    Uffda Donuts is such a great donut shop in Maple Grove! We grabbed 2 fancy donuts and it was $5 total - I thought it was a good price. Service was quick, even with the line on a Saturday morning. Place was cute inside with lots of seating.

    Fun donuts, nice people. My only critique is that it seemed odd that the fancy donuts were down low and not easy to spot. It was a nice post race treat.

    This review is for the vegan donuts that I so happily ate! Being lactose intolerant is rough when you absolutely love donuts, but Uffda Donuts is the solution to my problems when in Minnesota! On Thursday and Sunday they have vegan donuts and they are delicious, I highly recommend. I tried some of their fancy donuts and some of their jelly donuts and they were all so delicious, I couldn't get enough. The service is great and they were so patient when I couldn't make up my mind.

    Sweety was a positive, prepared, and amazing professional! Great people! Great product! Highly recommended!

    Stopped in to get treats after walking dogs. I had heard people talking about the donuts here so figured a trial run would be good. Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance was light and upbeat. Lots of donuts to choose from, with a number of more specialty looking options. Donuts were tasty enough, not enough to make them a go to when I'm bringing donuts to a photoshoot, horse barn or dog school.

    In the haste of the moment, this was the only retained proof of the joy experienced, and the name evades me, but here is a picture

    Uffda Donuts: A Beacon of Fried Salvation in the Outer Realms There's a donut shop in Maple Grove named Uffda. Of course there is. It's the most Minnesota name imaginable--equal parts apology and exclamation. And tucked just beyond the shopping district's edge, near the freeway like a getaway car with sprinkles, it waits. I arrived weary. Spiritually dehydrated. The kind of fatigue that only retail parking lots and seasonal allergies can summon. But Uffda? Uffda restored me. The donuts are not merely good. They are transcendent pastries, each one a rebuttal to the culinary sins of mankind. Flavors swirl in combinations that defy logic and embrace joy. Even the vegan options--served on Thursdays and Sundays--carry more delight than a pocket full of arcade coins and a fresh skee-ball wrist. I sampled a rotating selection. One bite and my existential dread took a coffee break. The texture? Pillowy. The glaze? Reflective enough to show you your better self. Succulent may not be the traditional word for donuts, but in this case, it fits. These are succulent spells, fried and frosted. Inside, the ambiance leans cheerful but intentional. Local art pops against warm wood accents. Neon incantations glow beside shelves lined with edible relics. The staff operate like flavor clerics--efficient, warm, and sometimes even whispering patrons into pastry salvation after posted hours. Window seating invites reflection or rapid sugar inhalation, depending on your spiritual state. The shop itself feels like a soul hospital. A place where the weak and weary check in, and leave with powdered sugar on their lips and renewed purpose in their hearts. The neon sign says "Uffda Donuts Make Me Happy." It's not marketing. It's prophecy. Final Thought: Uffda is not just a donut shop. It's a flavor sanctuary. A roadside shrine to joy, tucked in the outer realms, waiting for the next pilgrim to whisper "uffda" and be healed.

    One of my friends brought half a dozen doughnuts to our girls weekend. We cut them up so we could try bites of all of them. The mango one was my favorite! They looked so good and were delicious!

    Our friends brought a box of mixed donuts to a get together. We were thoroughly impressed with the uniqueness and quality of the donuts. My favorite was the cronut - it was flaky and light! We sampled multiple donuts and, regardless of the style, they were fresh and delicious. We will definitely stop in on our own some time.

    Dude, these donuts are delicious! (As my kids like to say). I'm not just talking about the fancy creative ones. Even the basics are a notch above everywhere else. The Old Fashioned comes in plain and sugared, and they're both amazing. Crisp and toasty on the outside; soft and tender on the inside. The Boston Cream comes with a generous blob of custard inside. Who is sick of the almost dry ones that you get at the grocery store? The custard even tastes like real homemade egg custard, not just cornstarch pudding. The Vanilla Glazed and the Red Velvet are both good, not too sweet. There are so many places that have gorgeous over-the-top donuts that taste dry and old. These are simply the highest quality, most delicious donuts.

    We absolutely loved it here! So many fun and unique flavors to try from. I immediately said that we need to come back again so we can try more flavors. I love that they had some vegan and gluten-free options as well. On certain days of the week they also offer fresh gluten-free or vegan. I believe gluten-free donuts are on Wednesdays. I tried the Ube raised doughnut, and the hot cocoa raised doughnut. They were really delicious! I can't wait to come back and try their other unique flavors.

    Such a cute place! Staff was so sweet and friendly. The vibes are relaxed and casual. They have a huge selection of donuts to choose from, some staples and some specialty. These donuts are HUGE, which I love and the prices are reasonable. Greqt for eating in or carrying out.

    In early December, I was streaming Fox 9 Good Day. Uffda Donuts had opened a new store in Maple Grove. In late December, I was in Maple Grove. I was fuelling my rental car. Across from this gas station was Uffda Donuts. I remembered the donut segment that I had seen online. I needed to visit this donut joint afterwards. This donut store is next to Great Harvest Bread Co., in a small plaza. When you walk into the store, there isn't a wall that separates the two places. There was lots of parking in this plaza when I was here. I backed into a spot and walked in. There were two folks seated in the store, savouring baked goods. There was one person ahead of me. It allowed me to take a good look at all baked goods that were available and decide what I wanted. The owner, Mary Sang, and her hubby, came from Cambodia. They love Minnesota so much that they decided to use a Minnesota saying in the name of their business. Uffda is a Scandinavian saying that can express surprise, bafflement, or dismay, depending on context. Some equivalents: - Oh, dear - Oh, *#$! - Ugh - Oy This place prides itself with its scratch-made donuts. Some are made vegan or gluten-free, depending on the day. I wanted to get a couple of items. My eyes lit up looking at everything. I got the following items: - Apple fritter - Strawberry-filled donut The woman behind the counter was competent, but wasn't the warmest soul that you'll encounter on this planet. I paid with a credit card. All went well. I thanked the woman who handed me my goodies in a cute bag. I headed to my car and tore into the apple fritter first. The apple fritter was amazing. It had lots of apple bits with cinnamon. There was glaze on top that made this fritter sweet, but it wasn't disgustingly gross. It was the best apple fritter that I have had in the while. I had the strawberry-filled donut when I got back to my hotel room. The reason why I didn't devour it earlier was because it had sugar all around it. It would make for a messy eating experience in a car. It was better to be messy in a hotel room. I liked the strawberry filling. It wasn't overly sweet. It was generous. The donut was fluffy and yummy. It could do without the excessive sugar coating around it. I enjoyed my baked goods from Uffda Donuts. If you like fancier donuts, you need to visit this place. I had a yummy time. (15)

    The donuts here are definitely donuting! The glazed donuts are fluffy and looked amazing but the cake donuts are what I surprisingly enjoyed the most here! The service was friendly but because there was a line, the staff did seem overwhelmed and had to walk around each other often- this made it kind of hard to hear each other. The space is small but I love how it's connected to Great Harvest Beard Co next door- making it easy to stop by both for local baked goodies. Some small criticisms I have are: 1. The donuts are kinda the same- just with different filling + whipped cream. 2. The glazed donuts were not dry which is great but was a little undercooked for my preference. 3. All the donuts we got were very sweet- would have been nice to see a savory donut or something tarty to contrast out the sweetness. 4. Skip the drinks. Most of the drink menu wasn't available yet and for the ones that were, the drinks we got here were kind of watery. Maybe it'll get better in time. All in all- I'm still definitely coming back though to try different flavors.

Salad was good and the house blue cheese dressing is good. Baked potato done for easy eating and the insides were soft and flavorful. Hot dinner rolls too. Service was excellent and they even had a group of 40 in the back room. Ambiance is old time supper club. The value for the money is good. Give this place a try!

    This review is going to be difficult to write because I have such mixed feelings. My last rating…read morewas a five-star review and parts of my wife's and I experience merit another five stars, but parts of the same experience merit a one-star. And that makes it difficult! Let's start with the positive... Their prime rib continues to be fantastic. It's meaty, flavorful, and juicy. After having some prime rib specials at other restaurants, I can really see that they quality varies. In addition, Dehn's dinner comes with excellent Parker-house rolls and butter, cup of au jus, and a baked potato -- all of which is good. It also comes with soup or salad. Their Beef Barley soup is one of the best version of beef barley soup that I've ever had. It's loaded with ingredients, the broth has a deep flavor and I have always enjoyed their version of it. So far, this is five star territory. However, on to the not so good... I ordered the prime rib medium rare and it was clearly medium to medium well done. Honestly, if you want medium rare, medium well done is a big disappointment. I asked the waitress for a more rare piece and when she returned she told me that the chef said the piece I got was from the center of the roast and was the rarest piece they had. Although they took $8 off the price, it was not a great experience and the meat just could have been much more juicy and tasty if they had cooked it properly. But there is more. My wife order the fried chicken and for the third time in a row, they said they didn't have it. (Dehn's, if you don't carry it, either take it off the menu or tell your guests about it before they order). My wife went with the grilled chicken breast, which arrived looking like and tasting like either a frozen piece of chicken, or a bad airline meal (for those of you who can remember that). It was really tasteless and dry. In addition to all of that, we waited 15 minutes to be seated in the nearly empty restaurant because (we were told) they were short staffed. In fact, there seemed to be one waitress and one kitchen staff person for the restaurant. Service was slow (although friendly by the person who wasn't really a waitress). So what's up with Dehn's? The area around the restaurant is turning from farm land to housing. The hours of the restaurant have been cut severely and they are now only open for dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. My gut tells me that they are "caretaking" the restaurant and that although they have been open since 1958, I doubt they are going to see 2028.

I was a regular at The Lookout before this, and have easily spent thousands of dollars at this establishment, but I will literally NEVER go back. The bartender wouldn't allow us to sign our own tab, so she signed it herself right In front of us, which as far as I know is illegal. Maple Grove has so many options, and this is easily the worst customer experience that I have ever had. GO ANYHERE other than this place. The waitress will yell at you, call your entire group liars, and then kick you out for being upset about it. If you want to be treated for trash, even if you are a regular and tip over 30% every time, the this is the place for you.
