WOW! SO many delicious options! Been going here for years now. We've loved everything we've gotten there, but the cream donuts, sticky buns, and crumb cake are our favorites. Their round loaf and snowflake rolls are also out of this world. The staff is so friendly and helpful. This is a definite gem at the shore!

I love these creme donuts but they have reduced the size and amount of creme in them that they have become large sample sizes not actual donuts. I will give a pass on the poor service due to staffing issues. Brittons in wildwood crest is family owned and delicious..much better option

Overrated! For starters, customer service was atrocious, with very rude employees! The cream in the donuts was a sugary white cream, similar to Duncan Donuts - - and NOT butter cream, as advertised. The size of the donut was another disappointment - - half the size of a normal donut! Not sure what all the hype is - - we definitely will not return!

CASH ONLY sign is no bigger than my phone and difficult to see. Waited in line for an hour to be turned away empty-handed.

Best doughnuts in the world. Been eating them for 25 years now and they are still #1. Everything they make is good. Check out their Instagram whenever you are planning to go as they usually update with any random closings and they are mostly open during the summer season. I can’t wait for next year!

You can't skip this place if you are here in the summer. The cream donuts, turnovers and stars are great. Service is fast if you pre-order.

The cream donuts are the absolute best! I look forward to Saturdays when I grab a dozen for my office and set aside two for myself. Each bite is a taste of happiness! The vanilla buttercream cake is hands down the best I've ever tasted and the cookies are jammed packed with sweetness. The staff is always friendly and using the pre-ordering system is a game changer! Kohlers should be on your list of places to visit in Avalon

I just discovered Kohler's this summer and only recently due to a recommendation by a friend. Well, I am LOCKED IN!! It may literally be one of the BEST bakeries EVER......from the appearance of the products, the organization of the staff, the packaging of the goods, the AMAZING friendliness of the entire staff, and of course the DELICIOUSNESS of ANYthing you eat there!!! I am incredibly impressed! And a customer forever. Today is their last day open for 2020 and it was handled very well.. ...long lines that move fast and efficiently and a staff that never tires of being friendly and calm

Waited in line 40 mins before opening and ended being first inside. Line wraps around the block by about 20 minutes before opening. Cream filled donuts and trolley buns were the best. Totally worth the wait/hype. Glad we don't live near it or I'd be there weekly and full of regret/happiness.

Do not go here, ever. Everything they have is awful.

Ok, I'm lying, I just want it all for myself and don't want people buying all the goodies!!! The best mornings are Kohler's mornings...the staff is unfailingly polite, the creme donuts are AMAZING, as are the crumb buns, the crullers, the regular donuts....you get the point, right? One of the last true "family" bakeries around, and we hope they continue to thrive for years to come! Each and every year, they are consistently 100% top notch!

Kohler's is always our spot for baked goods down the shore. Everything is made from scratch and you can taste the difference. I personally love the cinnamon buns with nuts and raisins. All of the employees are very helpful and I have always had good experiences in the store. Really the perfect shore bakery!

The absolute best sticky buns!! The cream donuts are delicious as well. I can't go down the shore without stopping in. The staff is always very friendly and I love how they do giveaways on Instagram. They are closed during off season so don't hesitate getting your fix!

Kohler's Bakery in Avalon is 70 years old this year. This is one of the Jersey Shore's favorite bakeries and many summer vacationers patronize here especially in the morning hours. To be honest, it is not at all my favorite shore bake shop and I have never found one item that I would rate at the very top of any pastries I ever tasted. But still - their sticky buns are quite tasty and their crumb buns (or crumb cake) as it is called here is crumbly enough. The cream filled doughnut I had had lots of the cream on the outside which I am not sure is their style or was a mistake. It was

Nothing bad you can say about this place. The lines long in the morning but it's really that good. Best jelly doughnuts you can find. The line moves quick they're very efficient. Cinnamon buns are good too. Been going there for 20+ years and I still get just as excited.

BEST cream doughnuts and cinnamon twists at the jersey shore! My kids wait all winter for Memorial Day weekend and opening weekend at Kohler's! Enjoy waiting in line with friends and catching up over coffee. The line is always out the door and down the block by 8am. Staff is always friendly and professional.

I was introduced to Kohler's by my wife the first year I came down to the Avalon / Stone Harbor area. With 13 years of coming here annually on these trips, I have no question why people have been coming here for as long as they can remember.
The donuts here are made fresh daily, and you can always expect a line first thing in the morning if you come when they open. My personal favorite is still the cream donuts, but there really isn't anything here that is bad.
You can't beat their prices, and the staff is always friendly and hard at work to help everyone that is coming in for

The price to taste ratio here is amazing. For just a buck, you can get a killer cream donut that'll send you into sugar heaven.

On our second trip here, I opted for the raspberry filled donut and it was the perfect balance of sweet and doughy.

Try a few things, then come back and get repeats of your favorites. We never experienced more than a few minutes of waiting, but I've heard there can get to be a pretty long line.
