Even the ice cream trucks in Lavallette take phone-based payments now. I'm not a fan of carrying cash.

That's when I came across Donuts Plus, the only place within a 20-block radius that was open and serving coffee. When I walked over, I was greeted by a charming little red building that had a cozy bodega vibe inside. Here, you won’t find lattes; instead, you pour your own coffee, which likely won’t have much flavor beyond

Enter Donuts Plus, the only establishment within 20 blocks that was open and brewing somejoe. I walked over and discovered a very cute little red building with almost a bodega feel inside. You 're not getting a lattehere you 're pouring your own coffee, and it probably doesn 't have a flavor other than caffeinated. The coffee was what itwas. It woke me up, and went down smooth. There were a few other customers in there (so apparently this is THE spot for earlybirds), and the friendly fellow behind the counter told me they 'd been open since 2AM and had had some interesting patrons inthe earlier morning hours. When I got to the counter I saw a display of donuts and ordered half a dozen, which included a jelly,two chocolate frosted and an Oreo. I had the two chocolate frosted over the course of the next two breakfasts. Not bad, but I 'vehonestly had better. Especially when I 'm on vacation I try to shop local as much as possible, but Dunkin might actually have thebetter donut quality. The structure was the most obvious area for improvement it reminded me unfortunately of NYC street cartdonuts, which have gone massively downhill in the last 20 years. The frosting was kind of stale and easily broke off when bitteninto, though the donut itself was decent. The others were consumed by chums and were warmly received. I don 't think any wereleft uneaten, and that 's kind of the benchmark in my view. Definitely worth a stop if you 're in the area at the break of dawnbut you probably have better options if you can wait an extra hour or two.
