Our signature donut is the sugar-raised which we have been famous for since 1953. Its cinnamon-sugar coating is applied with a light touch. The list of donut varieties available here is long and among the most promising are Boston Cream, Chocolate Frosted, Cannoli Imagine Minis, Apple Fritter and many more.

As for customers who worry that the shop will run out of their choices before they get there, we recommend that you call (732-270-3882) the morning of or the night before with your order. We also do special orders for parties, weddings, birthdays, etc. Keep an eye on the string of lights outside our shop.

I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of donuts they offer I was even more overwhelmed to try their amazing crumb cake the chocolate crumb cake was outstanding the piece that they give you is huge and for the price it is well worth it ! Great first experience will definitely be back again!

Great donuts. Love how it’s just a place that closes when they run out of donuts. Have tried many types and have liked them all. Wish I had some pics but they get eaten to quickly. Look for the red light on the front to know they are open and get some great fresh donuts.

If you are looking for the best donuts ever, this is the place. This was our first but not our last visit. I got jelly and Boston cream each one was delicious. The jelly had a crispy crust. Soft center an jelly was not overly sweet. Boston cream was equally delicious. Best lunch I ever had yummy

OB-CO's are the best donuts you will ever eat. They are less expensive than Dunkin Donuts and superior in taste. The variety is phenomenal, if you don't find what you like then you don't like donuts. Get there early because when they sell out they close for the day. Usually around 11am the latest

Donuts were just thrown in a bag and the ones on the bottom got crushed. And the icing on the donuts was rock hard.

Ohhhh boy! This is a great find! This tiny little roadside donut hut is a must-stop. They open at 5am and stay open until they're sold out.
Every. Single. Thing. Is DELICIOUS.
From the variety of donuts to the crumb cake...you will not be sorry. And the prices are surprisingly low.
We cannot wait for the opportunity to go back!!!

These doughnuts are absolutely amazing. There is such a wide selection that will find yourself getting a dozen and not even realizing it! You have to get there early, the lines are long, and once they run out that’s it til the next day.

My family started going to Ob-Co's since 1985. I remember telling my friends how the Boston Cream donuts weighed a pound there was so much cream. The cinnamon sugar donuts were Huge!. I grew up in North Jersey only to Return in the 1990's and there was new owners and the Donuts were still good. I moved down to South Jersey in the early 2000's and did not return until today. I told my wife from time to time how amazing this place is. We just never go to Tom's River so she never tried it. I bought 6 donuts and not one was even close to what i remembered. The Boston cream. Totally disappointed😞

Been years since we had been. My Grandma use to own house very close and was a summer staple for us. Well I decided to pick up for my doughnut loving kids and boy the memories flooded back fast. Little more fancier(meaning more choices) than back in the day but still exceptional across the board. While we mostly stuck to the old favorites everything we had was great .... Thinking raspberry jelly yumm! Do yourself a favor if you in the area one early
Morning and get in line and tell me
It's not one of the best doughnuts you ever had!

I am visiting and was told of ob-co. We stood in line for 20 mins and it was worth every second. Did not disappoint. The regular glazed is my favorite. So doughy it's perfect with coffee. Everything I thought it would be and more.

This place is a 10/10. I recently tried the donuts here for the first time while staying down the shore and I can't believe I haven't tried it sooner. The cinnamon sugar croissant is a must have! The staff was friendly and supporting a local business is always great!

I understand that OB-CO's is known far and wide as making some of the best donuts in the area

I also know that they make the best crumb cake, which is more important to me than donuts

I understand that they are a very popular spot and typically sell out before closing time at 1 and that you always take a chance when heading there that they will be sold out of whatever you're looking for

I understand that this is just the way that it is, you can't count on anything

I understand that this is just the way OB-CO's runs it's business

Even though I understand all of these

Always the best around . Great fresh and delicious . I've been going to Obcos since the early 70s and never a disappointment.

Truly excellent. Tried on Saturday around 2pm they were sold out, and Sunday at 10am they were out of a few things but the classics were there. Jelly, cream, cake, St. Joseph's pastry... all delicious, simple, light, slight crunch and not greasy. Also not painfully sweet.

So rarely does something offer exactly what it says- fresh doughnuts, we're done when we're sold out, lights are off don't bother driving up. There's a reason a business lasts 68 years, and ob-co's is definitely worth it.

The absolute best donuts around and dangerous that they are so close to home. The cake type donuts with the white frosting are my favorite. Magical. Switch it up and grab a crumb cake...amazing. Dare I say even better than muellers? Go early before they sell out. It's worth the wait in line.

I think I have found the Best Boston Creme in NJ... This donut is massive and full of creme. Once the donuts sell out for the day, you are out of luck. The lines start early here and for good reason. Everything looks so good and people leave with bags and bags of donuts and other baked goods. This is a must stop if you are down the shore.

So my father would come here as a kid when he lived in jersey city. As I grew up, this is where he always stopped to get doughnuts. This isn't like one of those made to order doughnut shops. This is a old school style doughnut shop. There is always a line and when they sell out then that's it. You should go early and if you like crumb cake you should definitely try the crumb cake. Doughnuts are always fresh and a good size in my opinion. You should stop and give it a try. This place has always been my standard of doughnuts.

Stayed down the shore recently with my boyfriend's family and his father recommended we try these. He picked up a few flavors for us to try. They were amazing! All fresh! I grabbed the strawberry frosted and the Cinnamon Toast Crunch donut. I'm not usually a fan of sprinkles, but I had no issues eating it on the donut. Did not taste plasticy like in Dunkin' Donuts. Had the Cinnamon Toast Crunch donut the following day. Heated it in the microwave and it's tasted just as amazing the next day. Huge fan! Will definitely be returning back for more. I recommend arriving early on to

Old school, no-nonsense donut hut on Fischer. Donuts are ALWAYS FRESH with fair prices. Lots of variety of donuts, crumb cakes and coffee. This is an off the street hut with an awning. It is not uncommon to see a line of 8-10ppl waiting, sometimes in the rain. Although the line usually goes quick. They have 2 working registers to help more people. Pricing is beyond fair, $10 for a dozen was the last I remember. The best part is, they open early and when they run out of donuts, they close. And CASH ONLY, although they do have an atm.
Call-ahead service is available, although the one time I tried

Can't say these are the best donuts I've had, but they are decent. You order at a window. 1/2 dozen donut is $7.50. A single donut costs $1.45.
The original glazed is very traditional and tastes like a good glazed donut.
The apple fritter is the size of my face and costed $3.50. It was moist inside and is a solid apple fritter.
The apple cinnamon I did not like bec it had a very artificial candy apple flavor.

I love donuts, so much so that I left my house at 5:05am Saturday morning to make a 1 hour drive to Tom's River to visit OB-CO's Donuts.

Pulling into the parking lot, I immediately smelled the intoxicating aroma of freshly fried donuts.

OB-CO is setup for takeout orders only, so you order at the front while the staff packages your selections.

For a newbie (like me), it's daunting to see so many fresh offerings on display, but luckily I did my research and planned which donuts to buy beforehand.

OB-CO's has been my family's favorite place for summer donuts since we were kids. We have a shore house in Seaside Heights so the tradition was to stop here for donuts before crossing over the Toms River bridge on our way into town. This place is an institution, generations of people know about this spot since it's been here since the 1950s!

The key to this place is get here early (they open at 5am!!), especially on weekends in the summer (The lines can get very long and they only stay open until they sell out) and know what you want. That last part can be tricky because they have

I use to remember my dad getting donuts at Ob-Co about 30 years ago when my family had a shore home in Seaside. We used to rave about their donuts back then. I recently moved back to Toms River and had to stop at Ob-Co. The donuts are just as delicious as I remember them. And they are not stingy with their fillings. The jelly donuts feel like they weigh a half a pound with all the jelly inside. Absolutely amazing donuts.
