Customer Reviews

Today was our first time in. I went with my son right as it opened! The staff was super sweet and welcomed us in! We ordered a dozen and got to watch the donuts be freshly made and glazed right in front of us! They provided a couple free donuts for our first time in as well. My whole family devoured this delicious mini donuts! We will absolutely will be going back again!

This cute little place is a gem with friendly staff I have ever met! My daughter took sometime to pick flavors and she wasn?t rushed at all! Donuts were made right in front of us with LOVE! The owner gave special treatment and offered to have extra donut as treat. DO VISIT THIS GEM WHEN YOU NEED DONUTS. YUMMY

The donuts are awesome! I always order ahead and they?re always fresh and ready when I arrive. The staff is always courteous and friendly. My whole family loves this place!

Got 48 donuts for a party with a Groupon deal & the staff were very friendly and quick with our order (made & packed within 10 minutes). Our guests kept commenting on how good the donuts were. Will definitely come back again!

I recently visited the Mini Donuts Factory, and I have to say, it was an absolute treat! From the moment I walked in, the irresistible smell of freshly fried donuts filled the air, making it impossible not to be excited.

If you enjoy donuts.. then you GOT to visit this business. Some of the best tasting donuts in the area hands down.

Got a Groupon for this place and finally got to try it. Oh my gosh, the little donuts pack flavor and are so delicious hot and fresh. The staff were very very friendly and helpful!!! This is a very cute shop!! We had strawberry shortcake, cookies and cream, caramel, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, blue dream, pretzel caramel, strawberry, and glazed. They were all delightful. If you get a chance try them out! Like i said there is a great Groupon for this place so if you're iffy, just grab that and give the

I kept hearing great reviews about this place, and to be frank I was doubtful, but it may be one of the best donuts I?ve ever had in my life. Just one chocolate sprinkled donut will keep you happy the whole day.

These mini donuts were absolutely amazing. Nice fluffy and warm! I didn't even realize they were cake donuts until later because they were so light and fluffy. My favorite were the m&m ones. The m&ms were warm enough to be slightly melty inside when you took a bite. Perfection! I almost didn't want to share with my kids, lol. My mom's favorites were the cinnamon sugar one and caramel one. They even gave her a few bonus cinnamon sugar ones. As for the few that survivied to the next day, those mini donuts wer

Little gem of a donut shop. So many flavors to try and something for everyone. They make it fresh right in front of you so it make take a couple of minutes but it'll be one of the best wait in your life as the donuts simply melt in your mouth.

I wanted to try this place for so long and finally could give it a try. I loved the place cause they freshly make the donuts in front of you. The flavor options are good. They all taste great. Love that their bite sized so help with something sweet craving without feeling guilty.

Great and friendly Cafe. Donuts are very delicious and nuts free. My son is allergic and it was great not to worry about nuts. Ordered for my sons Birthday party.

Very cute charming spot. MADE TO ORDER! Though I give them an A+ , to me they weren?t ?donuts? more of a pluffy puff or beignet? But defiantly going back next week!

I ordered 24 doughnuts and I received all of them in 3 minutes. Great food and great service. The atmosphere was amazing and colorful. 5 stars, would recommend.

I stopped in as a last minute option and I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door.The donuts were reasonably priced and my team loved them. So many assortments and they were so delicious, not sure what ingredients they use but I?m unable to eat chain donuts like Crispy Cr?me or Dunkin but these mini donuts allowed me to eat them without getting sick. I will definitely purchase again.

A friend recommended this place during a morning dog walk. I've driven passed this place may be a gazillions of times and never paid attention to it. I guess happens to the best of us all the times. I took me gang (Me Familia) and we ordered what pleased our eyes. Unfortunately after trying this few times, our conclusion os that its an average taste, nothing special that wows our taste buds and makes us go back all the times.

Wow - the donuts are so fresh and delicious. There are so many flavor choices and the donuts come out hot and delightful! Great, friendly staff!

If you are looking for donuts with less calories and more taste I would suggest this store . I tried their min donuts it?s really good to taste it . Customer service is too good and very responsive . I would try again .

I love this place! Fun and festive donuts, friendly people, and a relaxed place to kick back on a Sunday afternoon

Great donut shop serving fresh hot off the stove tasty mini donuts. Excellent service and fun and colorful atmosphere!

Best mini donuts in this neighbourhood, very polite and attentive staff, owner is very good person. My kids loves this place

Friendly staff and tasty doughnuts. Freshly prepared warm doughnuts in variety for flavors.

Donuts was delicious!!! So fresh and yummy!!! Will recommend to everyone!

A must go place. Donuts are beyond tasty and service is awesome, visit them and find out by yourself.

Great place, awesome people, PHENOMENAL DOUGHNUTS, I always pick up atleast half a dozen when I'm I'm the area

The employees are so friendly that you know they're not from the US. The donuts were really good. I recommend the powdered and cinnamon sugar ones. The other fancier ones were too sweet for me.

I came here a while back and had the unfortunate experience of being laughed at by the employee who took my order. I put my review up but then it was taken down for some reason! The coffee I ordered wasn't hot nor fresh. The donuts were prepared in old grease based on what I saw. And It's also pricey. The taste of donuts were nothing special. If you want better coffee and pastries just go to Dunkin or even a gas station will suffice.

An amazing collection of mini donuts with all sorts of flavors. Helpful staff and an excellent display for children to watch the donuts made fresh right in front of you.

I love this place! The donuts are hot and fresh which I absolutely enjoy eating! The employees are also very friendly. Definitely coming back here again and again to relish this deliciousness ????

The support of Israel in the store was a breath of fresh air. The donuts were fabulous!!

Got there around 10am today and no line. Lucky for us, they manage to bake fresh donuts which was nice. But then you see the price. Goodness gracious, when you're paying over a dollar for hostess size donuts (literally bite size) it's pretty much a rip off. We only got a half dozen and paid over 9 bucks for it. That's 1.50 for a bite size donut. No wonder they don't have alot of customers. Who can afford to buy donuts at these prices? And yes I was dumb enough to not see there was a Groupon before m

Great donuts and amazing customer service! I used to love Beavers donuts (in the city) and these were EVEN BETTER! Not to mention, Mini Donut Factory is way more convenient. The donuts were so light and not greasey at all! We are definitely making this a regular stop. They are a hit with the whole family.

My picky eater toddler approves! So I'm happy.

This place is amazing mini donuts made fresh.

I love this place, my kids were astronaut by the cuteness of the donuts. Donuts are fresh and hot, they make them in front by starting mixing the flour when you come on in. The service is great, polite and very positive people!

We enjoyed your services Victor. You have great customer service.

This place is absolutely disgusting. I literally saw one of the workers pick his nose and then without a glove grab my donuts and put them in a box. Seriously what is wrong with these people?

I love this place, every time a friend of mine has a birthday I make sure to come by and pick them up a box of assorted doughnuts from here because everyone always loves them. Their concept is so fun and unique, plus they are a small local family owned business. Their customer service is always amazing and I get to watch first hand how they make my doughnuts fresh each time. Something as little as this goes a long way in keeping my support as a customer plus, FYI... their box of doughnuts is half the price

My husband surprised me with mini donuts for the first time and we were blown away with how good they were. I really like that we got to sample a hand full of different flavors and we?re not disappointed with any of them. We?ll definitely be back.

Donuts made fresh, glad I went. I will return

Amazing, fresh donuts and a fun experience for kids to pick their own toppings and watch the fun unfold!
