I genuinely don't like donuts all that much but this place was fantastic! Came here really early in the morning and was surprised there was already a big line. I ordered the Caramel Delight and I thought it would be more like a Girl Scout Samosa cookie flavor but it wasn't. The donut itself had a great texture as it was both cakey and had the donut/bagel bit to it. Also I really appreciate it wasn't that sweet and the coconut shavings really balanced out the caramel flavors.Definitely recommend when in Minneapolis to check this place out. Also, I do have to say that I was super impressed by the fact that the dining space was huge and there was plenty of different types of seating available. You could really work from here and treat this like a coffee shop. Also for Valentine's Day they had a mini craft area where you can make Valentine Day cards using their templates!

Donuts were brought to a department meeting and I was able to try a couple different flavors. The dough of the donuts was delicious. It had a yeasty flavor that does not often come across in the fried donut. These donuts are melt in your mouth soft and had a pillowy texture. I personally am a bigger fan of donuts that have a sturdier an slightly denser texture. Even for donuts I felt these were pretty sweet.

Cardigan Donuts is an absolute gem! Their old-fashioned donut is a must-try--it's perfectly crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The old-fashioned with chocolate was hands down my favorite--rich, decadent, and absolutely delicious.The apple fritter was another highlight--crispy, sweet, and so enjoyable. I also tried the blueberry donut, which tasted just like a fresh blueberry muffin--such a delightful treat! While the coffee cake donut wasn't my favorite and not a flavor I'd pick again, it was still well-made and enjoyable in its own right.Overall, the quality and creativity of their donuts are top-notch. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu. We were back a few times during our stay for snacking and just because it was so good. The service is exceptional and friendly the moment you walk in the door. The inside is cute clean and cozy with tables and chairs to sit at inside. They were located right off of our hotel and through the skyway so you didn't need to walk outside at all. They did close pretty early around 3pm.

Best old fashioned donuts in the city! Don't believe me? Try them for yourself!Some local Minneapolis coffeehouse sell these donuts, but they're best right from their downtown bakery. They have a basic lineup, but create a number of specialty donuts each week. This time I visited and there was death by chocolate, chai coffee cake and so many more! They also make delicious parfait bowls and gourmet coffee drinks. See pics if weren't already feeling hungry!Be sure to get their newsletter and sign up for the birthday club.

A Cardigan donut; cozy and very comforting! While walking thru City Center Mall, by accident I came across Cardigan Donuts located on the 2nd floor down the way from Chase Bank. Being a true donut diva, I wanted to go in and look, select and taste all the types of donuts; old fashioned, glazed raised, filled, cake and iced. I didn't see a cruller but I got there later in the day so they could have been sold out along with Boston creme (my favorite). I'll be back in town next week to try those. I challenge you to make the cruller if you don't already. Not many places get this texture right. I believe you can! The shop was beautifully laid out and I liked they had donuts showcased front and center! These beauties weren't going to last the rest of the day. It's small batches here and not production baking so you get a better experience. Naomi helped me with my order, was so nice and packed my donuts neatly. The Critique: 5/55- Excellent quality ingredients used and flavors were exceptional. 5- Not a spot of oil or oil residue in the box even after 2 days! Box was also paper lined. 5- Unique Orange curd filled donut was sumptuous made with fresh orange juice and flecks of orange peel! 5- Perfect crack on the old fashioned 5- Glaze and icings like silk - not gritty 5- Powdered (sugar) perfectly dusted on the donuts and not all over you or other donuts in the box! Subtle coating as it should be! 5- Glazed Raised - Perfect rise and rest time on the fry screens before frying - Wound love to see Crullers (I might have been too late in the day to snag one!) and a Dutch crumb featured

First of all wow, this place is huge. So much space to sit and loved the little fireplace. Really the interiors were just so nice. However we got our donuts to go. I have to say that they had some really fancy seasonals with lots of extras on top of a donut but those really weren't as good as their more basic donuts. One of the seasonal choices I think was a strawberry cheesecake but we really didn't get that cheesecake flavor and it was our least favorite. I also got a kombucha here. Ordering it was a little strange. I asked the staff what the flavor was but instead of telling me they just asked if I wanted to sample it which is great but I'm still not really sure what flavor it was but c'est la vie

I've been to Cardigan Donuts both times I visited Minneapolis.Their donuts were amazing! So fresh and tasty. Not overly sugary sweet, soft and light texture. Perfect size, not too small or too large.The flavors we've tried include: glazed cake, blueberry cake, chocolate iced cake with sprinkles, jam filled powdered, cinnamon sugar cake, old fashioned glazed and apple fritter glazed. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the blueberry cake but they were all delicious.The service was great both times as well. The staff members were friendly and helpful.We will definitely be back next time in town.

My favorite donuts in the Twin Cities. While yes, I feel it's a tad pricey, I also feel it's worth it. I used to stop by a lot more when I lived in the area, which was nice. Especially on the bad weather days when things were slow and they'd offer deals to clear out product. I was once offered a dozen for the price of one. Sadly I declined since I was on a diet and had no business being there in the first place.Their raised & cake donuts are so soft, and moist. My favorites/ recommendations are always the: glazed donuts, glazed old fashioned, powdered, vanilla glazed with sprinkles (raised), French crueller, and anything with coconut That said, everything is delicious so you can't go wrong!
