"Thirsty Whale was on the brink of closure in late 2023 when Alise and Luke McGregor, owners of Minnetonka’s YoYo Donuts, announced they’d purchased the bakery. Thirsty Whale co-founder Kyle Baker is still churning out the pastries, cakes, and cupcakes the bakery is known for — doughnuts, especially, are a hit here, from the classic (vanilla sprinkle, glazed raised) to the unexpected (think Fruity Pebble cake doughnuts and bismarks stuffed with mango and pineapple.)" - Stacy Brooks
