Heights Bakery will be going on my list for overly delicious donuts !! I purchased a variety of 6 donuts, and my favorite is the apple-stuffed glazed. The blueberry filled one was also so yummy. Service was super friendly and very quick! Inside looks clean and well-kept. I will be coming back soon! read more

I couldn't believe there was a line out the door at 8am on a Saturday! New to the area, a neighbor recommended Heights Bakery for donuts. The donuts were fresh and flavorful, service was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. We'll gladly drive the 8 miles to reach this bakery! I highly recommend the apple turnover. read more

My dad loves apple fritters, so when his 60th birthday rolled around I knew I had to go get him the best fritters the city had to offer. I had not been to Height's before, but the reviews for this place really raved about their fritters so I figured they would be a safe bet. I got to Height's just after they opened...so at 5am. The smell of DELICIOUS donuts greeted me before I even got to the door, and I felt reassured by my choice of going to Height's for my dad. I went inside and there were a few other early morning customers there, and it was a Wednesday! I can only imagine how busy they are on a weekday if they were already bumping at 5am on a Wednesday. I got a box of a dozen different goodies. I got a lot of apple fritters, some cinnamon-roll maple donut, a chocolate dipped donut, and a glazed donut. They were all warm when I got them, WOW. My car smelled heavenly on the drive home. My dad loved his apple fritter(s), and thought they were fantastic. The donuts were also delicious, we tried them all and struggled to pick our favorite. I'm not usually a donut person either, so the fact that I devoured mine really was surprising. The price for all the donuts was also really affordable, I was expecting them to be more than they were. So overall, a fantastic spot! I will definitely be coming back to get more donuts soon. read more

Heights Bakery - a box of assorted doughnuts - Bakeries Near Me - Columbia Heights, Minnesota

Heights bakery has absolutely amazing pastries all around. The raised and cake donuts are simply delicious and the apple fritters are to die for. I love their danishes as well! It's no frills, but the service is friendly and the food rocks, so I will be going often. read more

The finest donuts in MN. When I understand that I really need a donut it is a simple process. Get into car, drive the 8 miles from my chair to Heights on Central Ave. Return to chair & gaze at my beautiful golden cake donut for a couple minutes. Then I take a bite. Perfect. read more

Wow! Delicious donuts, well made. Does not disappoint! Our family will definitely return. read more

I was super excited to try the baked goods after reading all the reviews and seeing the pics, but the experience wasn't the same. Lovely woman helping out asked me if I wanted a bag or box. Given the selection I opted for a bag. There was hardly any variety left and it was still earlier enough not to be close to closing time. Picked two crullers which are usually my favorite, but these two were kind of dry and the frosting had a strange synthetic after taste. Also got a danish of some kind which was okay. Prices are very reasonable. Selection was dissapointing. A few crullers, and lots of empty trays along with some smallish cookies. Not sure this visit was worth the trip, but maybe will pop in next time as early as possible. read more

After seeing that The Heights Bakery was on best of MN list for donuts on Yelp (and they are not far from me!) I had to try them. They thankfully have one dairy free option for me so I don't feel super left out when I get a box of donuts. The dairy free option is like a turnover filled with fruit and they are delicious warm, same day! No complaints from the donuts from my team when I get them. No gluten free options sadly and no sourdough. A really quant, sweet little shop with nice staff. Very old school. read more

I drive here in the wee hours to get the BEST doughnuts in the state. Cannot speak higher for their glazed, cronut, Bismarck, the list goes on. Absolutely delicious. Priced so reasonable --- thank you so much! read more

Like the neighborhood bakery I had growing up, but now it's in the middle of a strip mall. Great tasty goodies, different kinds of buns & breads. Friendly staff-thank you to the young blond bakery worker! We enjoyed EVERYTHING we bought there. We really got a chuckle at the "monster" donut there! read more

A MUST VISIT BAKERY! My fiance and I visited early on a recent weekend morning - even being there somewhat early, there were things already halfway gone and you can tell there are many fans of this bakery! Staff were so friendly in assisting us in finding out perfect picks - everything looked so fresh and tasty! It had the welcoming feel of a small town bakery with small batched goods and friendly workers. We got a good variety of things mostly based off of staff recommendations but also what looked good. We loved each and every thing! Already planning the next time we are going to visit Heights Bakery! For sure when we host out of town company, a brunch, or want a morning date out! read more

The food is delish. The maple bacon cronut was like almost too much but I ate it anyway. My delivery driver (Ben) could have been more punctual. read more

Okay, I only have one thing to say, get there early if you want to actually see or taste glazed donut from this place! They run out fast! I was saddened by the empty bakery shelves!! Very good bread also!! read more

Great neighborhood bakery. Nice selection of goods. Very friendly staff. Never disappointed.

FINALLY found delicious, calorie-free donuts!!!! Just kidding ;) but they are delicious!! Can't believe I've been down the street from this gem and haven't tried them until today. Picked up a dozen for me and my coworkers and everyone had raving reviews. From what I heard they were all great, but I tried the round raspberry jam filled donut and OMG... it was amazing!! It was huge and FULL of raspberry jam. So sweet and fresh. read more

Heights Bakery - Glazed Donuts, Pistachio Muffin, Strawberry Muffin, Raspberry Danish, Blueberry Donut. - Bakeries Near Me - Columbia Heights, Minnesota

Love, love, love... Nothing makes my day like a cinnamon maple from Heights Bakery! Everything in the case is insanely good though. Best customer service from the sweet staff! Due to Covid only three people are allowed in the store at a time. I appreciate this as there is only so much room along the counter and it could get packed on a Saturday morning. I never have to wait outside though, as I am an early riser. ;) Get your donuts here! Worth the drive! And I will drive for donuts... read more

I've been all over the world and the heights bakery is my favorite place for doughnuts. They are the most delicious and they are not even that expensive. I was just checking to make sure they are open so now I'll leave a review. I am not surprised they have so many positive reviews on here! read more

First time coming to this location. I must say the bakery is quite cozy very kind people/workers. Theirs a good amount of sweets to pick off from plus regular bread for sandwiches/toast. Food: Every pastry was very delicious. They were well made and fairly warm. One of my personal favorites is anything with coconut. I enjoyed every bite out of my coconut donut read more

Heights Bakery - Coconut donut, pecan roll, blueberry filled donut, coffee turnover, I forgot the names of the big ones - Bakeries Near Me - Columbia Heights, Minnesota

Excellent donuts and friendly service! Their raised donut dough has a very homemade, original-type texture and taste to it. It's hard to describe but to sum up, it's quality. They also have a great variety of cake, danish donuts, fritters, and so much more. I definitely would recommend them and hope they continue to stay in business for years to come. read more

Absolutely delicious breads, donuts and other goodies. The onion rye is a family favorite!

I've never been her personally, but we often get treated to these donuts at work. They have the best cake donuts I've ever had!

This is the best bakery in the Twin Cities in my opinion. Wished they still made date cookies though.

This is a review for their cakes, I have not tried any other baked goods. I didn't see a whole lot of reviews about their custom made cakes, so I thought I would chime in here. I took a risk ordering from this bakery for the first time for my husband's 50th birthday party, and the risk paid off! Their cakes are absolutely delicious, moist, and the simple decoration was lovely. Only reason I didn't give five stars is they only have a couple choices, and they won't do much in the way of decoration. But what they do, they do very well! Everyone at the party complimented the cakes, which were: 1) Vanilla with lemon curd filling and vanilla buttercream frosting, and 2) Chocolate with raspberry filling and chocolate buttercream. The fillings are optional, and cost a little more. But soooo worth it! You can also get marble. Definitely recommend if simple and delicious is what you are going for! read more

Heights Bakery - Simple and delicious old school Birthday cakes! - Bakeries Near Me - Columbia Heights, Minnesota

Hands down one of my favorite bakeries- so many excellent options to choose from. You literally cannot go wrong with what you choose. I bring home a box of a dozen donuts (always for under $9) and my family devours every last one of them in a day... though on the rare occasion that they aren't immediately gone, they hold up well for a few days instead of being stale overnight. There's tons of bread/ cake/ cookie options as well! *Fancy donut connoisseurs* be warned- this is a no frills joint and you won't find siracha/ espresso/ bacon or some such irregular styles of donuts here, these are classics. BUT, they're classics for a reason. Really, if you're into baked goods, give it a go, it's so worth your while. read more

Outstanding pastries, rock bottom prices. These places don't exist anymore except in your dreams.

Height Bakery has the BEST donuts in the whole Twin Cities! Hands down. You can tell by the line outside the bakery almost every morning. The glaze is phenomenal and the apple fritters are absolutely delicious. My favorite is the apple-filled raised donuts! Their donuts are soft and pillowy and the sweet is just right - not too sweet. I highly encourage everyone and anyone to stop by Height Bakery (even if it's out of your way) to grab a dozen or 2 cause you will not be able to stop with just one donut. read more

Everything I've ever gotten here is phenomenal. Their date cookies are my mom's favorite thing on Earth, she literally told me she loved me more than the day before the last time I picked them up for her. Their donuts are fresh and reasonably priced. I'm a big fan of their filled bread too. Made french toast with their raspberry bread this morning. Run, don't walk, next time you're in the area for some dang good donuts. read more

Best hamburger bun, breads and pastries. Convenient location with easy parking. Friendly staff. Best smells when you walk in the door.

After consistently hearing about this as one of the top bakeries in the cities we had to pick up a couple donuts. They didn't have extravagant options like some of the others, but they do the classics well. read more

Good donuts, the raised donuts have a denser consistency, I prefer a lighter fluffier raised. The cake donuts were good. Filled donuts were good too. Donut Hut has my preferred raised glazed. read more

Best donuts and bread ever!!! I have grown up getting treats and bread from here. I love the Dutchy crust bread!

A Real bakery! Awesomely delicious bel treats and bread and buns , would definitely recommend them

So far, we have gotten only donuts from this place, but they are donut-a-licious. A wide variety of choices, both filled and frosted, both cake-based and yeast-raised. There are things that call themselves cronuts, which are quite frankly huge, you should bring a friend. I am not sure they are quite croissant-like enough to merit the name. They're closer to a fritter minus the apples. They are priced old school, super cheap, and you will make a lot of people happy if you show up with a dozen or two. Our work team devoured them. One is always uncertain about coffee at a traditional bakery, but it's pretty solid joe here. You won't be happy if you're the type who needs a pumpkin spice half-soy no-gluten mochacaramelcino, but if you just want a basic cup of black with your donut, it'll do. read more

Heights Bakery is hands down the best bakery in NE (I can't say the cities because I haven't eaten all the donuts). Glam Doll, Cardigan, and all those others are good, but if you want a truly delicious, classic donut, Heights is the place. I've had a variety of donuts there and all have been fantastic. Their cronut is RIDICULOUS! So good! And their prices are good. I usually get 18 (for work) and it's about $25. Their bread is also fantastic. And the woman who always helps me (short dark hair) is so nice! Get there early because they do sell out of some types. The only bad thing I can say is I wish they were open Monday's since Monday's suck and donuts would help make it better. read more

We were in the area for a wedding and had to try this no-frills bakery. It definitely did not disappoint. The two donuts we got were extremely soft and the perfect sweetness. It was not overly sweet or overpowering. I had a hard time splitting with my wife. I may have taken an extra bite or two when she wasn't looking read more

This is nearly the weekly stop for us on the way to teach school to our home schooled grandkids. Class before the donuts
