Customer Reviews

The freshest donuts in OH! Being St.Pattys Day we understood it would be a busy day - the service was incredible, very friendly and helpful. Biting into both the Oreo glazed (which was a generous size) and the glazed croissant, was deliciously fresh with a slight crispness- perfection! We suggest buying extra for later as you will want another!

I love this lil? place! The apple fritter is out of this world with tons of cinnamon and apples throughout. My son and I couldn?t stop raving about how good they were. Friendly, patient people who don?t mind offering recommendations?and I love that they sell individual milks from a local dairy. I hate that I don?t live nearby, but I?m already thinking of what I?d like to try on my next visit.

I tried their egg, cheese & potato burrito for the first time and it was delicious! It has so much flavor and the green salsa they give to go with it was the perfect touch. Would definitely eat again! The staff is always nice. I also like their donuts. I haven?t had something there that I didn?t like.

Quality selection of fluffy donuts, tasty fritters, treats, and drinks. The service was wonderful. I am looking forward to trying my next batch!!

First experience there and we will definitely be returning customers. The food was delicious, especially the biscuits & gravy. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming to myself and young daughters (1.5 and 3 years old).

SUPER cute little location with delicious donuts! Mimi herself is such a wonderful lady and the rest of her staff is also wonderful. All of the donuts are top tier, and when available they offer tres leches cake, which I love! Can't wait to go back!

Once you find this place, you?ll want to go back. The people are amazing and so friendly and the donuts are delicious. We especially liked trying some of the unique ones like the peanut butter filled bismark and the banana pudding filled long John.

I've been coming to Mimi's for many years and I have never been disappointed with anything that Monica and Albert have sold or tested. I love being able to come in early in the morning and just sitting and having a nice chat with them both while enjoying a cup of coffee.

Best place in the area! Service is impeccable and staff super friendly. My boys can?t wait for Friday morning donuts - this place is a treat!

On a shop service basis this was my favorite donut trail stop. She is personable and lovers the sweets craft! The most popular is chocolate croissant with 3 strips of chocolate but the seasonal less know is pineapple upside cake that should be tried! For the donut trail comparison of the glazed plain yeast donut it was solid but not my favorite of the trail. The dough was perfectly dry with a bit to sweet glaze. This place is a must!

They are so nice and the food is great too

If I could give her a 10 star review, I would! Her donuts, Danish, fritters, and all pastries are fresh and so yummy! Her breakfast sandwiches and burritos are so very yummy! Her milk is fresh from a dairy.

What a pleasant surprise and a find for me. This morning, while delivering some irrigation pipe to a company i see this donut shop across the parking lot. I went in and got a couple donuts and a breakfast burrito, and let me tell you. It was delicious and the very nice lady. Working in there is unbelievably nice, helpful and very generous and a sweet soul. I highly recommend this place if you like donuts, or anything of the sort. Thank you guys so much.I've very much enjoyed my donuts and my breakfast burri

Love this place the quesadilla and the burritos were insanely good! Great customer service and very comforting vibe here.

Might have hit them on an off day based on the other reviews. The donut for the lemon blueberry donut was dry and the apple fritter was raw in parts in the middle. Flavors were great, but the fry on the donuts seemed to be a little off.

Very cute shop with a large selection of goodies! Loved the danish and cannoli. Best place to grab breakfast burritos or biscuits&gravy.

Their Frosted Coconut donut was heavenly, try this if nothing else while you're there. My wife really enjoyed their PB Buckeye donut

Mimi's is a good Bakery the donuts looked great. The staff was very friendly. The donuts are a good size! The yeast glazed twist were not airy, Their dough seams to be a little dense or heavy. The filling was a little lacking. I stopped at 4 Bakeries on the Donut Trail and this one was tied for the Third of the day! I will definitely give them another try. It us a little hard to see from the road.

I Love coming here, it?s close to my house, the donuts are always fresh and soft. I?m very picky about donuts, and these ones are just right. I always get greeted with a warm welcome, very sweet lady, donuts aren?t priced high like other places, and someone is always in there buying something. I love how peaceful/chill it is when I go to buy. Thank you for the great customer service !

I came in for donuts and they were so friendly! You can tell hospitality by the regulars they seemed to have today. She was SO sweet and being my first time in person, I didn't feel rushed to make a decision. The donuts are so fresh and tasty! Also HUGE! I got 6, a custom assortment of all kinds, for only $10! I recommend the Boston creme completely full after a first bites versus places that only fill a couple bites, the blueberry are my favorite from Dunkin and hers top those! Also the cinnamon sugar twis

Another stop on the Donut Trail! My family and I loved the Reese's donut, and we can't wait to come back and try more!

Monica was super friendly and welcoming. She specially made several donuts for me that weren't in the case. She even helped me carry everything to the car since I had my baby with me in his carrier. I just tried the donuts and they are delicious with a great variety! Monica's excellent service and the tasty donuts are the reason I will definitely be back for more!

Monica is amazing! She makes you feel wanted there, not just a customer and the donuts are just as great! I stop by whenever I?m near there! The local milk (cookies and cream) is also a winner!

We visited while doing the donut trail! Excellent donuts and super friendly service!!

My wife and grandson and I went there as part of the Butler county donut trail. The donuts were awesome. I would recommend the cinnamon roll, it was huge. My grandson love the strawberry icing donut. If you're ever around millville Ohio, I would recommend this donut shop.

The first time I came here I was not a fan because of the workers attitude, it was like she was bothered that she had to get off her phone to help us. I decided to try again and the other worker was so much better and friendlier. There was a group of old men sitting inside helping themselves to coffee. The donuts are really good

went on Mon9/9/24 at 6:05 and they were not open. I suggested an edit to their hours. other times I've had donuts here they were good and the people were friendly ????

I popped in for an early morning donut run. It was very friendly, and my coworkers all LOVE the donuts, especially the peanut butter one! Great variety and all tasty. Great little spot!

Excellent, friendly, high class

Outstanding experience at Mimi's today. Incredibly friendly atmosphere, delicious donuts. Might have to start popping in on my way to Oxford in the mornings for breakfast!

Came here because it is on the Donut Trail. Do yourself a favor and just grab the stamp at this one. It is the only donut shop from whence I've ever purchased a donut that wasn't worth eating. I couldn't spit out the one bite I did take fast enough. I will not be returning here. Interestingly, I like Duck Donuts (not on the Donut Trail, but not far from it) much better than any of the donut shops I tried on the Donut Trail.

Great selection and even better customer service!

This is such a cute little morning shop! The two ladies working were as kind as could be! Loved the mini frosted jelly filled! Excellent! Had they not been on the Donut Trail, I may not have tried them; since they are so far away from me! They were excellent, worth the drive! :)

This donut shop is under new management and oh my lord are they delicious!! Ms. Monica had sent us a box full of her godly creations and my mouth is STILL watering 3 days later! Love this place.

Stopped here for the geocaching donut trail and was greeted with warm smiles and the smell of fresh donuts. I think I got an apple fritter(my favorite) and one other donut here and was not disappointed. The staff were super friendly and I'm glad I could stop by.

Lady employee was friendly yet annoyed with our group on the donut trail. Donuts were fairly priced and ok.

A huge thumbs up on the chocolate glazed, banana pudding filled donut recommended this morning! The donut filled cases were a work of art! Strawberry shortcake donuts, mango pineapple donuts and a strawberry donut creation that looked like a rosette!

I stop there about every other week, usually on Thursdays. All of the donuts we have tried have always been good. Usually get glazed or chocolate covered but sometimes filled or apple fritters. Would stop more often if Mimi's wasn't 4 miles from our house.

Boston creme (with custard) was great. Coconut yeast donut was yummy and the kids loved the kid-sized donuts with sprinkles. Excited to try their apple fritter. Definitely would be willing to go back because it wasa decent price also.

Yum! This bakery was so good! The cheese crowns were amazing! We will definitely be returning customers. Another big win for the Butler County Donut Trail!!

I cannot say enough good things about this place! The donuts are PHENOMENAL! They are fresh, soft, airy and delicious! The staff is always smiling and friendly. I tell everyone about this place and keep going back for more.

Great little donut shop! Loved the mini filled donuts, perfect if you can never make up your mind! One of our favorites on the donut trail.

The Ohio TuesDayTrips gang found Mimi's Donuts and Bakery to be our halfway point through the Butler County Donut Trail. We were out ranking donuts from 1 to 10 and getting stamps on our Passports for a Donut Trail T-Shirt. Mimi?s had the worst pick of the day, and one of the better ones. The Jelly Filled Bismarck was very good and drew a respectable eight out of ten. However, the Chocolate Cream Filled Bismarck drew a four. It actually should probably have ranked lower as the taste left in the mouth from

Hours show this place is open until noon, but we came at 10:30 AM as part of the donut trail and they were closed. Helpful to abide by POSTED business hours especially when you are trying to grow your business! Sadly disappointed as we are from out of town and won?t have another chance. Zero stars for this business and we will also report them.

The donuts are soooo good. I love that they are little because it allows me to try a ton of there many flavors. The service is excellent. Can?t recommend them enough.

Great selection, great service! I lived in Goshen for a long time and THOUGHT that Holtman's were the best donuts around until I tried Mimi's. They're fresh, delicate, and airy.

Awesome customer service! Mimi is very friendly and warm-hearted. Her danishes and donuts are the best!! Recommend all to stop by and support this local business!!!

I absolutely Love Mimi's lil kitchen. She's adorable?? and the donuts are awesome!

Staff was very nice, the donuts were delicious. Went as part of the donut trail and enjoyed a cream horn and a jelly donut. I recommend you stop through.

I come for a donut every sunday before work, and it is the highlight of my week! The donuts are always yummy and the staff are always very nice. Can't reccomend enough!

Coffee wasn't great. Donuts were alright. The apple fritter didn't have much apple taste at all and was over fried

Found Mimi?s on the Donut Trail! Great donuts - and the conversation with Mimi was fun. She took a picture of my Green Bay Packers Super Bowl ring!

Wonderful donuts. Clean and friendly atmosphere. Great selection. Get there early. They are very popular and sell out fast.

Not much of a selection and they sell out/close early. I didn't like the coffee either. Not open on Mondays. Aside from that if this is the closest or you find yourself nearby and they are open, you can buy a donut here.

Great donuts and specialty items, flavorful and fresh! Delicious!!

Amazing food, lots of variety of food.

We stoped by not realizing they had closed, they invited us in anyway and we had a delicious treat! Thank you so much

Great donuts. So soft. A lot of times you eat donuts and they feel so heavy, both when you eat them and afterwards. Not these. Well worth stopping to try.

Owner is an amazing women. She really has made this the place my kids love to go!

Donut Trail. The lady was nice and friendly. The donut and cinnamon roll were tasty. Huge!

Yum!!!! Amazing cinnamon roll! Great donuts! This business also gives back to the community!

The teenage staff members are by far the rudest, most crass set of girls. The desperately need to learn customer service. I have never been treated so poorly!

They have a very tempting donut selection.

Nice place but not a large selection of tee shirt sizes.

Love there different choices of donuts and they usually have at least one special donut.

First time there. And glad I came. The donuts were great. Will be back for more.

Fresh donuts freindly staff love it and try there cherry cream cheese pastries soo good my fav

Everything here is always very, very good. Friendly service and great pastries.

Best in Butler County. Staff is very friendly and service is quick. Large selection. The Apple Fritters are the best

Okay service. Some of the donuts were dry but the yeast donuts we had were delicious.

They are some of the sweetest ladies I know!! ?? There donuts are sooo good too ????

I like the men who frequent the shop. This place usually has a line but plenty of doughnuts.

Amazing little shop. She was my favorite hostess on the Donut Trail!

Monica was welcoming and kind, highly recommend stopping in if you have the time.

The twist donut with chocolate icing tastes extremely salty. Our first time there the other ones were ok

Love the feel of this small bakery. The staff is friendly and the doughnuts are awesome !

Staff was so nice! Donuts were great.

Great customer service but probably the cheapest made donuts you could imagine.

They have the best blueberry donuts! You have to get them with the lemon glaze.

Super friendly and fun staff! What a great donut trail stop??

Great variety of donuts and great tasting too!

Great shop, yummy donuts and nice staff.

Amazing fresh breakfast

Just recently moved to the area. Everything tastes incredible & the young ladies working were very friendly..

The taste of the donuts was divine. We will be coming back again.

A stop on the Ohio Butler County Donut Trail, great donuts, nice selection and the staff were really friendly!!
