Let's just say, it's hard to find a good donut in MN. However, Donut hut does it right. Their dough…read moreis perfectly moist and not dry like most places you see. Especially delicious is the raised donuts. Donut Hut has a lot of cinnamon swirled varieties to choose from as well. I would suggest going for a twist donut

I came in today 5/5/26 a Tuesday morning at around 5:30am or so and ordered 2 dozen donut holes…read more The woman behind the counter seemed perturbed and said she didn't have any and that it would be -- emphasis on: -- A WHILE until they were ready. I said, oh no, I drove all the way here for them, I ain't leavin, I'll wait. She hollered back to the cooks and asked how long on the donut holes and they said it would be about 10 to 15 minutes. I said I was fine with waiting and I picked out some donuts from the case. Listen. I get it. You want fresh donuts for everyone. You don't want customers waiting even though you have designated dine-in seating that I have seen made use of on a Sunday morning by the 60+ sect with copies of the day's newspaper available to them for reading. But I was nothing if not fully and totally amenable to the prospect of waiting. I drove out here, I used the gas, and frankly, it was all I wanted for my order. I came specifically for the donut holes and the extra donuts were for my bf. It's not to say he doesn't like them, he very much does but he can't get his mitts in fast enough to get them before I gobble them all down like some sort of baked goods hobbit goblin. My Precious(es). I like that the sugar glaze makes them crunch and you can taste the butter. They're light and airy and they make me happy. Anyways. I would like to note that the last time I put an order in ahead of time, it got lost in the shuffle and when I came to pick it up, it wasn't ready and instead of taking the risk and missing out, I just went to the shop and ordered them right there and I figured by doing so close enough to open, they'd have donut holes available. I didn't know they were essentially made to order but I presume since I arrived a half hour after they opened, they surely must have simply run out. To that end, I don't see how it would really matter all that much who buys them and how much of them are bought considering you're still getting paid, whether it's my money or Burt's, our cash is still the same shade of green and still fits the same way in your register. So time ticks on, I'm waiting, another lady purposefully walks in and walks around the counter with all the authority and lateness I would expect from a managerial type. I couldn't make out all of what was said but I did hear, ".....No. She's waiting on a dozen donut holes..." So then I got concerned bc I thought they were gonna cheap me out and only give me a dozen when I paid for 2 so when I got my donut holes I asked for another dozen. The manager possibly owner type takes my box and puts another dozen in. I ask if that makes 3 dozen and she said, "I actually put more than that in there." All of what I'm recounting to you should ultimately be what one might consider a 5 star review but I can't bring myself to do it. I don't know what is going on with customer service in general but I blame the cost of living crisis. It's pushed a bunch of ppl who have no business interacting with customers into jobs where they have to interact with customers and they are doing a horrible job if it. It's not rocket science. Customer service has the easiest formula on earth: 10 foot rule; you see a customer w/in 10ft of you, you say hello and ask them if you can help them with anything. They give you their order You say: Great choice, but it's gonna be about 10 to 15 minutes, are you okay with waiting for the best donuts in the twin cities? Customer says yes. You: Sounds good. Here's a newspaper if you want something to read. End of interaction until you hand me my order. Very simple. What you don't do is try and talk me out of giving you my money. And when I try to give you MORE of my money, you don't respond like I just told you your cat has cancer. You just give me my f*cking donuts and you smile and we f*ck off until I see you again when I want a lard and carbo bomb in 7 months man. Why is this such a difficult concept? I'm not even asking you to be fake nice to be but don't try and weird me out of buying your sh*t. What's the point then? Alternately, when the elderly ladies are working, placing an order has them diving for donuts like they're dodging a Blitzkrieg. It's very unnecessarily chaotic. I would be okay with changing my review if they maybe take it down a notch but I doubt they will.

Did an online order and it was ready in time, easy to pick up, and I was out in less than a minute…read more I did puffy's 12 special dozen that comes with a long John, apple fritter, twist, and 2 filled. The rest were random cake and raised donuts. I also ordered donut holes and they were placed in the same box. It looks like they gave a few extra donut holes. They donut holes came in glazed or cinnamon. There is a lot of parking.

I love this place. The donuts are always fresh and the ladies friendly. Plus donut holes as a bonus…read morein every dozen

We stopped here on Father's Day as part of a donut tour my kiddo put together, and I'm so glad this…read morewas our first stop -- holy moly, these are some of the best brioche donuts I've had. My husband and I loved how lightly sweetened both the cream and the dough were. My tween was a little indifferent and would've preferred something non-cream filled with more sugar, but that's a tween for you. It's a smaller space with some seating, but the seating doesn't have windows, so we opted to walk across and enjoy our donuts while wandering the farmers market instead -- honestly a perfect way to eat them. If you're a donut lover, put this place on your list even if you have to park and walk a bit. Worth it.

I can't give it more than four stars for reasons I'll get into but I definitely recommend trying it…read moreif you are around when they're open. It seems that they are rightly known for their sweet baked goods, hence the name, but they have some savory offerings as well. I had heard good things about their congee so I made a point to try that. It was good! Filling, plenty of meat. I also have had a unique, savory roll that was buttery and great, I forgot what it's called but it's good. And I had a Lychee Rose brioche donut. Decadent! Delicious. Loved it. I got a Vietnamese coffee one time that was great, and a matcha milk with ube foam that was also great. So, yeah, really everything I've had has been great! The opening hours are painfully limited. They are only open from 9am to 1pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And both times I came it was close to noon and they were sold out of LOTS of things. I'm convinced that if you go there because you want something specific, you simply can't trust them to have it available. Instead of planning a specific visit, the wiser approach would be to give them a look if you're in the area during one of the 12 hours they are open in a given week, and see if you're interested in what they aren't sold out of. They have an indoor counter which you get to via the main entrance on 4th street, and guessing your way through the halls until you find them past that gallery. There is also a seating section which has the ambience of a break room at a DMV. But there is also an outdoor window on Saturday & Sunday, with some seats set up in the alley; that description sounds dicey but it's perfectly fine. My hope is that they improve on some of this to make for a more predictably positive experience!

11:00 am and pretty sold out…read more Donutholes $2.50 for 6 delicious brown butter glaze which is their signature. Simple but so good!!

We tried the brown butter soft serve ice cream and chocolate cake doughnut. Both were just okay in my opinion. Honestly, I was disappointed. It wasn't anything to write home about for me and I likely wouldn't return. It just wasn't flavorful at all. Interaction with the staff member wasn't anything memorable, it was transactional. Small area and not much waiting space. They do have some seating outside to enjoy your picks.

A…read moreclassic donut shop with a great variety of raised, cake, old fashioned, french, and decorated varieties too. A very friendly and patient worker helped me get a good mix to try (kids like that the frosting was different flavors). I would recommend trying Luna Donut if you liked the original donut star off cliff road that Mark or Jill owned several years ago then you will like everything about this classic donut place. It is worth a drive if you live in the south metro. Owning an independent donut shop is a labor of love and all about the local community. My family was fortunate enough to continue Marks legacy and have that experience while we owned the original Donuu Star several years ago. I plan to visit this local gem on a regular basis and hope you give them a try.

Simple cute little shop with limited but good donuts and ok coffee. 3.5/5…read more The donuts aren't too sweet and they're fluffy. Some donuts like the glazed options are a little more pricey than grocery store or other local bakeries but reasonable for a local shop and the donut size being a little bigger than other bakeries. Some classic cake donuts and simple glazed donut options. They have a special donut which is basically like their seasonal flavor, so that changes. I like the cinnamon swirl and my husband likes the apple fritter. We also had the coffee, which had a little burnt taste for us so we'll skip it next time. The donuts are a little dry the next day but still delicious. Good experience and definitely planning to come back in the spring for the soft serve- just didn't get that feeling of itching to come back anything soon.

On Thursday's and Sunday they have an added selection of vegan doughnuts and on Wednesday they do gluten free!! This is a small location but does have some seating if you want to eat your doughnuts right away. They do have coffee as well but I didn't try that this go around. I got a strawberry filled/ strawberry glazed vegan doughnut- it was delicious! I wouldn't have known it wasn't made without dairy, butter or eggs at all! The doughnut was light and fluffy! The jelly inside didn't taste fake and had big pieces of real strawberry! Soooo good! I couldn't help myself and did get their pistachio Cronut (picture a croissant and doughnut had a baby. This was not vegan) it was soooo flaky, had the perfect amount of sweetness and was absolutely amazing! I have had cronuts before and would have liked to see this one thicker but honestly it was soooo good I'm not sure I missed the height. I already want to go back and try other flavors!! Sooooo tasty! Definitely check this place out!
