The last time I had a donut from Han's bakery was when I was in 8th grade. My math teacher would separate the class into two teams and gave the highest averaging team Texas donuts after each test! Literally the best thing ever for a 14 year old, a donut 8 inches in diameter. The place closed down for some years and an old employee picked up ownership and reopened it. Fast forward now some years and it's still delicious! Friendly customer service and good-quality donuts. The only thing I don't like is how far away it is! read more

Hans' Bakery - YUM! I haven't had a Texas donut since 8th grade when my math teacher used them as a bribe. - Bakeries Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

Bring these donuts to work and your coworkers will appreciate you! These donuts are just plain good. They are classics. You can't go wrong.

Have stopped in several times since the opening. The remodel sure looks better than the dusty, age-beaten interior and exterior from my days of eating here with the German club at AHS. I was here at about noon all three times, and the lines have been very manageable - maybe 15 people in line at any time, with 3-4 people behind the counter. The service is a bit disorganized - you have to wait until someone is free behind the counter and asks you what you would like - they then proceed to get your items, place them in a bag/box, take you down to the register, and tell the cashier what your order contains. That means that essentially two people are checking you out - very inefficient and time consuming. I always take my items to-go - the tables and chairs do not look inviting at all. They are all kind of packed into the half of the building, cafeteria-style. However, the donuts were delicious. We have gotten: The bee sting - not a honey person, but these were delectable. The cream was very light and fluffy, while the nuts added a perfect crunch. Maple donut, maple long john with nuts - the maple glaze is delicious and clearly freshly made, the dough has a nice bite to it and is moist. The TEXAS DONUT - got this for mom's husband, but all three of us had some and there was still about a third left over. These are giant. Raspberry-filled - pretty standard, sweet filling, sweet glaze. Apple fritter - SO GOOD. The apples are soft but crunchy at the same time, somehow, and it's just a perfect marriage of dough and fruit. I'm sure nostalgia is drawing many customers here, but the baked goods are great as well! The normal donuts are fresher and better than at Cub, and the specialty items are wonderful. A bit pricy, but I will be back whenever another donut craving hits, and to try out any new additions to their menu! read more

Very friendly staff, and very helpful. Grabbed their Pesto Turkey and a Rueben, both were amazing. Their pastries are also very good. Everything is made from scratch, which means everything is fresh, which means I'm happy . Can't believe I knew about this place for years but never tried it. Glad I did. Will come back! read more

Its a bakery, and it's yummy. What else do you need to know?

Hans' Bakery is a great local gem located in Anoka. The nostalgic phase has passed allowing most people to actually get in the door and purchase their favorite pastry. I went in on a Sunday Morning at 10am and had no issues getting in the door and ordering. Inside The floor plan is open with a variety of seating options. The seating is divided by a large table (image provided) that includes coffee and a variety of prepackaged breads. The dark wood flooring is nice and the bakery is very clean inside. Order The ordering process feels like I'm inside of a Subway or Potbelly. You'll stand in a roped off line until the next person is available to help take your order. Going down the line you have the opportunity to order some classic favorites like old fashioned and frosted cake donuts. Some of the unique options include the BeeHive, BeeSting & Texas Donuts. Price The bakery is sits in between premium and value pricing. The cost is between $1 - $3 per donut depending on the type. Overall it's great to see Hans' back open. It's great to see the community and former loyalists line up for a taste from their younger years. One last thing...Hans' just broke ground on an outdoor patio. Although Winter is coming, this patio will serve great and provide a nice ambiance while enjoying a delicious BeeSting. read more

I know a few donut fanatics that'll eat any dough fried in oil. I'm not really one of them. I think that as a chubby dude already, a little discretion is in order. Han's in Anoka is the best straight up donut I've had. They are simple bring to the office or take a morning family trip kind of donuts. Not a patisserie I guess is what I'm saying. The execution is what really sets it apart. The apple fritter, the old fashioned and the custard filled are basically perfection. The place is clean and the staff is patient and friendly. Not a huge parking lot but I've never had a problem finding a spot. Most donuts will cost you in $2. Unless you go with the Texas. At 3.25 it's the size of your face. read more

Hans' Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

My favorite donuts in Minnesota. It's not a super trendy ambience like most donut shops popping up downtown, instead the appeal is the product itself. The donuts have the perfect sugar to dough ratio. They also have more than just donuts, they also have sandwiches, cupcakes and their famous bee-stings. The bee sting is basically a cream puff cut in half but much better and with almond slices and powdered sugar over the top. If you can I would try to avoid stopping by around 3:30 during the school year because they pull quite the crowd from the adjacent middle school. They also are very busy in the mornings because it is close to downtown Anoka, but it is worth just about any wait. read more

Love love love!! I grew up in Anoka and once a week we would stop and get donuts. Sad when they closed but so happy someone opened it back up and still kept the charm. Donuts seem to be a little more spendy but I don't mind at all! read more

Hans' Bakery - Thank you to the gentleman who paid for our donuts. He was in front of us and so sweet! - Bakeries Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

Donuts. More donuts. And even super donuts. What can't you like about this place. It is obvious from the crowd that Hans is an institution in the area and they have just about anything sugary and good you might want. From the twists to the donuts, all were done well and tasted great. Servers are friendly even with the long line waiting to get their fix on. Just great. read more

What a gem in Anoka! I was surprised to find such a spacious, cute bakery with a huge selection of donuts and baked items, as well as food in this part of the 'burbs. The chocolate donut was decadent and the raspberry-filled was out of this world. A huge plus for me is that they also have gluten-free muffins, donuts, and cookies from Sift Bakery. I had the banana chocolate chip muffin and it was such a moist and perfect little thing. I don't know if it's much healthier than a real muffin, but at least I couldn't tell the difference! You really have to time it just right if you want to get the best pick. Last time we were there around 11:30 on a Sunday, a ton of the flavors were already sold out. Service is usually friendly although the one time we felt rushed to take our pick. That won't deter us from coming back to try everything they have! read more

I am really happy that Hans Bakery re-opened. The donuts taste amazing and they use the original Bavarian cream to fill the Long Johns. They are slowly bringing back the menu items. What I am looking forward to the most is Hans's Cinnamon Bread. They ran out of the Bacon Maple Long John's the time I went so I will be returning very soon! read more

Hans' is worth a stop every time you're in Anoka. Everything they make is incredible. So many pastries are WAY too sweet. I don't like my teeth to ache when eating a donut. Hans' stuff is sweet but it's not too much. It's just perfect. The 3 words you most need to know are Maple Bacon Long John. Pillowy, doughy Long John with maple frosting covered in TONS of bacon pieces. It's a symphony of salty, savory, and sweet. Their other signature item is a Beehive and smaller Beesting. Think a cake donut sliced in half horizontally and filled with honey, flavored buttercream. They add a dusting of powdered sugar and almonds. read more

When Hans's first reopened the service was terrible, lots of people behind the counter but just not much getting done. They were slow and seemed more focused on what was going on behind the counter rather than people at the counter. The good thing was that the counter and donut cases were ALWAYS full - really good selection. They have now been reopened more than a year. Frankly service hasn't improved that much. Far fewer people working, but still very focused behind the counter rather than the customers. The additional problem is that this is the third time I have been here in the past 4 months and I've seen the same thing each time - it's 7:24 AM, they opened 24 minutes ago and the cases are EMPTY! How do you open a donut shop/Bakery on a Saturday morning and have empty cases when you open?? They really need to focus on what's important if they want to survive long term - good customer service (which they've not had yet) and having what customers want when hey want it. Dunkin Donuts is coming to the area, get it together before DD does it for you. One last thing, to be totally fair, I think the donuts are good, better than average, that's the only reason I have them 2 stars instead of 1 - cupcakes and cookies are good too, when they have any! read more

Hans' Bakery - Empty case at 7:24 - right after opening. - Bakeries Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

A good place to get a good, basic, plain old doughnut. They don't have any special flavors or varieties, but what they do do, they do well. They stick to the basics and do it old school. But sometimes that's just want you want/need. Definitely recommend. read more

Always love Han's! Always great to the community as well. Their desserts are always delicious and fresh and the customer service is always very positive and understanding. read more

Great donuts. Would recommend to others for a good donut and possibly other good treats there

Really impressed with Hans Bakery! Made my first stop on a Thursday morning big and they had quite the crowd! Service was fast and it looked clean and well maintained. Will definitely come back for more donuts! read more

You need to update your hours it says open until 4 on yelp and open until 4:30 on maps drove here to find out you closed at noon. Please update read more

Hans' has been our go to for the last three years since we've moved here for birthday baked goods. We have always had a great experience with their cupcakes and birthday cakes. We are excited for this year's round of treats but were a little bummed that part of our order that we placed a month ago was lost when the time came for pick up. Customer service was great and helped us with a refund on the lost portion of our order. We will definitely come back again, but may be a little more proactive on our end and confirm our order a day before. What we were able to pick up still looks delicious :) read more

New owners changed too many items and recipes. No more Old Fashion's. Donut Holes and Apple Fritters are smaller. Bee stings are now dry with little cream. Filling has diminished in Bismarks. Prices have risen. Staff is less friendly - most likely because they no longer like working there and listening to all the complaints. The owners also own Woullet's and are bringing in products from other stores versus making them fresh in the cute little Anoka bakery. They are using machines (instead of employees) to mass produce cake donuts. It is such a huge disappointment to see this local favorite change for the worse. read more

I have had better tasting donuts. Cool to see the huge donuts, staff was nice, but overall....tastes like Kwik Trip. May be your thing :)

My favs are the maple bacon glazed long john and raspberry rosebuds. My kids love the Texas donuts for special occasions (without breaking the bank!). read more

Hans' is a neat bakery, everything here is better than the norm and baked fresh daily. This is one of those old bakery's that hasn't changed a bit for as long as I can remember, you almost feel like your taken back in time as soon as you enter the door. A must try is their famous "beehive" or one of their delicious light doughnuts. They also have a nice selection of freshly baked breads including Black Forest and a really killer Bavarian farmers bread plus much more. There is plenty of seating here so don't be in a rush if you swing in, I'd recommend taking your time and dining in. The staff here is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about their products. This place has been here for years and for good reason. It's located right next to the Anoka middle school and can get extra busy right after school, I'd say this is about as good as it gets and a must try if you're in the Anoka area! read more

Employees were pleasant, but disappointing that they were not following Covid-19 mask protocol. Although the masks were on the face, their noses were not covered. No social distancing guidelines on the floor. Most customers were not wearing masks as Han's does not require them. At best, Hans is making a half-hearted response to the pandemic. read more

Still got the same options but boy has the price sky rocked food is okay support local

Cute little bakery with a variety of items. There was a delicious looking cherry chocolate cupcake that I am still thinking about and wish I would have gotten. I ended up getting the Bee Sting, since that's what they are kind of known for, so I figured it must be good. Actually it was fine, nothing special, but good. Basically it's a cake with cream filling and topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar. Prices were average. Not a great deal or anything. I'd come back if I was in the area and had a sweet tooth. read more

Growing up, we used to stop at Hans' after church & my sister and I would split a Texas donut. Now that I'm an adult, I get my own damn Texas donut. Hans' also has tons of other stuff besides my gluttonous nostalgia, some stand outs are the apple fritter, the cupcakes, and the long johns. The staff is great, usually local kids. My only complaint is that they're a little pricey. I can go to other bakeries in town & pay half price for nearly same quality, but that dang giant Texas donut just calls my name sometimes. read more

Beehive is a must! Sponge cake filled with Bavarian cream and topped with almonds and powdered sugar is amazing! Texas sized donuts are huge! Tastes just like I remembered. read more

This last time even worse. I decided to give it another try, after all; everyone deserves a second chance. It was a mistake! The place is actually slower and dirtier than previously mentioned. So very disappointed, I'll stick to my other bakery. read more

Have to give these guys mad props. My sister just visited there and showed up shortly after they closed and forgot her wallet. The owner was kind enough to let her in and gave a ton of pastries on an IOU. I understand they have great baked goods but this is the kind of service you just don't see any more. She was shopping for my brother who's going through some really tough times medically, so it was even that more special. Please give these guys your business. I'm sure you will leave happy and full! Cheers, Luke read more

Han's is back and better than ever!! I was there on Saturday, March 1st and at 9:30AM I had to wait about 30 minutes in line - there were literally a hundred or more people in line. However it was completely organized, and when I got to the counter, the workers were SO friendly and very efficient! I discovered the Maple Bacon Long John - I will get a dozen of these next time! Welcome back, Han's!! read more

Great baked goods- the bee hive is phenomenal! Comments about service and line length are true. Don't plan on a quick stop, it will take you 15 mins at most times. The wait is worth it. I am sure the owner will work out staffing issues and processes. read more

Great tasting donuts! I buy a couple dozen once a month for my employees. Glazed, cake, maple, sprinkled, off-the-wall fantastic! The staff is very friendly too. Be sure to get there early AM as the donuts are even more fresh! read more

Old school bakery, what's not to love? Beehives! YUM! Texas doughnuts! YUM! Happen to be on the Halloween parade route that enabled me to try it. Also found out there's one in Navarre near me! Hooray! More gym time will be worth it. read more

Really good donuts!! My wife and MIL visited the store (I just got to eat the tasty treats that they brought back). We shared 4 of the donuts (my favorite was a cake style with vanilla frosting) and also later shared a beehive cake (also quite good). Only thing that left me disappointed was the cinnamon roll that we ate the following day. Maybe if we had eaten it the day of it may have been better but it was dry and disappointing. read more

Since the reopening, I've only had doughnuts from Hans (and they are awesome). But I needed a dessert for a party last night and decided to stop in to see what they had. They had a beautifully decorated cake right there in the case. The price was very reasonable so I bought it and hoped it would be good. It was the hit of the party! Everyone talked about how pretty it was and how great it tasted. Highly recommended. read more
