Updating my review based on my latest experience. I placed a preorder for a birthday party and the process was easy, but the donuts were stale. My friend asked "are these from Holiday?" (for those who don't know, that's a gas station...) I said "no these cost $50..." I am wondering if they made these donuts the day I placed the order, which was almost a week before the selected pickup. They were very stale, dry and hardly any sprinkles compared to the pics advertised (see pic). The bday girl loved them until we ate one so it's the thought that counts but I would never preorder again. read more

We tried 8 donuts and all were yummy, in different ways, except one. They were tender and some extremely flavorful. Staff were spectacular. It was our first experience there and we'll definitely go back! read more

I'll keep it short: 1) Minneapolis is a great donut town. 2) By and large I don't love donuts. Will grab one every couple of months. 3) By an order of magnitude, these are the best I've had so far in my N=4 (so far) study. I'll be back! read more

Glam Doll Donuts - Nice hang - Donuts Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Good American raised and cake donuts with far above average fillings and toppings. Toppings that they make and most definitely don't come from Sysco Far above average Plus espresso and drip coffee in a great building. But you have to be into pink. Lots of pink And great staff. Even tolerant of visitors from Wisconsin. read more

This is painful to write. I was a loyal customer of Glam Doll, as was my family. Going there was fun, and the donuts delish. And, OMG, vegan options too! But after seeing interviews from former employees on the local TV news -- all black femmes -- about how they were FIRED when they asked for better COVID precautions, I hesitated to return. (See link at end of this review.) Then I read a story about another employee of color who was laid off because COVID was hurting business. Although told they they could have their job back if/when business rebounded, the company opted to hire a new employee to replace them instead. This kind of mistreatment of BIPOC employees, particularly by white owners, is unconscionable. The owners did make a "we fell short of our inclusivity goals" statements on social media, but there was no actual apology or acknowledgement of harm. If you read these statements (linked below), you might notice that they sound more like a request for sympathy, rather than honest accountability. In short, I hope people will take their business elsewhere. These business owners had a chance. They should now make room for a shop that can operate ethically *and* make a mean treat at the same time. Maybe with hard introspection, restorative work, and time, these owners can return to the scene to give it another go. Again, I loved Glam Doll Donuts and gladly gave them my business. But knowing what I know now, they no longer have my support. WCCO-TV News: Fmr.

I have had donuts all over the country. Places that are suppose to be known for donuts and delish are just not as good. These donuts are some of the best I have had so far. The Expresso donut was by far my favorite of the boxed donuts that were at a party i recently attended. I am also a pinup model so of course the box was super cute and captured my heart. I did not visit the store. I had them at an after wedding brunch so I cannot comment on the service or the brick and mortar decor. read more

Sweet, sweet and more sweetness. Depending on which side of having a sweet tooth you are on, if you're a fan of very sweet donuts, Glam Doll is absolutely the donut shop for you. My wife and I visited Glam Doll on a recent Saturday morning at 10am for breakfast and we left feeling like our teeth were going to fall out. The shop was semi-busy when we got there, but by the time we left 30 minutes later there was a long line almost out the door. When we arrived, we were a bit overwhelmed by the number of different donuts they had. All of their donuts were clearly displayed in the glass cases under the counter when customers walk in. Not only did they have a large variety of donuts to choose from (with interesting names), but each one had its own unique design and ingredients. After some careful deliberation, we ended up getting the following 4 donuts to share: Showgirl - Maple Buttercream & Caramelized Bacon Femme Fatale - Fresh Raspberry Curd & Vanilla Icing Pinup Girl - Bourbon Infused Apple Fritter Pucker Up - Lemon Cream Cheese & Vanilla Lemon Drizzle To be honest, each one felt sweeter than the one before and by the end I couldn't discern which one I had just eaten because of the overpowering sweetness. By far, the one that stuck with us the most was the Femme Fatale, with its Fresh Raspberry Curd filling, which was mind-numbingly sweet. It was the kind of sweetness that makes you shut your eyes for a bit and wonder what you just ate. My advice is, if you have a weakness for sweet stuff, then by all means go for any one of these 4 donuts depending on which ingredients you like more, but if you're not into it, then skip the donuts here. read more

Without a doubt this is the coolest donut shop I have ever been in. Add to that, this has to be the most spacious donut shop I have ever been in. The layout makes for an efficient use of space; on more than one occasion I had to remind myself that I was in a donut shop and not a coffee shop. There is plenty of seating which includes tables/chairs, sofa/chairs and there is also a nice size patio in the back. The décor has a funky cool vibe to it; a little bit hipster with a little bit fun and cozy. It is absolutely an environment where one could stop by and get some serious work done (they have free WiFi) while at the same time a place where one could come to chillax. Also, it should be noted that this location is the original Glam Doll Donuts Shop; this is where the magic began. As for the donuts, they are heavenly. They have ~30 different donuts to choose from and a few of those are available as vegan option. Since it was my first visit I 'sampled' a couple (sample as in 'I ate the entire donut'); I went with Sugar Kane (classic glazed donut) and a Pecan Scotchie (caramel icing, pecans & butterscotch drizzle). Both were super delicious but that Pecan Scotchie was out of this world amazing (a dozen of those would not have a chance with me). That donut was light/fluffy and full of flavor; just thinking about it makes me wish they shipped out of state (thankfully, they do not). To go with my donuts I had cup of coffee (they serve Intelligentsia Coffee). The service was amazing; the staff was super welcoming and answered several questions asked by my friend. Because she was ordering a few donuts to take with on her flight the staff suggested which donuts would travel well. My only regret is I forgot to take pics of my donuts. I stopped in after having disappointing brunch nearby; needless to say, I was hungry and the donuts called my name as soon as I was seated. This means I will have to stop through again the next time I am in Minneapolis. read more

There was a snowstorm outside today so, naturally, my husband decides it's a great day to venture out to get some donuts. Despite the fact that it took quite a while to get here, it was well worth the trip and there was an ample amount of street parking on a Sunday morning. I've been to this location several times and there are some donuts I can never get enough of. Femme Fatale is always a favorite but I really do love every single donut I've tried here. We got a huge box and I can't remember the name of everything we got but I absolutely love every one just about equally! A new one we got this time was the Flirty Frenchie Crueller which was AMAZING! Perfect, fluffy, and delicious. The frosting was so creamy as well. We were also fond of Mrs. Cleaver, the cookie dough one. Everything was so good. And I love that they weren't too pricey either for specialty donuts. My mocha was great too - very creamy but not too sweet - perfect pairing with donuts. Yummm. read more

I've been on a mission to try all the donut shops in the Twin Cities. It sure did take me a long time to check out Glam Doll but that's because I've heard such mixed reviews that their overpriced and just okay. I still wanted to make my own opinion and try it out myself. I was going to a restaurant across the street for brunch for Mother's Day and I had no idea Glam Doll was there. I knew that I had to check it out while in the area. I walked inside and there was a Perry long line and it was hard to see into the case at the donuts. Once it was my turn, I felt flustered to order quickly and opted for the pecan scotchy and the Dark Angel. I took them to go. Once I was with my family, we spilt the donuts between us. We started with the Dark Angel and it was delicious. It's a donut with chocolate icing and filled with vanilla bean cream. It was so light, fluffy and delicious and it wasn't too sweet. The pecan scotchy was very fluffy and not too sweet but not as good as the other donut. Overall, the donuts are pricey but I thought there were delicious and I'm surprised that I liked the donuts so much! read more

From my understanding, Glam Doll is one of the popular spots for doughnuts. I loved the interior of the place, very pink and dolled up! There were such a large selection of donuts, we could not decide on which one to get.. so I needed up getting 6! Now I think how the donuts taste are the most important factor in the ratings. While it was nice to have so many different choices, BUT it was just all suuuuuupppper sweet. I get that donuts are are supposed to be sweet, but these were just way way too sweet to enjoy. I'll have to compare it to other donut shops to compare, but I'm giving this place three stars for now read more

If you are a donut lover, these artisan donuts may be just the thing you are looking for. There's so many choices. Expect to pay about $1.50 to $3.50 per donut depending on how artisanal you go. I had the "Calendar Girl." A gorgeous looking raised donut covered in chocolate icing with a large dollop of salted caramel in the middle. This is a mid-range price pick at $2.50. Highlights of this donut include its light, airy base. It was fried perfectly without any greasy feeling. The chocolate icing is dark and rich, and complemented the donut ring perfectly. The salted caramel is sweet. It's so sweet that it made my teeth hurt. The caramel seemed a bit light on the salt, and I would probably go for the "Chocolate Starlet" next time to avoid the caramel sweet shock. That said, it's a yummy donut, and I had no problem eating the whole thing. read more

Tasty donuts combined with fast friendly service. The donuts were sweet, as they should be, but not overly so. Overall, a nice experience.

I love this place. It is my kind of thing that is for sure. Bright, colorful and unique. Although I miss the Central location this one is amazing too. I LOVE their unique selection of donuts and I feel the prices are fair for these type of donuts. So cute to pick up donuts, or even an after date dessert. I always get the calendar girl. It is so good! Will always be a glam doll fan. Keep up the amazing job. * bonus when we were in San Pedro Belize we saw a glam doll sticker on a floating bar. It was so fun to see that being in another country but our favorite donut shop was represented. Come to find out the owner ( I believe) had put it there! read more

Best raspberry-filled donut I've ever had. You have to try it! It's filled with delicious raspberry curd!! I also loved the maple bacon donut- the bacon was thick-cut and smoky and the maple buttercream was pleasantly mapley instead of just sweet like many other maple frostings. My kids also loved their fruity pebbles donuts!! read more

I moved from a place where there is a donut shop on every corner. That's really not an exaggerations. In the Dallas area, you can't drive past any strip mall without seeing a donut shop, a nail salon, or a dry cleaner. Often they have all three. And a taqueria. So...this area leaves something to be desired in that area. It's not like I NEED a shop on every corner. But I'd like it to be convenient to pick up a couple of dozen on my way to work. This is obviously an upgrade over a local shop that has a few common options. I'd call this an elevated donut shop. I would go out of my way for these donuts. I've seen some people say they're too sweet. Which is a hot take for a donut shop. If you want bread, I'm sure there are other places to go. I thought the donuts were good. I appreciated all the options and all the craft put into the donuts. I thought the decor was nice. It's not the best donut shop I've ever been in. But it is the best donut shop I've visited in Minnesota. read more

I love my sweet treats and Glam Doll Donuts comes to the rescue! I have been to the Northeast location and now the original Eat Street location. Both locations are cute, to be honest, so I am not sure which one I like better. The noticeable difference was that I saw a lot more children at the Eat street location when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. This time I went with a group of 6 and a friend explained that if we bought as a group we could get a better price. Soo, of course, we ordered 6 and shared a piece here and there just to get an idea of the flavors: One Night moves: Blueberry Hennessey icing and blackberry jam Two Cosmopolitan girls: Peanut Butter and chocolate One Varga girl: Almond creme, chocolate icing, and shaved almonds One Dark Angel: Chocolate icing and vanilla bean cream One Sugarcane: Classic glazed. I truly enjoyed each and every one of these but my favorite was the Night moves because it pleasantly surprised me. The subtle Hennessy flavor mixed with the blackberry jam was just divine. All the donuts tasted freshly made and the aroma was so yummy as there was a mix of all the spices being used in the kitchen floating around in the air. I must return! read more

A reliable favorite, and open for takeout and preorders during this pandemic! Donuts are currently in a window and you go up to the door to order and pay. I always get the the Outlaw: a delicious cherry cheesecake donut that hits the spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. This location is smaller than the Northeast location but the decor is still great and plenty of choices to choose from. read more

Delicious donuts, as always! Order a day ahead for easy pickup! These will always be worth the money for me. The only bummer the last time was that there were not a ton of fruity/non-chocolate flavors. Don't get me wrong, I love chocolate, but sometimes it can be too rich. read more

They're extremely racist. And we're so rude upon me and my friends entering. She didn't greet us and continued to tend to her phone call after seeing us walk in.

Glam Doll Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm extremely disappointed in my visit to Glam Doll. I ordered one type of donut, and was given the wrong, more expensive one. I didn't realize it until I had left. Moreover, I was skipped in line and the man behind the counter happily took the other persons order, even though he had seen me waiting first. He didn't apologize or even acknowledge it. The donut was just so-so. *sigh* Such a disappointing experience. read more

My son recommended Glam Dolls and I decided to stop in for a donut and coffee. So many delicious looking options. I settled on the Pucker (lemon) and Misfit and an iced caramel latte. What I didn't do was check my bag before I left and as a result didn't realize I git the wrong donut. I don't know which donut the one with pink glaze was but it definitely wasn't what I asked for. The disappointment was real because I was so psyched and excited for the lemon pucker donut because I love all things lemon. The other donut I got was the Misfit. It was just ok for me. The overwhelming flavor was cinnamon even though the description mentioned orange and ginger. The latte was just an iced coffee, nothing amazing and because it was a cold drink, the caramel just sat at the bottom of my cup. I'd still visit again if I'm back in MN because I do love trying new flavors and places. read more

From NJ here visiting Minneapolis. I had to experience this place the reviews are all over the place. Some people say they are racist in the reviews I honestly didn't experience that, the place is welcoming and quite diverse, strictly about the doughnut it was superb I had the femme fatale a doughnut stuffed with raspberry curd I can tell it was really great and flavorful. I just didn't have more because I have reservation for brunch... The place has vibes of the Voodoo Doughnut Portland, they push the envelope with some taste combinations. The manager Sarah is so friendly. If I live in Minneapolis this definitely would be a stop in my day to day routine. read more

Everyone talks about Glam Doll and I don't think that hype is misguided! On a recent trip to Minneapolis I stopped into Glam Doll and took a dozen donuts to go. After walking through the door I was hit by a wall of scent wafting towards the door from the case of freshly made pastries. YUM! I got the classics; a few starlets, bam bams, sugar kanes, and show girls. All of which were absolutely delicious! Also available (in a separate case) were a selection of vegan donuts! This is pretty cool! I would love to see gluten free added to the repertoire in the future! It is hard to compare Glam Doll to other donut shops because there are so many layers to the experience there. The theme, the donuts, and great service to name a few. I have to land on 5 stars though. This place is awesome and you should try it! read more

For my 40th, I decided to place a special order for the big party. I communicated by email with, going by the name on the email address, one of the owners. She sent me a list of prices and photos of things they had done in the past, just to get an idea of what I'd like. After selecting the styles I wanted and colors, I was emailed the description of what they would whip up for me and the total. It sounded amazing and I was stoked to see it and taste it. I was asked for payment info, which I gave, and was told I could come by anytime after 11 am on the day of the party to pick up my order. Easy enough! The day of the party, I arrived around 4 p.m. to pick up the order and got deer in the headlights looks from the two employees working the counter. They had no idea what I was talking about. No order had been given to them and they scrambled to look through the system to see what was happening. I showed them the emails and they confirmed my card had not been run for the non-existent order. Ball dropped. Big time. The two employees found the order, but there was no way they could actually do what it was supposed to be with so little time. So, they boxed up a bunch of donuts and piped some stuff on some of the donuts and didn't charge me for the bummer of a deal. Kudos to them for doing what they could to salvage the order. I may go in to grab one at the case (maybe), but I for sure won't ever place a special order with them again. read more

The flavor offerings here are wonderful. We visited on a slow Tuesday morning and had plenty of seating for the family. Love the choices from the bake case. Really unique.

Very disappointed with this place because the customer service is atrocious. I like the vegan donuts but they never have any. I came all the way from California and have hyped up this from my previous visit. The workers are rude and dismissive here. They don't greet you, have a rude tone, very stern "no" when you inquire about how long the next batch of them will be made, etc. Honestly, it just put me in such a bad mood that even though the donuts are good, who cares. I had written this review at first with a 1 star, but i'll bump it to 2 solely because I think the donuts are good. Again horrible workers. read more

Stopped by around 8pm and we bought 3 donuts and got 3 free. Not sure if it was some sort of special but that was pretty cool. I absolutely love donuts and I'm quite picky and I feel like every time I've stopped by Glam Doll it's been because no other donut place is open that late. Donuts from GD can sometimes taste stale. Just your average joe donut shop but I feel like it gets a lot of people because of their aesthetic which is really awesome and the friendly staff. Very cute "insta worthy" shop. It's definitely worth checking out at least once! read more

I reached out to someone from Glam Doll Donuts to inquire about getting donuts for a wedding. The individual who responded seemed nice, and they shared a Google Drive folder with me for display options and the menu for the donut flavors. The reason I am giving this place a 1-star review is because when I went in to pick up my donuts for the tasting, the person behind the counter was pretty rude and just kind of shoved the box over to me. When I tasted the donuts, they were really dry and stale. Very overpriced. I'm glad we got complimentary donuts, because I wouldn't have paid for those. I emailed back the first person I contacted about choosing to go with another bakery for donuts, and they never responded. I just thought it was pretty rude, considering other bakeries I have visited and emailed saying I would be going to another bakery were very pleasant and thanked me for my interest in the company. I was trying to be considerate and let them know that I would be using another bakery, which I didn't even have to do. read more
