This MS Coast spot has the best donuts in the state — and they’re made with a twist, Foodie says
A unique ingredient gives the donuts at Mississippi’s top spot their exceptionally airy, fluffy texture — and has kept customers coming back for decades.
While traditional donut recipes use bread flour, TatoNut Donut Shop in Ocean Springs makes its donuts with potato flour, hence the name.
The family owned and operated donut shop, which first opened in 1960, was recently named the best donut shop in the Magnolia State by Foodie, a publication focused on food trends and cooking tips.

What Yelp reviewers said: “I was recommended this place by a family friend while visiting Ocean Springs. I must say this place did not disappoint. I ate more than I wanted to because it was so good. I am going to grab more before I leave. The staff was friendly even with the large crowd inside. The inside itself is small, but with how much clientele they get it benefits them when people take it to go.”
