Hey Twin Cities!
Get ready, Twin Cities! Friday, June 7th is National Donut Day, and we’ve rounded up the best places to grab a sweet treat around Minneapolis and St. Paul. Whether you’re team raised-and-glazed or prefer a dense cake donut with creative toppings, the Twin Cities has something delicious for every kind of donut lover.
🍩 Glam Doll Donuts – St. Paul & Minneapolis
Locations:
- 625 7th St W, St. Paul, MN
- 2605 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, MN
Known for their bold flavors, funky decor, and donut creations that double as works of art, Glam Doll Donuts is a must-visit. With inventive names like “Showgirl,” “Night Moves,” and “Calendar Girl,” these aren’t your average donuts. Plus, they have vegan options that are just as mouthwatering as the classics!
🔥 Pro Tip: Head there early — they do sell out on special days like this!
🍩 Bogart’s Doughnut Co. – Minneapolis
Location: 904 W 36th St, Minneapolis, MN
A fan favorite in the Linden Hills neighborhood, Bogart’s is known for their super soft brioche dough, rich vanilla bean glaze, and brown butter beauty. Their simple, clean flavor profiles are perfect if you love a classic donut done to perfection.
🍩 A Baker’s Wife – Minneapolis
Location: 4200 28th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN
An old-school neighborhood gem, A Baker’s Wife is beloved for their unbelievably affordable donuts. The glazed and chocolate cake donuts are local legends. No frills, no fuss, just the kind of donuts your grandma would approve of (and probably crave).
🍩 Mojo Monkey Donuts – St. Paul
Location: 1169 7th St W, St. Paul, MN
For a gourmet twist on classic styles, Mojo Monkey delivers bold flavor combinations like banana cream pie, lemon lavender, and maple bacon. Their artisan approach and charming West 7th shop make it a perfect stop on your donut crawl.
🍩 Cardigan Donuts – Minneapolis
Location: 40 S 7th St #207, Minneapolis, MN (Skyway)
A sleek donut shop nestled in the Minneapolis Skyway, Cardigan Donuts is ideal for grabbing a mid-morning pick-me-up if you’re downtown. Fluffy yeast-raised donuts, fancy toppings, and even donut holes you can pop like popcorn. Great coffee too!
🍩 Puffy Cream Donuts Plus – Eagan (a bit outside the core, but worth the drive!)
Location: 3390 Coachman Rd, Eagan, MN
If you don’t mind a short drive, Puffy Cream is legendary in the south metro for their fluffy glazed donuts, classic twists, and apple fritters that could feed a small army. This place opens early and sells out fast!
💡 Make a Donut Day Adventure Out of It!
Why stop at just one? Grab a friend or bring the family and make a Donut Day Crawl across the Twin Cities! Pick a few of these shops, sample their best, and vote on your favorite. Whether you’re team maple bacon, chocolate frosted, or just love a good old-fashioned cake donut, you’ll have a sweet time.
