Donuts have got to be one of the best culinary creations ever. They’re deliciously sweet yet a perfectly acceptable breakfast food. And while you can get donuts just about anywhere these days, there’s one shop in the Magnolia State that serves some of the best. Take a look:
This is The Tatonut Donut Shop. It’s located on Government Street in downtown Ocean Springs.

The “home of the only real donut” has been owned and operated by the Mohler family since 1960. And there’s a reason it’s been in business all these years.

Each day, the shop churns outs thousands of donuts – all of which are freshly made on-site.

Somewhere between 200 and 400 dozen glazed donuts are sold a day – and that’s just glazed!

In addition to serving donuts that are made fresh daily, the shop makes some of the most unique donuts around.

The one-of-a-kind donuts are made with potato flour (hence the name), resulting in a “light and tender texture.”

A family recipe is also used to make the chocolate frosting that tops many of the donuts and pastries.
