Donuts may be guilty pleasures for most people, but when you visit Fray's Donut House, the guilt totally disappears.

The shop has been successfully doing business in St. Petersburg for many years and in addition to their donuts, they offer breakfast sandwiches and coffee all at reasonable prices. But of course, the donuts are the main attractions and with over 20 different varieties, you're sure to find a dozen that's just perfect for you!
