Mel-O-Glaze Bakery & Donut Shop

I was feeling donuts last week and looked at Yelp for some reviews for donuts and found a review that convinced me to try it out. Glad I found that review. This place knows how to make donuts. I arrived shortly after opening and was welcomed and offered to try a donut hole. That's the best welcoming I've had at a business SOLD! Those donut holes are fresh and chewy. There seems to be a lemon glaze over them. I also tried a maple bacon donut. It's a strong maple flavor do if you like maple, you'll love it. I don't like apple fritters, but when I tried a bite of my partners, I realized I should have gotten one for myself. The only Apple fritter I've ever liked. I will definitely be back in the future.

1) when you show up you get a mini donut!! And it was lovely 2) great kids donuts 3) we loved the donuts holes and bought lots!

I've been on a donut kick lately. My friends raved about this place and was so kind to pick me up a chocolate cake donut from here last Saturday. I thought it was okay. I loved the sprinkles on top and the amount of glaze. It did not have much of a chocolate taste to me. Kinda blah. Would I get it again? No. However, I'd come back to try a different type of donut... apple fritter or a cinnamon roll donut. Or whatever my eye catches the day I decide to make a visit for myself. I try to support local bakeries/shops, so I'll stop by for a visit in the future.

I've driven by this place a million times and never stopped. However, my husband and I had a need for "a sweet" on the way home yesterday. We picked up a dozen mixed donuts, and DAMN, have I missed out. Each one was better than the last. I was especially partial to the blueberry donuts.We smashed that entire dozen in 24 hours. Def be back! Thank you!!

The best donuts we've ever had!! They melt in your mouth and taste amazing! Very nice variety of flavors and they have delicious pastries too. Their donut holes melt in your mouth, and they always have free samples. Free off street and lot parking, close to Lake Nokomis. The female employee with pink hair is super sweet and helpful each time.

"Mel-O-Glaze: Home of Free, Legal Crack Balls" aka donut holes (lol)It makes me a little sad not to see a higher average rating for Mel-O-Glaze. It sounds like they had some poor customer service five or so years ago. I started going in 2021 and have only ever had amazing service and PHENOMENAL donuts -- they even gave me some free donut holes the first time I went. My family is from New England and they don't mess around with donuts out there... I have to say that the raised glazed twists at Mel-O-Glaze are (so far) the best donuts I've ever had. The texture is perfect and there's just a hint of orange flavoring that is *chef's kiss.* I also appreciate the humor throughout the shop (see pictures). Zero complaints. Minneapolis hasn't seemed to have caught onto the epic-ness of this place yet, but if you need me I'll be there eating my weight in donuts. Parking: I usually park on the street and haven't had an issue.

Best donut EVER! The same for the crispy. Our first visit, we will be back.Awesome shop, 63 years and still fantastic.

$48/dozen. If you want cub food quality donuts for LV prices, this is for you. The donuts are not extraordinary nor creative to garner this price.

New to the area and was craving a donut this morning. Decided to walk over and was pleasantly surprised to be offered a donut hole upon arrival. Ended up getting some glazed and cake donuts which were large and extremely tasty. In addition we got a few mini cream puffs that were delightful! Will be back.

To start off... I'm a donut connoisseur. I love donuts. I decided to visit this bakery on a Sunday afternoon and was the only one there at that time. A lovely woman greeted me and gave me a free donut hole right away - amazing. We got about 8 donuts: glazed, chocolate glazed, s'mores, maple bacon, mocha, an apple fritter and a few donut holes. WOW!! They were incredible. The perfect combination of fluffiness, moistness and sweetness. The glazed has a hint of lemon or orange to it which was unique but tasty.
