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.

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.

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.

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.

Worth the drive on Thursdays for vegan doughnuts! A runner up for the best in the Cities - their flavors are so unique! Very tasty, fun and affordable. A place mostly just to get in, get your goodies and get out - not a great space to hang out in. Staff was friendly and helpful.

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- OyThis 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 donutThe 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.

We have visited Uffda a few times since they've opened. They always seem to have a regular flow of customers and it's nice that it's connected inside to Great Harvest. Parking is very limited and I have always had to park around the corner. Once inside the space is small so if there is a line it can get crowded. Seating is very limited but there is a cute photo op wall once you get your donuts. It's an Instagram-able location.Once you get up the cases you better be ready to order. I've always felt a little rushed in picking donuts and since the varieties are vast it is hard to take them all in and know exactly what you want right away. They priced their donuts as classic, special and fancy and their half dozen and dozen donuts are priced accordingly based on the mix as well. Classic dozen is $19.60, half classic half special or fancy is $24.95 and a dozen special/fancy will set you back $33.95. The donuts themselves are unique for maple grove and the fancy and special come with a variety of flavored icings, fillings and toppings like cereal, bacon, marshmallows, cookies, etc. There is so much going on with the fancy ones that it's difficult to have a full one since they are so rich. The downside to that is that if they are saved for any longer than a few hours they start to become soggy from all the "stuff". So, don't buy extra to save them for a few days. They are best eaten the same day. They are good donuts for a special occasion but a bit pricy to be the regular go-to spot.

I am not a big Doughnut person but I do appreciate a really good one. If you are into trying specialty doughnuts this is the place for you. One of my coworkers stopped and picked up a box of doughnuts for us on the way to work. She got different flavors and so we decided to try a bite of each. She bought pistachio, coconut Caramel, ube, Maple Bacon and a chocolate frosted one. My favorite was hands down Ube and second favorite was the Pistachio. The Ube really has that distinct Ube flavor in each bite. Pistachio was on the milder side of pistachio flavor but combined with the crunchy texture of the cake Doughnut it was perfect. I will definitely have to stop in and pick up an Ube Doughnut all for myself soon.

When I heard they had gluten free donuts every Wednesday, I had to go. They had 5 different "flavors" of gluten free donuts. They are all the same base donut but with different toppings...yes toppings..not just frosting. I chose the chocolate cherry and double chocolate. The chocolate cherry was cherry frosted donut with chocolate drizzle with chocolate crème filling. The double chocolate was similar but with chocolate frosting.Both were very very good. The donut was more like an old fashioned donut than a raised or cake donut.When I went to pay, I realized why it's called Uffda...$7.90 for two donuts! UFFDA! However, on a special occasion (like being gluten free but wanting a donut), probably worth it. They had a ton of other delicious looking donuts as well. It would be hard to pick with all the options.
