Perfect little breakfast spot in Watkins Glen if you were in the area. Food was really delicious, I got the breakfast sandwich. Would go back in a heartbeat to have it again. The waitress was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Got some donuts on the way out and they were really really good. I got the cinnamon twist And berry sprinkle doughnut and want to go back to try more. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by.

This is the best donut shop around! The donuts are fresh baked every morning, and there's so many different varieties that you can't just choose one! They have great options for kids and adults alike. My recommendation will forever be the Bizmark! They also offer sit-down breakfast options, an outdoor dining area, and a beautiful corner view of downtown Watkins.

It’s fine. Didn’t love the flavor of the donuts or the donut toppings. Ordering bagels means you have have to put the cream cheese on yourself but at least you get more than enough cream cheese. Lots of interior seating and service was fast and friendly.

Really good donuts. Great selection. You have to get there early, or some flavors will sell out. We ended up getting donuts twice on our weekend getaway. Everything was great.

Stayed in the Finger Lakes for a girls weekend. We got breakfast from Tobey’s both days we were there. Super friendly staff. Amazing breakfast sandwiches! We got them on Kaiser rolls, and they were so fresh & delicious!! We also got donuts. Oh my lord!!!! They were out of this world delicious!!! I live 4 hours away, and I’d drive back just to get the donuts!! (Sorry no pictures of them, we ate them too quick!)

My dad and I came in on a Saturday morning around 9:30 and these guys were popping- but we got seated and served super fast. The food was delicious, and the coffee and donuts where divine. Every member of staff was efficient, helpful, and kind. 2 coffees, 2 donuts, and 2 omelettes and the total came to under $50 for breakfast for 2 people- so an incredible value especially for the quality of the food. I've lived in the area for years and hadn't stopped in, but now I think I've got a new favorite spot! Best donuts ever.

Staying in Watkins Glen for the weekend was looking for a place for breakfast. It's listed as a donut shop let me tell you I'm so glad we went. They have more than just donuts all be it the donuts are amazing. So if you are looking for donuts and or breakfast you must go. We ended up going both days that we are there. Who doesn't love donuts as an appetizer before breakfast.

We stopped here to grap a breakfast sandwich and donuts before visiting Letchworth Park. It was because of previous reviews that we went here. They didn't disappoint. The service was friendly, our sandwiches were delicious and so were the donuts. There's a beautiful park right across the street, too.

We spent a few days enjoying the outdoors around Watkins Glen, and we didn't want to wake up early or cook for ourselves one morning. We didn't realize Tobey's breakfast service ends at 11AM. We made it Tobey's just before breakfast ended fortunately and left satsified and happy to not wash dishes on vacation. We sampled a few of their donuts and ate a delicious simple breakfast. Their hashbrowns are delightfuly seasoned for good flavor, and french toast was tasty. The donut selection was running low, but since I know supply and demand determines how much they make and they were about to close at 1PM it was understandable.

Camping and hiking at Watkins Glen State Park for the weekend and wanted a great breakfast. Google did not disappoint. We didn't have the donuts, but they looked delicious in the case! We had an omelette and and egg/bacon/toast breakfast. Delicious! We will definitely stop by again when we are in Watkins Glen, hopefully for donuts next time!

Delicious donuts! Fresh and yummy! If you’re in the Watkins Glen area, I highly recommend you stop by and pick a dozen! The donuts tasted fresh! I also ordered a bacon egg sandwich which was good too but could use more bacon but still tasted good nonetheless. They have a full menu so if you aren’t in a donut mood then you have other food to choose from. Check this place out for sure!!

So I know it's a donut shop and they have spectacular donuts and breakfast "sammiches" but their coffee is just not even gas station quality. If I was there on an off day and it was normally better, then it's a five star. But it's difficult to enjoy a five star donut with a one star cup of coffee. (I just read another recent comment about the coffee)Donuts, choc cake, blueberry, sour cream/glazed and choc iced were really well done, warm and delicious. Egg+cheese & sausage on English muffin was piping hot and perfect. If in WG, give Tobey's a try just bring your own coffee ☕

Awesome Donuts! First time in Watkins Glen and found this cute place around noon and they close at 1. So the selection of donuts was somewhat limited but what we got was very good. The Bizmark - a cinnamon roll iced with vanilla frosting - was pretty special. Awesome fluffy texture! Loved this shop!

So wanted to try a local place for breakfast. The waitress was so stressed out because she was the only one so her attitude wasn’t the friendliest(which I don’t blame on her) as for the food the hash browns were Amazing and the coffee was ok. I bought donuts for my in laws they said they were good. Might try again this was on a Wednesday morning and they we’re definitely busy!

Their donuts are super fresh, not too sweet and just plain delicious. They also have great eggs, toast, and hot breakfast.The service was also great! Everyone is friendly and helpful.

Omelets were good, a little pricey. Really liked the apple donut and French creme donut. Would go back for donuts only. Good location, with small parking lot, some street parking in front.

Amazing donuts!! Seriously, I don’t know how they get them so fluffy and moist. Good variety of donuts too. And the staff is super friendly. Good coffee! They also serve full breakfast and sell cold drinks to go.

Jill is awesome and so personable! We came in and ordered two donuts as well as two omelettes and toast. I had an apple-stuffed donut. My fiance had an apple cider donut. Both were delicious---much better than chain donuts (looking at you, Dunkin'!)Our omelettes, both with sausage, were served SUPER fast! I ordered sourdough toast with mine and made tasty little sandwiches! I was so close to moaning while eating our breakfast it was almost criminal! 🤣Price was reasonable. We would love to come back Friday morning before we leave town!

The food was good and the prices are reasonable. Before I sat down I was excited to have a cider doughnut, since I saw they had several in stock. A while after I ordered I was told they were out of cider doughnuts since they were given to other tables first. I was disappointed and ordered a different doughnut instead. Many of their doughnuts were either almost gone or out. It seems like they are not making enough doughnuts ahead of time to meet the demand.

Yum!!!!! So goooooood. Sans everyone was so super friendly. You can get donuts and breakfast sandwiches to go or you can have a full sit down breakfast. Peppermint patty donut was incredible!

This is a great shop with delicious food made just the way I wanted. I tried to take a picture of my meal, but it was too hard to stop eating it. Oh, well! You'll have to settle for a picture of my half eaten meal.This is a lovely area to visit. I am staying in the Sugar Hill State Forest where there is free camping and great trails for horseback riding. Finger Lakes National Forest is also nearby. Lots of great places for a nomad and traveling storyteller to to enjoy.I suspect I'll visit all of these places again.

Phenomenal fresh donuts, mediocre coffee, but definitely worth the stop in Watkins Glen. The donuts are fluffy and sweet, but not cloying. Would highly recommend the chocolate frosted donut, the eclair, and the cinnamon sugar. For me, the star was the sour cream donut; it was rich, sweet, and with a hint of tang.Enjoyed the outdoor seating area.Will return when back in the FLX.

Got the #3 breakfast special. The food was delicious and came to the table hot. Reasonable priced and the waitress was super friendly! I highly recommend! Amazing donuts too!

This is a must if you are in the Watkins Glen area. We happened to find this little shop accidentally on our honeymoon. The donuts were some of the best I've ever had. Breakfast was good too, my husband and I got the Mexican omelet. They have sandwiches that you can get to go as well. We will definitely be back.

Excellent Doughnuts!!! Always fresh. Their breakfast meals are great as well. They are only open for Breakfast and Lunch but it is definitely worth it.Such excellent service.
