I also prefer stuffed doughnuts (like a good Boston cream, etc) but they don't have many options for those. Instead it seems they prefer to put a dollop of the cream in the hole on top. I tried the cookies and cream and the cream cheese in the middle was odd.. it had a stretchy consistency. I like their Cinnamon Toast Crunch one, that one is probably my favorite. They're good and I love the variety but I've had better doughnuts.

Went on…read morea Sunday morning and it was really busy - no indoor seating but there are 3-4 tables outside. There were only 2 people working, so there were a bunch of people waiting for their orders and service was slow. One person was at the cashier, the other was packing doughnuts, making breakfast sandwiches, and the coffees. We waited 5 minutes in line and then another 10-15 minutes for them to pack our 4 donuts. I wanted to get a sandwich but figured the wait was too long. On to the donuts - I liked the blueberry basil and blackberry lime donuts. The blueberry basil flavor wasn't super strong but it was well balanced. The blackberry lime was my favorite - sweet and a little tart. The crobar (croissant-donut) texture was awesome but I did not rally taste the cranberry or orange advertised. The buttercream frosting on top was sickeningly sweet so ended up scraping that off...finally the coffee donut. Not my favorite but not bad - it tasted like instant coffee and was kinda punchy coffee flavor, bitter. But I liked that the bitter offset the sweet. Overall, it's a fun place for a gourmet donut but be sure to not get here when it's too busy and to come early - they sell out of fun flavors fast!

I was really impressed by the variety of items, the delicious smell, and the welcoming atmosphere. There was a small line outside, but it moved very quickly.

Everything tasted delicious, especially the crab dip bagel even better than I expected!! The banana pudding was very good, and I really loved the tuna salad sando. You could taste all the fresh ingredients, and the bread was absolutely delicious. Overall, it was a great experience. Ethan was very nice, friendly, and helpful.

The ambiance was beautiful--very clean, cozy, and just a really nice place to sit and enjoy your food. It does get busy, but they're very organized and communicate wait times right away, which makes a big difference. Now the food: Donuts: SO good--soft, flavorful, and definitely a must-try. Cheesecake: A little on the firmer side rather than super creamy, but still tasty. Margherita pizza: Great flavor (9/10). Personally I'd love a bit more cheese, and it's on the thinner side, but for the price and portion, it's still a solid choice. Pulled pork special: 10/10--absolutely delicious. Fried pickles: 9/10--slightly salty for some, but definitely worth trying. We dined in and also did takeout on two different days, and both experiences were consistently great. Definitely a spot we'd come back to!

I was greeted right away and helped right away. I got 2 chocolate frosted donuts, a cinnamon roll, a slice of strawberry shortcake cake, and the large glazed donut. It was fairly cheap (about $14ish dollars), and they only take visa and Mastercard. My husband enjoys the chocolate frosted donuts a lot. The glazed donut hit the spot! Although, I could not finish it. It was that massive. The strawberry cake was super light and fluffy. The cinnamon roll was fine , it was more of a donut cinnamon roll! I would definitely come back here. Great service and amazing donuts/baked goods.

I love how they're made with little balls because it's the perfect way to try every single one. My tip is to tear a ball size off each donut you get and eat it.

You'll find yourself enjoying each bite and picking your favorite out of the bunch. My family and I eat mochi donuts like this and we all chat about which one we like amongst other topics.

This was my first time visiting the German holiday market in Baltimore, which is kind of surprising…read moresince I've lived in the DMV my whole life. After walking around and trying a few savory things like bacon, schnitzel, and a raclette sandwich, we decided to end the night with something sweet and stopped by the mini donut stand. The first thing that caught my attention was the long line -- which is always a good sign. The second good sign was being able to watch them make the donuts fresh right in front of you. I'll happily stand in line any day for fresh food, especially when you can see the whole process and watch the magic happen. I went with the cinnamon sugar mini donuts and wow... they were so good. Fresh, crispy on the outside, warm, and perfectly sweet. The only thing I wish I had with them was a cold glass of milk -- although I'm not sure if they offered that. Honestly, I'd come back to the market just for these donuts. Eating them fresh right on the spot is definitely the best way to enjoy them, but they'd also be great to bring home and pop in the air fryer to get that crispiness back. My friend got a different flavor (I can't remember exactly which one), but both were incredibly fresh and the kind of treat that makes you want to keep coming back for more. Next year when the market returns, this stand is definitely going on my must-visit list again. After enjoying all the savory food at the market, these warm mini donuts were the perfect sweet ending.

We ordered at one of two kiosks but there may be an option to order from a person as well? I got the fried green tomato and pimento cheese biscuit that I added an egg to, and it was great. The tomatoes themselves could have been seasoned a little more, but the buttery biscuit and the flavor of the cheese compensated just fine. 10/10 will eat here next time I'm in Baltimore
