts. The frosted ones are just a bit crunchy under the frosting. The crumbs are just that, with sweet toppings (I love the banana).
The place is a Sandy survivor, so we locals are a bit protective. This is what beach culture is about. A family run operation with high quality product. They cater to locals and visitors alike. The only reason I didn’t give that 5^th star is because you never know when they are going to close for the day. They only make a certain amount, when they sell out they close. They will take your order over the phone.

Got there early on Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend and there were 10 people in front of me. The place is worth the wait. The donuts are so fresh and delicious. And I tried the crumb cake and it was so good. By the time I left, the line went way out into the parking lot. If you’re in the mood for some of the best donuts you will ever have, try OB-CO’s.

I have seen a lot of rave reviews, but I must say it is just average at best to me. The prices are a little higher than most bakeries. The donuts I had were a bit overdone. I don’t care for filled donuts that are hard and crunchy. The crumb cakes are decent, but definitely on the small side compared to other places I have been. Better than mass produced donuts or shops that do not cook on their own site, but not near as good as a lot of bakeries I know, but of course this area has very few bakeries, so I guess that is why people rave about these so much.
If you are used to mass produced donuts or ones not made on the premises you might like these since they are made right there. If you are used to fresh bakery donuts and crumb cakes you may be disappointed.
I think in the past they may have been better. I know the donuts have gotten smaller with less filling. The crumb cakes have gotten really pricey and really tiny. Plus I swear the donuts were not so overcooked to the point that they are crunchy almost like they are stale.
Even though I live in town after the past couple of visits I do not think I will bother with them any more unless some how I hear that have improved.

Nice little donut shop. It reminds me of a roadside stand from long ago. I had heard from a couple of people that I had to try this place. The donuts are pretty tasty.
Tried a pumpkin one and a cinnamon one. Both were good. The pumpkin had a cream on top, not too sweet, just tasty. The donuts are a good size, they are also substantial, not flakey or falling apart.
I did like the place, but I didn’t love it. It’s one of those open until we run out places. Which means if you go mid morning the donuts have been out a few hours and aren’t as fresh as they could be. I really think if I went very early, I’d appreciate it more.

Amazing! Didn’t know a real donut until I was introduced to Mrs. Ob-co’s! So soft and yummy. Everything I have tried gas been fantastic. These are not donuts, they are little masterpieces in awesome flavors. Great cheese danish too!!! The crust just melts in your mouth.

We decided to try this place after seeing a coupon in our Entertainment book — enjoy one free half dozen donuts when another half dozen is purchased. We picked out our dozen donuts and provided the cashier with the coupon. She then told us that the coupon was a misprint and they would not accept it. They were extremely rude about it and after driving 30 minutes to try these donuts that was a huge disappointment. First of all, if the coupon is a misprint then take it up with the Entertainment book, not your customers. Second, there is no reason to be rude about it. I know that the $ 6 savings is not a huge deal to lose but the service we were given ensures that I will never be back here.

I understand the love and charm of this place and I even tried it on two separate occasions this summer and they were both equally disappointing. I’m sorry for all the 5 star peeps who love this place they just don’t do it for me.
Small roadside Stand with old school charm. No seating of any kind and cash only. Homemade donuts are their thing and they have just about every thing you could possibly want from Crumb Cake to every type of donut with Mini’s and everything in between.
Unfortunately I simply didn’t find them to be of the greatness the lovers of this place do. Their crumb Cake falls apart in your hands on the bottom and although the crumb itself is good, their bottom part falls short. Their Bavarian Cream is very tasty but again the donut itself was hard. Second visit the young girl talked me into a sugar raised «WHAT THEY ARE FAMOUS FOR» it was ok nothing special Last but not least their Jelly really leaved something to be desired again sorry.
Their Mini lemons were pretty good and the coffee is always Piping hot and very good but as much as I would love to give this place all the Kudos and accolades everyone else does, I simply can’t go against my feelings.
Just doesn’t get it done for me.

OMG!!! If it wasnt as far as it was, I’d be visiting more often, Maybe that is a GOOD thing!!! I was going to Beach, Told my friend to stop is they were open. Well they are, 7 days a week., until donuts are sold out, & they dont just have that, sticky buns, cinnamon knots, twists, all kinds of other sweet delights!!!
as we were parking, the line kept growning. .I love my Local spot L & M, & even McMillans, This *** place is the Bomb!!!
It by far one of the best, the donuts swere light, airy, not greasy & not overly sweet, the cake donuts was just as moist & yummy!!!
Go back-​there is no option. ITS a MUST!!!
Go to OB-CO’s, well maybe shouldnt, damn line just keep getting bigger !!! :)
