Reviews Summary

Customers overwhelmingly praise Van Dough for its fresh, warm mini donuts with creative flavors and beautiful decorations.

Customer Reviews

A hidden gem that you won't find unless someone tells you or you are searching for donuts. These mini donuts will smack ??. Of the six ordered boston cream and s'more are a favorite so far. Each unique flavor you order will bring a taste like no other. Friendly staff, clean place and a window to watch the action of them creating the donut to making the donut finish. Ordered an ice coffee and that too is very good.

We decided to try after receiving a gift card from my child's school fundraiser two months ago. We went in and it smelled amazing, a good variety of donut options and different drinks. Everything was fine until we went to pay. I tried to use the gift card, and they informed me they did not sell them. Asked me if I was sure it was for there despite it clearly saying Van Dough on it. When I tried to ask them if there was any way to deal with it, they brushed it off rudely and gave no compensation for the gift

The Ambiance: Van Dough doughnut shop offers a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for grabbing a quick sweet treat. The Staff: The family-run nature of the shop is very nice. The staff are incredibly friendly. The Food: The doughnuts are simply outstanding! They cook them fresh with your order and they come out nice and warm! Each bite sized bite is a delightful experience. Accessibility: Conveniently located with easy access. Overall: An exceptional doughnut shop that combines wonderful ambiance, fri

Amazing little donut shop in Clearwater right off McMullen Booth! They have a huge selection of mini donuts, as well as cold and hot coffee! Our favorites were the Samoa, Boston Creme, Churro, NY Cheesecake, and the Homer. They also have a donut robot that you can watch, perfect for entertaining kids while you wait!

Y?all knocked it out of the park with this place! Delicious freshly made donuts, still warm When you receive them! Staff was amazing and even offered a sample while waiting. So glad we found this gem?? ! Definitely stop in and try the donuts you won?t regret it!

What fabulous donuts! We purchased from Van Dough for the Alonso High School Cheer team, and everyone devoured them! They are so much fun and make a killer display for any table! Our AHS Girls Flag Football Team has some events coming up and will enjoy these as well. Service was also wonderful w very communicative staff. 5 Stars!

WOW! That?s all I can say right now. I just got home about 10 minutes ago and cracked open to box, and I am speechless! these are the best donuts i?ve had in years!! They are all made fresh to order and they were still warm when I got home. They taste like cake but better! All of the flavors were so well done and presentation was absolutely beautiful! I cannot wait to come back. I can?t believe it took me this long to find you! Couldn?t be any better, thank you!

First time trying out VanDough mini donuts and wow ?? so good!! I bought a 25 pack of all the flavors and a 16 pack of assorted. So delicious and I loved the apple filled ones, and the white frosted with sprinkles! The staff was friendly and place was clean.

Visited this cute lil donut shop this morning and we loved it! The prices are great, even in this economy. I also didn?t expect the donuts to be warm and made-to-order. What a nice surprise! I?ll be thinking of this place for quite sometime. To add, since these are made-to-order, don?t expect to be in and out. We waited maybe 15 minutes for our 9 donuts. Which was fine considering they were fulfilling the orders ahead of ours.

This was one of the absolute most pleasant experiences I've ever had ordering food. I ordered two boxes of their donuts for a special occasion, but wasn't sure when I'd be able to pick up and they were SO accommodating. The customer service, quality of food, presentation, and overall experience was 10 out of 10! I WILL be ordering again. Great experience!

Absolutely great find!! These delicious mini donuts are amazing! There are so many different options to try!! Reese Peanut Butter Cup, Churro, Strawberry with Sprinkles, Cotton Candy with Pop Rocks!!! They give you a donut to enjoy while you wait for your specially ordered donuts! Totally asked Google where the best place to get donuts in Clearwater was, and Van Dough Mini Donuts was rated at 4.8 stars, so this is where we ended up! Fantastic suggestion and awesome staff! They were friendly, welcoming, an

Fresh delicious mini donuts. I love the variety of flavors and they make it in front of you! ??????

Woke up and was in the mood for donuts. Quick search and found this amazing place. The donuts shop was clean. The staff were friendly and answered any questions I had. The unique thing about Van Dough donuts is that the only size they come is mini. I would highly recommend trying the s'mores, boston cream, the dark side, bacon me crazy, sweet piggy, and iced iced baby. I also tried the iced cold brew coffee. It was delicious! Will be coming back soon! *Don't Forget " Vincent" Van Gough the squirrel who

1st timer. Quality vs Quantity vs Price = Value. For the Quality, these donuts taste great!, and they are made fresh! For the Quantity, as a portion, 3 mini donuts is smaller than a average size donut. the Price way too expensive, it's like $4+ for a donut. The place is clean and staffed well, friendly service. Im sure guests enjoy them. They have been around. They do close early. But for the Value I'd opt for something else.

Ordered 6 dozen donuts for a baby shower, never having been here before. Submitted a request online, and they got back to me same-day. Accommodated my special requests & I was able to pay online prior to pick up day. While I was waiting for my order, an employee offered me a hot doughnut sample. These donuts are SO GOOD! Light, fluffy with no greasiness. Everyone loved them & I was happy to tell them Van Dough is the spot to get ?em. They serve ice cream too, which I?ll be going back to try soon!

We recently used Van Dough for our wedding and they were amazing. We went in about a week ahead of time to place our order and they were extremely helpful. We wanted three varieties of donuts that are on the regular menu but did have the option for custom. Everyone loved them. We had leftovers for the next day and they were still delicious! We highly recommend these donuts and the cold brew is really good too!

Ok?I?m back. I had to shout out the BEST DONUT FLAVOR EVER!!!!! Ready?? It?s?..SWEET PiGGY. Not only is every donut made after you order, but then this one is iced with maple frosting, then dipped in crumbled bacon. They are mini donuts, how awesome to not feel guilty!! And sooo fresh, too! I also got the Boston Creme ones again. You have to go there!! Lovely people, a sample as you wait for your donuts, and one more word-YUM! Do it!

I have been dying to bring my son here to try this place. Today, a lady at work had some delivered as a retirement gift. I knew exactly where they came from since I?ve recently been scoping out the website. Let me tell you?. Absolutely adorable! Perfect as the pictures online! Perfectly sized. Delicious, light, fluffy? I am now thinking about having mini donuts for my sons birthday! Cake is over rated!

Such a cute place! Super sweet and nice employees! While we were waiting for our coffees and donuts - they offered us 2 free donuts to try of a different flavor as well! Not to mention watching how delicate they were being with each donuts while decorating- was super cool to see. Taking their time to make sure each one looked as awesome as the pictures. Love this place and most definitely will be back!

We catered our daughter?s 2nd birthday from Van Dough .. and if you were thinking about it, DO IT!! Absolutely phenomenal service from the owner perfecting our theme to match with CUSTOM MINI DONUTS all the way to the table to deliciously eat. They were the hit of the party perfect to grab and go for a party full of kids!! Thank you guys for such an amazing experience!

First time and NOT a disappointment. They were still warm! My whole family loved it! Van Dough definitely has a repeat customer !!

Such nice and helpful staff and the donuts were so much better than we expected! Delicious! Rave reviews got the Samoa, birthday cake and strawberry cheesecake- wow! So yummy

Today was extra sweet!!! Van dough found out the donuts were for the boys and girls club and threw in extra donuts. My kids loved it and said thank you. Always delicious and excellent customer service 5??

My husband and I went in the amazingly decorated shop during their grand opening. They were busy but we got our little six pack which was very reasonable priced. All we needed is just one taste of these delicious morsels of goodness & we went back for more! We've been back several times, we've tried just about everything in the shop. My son gets the mini mash, I've tried the doughnut shake (OMG you gotta try the Cappuccino Crunch). My granddaughter gets a scoop of ice cream & the workers are always amazing

The best donuts in town and the friendliest owners. Will definitely be returning here!! Such a sweet experience :)

It is neat to try once but I like donuts bigger and loaded. These are quite small. They heat up the same mini cake base donut and then decorate them on the spot just for you. The Boston Creme is just a tiny dot of pudding and I cried inside while eating it ??. They are very pretty though. Would be good for kids parties.

So cute! A huge array of mini doughnuts, each one AMAZING! I recommend the churro, boston cream, samoa, and homer but I wasn?t able to try them all. Small place with lots of seating and friendly staff, I will definitely be going back.

Really great doughnuts. Freshly made when you order, many options and great coffee. Love that they were still warm when eating. The employees working are extremely friendly and space is clean.

Friendly? Check. Good tasting? Check. Relatively fast? Check. My first visit to Van Dough won't be my last. While workers prepared my 16 mini donuts, they gave me one to eat. Nice. My family enjoyed these sweet treats at home. I think this place has the right combination of taste and ambiance. I dare anyone to eat just one.

Van Dough hit my baby shower theme donuts, butterfly's & wheels, out of the park! I was not very helpful in direction lol I said I fully trust you and do not regret it a bit. I would say some of the decor pieces were not the best tasting or easy to bite, however the actual donut was DELICIOUS and the decor definitely gave all my guests something to talk about and take pics of. I will be using them again.

Soft and fresh. They were all delicious. We were visiting from Orlando and our friends recommended them. Had a Caramel Iced Latte and it was also delicious. Will be sure to stop here when in town.

We loved discovering this cute place! Mini donuts are the perfect bite size - no mess. The best donuts here in the Bay so far, tasty & freshly made to order. Staff was very kind and let us have a sample, too! ????

Wanted easy breakfast for the family. We decided to give it a try. This place delivered. Food was delicious & the staff was very nice.

Awesome place to pick up special treats for my clients, they ALWAYS make a great impression. I phone the order in ahead of time and they have the delicious little treats packed up and ready to go. Each flavor is AMAZING, but the maple bacon (Sweet Piggy) and the Bedrock are favorites!

We went for this first time this morning with mom dad 5 kids and grandma. We ordered the 25. Let me tell you for those people to put up with us thats a 5 star review in itself and then to get them all right when we all ordered 3 each lol! So cute and soooo yummy. The strawberry cheesecake, apple pie, cinnomon sugar, fruit pebbles, maple bacon so on. We will be back very soon I also got a carmel Machiato which was bomb aff

These donuts made my daughters birthday a huge hit everyone loved them Fresh delicious and good priced

I bought donuts for my friends on Father?s Day. Everything was amazing! The donuts were perfect in taste and appearance. The customer service was impeccable and prices are very reasonable! I will absolutely be returning to buy more for my coworkers and friends

I came here for the first time and had an amazing experience! The donuts were so good (and adorable)! I got a six pack and a coffee, it was very reasonably priced, and all the donuts were freshly made so they were warm and gooey. My fave was the rice crispy one. Then the manager apologized and gave me a gift card for next time because I waited a bit. Totally worth the wait and I highly recommend!

Purchased 48 mini donuts for my daughters ?dessert? themed birthday party and they were AMAZING! Everyone loved the different flavors and how cute they were. Not to mention they were made 10 minutes before we picked up! They tasted insanely good!! We will be back for sure! 10/10 recommend Van Dough! (Sorry for the bad picture!)

Awesome! Donuts were fresh and made right in front of me, I love the mini concept because you can try more flavors or just have more of your favorite and there?s no compromise on taste. Best donut shop around!

Love this local Donut shop! Fresh and many flavors to choose from. We've been in the store a few times and have always left satisfied. Consider passing by the bigger corporate stores and pick up a pack of donuts here. The presentation is outstanding. We took a pack over to a friends and they were a hit!

Hidden gem ?? Delicious donuts we got pb&j, maple bacon, fruity pebbles, mint chip, NY cheesecake, birthday cake. Delish!

First time customer here , and I couldn?t be more happy with my order !!! They are the nicest people , delicious and beautiful donuts !! I?ll be back , thank you !!!

The staff were very nice and helpful. The donuts were amazing and fresh. They tasted so good. It?s worth going

We ate some freshly made mini donuts and they were soooo delicious... melted in our mouths. They were so good that we ordered a box of 36 to go. Highly recommend Van Dough! The workers are friendly and meticulously design each mini donut.

So good! The donuts were fresh, warm and tasty. The staff was helpful and friendly. Don't miss it and go when you're hungry!

First time here, we decided on a 6 count. The doughnuts were freshly made and so good!

Came today for a special snack on my 5 year old's birthday. The Van Dough crew could not have been friendlier! From a special peek at how the donuts are made to playing a happy birthday song in her honor, my daughter's day was sweet as sugar. Thank you for sprinkling kindness for our little one's special day!

Our absolute favorite donuts ?? and the cold brew is THE BEST! We drive 40 minutes just for the amazing donuts and cold brew.

Wow! Delicious treats. Friendly staff and the health inspector was there and told them good job on the way out. Love it. I will be back soon. Worth the calories.

They?re hot and fresh mini donuts. The owner?s super cool and friendly. The name is a delightful pun. Do you really need any more convincing? Just do it.

All I did was tell them the theme- they took care of the rest. We had cake, cupcakes, and doughnuts- these were the hit of the party. Perfection. Thanks!

Didn?t get anything this day only because I was looking for a specific flavor Cute cute setting Staff was friendly and greeted you upon entering Would recommend

So great! Fresh donuts! It?s so hard to decide which flavor to get, so we got a box of 9 different flavors and all were delicious! They were all gone before I could even post this review!

WOW! Yum, yum and yummy. Ordered a large custom order for my business and was astonished at these amazing donuts! Not only did they create a theme for our business but they came up with multiple designs (one of which was really humorous and a staff fav lol). Each flavor we received was remarkable in and of itself and we will def be back!

The sport ball donuts were a huge hit for our grandson?s birthday! They were delicious as well as cute. Children and parents both enjoyed them, thank you.

Three young people working there at 830 AM on Sunday. Very good customer service, very welcoming. When I held the warm box in my hand, I realized I was getting warm, fresh donuts. OMG these donuts were incredible. I?m never eating another donut anywhere else and I may go back again today!

How cute are these for a 2 yr old pool party!! Everyone there is so artistic!! Donuts always fresh & delicious. Excellent customer service!! Thank you!!

Love Love Love..you order by the pack. 3 is the smallest size you can get. I got the glaze and 2 others that can no toppings. I don't like it too sweet so this was perfect. They even give you a free doughnut which was so nice an unexpected. Also there cold brew coffee...was omg ..wow. will definitely be back here. the doughnut was warm and crispy..enjoyed it so much

Amazing and fun. My family likes these as by definition they?re the freshest donuts ever (they make them to order). They have probably 30 different customizations you can order, but realistically the plain chocolate remains the best. Great local business worth supporting and better and more interesting than Dunkin?. Really fun and the business owner is always there. Give them a try.

Excellent and speedy service with a delicious variety of donuts and drinks. Definitely worth a visit!

Great for a sweet snack while still trying to stick to a diet

I pretty much echo all the banging reviews this shop has. The donuts are freshly made, melt in your mouth, and are just plain delicious. Customer service is spot on, always feel welcomed there, even with loud boys running around, and they occasionally give out free handouts. Can't beat it.

Best doughnuts in Pinellas County, or anywhere! The fact that they are mini doughnuts and have so many awesome designs and flavors is just the cherry, err, sprinkles, on top. The team is so friendly and handles the rush and massive takeout orders with composure. Our kids ask for these doughnuts over cake and cupcakes for their birthday parties! Keep up the awesome job Van Dough Team!

I picked up two of their large boxes for the office and then spent the day talking about where I got them from. So be warned, if you share these doughnuts bring some business cards because everyone is going to be raving about them. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a sweet breakfast treat.

Fresh made PER ORDER. BEST donuts I've ever had. We bought a 25 pack for 7 people and everybody was amazed at how good these mini donuts are. Don't let the size fool you, they are extremely filling. The snickers bar was my favorite. Great customer service, too@

Delicious treats! They give fresh glazed donuts while you wait.

Delicious treat. Staff was super friendly. Only waited a few minutes for our donuts to be made.

Highly recommend Van Dough!!! We had a last minute custom order and not only were they so accommodating; they replicated exactly what we had in mind! And they were delicious! Thank you so much Van Dough!

Love this place! The donuts are so yummy and addicting! The hours are a little weird so you can?t get an after work/school treat but we just get a box on the weekends

Wonderful and creative selection. Sweet and friendly staff. I think we have found a new favorite spot!

Absolutely amazing service! Donuts were so tasty and cute! Thanks for your service.

Great spot for a sweet tooth! Doughnuts are fresh and yummy. Restaurant is clean and the staff was awesome!

Clean, polite, and delicious. Staff was very professional and kind, and even gave us some free hot donuts while we waited. They take extra care with each of the donuts, and they are very high quality and very good. Highly recommend.

These doughnuts were absolutely amazing! Served warm and fresh. Would definitely recommend!

These mini donuts are very cute and delicious! Staff is very nice and friendly, they even gave me a donut while I waited for my order, even though I have not placed my order beforehand. Definitely recommend this place.

We are from Colorado. When we travel we love trying new donut places. This one is by far the best!!! Affordable and delicious ?? ??

They provide an impressive small taste selection I preorder.

Service here is OUTSTANDING! I needed a same day custom order for a baby shower & they were very understanding of my procrastination & were eager to help! Ordering was quick & smooth with added suggestions of their own, ofcourse the delicate donuts came out AMAZING & always an eye catcher at any party. Highly recommend

What a great place! The donuts were fantastic and perfect bite size for my children who typically never finish a full donut! Owner was very friendly and personable! As a great addition they also sell Hershey Ice Cream! Being from up north I grew up on Hershey and it was so delicious! Will definitely be back for both!!

I had my grand babies birthday party which was themed mermaids and sharks they did a great job with the donuts and where a hit not 1 donut left thank you will be returning again donuts where great!

Needed a donut fix and after a quick ?donut? search in google maps, we ended up here and wow, we are so glad we did! The staff were so friendly and the donuts were delicious. Great selection! We?ll be back.

The doughnuts are great . My favorite is the rice crisps and the peanut butter jelly.

Van Dough donuts are so delicious because they are served fresh and still warm! Trust me, they are worth the few minutes that you have to wait for them. They are decorated beautifully like a "work of art." While we waited for our order, the staff gave us 2 minis to sample which was very kind of them. We will be back.

What an absolute delight! We were looking for a good local coffee place and this popped up on the suggestions. The name caught my attention and then I saw that it had so many great reviews that we had to give it a try. The staff was super helpful and walked us through the menu options. It seems that the donuts are all the same base cake donut (which is amazing on its own!) and topped with whichever option you choose when you order them. The apple pie was my favorite and I want one of those every day of my

Van Dough Mini Donuts & Coffee are incredible. The owner John is terrific. My job told us less than a week ago we were doing a Christmas party today, so here I am trying to figure out what to bring because I have no time to make anything since I work for the post office and right now we are extremely busy. I called Van Dough Donuts and they took care of me right down to delivering them to my work place while I was out delivering myself. The Donuts are incredible and everyone said so. We have about 45+

This place is Amazing! I took my girls there today for the 1st time and the donuts were SO good! The selection of donuts were all delicious sounding and the ones we ordered were so fresh and tasty and picture perfect! It was spotless inside and the men working were pleasant to talk to! The coffee of course was just as good as the donuts too! It?s very close! We?ll be stopping in regularly!

Just had my very first order of the mini doughnuts (got it delivered) and each one was absolutely amazing. I got 3 maple bacon (the bf basically ????), 3 cotton candy (im personally obsessed with just one bite) and then 3 of the Reese's cups (those are ?????? fricken fabulous). Pricing is amazing as well and I will definitely be getting more of the other kinds soon ??
