DETROIT MINI DONUT

Stopped in for mini donuts while waiting for a show. We got a bag of chocolate sugar and a bag of cinnamon sugar donuts. Each of the kids got Italian ice and I got a peanut butter custard shake. Everything was so good! The fresh, hot donuts were so yummy, I didn't want to stop eating them! The young woman running the store was so sweet and helpful! Absolutely amazing experience!

I would totally recommend this place to everyone!! The service was amazing and the donuts were addicting. All the lemonade flavors are delicious. Even with a line, they move quickly and serve the freshest product. I love that you can see them being made - kids are totally fascinated by it too.

OMG!!!! These little donuts are absolutely delicious! They come fresh with your favorite sugar and cinnamon or powder, plus they have other toppings. They came to my job for an event and everyone loved them. I drove to downtown Detroit to get some quite a few times. They also have ice cream, shakes etc. Great location to right off of WoodWard.

I love going here on break and get Mango lemonade drank omg the best ever the young lady there is so very nice she makes my sweet drinks the way I like it.those mini Donuts is off the chain. Keep that same energy each time you come here love her customer service skills very friendly

These tiny donuts are HUGE in flavor! My husband and I were visiting from Los Angeles saw this shop while on the hunt for a bakery. We arrived right when they opened and got a bag of fresh cinnamon mini's. I'm even craving them now! Loved the location, great vibes and the baker was in great spirits, which was appreciated! Thank you for the great service and delicious donuts. Can't wait to come back!

It's been a long time that a place made me smile as much as D.M.D. it's not bougie and while the place may look simple, that's what gives it its charm. At first I was looking for the display case looking for the selection, like you would normally do. It's not that kind of place!!! They make your doughnuts to order!!!! I had so much fun just watching my doughnuts, not the doughnuts, MINE being made for ME right in front of my eyes!!! And then you choose your sugar/topping!! Then I ordered the motor city blast lemonade which is a mix of fresh fruit squeezed just for you! I just LOVE this place and definitely will be visiting more!!!!

They are in our commons today (food truck) and they are delicious. Had to take bucket away from my wife to take that picture. We (both) ate them all before the blink of 16 eyes

Fun little place to get doughnuts. They are kind of like miniature funnel cakes basically but still quite delicious. Made to order and they are fun to eat. Got mine with powdered sugar. Ordered the bucket size and there was plenty to share with my son and daughter.

Tried it first time while waiting for the lobster truck to finish our order. OMG!! Tiny little heaven!! Perfectly sized and melt in your mouth. Absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff as well.

Eating these fresh and hot little donuts is like steeping into the gates of heaven itself. Love at first bite. It might be hard to savor them as you find yourself devouring the bag quite quickly, though it's best to eat them piping hot. There's quite a few in bag and for $5 a bag it's a great value. For these reasons, this is an absolute winner.

People have argued with me that this is the best place in Detroit and I've always shot them down because it looked small and was closed every time i thought to visit the place. Well, foot-in-my-mouth moment for sure when I did catch them open and entered. Big surprises come in small packages because from the outside you can see everything that makes up this shop: the menus, the counter, a table for sitting, and the machine they create the donuts with. Now, when you enter, a huge, almost overwhelming smell of delightful sugar and warm fuzzy feeling from the heat emitting from the doughnut maker hits you and at that point....YOU HAVE TO GET SOME! Now, this is where the fun begins: A bag is a baker's dozen whereas a bucket is 3 baker's dozens and if you bring the bucket back they refill at a discount! Dough is dropped into this machine that cutely fries one side as it traverses a lazy river of oil until a mini catapult tosses it on its other side to be fried and sent down another lazy river of oil and then catapulted into a dish to dry. From there, you let the staff know if you would prefer plain or the several options of sugars. Finally, if that is not enough sweetness for you, they have dipping sauce ranging from vanilla to fruity mango! So here you are, walking out of the nostalgic feeling spot and heading downtown Detroit with a smoking hot bag of soft, possibly sugary donuts like you just made trip 2 hours to an apple orchard and all you can do is think to yourself: how did I get lucky enough to experience this to tell this tale? So now, it is my turn to express that is place is, still arguably, the best donuts in Detroit. I could give it best in downtown confidently, but all of Detroit? Time will tell ;-)

First time there and definitely won't be my last! Establishment very clean! Friendly staff member that gave great suggestions. Donuts made fresh and just melts in your mouth! Best experience ever will definitely be back!

Service is great but, the donuts are even better. Made fresh at order; topped with your choice of toppings. Also, the lemonades are the very best around.

If you're looking for something sweet at a fairly affordable price then you'd best check them out. The donuts were made fresh and it was a delight to watch while they were being prepared. The downsides are that the menu is small and the choices are minimal. Also it's pretty small so there is nowhere inside to sit and enjoy your treat should you want to.

The donuts aren't bad. I enjoyed how it's fried-up and prepared right in front of you. Wanda at the counter was welcoming and overall amazing!!

So fun! They make mini donuts right infront of your eyes! Very nice and helpful workers behind the counter.

Aren't donuts the most perfect dessert after any kind of meal? I ate next door, before coming here. I was craving something sweet and carby, like a donut. The woman working there greeted me when I came in. She explained to me the options for the bucket or the bag of mini donuts. She also gave me a little bit more detail and background around the custard shake. The custard shakes are made with her wonderful high quality custard yogurt. Their small machine puts out 1,200 Mini donuts an hour. They're bigger machine puts a 2,400. It's fairly quick. She made them fresh for my bucket. The bucket is $15 for the mini donuts. I also ordered a custard shake. I had her mix the peanut butter and chocolate, because, why not. I tried the mini donuts hot off the conveyor. They were slightly crunchy, melt in your mouth and the most perfect size bite you could ever ask for. I had her put the cinnamon sugar and she blended it over the donuts nicely. Just The hint of cinnamon and sugar is so delicious on these buttery mini size donuts. They're a little piece of heaven in your mouth. The custard shake is of course creamy and delicious. It's nice that the prominent taste is the peanut butter, with a little added enhancement from the chocolate. She took the chocolate and swirled around the outside edge of the glass. They have a food truck, but they moved into this brick and mortar in the summertime.

Such a cute little spot. Definitely bare bones, but they are doing what they can and I appreciate it. After hearing about them,I found a Groupon for them and gave it try one day when we were able to make it during normal COVID hours. FYI they are open 12-5. Went it and mentioned I had a Groupon for 2 bags, the maker asked what flavors as he started the machine. The machine pumped out little donuts and he spun them around in the oil with a chopstick, after a short ride down, a little lever flipped them and then they dropped into a waiting bin. The maker gathered them up, placed in a bag and sprinkles our flavor choices on. My husband had Cinnamon Sugar and I chose Pumpkin Spice. Hot, soft, sweet and delicious. We'll be back one day.

After eating at Jose's next door we went into the Detroit Mini Donut store. When you walk in the smell of warm donuts immediately fills you nose. I bought a $5 bag and it had a good amount of small warm donuts. They have several choices for sugar coatings and other options. They also make some nice specialty drinks. Will go back for sure!

Only been here once. But.. Excellent freshly homemade (made in front of you in fact) donuts. Loved them. Friendly service too. Recommended.

My daughter was all dressed up and ready to go for donuts! Online it said they were open but when I got there, paid $20 for parking and went to the door it was closed! Smh UPDATE YOUR SCHEDULE/HOURS!! No one wants to waste their money paying for parking!!

Donuts melt in your mouth sooo good. We definitely recommend 10 out of 10! Hands down

These mini donuts are made FRESH and the LEMONADE is FRESH SQUEEZED! GREAT prices! The drink was huge. I got a Mango lemonade and my sister had a lavender lemonade. They were both so delicious on a warm day. The donuts weren't warm by the time we got home and they still melted in our mouths. We will def be back to try more.

The smell of this confectionary delight wafts in the air as you approach from Broadway. I first became familiar with DMD as a vendor at my place of employment. I was very happy to discover their storefront to enjoy them outside of work. The owners are very warm and welcoming.

Ambivalent review because I can't say how the donuts were. Showed up at 5pm and the sign on the door said "open until 6pm". Noncommittal employee was texting outside the door and stated that she "needed to go" and "we're closed" with no explanation or invitation to come back. Hope to revise this review in the future when we can actually try it.

The lady was so sweet and it was very fast service the food was good and the ambiance was simple like a mini cafe .

Detroit Mini Donut was catering for another company in our building, but we were able to purchase from them. The staff were very friendly and made our order quickly. They had 3 different kinds of mini donuts: plain, cinnamon sugar, and powdered sugar. A bag was $5, and it is full of mini donuts (there were a ton in there). I chose cinnamon sugar. The donuts were delicious; hot, crispy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. Like a better (didn't know that was possible) miniature version of a fresh cider mill donut. I would definitely purchase from Detroit Mini Donut again, and would recommend hiring them to cater for a work event because its a simple but fun idea.

Good little popable donut bites. I'd definitely go back for more but I'll get milk next time . They'd be good with some apple Cidar as well

We stopped into Detroit Mini Donut on our wedding day, while we were out taking pictures around town. We had the cinnamon-sugar donuts and they were so fresh and delicious, and the customer service was excellent!

The donuts we got here were great!! They are made to order, but still were ready quickly. Tasted amazing and were inexpensive.

These donuts are too die for. Every bite was super tasty. I also got the lavender lemonade which was freshly squeezed right there on the spot. I loved that it was not SUPER sweet. I'll definitely be back soon.

Fresh, fast and delicious. I have had these from their food truck before. It's so nice to know they have a brick and mortar location so that we can access these delights at any time.

On a 5 degree day walking around Partridge Creek mall with my daughter (even subzero windchills don't keep us from shopping!)...we were freezing and honestly, it was pretty miserable out. The mall was having a special "Frost Fest" event. In the distance we saw a blowup slide and we had heard there was a temporary ice rink, so we shivered our way over there quickly, to discover a food truck with....hot donuts! Did we decide to get some? Well, is the pope Catholic?? Hot, fresh mini donuts in a bag covered in cinammon and sugar...just one word: yum! They were really tasty, and just perfect to help warm us up a bit. Service was friendly and I'm glad we wandered over there.

At a wedding registry event, They were handing out little bags and samples of freshly made mini donuts - very yummy and perfectly portioned! Powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, chocolate or cream frosted or sprinkles - seems like they have lots of options to personalize for your event or just for own consumption! When I asked about private events, they said all they need is a dedicated plug - they take care of the rest! Definitely cute and yummy enough that I'm considering them for my own wedding next fall....we shall see!

Always fresh! You cant go wrong when they make the fresh goods right before your eyes. 3-4 flavors to choose from which 1-2 may vary during what the season may be. Always friendly service and I love supporting small businesses so please do as well. Lemonade is good and I'm not even big on it. Never tried the hot pot if coffee that's always available but will soon try. Right after I try the hot chocolate. Will keep you updated.

New location on Grand River is very nice. The donuts are great like always, but they also have Italian ice and ice cream options. Having an every day donut shop like this close by is awesome, especially with the refillable bucket.

So much love for this place! First, the donuts are made fresh right in front of you on a little mini conveyer belt. Then the toppings are applied. Would be great to see some fresh lemon or Girl Scout cookie flavors. Service was outstanding too. Can't wait to go back.

We have been eating Detroit mini donuts for many years. Today we went and visited their new brick-and-mortar location and the donuts and peanut butter shake were awesome. A must that for anyone in Detroit. These mini donuts are made right in front of you and taste incredible.

Love this place!! Very reasonably priced and they make the donuts right in front of you so they're fresh! I would 100% visit this place again

The kids and I stopped at a Detroit Mini Doughnut good truck during a vendor show. While the doughnuts were tasty, they were a little overpriced. For 12 min doughnuts we paid $5. The minis equal maybe 2 regular size doughnuts, maybe. I wouldn't waste my money again. Great taste, awful value.

The best melt in the mouth donuts I've ever had. Now I see why lines are long. Also, great friendly customer service too. Will definitely go back again and again!

Karen and Detroit Mini Donuts are awesome. They run a professional business and are great to work with. Their strawberry lemonade is amazing and they have a great deal on refills!!! So good on a hot summer day. Looking forward to having them at another event soon.

Delicious and super fun to watch the donuts being made right in front of you! Definitely recommend!

Detroit Mini Donut was the hit of my wedding! All of the guests loved the hot, fresh donuts made right before their eyes! Detroit Mini Donut was the talk of the evening. I would highly recommend them for any event!

Mini cinnamon donuts are the best - have to scarf them down right away while they are still hot and then wash/vacuum all the cinnamon sugar off your hands/face/body. Worth it.

One of the best donuts that I have had! They are nice and warm and just melt in your mouth! I will defiantly recommend them!

Yummy mini donuts and lemonade ! Tried them during the Maker Faire at the Henry Ford Museum.

Detroit Mini Donut traveled to the Thumb to serve donuts at my wedding, and they were amazing! As the bride, I had little time to give guidance the day of, but the ladies did an awesome job asking the right questions beforehand and making sure everything was perfect for the day of! The donuts were amazing, and my guests complimented them for weeks after my wedding! Super fun, organized, easy to work with, and delicious!
