Montauk Bake Shoppe

Fried double stuffed jelly doughnuts! INSANITY! This family owned biz has been keeping locals happy for decades…and one taste of the goods and we know why. My son actually had his very first (and, only, I may add) doughnut here and from the looks of him, I think it was a religious experience! Plus the [...]

Is it a donut or a breakfast cereal?

HOLEY CREAM! This place is insane! A genius idea… reminiscent of the 80s ice cream mix-in trend.
