About
Ob-Co's Donuts is a donut stand on Fischer Boulevard in Toms River where customers order at an outside window. The menu covers cake and raised donuts, crumb cakes, platters and coffee, with seasonal flavors.
Ob-Co's dates its stand to 1953 and still works from its original recipe. The item it is most associated with is the sugar-raised donut, finished with a light coat of cinnamon sugar. The window opens at 5 a.m. every day of the year and closes when the donuts run out; a string of lights outside stays on for as long as there is product left.
The everyday case goes well beyond plain and glazed. Cake varieties include cinnamon crunch, mint chocolate and blueberry, raised options include Bavarian cream, Boston cream and powdered jelly, and there are croissants, rings, knots and apple, lemon and blueberry squares, along with a cannoli donut. Specials such as the apple fritter, cheese pockets, cinnamon swirls, Brooklyn jelly and a box of 50 Beach Bites rotate through, and crumb cakes come in original, apple, raspberry, blueberry, German butter and a seasonal pumpkin. Drinks are kept simple: hot coffee, seasonal cold brew, orange and apple juice, Yoo-hoo and water.
Anyone set on a particular variety is asked to call the night before or that morning, and larger requests go through the Order Request form on the website. The stand builds platters and donut displays for business meetings, open houses, holidays and breakfasts, and makes a large birthday donut sliced like a cake, donuts arranged into numbers, wedding favors, a Donut Smash Cake and a Baby's First Donut.
