Bennett’s Fresh Roast Reviews

I was a frequent Bennett’s visitor for approximately 8 years. The service has been incredible in the past. The experience of driving downtown and to have the cafe experience was always a delight.

Until they switched owners.

Now the building, according to the thermostat in house was 86 degrees of stagnant hot air. Combined that with the large seasonal lines and people sandwiched in, with the new presence of flies, I just wanted to walk out.

20 minutes of waiting in this hot line, I finally arrived to order. The bearded man at the counter was friendly, personal and funny. The only saving grace of this experience.

They loaded their limited supply of donuts in tin foil, like a bagel. Upon opening, all the frosting fell off. The coffee cup was flimsy, when my wife grabbed it to drink, the lid popped off and spilled all over me when driving, staining the car and burning my poor wife.

The outdoor patio usually is clean, swept daily by the previous owner/staff. Now, covered in debris/leaves. With tables and not enough chairs to sit at the now rusting tables. Of course, inside is too hot, stagnant, and gross to sit with the loss of the beautiful cafe music and ambiance it once had.

It’s too bad, because the coffee (what didn’t spill out of the cheap cups that were once served in beautiful mugs), was still full bodied and flavorful. As well as the donuts being fluffy, delicious, albeit completely ruined with frosting scraped off by the tinfoil covering.

I miss the old Bennett’s. I’m sad to say after 8 years of visiting every weekend, I will have to find a new cafe/donut shop with my friends/family.

Definitely arrive early, especially for the apple fritters. I personally love me some glazed donuts. Great donut shop in SW FL.

Arrive early. This was our first stop after we flew in (around 10AM) and when we arrived they had 6 donuts left. Not six types but six actual donuts. The maple toffee topping was yummy and the donut was light and delicious. Didn’t get to try the glazed as a local took the last two before we had a chance.

Bennett’s was great. Best glazed donut I have ever had and solid coffee as well. The only reason this got 4 stars instead of 5 was their inventory being rather low and not having everything that was on the menu. Definitely arrive early! Great coffee and donut shop overall.

Regina Heagle

Amazing experience! The man behind the counter had the BEST attitude and was the most exuberant person I’ve seen serving customers! Go Jeremiah!

I remember when Bennett’s was the best. It’s gone way down since it’s beginning. My understanding is that there are new owners.
Last few times we stopped here, it was mediocre, at best. The coffee is good, but always only luke warm. Donuts are still good. Today, there wasn’t any hot coffee at all. How do you run a coffee shop without coffee? I’m not sure how they’re still in business. Such a shame!!

Yes, the hype is real! Great Donuts and coffee. Wonderful employees. Very friendly. I decided to give it a try and been coming back almost everyday when I’m in town. Dog friendly!

My first time @ Bennett’s and the donuts were amazing. Good patient service, Good coffee and amazing donuts what more could you ask for. I loved their key lime donut! Thank you Bennett’s!!

Excellent coffee and “to die for donuts “. However be sure to get there early for the best selection. They also have a nice sitting area, outside in the shade, to enjoy your coffee and treat and relax.

It’s been a while since I’ve visited Bennett’s ‼️ arrived Saturday at 10:15 AM and I was absolutely disappointed The case usually filled with freshly baked donuts barely had any Donuts displayed, So I asked for an egg sandwich and they said they were out of it, our group decided we would go somewhere else, we did buy a strawberry sprinkle donut for one of the children in our group .The plain glazed donuts were nonexistent and the other ones did not look very fresh, there was a musty smell ,the floor was completely dirty and it just seemed like a skeleton crew was keeping the place going! The vibe has totally changed!
