About Donut Factory
Donut Factory is a donut shop in Taperoo, South Australia, and the draw is hot, fresh-made donuts you can take down to the water. People often head over for the cinnamon donuts, and the jam ones get plenty of love too. Locals say they come out fresh from the oven, thick and full of flavour, which is exactly what you want on a cool evening.
The setting does a lot of the work. People talk about eating with a view of the beach, watching the sunset and the waves roll in, which makes it an easy stop on a drive down the coast or while you wait for the kids to finish up an activity. It's also open for takeaway and delivery, with free parking close by and a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park.
The people behind the counter come up again and again. We've heard they're friendly, quick with orders and happy to chat while they cook, and one group of riders and supporters turned up in a crowd and still got looked after promptly. Kids tend to love the donuts and the fairy floss, and the pricing is known as good value for what you get.
One local was put off by a limited drink selection and a quiet mood on a particular visit, so it's a casual, simple operation rather than a big menu. The hours are limited, so check before you head in.
