SoHo Donut Company

Freaking amazing! I stopped in for a quick snack and was blown away. Hand-​made, hand-​dipped, unique flavors. I had 2 of the peanut butter cup donuts and some milk to wash it down.

We made the trip from Land O Lakes to down town to try SoHo donuts for national donut day and it was SO worth it! We got there and thought they had sold out of donuts, only to find out they were making them fresh. I got the Velvet Elvis and it was AMAZING! Nutella, banana, peanut butter and bacon. I chose that donut because, heck, it’s national donut day, may as well get the craziest thing on the menu. I was pleasantly surprised with how amazing those flavor a went together! We also got a maple bacon donut, one with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and another with Oreos, all great! If you’re looking for a great donut outside of your basic glazed or chocolate frosted this is definitely the place!

I stopped by as soon as they opened on a Sunday. I wish I had known that they don’t necessarily turn on the ‘open’ sign when they open, because I sat in my car for a while until someone else just walked in and I realized they were actually open. Even though it was only a few minutes after opening, there were many varieties available and they told me that they would make any other type of donut I wanted! I got a vanilla iced trix donut, which I have never seen before anywhere else in Tampa (usually fruity pebbles and captain crunch is what I see). The doughnut was light and airy and I instantly wished I had bought more! Can’t wait to go back.

Looks like a little hole in the wall from the outside but there are tables inside to sit at!
I was a little disappointed to see when we first stepped in a small selection of donuts but was quickly informed (much to my delight) to put in what we wanted and they would make them for us!
Most delicious donuts I’ve ever had! I had a regular chocolate frosted with sprinkles as well as a captain crunch berries (that’s basically what I came for) & they were sooooooo good!!!
My boyfriend had a peanut butter Oreo, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and pb&j and he says they were out of this world good too!
Will bring family here when they visit!

Taking an «old-​school /​new-​school» approach to the first day in Tampa Bay, it was directly to newly opened Soho Donuts in Downtown that I proceeded from Nicola’s Donuts near Busch Gardens, the recently opened Doughnuttery presenting with some clever ideas to be sure, but execution and a lack of preparedness that speak to problems that should quickly be corrected.
Closed on Mondays with a late-​ish opening hour of nine on Weekends, or eight o’clock Tuesday to Friday, Soho Donuts occupies a stretch of pavement along South Hyde Park Avenue and with owner and one baker present in the small kitchen a 9:10am arrival found Open sign not-​yet-​lighted, the options exceedingly limited in comparison to the online menu with only Raised options available, though the base is in a way almost cake-​like, somewhat akin to a rich Challah or Brioche.
Surprised by the lack of readiness on a Holiday, the crowd a slow trickle that entailed perhaps fifteen patrons during a half-​hour stay, it was with little delay that the counter was approached on entry and opting for three uniquely topped rings plus one made-​to-​order sandwich a total bill of just under $ 15 was levied, a seat taken followed by a ten minute wait.
Having read the online menu, both it and the listed hours somewhat inaccurate while the Social Media stream fails to update in any useful way, it was with bites of the «Goldilocks» that tasting got started and with a rich base that comes across ever-​so-​slightly yeasty the topping of Vanilla and Golden Oreos offered all the expected flavors, the same to be said of the «Half-​Baked» with Brownies and Caramel while the clever «5 Second Rule» was a fun taste that helped to offset sweetness with occasional notes of salinity.
Admittedly lured in by the Donut Breakfast Sandwiches and Grilled Cheese, the object of desire a Sweet Cuban described as being served on «Longboard» Donuts not-​yet-​made on Sunday, it was instead on two split Glazed Rings that the pile of meat, cheese, vegetables and condiments was presented, the presence of Tomato (not part of a true Cuban, nor listed on the menu) brushed away by the owner without explanation while the rest of the composition was actually quite pleasant, the Slow Roasted Pork of particularly good quality while the mustard was just a smear and thankfully quite restrained.

Holy unexpected greatness! After a disappointing lunch next door at Tampiz we stumbled in here not even craving sweets and were BLOWN AWAY by their product. In my years as a professional baker, never have I ever made or tasted anything nearly as delicious as their donuts.
They reach the perfect balance between flavor and sweetness, unlike many of their colleagues in the donut world. They’re also fresh and rich in textures, which makes them so wonderful! To best describe my experience with Soho donuts, we came in and bought 4, I ate them in the car on the way somewhere else and my babe turned the car around to get a full dozen because of how excited I was taking every bite! We ate that entire dozen within 24 hours… In addition to the previous 4.
This place is a hidden gem, it seems unfair to pay them the completely reasonable prices they list ($ 1 and some change per donut) because the experience is at least $ 4 each donut. I live in St. Pete and have dreamt of this place every day since that day we found them. If you’re in the area you HAVE to try the Fruity Pebble, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Chocolate Frosted donuts — you don’t regret it!

Awesome, delicious donuts! You won’t be disappointed! We had an event that needed some wow factor, so we called and placed an order for 4 dozen to be picked up the next morning. We built a tiered stand to display at our event. They were happy to oblige and we got a wide variety of icings and toppings that people were talking about for days. My favorite was the crispy bacon and maple icing, but the chocolate glaze with peanut butter cup topping was a close second. With such a small place, it is amazing the amount of happiness that can be created by the awesome crew and their donuts. To say we will be back is an understatement and I am sure they gained a bunch of new clients from our event! Job well done and thank you for the ability to fit us in on short notice!

I like trying new donut places and this one has been bookmarked for a while. We came in on a Sunday morning and it wasn’t busy. It is a pretty small place and can be easily missed when walking by or driving.
We got a half a dozen mixed with fancy and regular donuts. I was really excited about the Samoa donut because I love Samoa girl scout cookies. I took my first bite and it was underwhelming. It didn’t really taste like a Samoa at all. I tasted the chocolate and coconut but there wasn’t really any caramel flavor. It looked nice, but I was disappointed.
We got a couple other donuts that were good, but not really memorable. I didn’t have anything that made me feel like I had to come back again.

Was so excited to try out this donut place but honestly was a bit disappointed. This place has a great selection in variety of donuts with some really unique options but the donuts themselves were just a little dry and not that great at all. Got the Samoa donut and was disappointed to be wasting my calories on it. Was hoping as I took more bites I would enjoy it more but sadly that didn’t happen. Really cute store though and in a cool area to walk around. Friendly employees and quick service. Clean and very welcoming store. Outside seating is also available to enjoy your donut.

So upon arrival, my group and I noticed the line for the donuts out the door! We knew it had to be good. We ordered donut burgers for all of us, and we were right. They were quickly made and delivered to our pleasure. The one reason why I gave 4 stars is because the shop is super small so it’s hard to walk and find a place to sit down. Other than that, the burger was worth the $ 10. Definitely recommend

This is somewhere between a very strong 4 star or a weak 5 star — I went w/​very strong 4 star, just because I was picking up a donut for my wife while taking the dog for a walk, and too early to bestow a 5 star.
I got the Grilled Cheese and Bacon donut. My wife loved it.

The Soho Donut Company is located in South Tampa off S Hyde Park Ave across from University of Tampa next to the Retreat and a new pizza shop in the same plaza as the Oxford Exchange and Mise en place. Soho Donut Company offers an amazing array of unique flavorings in their donuts which can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert. Soho Donut company serves 11 types of classic donuts, 29 types of different fancy donuts, 6 types of breakfast donut sandwiches, 11 sandwiches for lunch, hot dogs, and even grilled cheese donuts with bacon! Several of their donuts are topped with various popular cereals: cocoa puffs, cinnamon toast crunch, fruity pebbles, Lucky Charms, fruit loops, etc. I got the cookie monster donut which is a chocolate glazed donut topped with pieces of a chocolate cookie and it was delicious! Service was quick and friendly. There is plenty of street parking on S Hyde Park Ave and in the parking lot behind the building by Oxford exchange and Mise end place. I was able to find street parking easily in the evening.
Cons: The Soho Donut shop is a bit small and the inside dining area is limited to 4 small tables. You are better off getting something to go than eating here. I can see this place running out of seating in the mornings.

This was a tough call for me, between a 3 and 4 stars. In the end, it all came down to the donuts themselves, and I was just a little underwhelmed.
I stopped in here with a group of friends after lunch for a quick treat, and was pleased to find a happy little store with very nice people working there and what looked to be a ton of cute and tasty options for donuts. I ended up getting a donut with chocolate syrup, brownie bits, and caramel.
I did enjoy my donut, but I was left feeling like it wasn’t worth the (I’m sure) enormous amount of calories. Despite being a specialty donut, it didn’t feel all that special while I was eating it.
My first problem was that the donuts themselves (not the toppings) are all basic, plain donuts like you could get at dunkin donuts or publix (they’re not krispy kreme donuts, and there aren’t a lot of the standard varieties like old fashioned donuts, cake donuts, etc.) And honestly, the donuts tasted like they were bought from dunkin donuts or publix. They were just there to showcase the toppings, which is okay but I’d like the donuts in my donuts to be pretty good.
So it all came down to the special topping. If those were especially good, they could save it all. And like I said, I did definitely enjoy my donut. But it just wasn’t that great. The chocolate on top tasted like the chocolate from any other donut place. The brownies were fairly flavorless. The caramel was good but there wasn’t enough of it. The other donuts I saw looked like small variations in what I had ordered. A plain donut, chocolate or vanilla frosting, some tasty bits on top, and maybe a drizzle of caramel or white chocolate.
All in all, it was tasty, and I enjoyed going there, but I probably won’t go again unless I completely give up on my diet because it just wasn’t good enough to be worth it.

Although I have a soft spot for Nicola’s, I was impressed by Soho Donut Company. The donuts were made to order, so we had to wait a few minutes for a fresh batch. There are three donut categories available: classic, fancy, and specialty. Each costs slightly more than the last. There are also sandwiches and even burgers with donuts for the bun.
I had a Skunk Ape covered with Oreo pieces and a chocolate cake ring. The cake ring was very moist, but I wish it had been bigger. My GF is a donut addict and there are a lot of great combinations, so I know we’ll be back to try more.

SoHo Donut Company = delicious gourmet donuts!!!
The donuts are a standard size but they have a lot of great and interesting flavors. My friend and I shared a half-​baked donuts and a cinnamon toast crunch donut. The half-​baked was a chocolate frosted donut, topped with brownie bits and a caramel drizzle. The cinnamon toast crunch had a vanilla frosting and was topped with cinnamon toast crunch cereal. Both donuts were sweet, delicious, and easy to enjoy. Surprisingly, neither was very heavy or rich. The dough of the donut itself was soft and airy.
The place is tiny inside with 3 small tables and they have a few small tables outside. You have to know where you’re going to find this place because it doesn’t stand out very much when you just drive by quickly — thank goodness for Google maps! You must go here if you like donuts! Totally worth it.

Yin and yang… I’m talking doughnuts people! White glaze or chocolate glaze on top of fresh yeasty delicious doughnuts. This Makes me happy. Pretty much everything here makes me smile. Deli meats and cheese pressed between a sweet fresh doughnut… Are you having doughnut fantasies yet??? When you walk into this establishment you feel young again. Seeing all of the colorful doughnut assortments and reading their quirky names.
Not only can you come for breakfast and get a doughnut with your eggs and bacon. They make it into a sandwich! A freaking sandwich! Bacon, egg, cheese doughnut sandwich. (If only you can see my face as I’m typing this)
So they have other great items as well. But I haven’t had the opportunity to try. Such as their chicken and waffles, Philly cheese steaks, rueben, glazed doughnut burger and sweet Cuban sandwich. Which I think could replace my craving for a honey butter pressed sandwich from publix.
Oh and if you don’t see your flavor choice. They will make it for you! Who cares if you have to wait a few minutes for your doughnut. The wait is well worth it! Be a few minutes late to work if needed. A 12 fancy pack of doughnuts will help anyone get a promo!
I am really loving the fact they make pretty much everything… And then add a doughnut in the mix. They make their own chocolate glaze and you can tell. Not only is love in the air, it’s in there lil precious doughnuts too.

When I perused through the photos, I didn’t know they made anything but donuts; but, after reading a review mentioning a Cuban sandwich, I immediately made the drive.
I was like a kid in a candy store, or an adult in a donut shop. I ordered a Cuban sandwich and patiently waited for its completion. It took a little longer than a normal Cuban sandwich should take, but not terribly slow. When it came out, it was one of the biggest Cuban sandwiches I’ve ever laid my eyes on. This thing was massive, with piles of meat, lettuce, and tomato! The only odd thing, is the pickle wasn’t on the sandwich, it was a spear on the side. Traditionally, a Cubana has the pickle thinly sliced on the sandwich, but I found a lot of places put their own twist on there cubanas. This was a good sandwich!
I ordered two donuts, the Cookie Monster and Skunk Ape. Both amazing! This place gets extra points for all of the original ideas. Plentiful menu, and many reasons to come back!
What really hurts this place, is the parking situation. That, and the size of the shop. There are only a few tables, and it is tight. I hate to say this, but you’re better off getting something to go.

Tasty and fun donuts. Great variety. Samoan of Girl Scouts fame. Elvis pnut butter banana. They can make your donuts to order so say «YES» when they offer you a menu. Why be limited.
They also have donut grilled cheese sammiches (also available with ham or bacon) donut burgers, and grilled pbj. Decent beverage offerings. And egg and cheese sammiches for breakfast with steak. Chx, ham, sausage or the Todd Special (BACON). They also have some sandwiches, Cuban, chic n waffle, reuben, Chz steak etc.
We all miss Max & Chz grilled cheese, but this is a good alternative.
Scarface is glazed guava filled with two lines of powdered sugar.

We stopped by here on our Tampa food tour after brunch because who doesn’t need a donut AFTER breakfast food! :)
I love their creative names (5 second rule — a mess of cereal dust, chocolate, sprinkles and other stuff on top) and cereal theme. Who can’t appreciate a donut with only the marshmallows from Lucky Charms on top? I mean some poor soul had to pick them all out of the box to garnish my lovely donut. The Charlie Sheen — cake donut covered completely in powder (sugar).
They have some of the standard donuts types as well along with the new specialty donut maple bacon that most places carry now. I understand they make amazing sandwiches so will have to come back for those. Super soft and tasty donuts that although are sweet & sugary, are really tasty beyond the toppings.

Excellent little donut shop conveniently located by Oxford Exchange/​UT. Just a couple tables inside and a couple tables outside but it doesn’t seem like they’re too busy where seating would be an issue.
As far as their donuts, so many interesting choices, both traditional and nontraditional flavors, but I settled on one of the Cereal Killers that was vanilla glazed and topped with Fruity Pebbles. I thought since I was going in the afternoon that it wouldn’t be fresh but that wasn’t the case. It tasted like it was just made — nice and soft with the Fruity Pebbles providing some crunch and more flavor. Very good choice! And surprisingly well-​priced — $ 1.09 for the classic donuts and $ 1.49 for the the fancy ones, such as the one I got, and $ 1.99 for a few others (mostly the ones with bacon).
Aside from the great donuts, they also provide excellent service. The girl who took my order was very helpful and sweet, giving me recommendations and such. She was an All-​Star.
Grabbed a to-​go menu which shows that they also serve sandwiches for breakfast and lunch, as well as explains all of the donut flavors they have. Good way to get me thinking what my next choice will be. Maybe the Samoan, similar to the Girl Scout cookie of the same name. Or maybe the Metropolitan (red velvet, cream cheese and chocolate drizzle). They all look tasty… can’t wait to go back!
