Customer Reviews

Great quality breads. Expert crafted donuts so good and true skill goes into every bite. Way better than Sandy's donuts. Even better then bearscat donuts in Bismarck. Unanimously by my wife my 6 kids and my friend Ken Kroplein

Love delicious, homemade, family recipe donuts? This is THE place to stop. Family owned, always! Delicious every day! Def a stop one needs to make!

What a fantastic bakery?and worth the 15-minute detour off of I-29 to visit and check it out. An associate in our Grand Forks location recommended Soholt's bakery for a staff treat, and coming back from Fargo, I took the detour and got doughnuts for the staff at Soholt's. The staff was super friendly, and I chatted with the owner. The team enjoyed the treats (as did I), and I'll certainly pass through again in the future.

It's not the same since the owners changed. The food tastes ok but not great. The bakery items also look a little sloppy. Like I said though it's ok I just miss that great taste.

Best darn little Bakery in North Dakota! Must try - old-fashion donuts and Persian rolls, but frankly everything is delicious! Service and staff friendliness is second to none!! Love the new owners Janet and Tanner

Quiet, quality bakery in downtown Mayville, ND. The staff was friendly. The selections were numerous. The prices were a bargain. It is worth a drive into town to experience this bakery!

They have the best donuts ever. The atmosphere is very nice

Really amazing experience...Donuts are fabulous! Only downfall is that they don't use card payment. Get that cash on hand if you show up. Great customer service though!

Clean store. Fast service.

I love everything about this place. Great Donuts

We visited at noon. It was ok. The pastries seemed heavy not light and airy. The coffee that should have been hot was cold

You will be hard pressed to find a better place for any baked goods. People drive a good distance for their pastries and its well worth it!
