Mini Donut Factory Review - Lakeview - Chicago - The Infatuation

"At Mini Donut Factory, it's possible to try six different donuts, without suffering from the side effects of eating six donuts in a short period of time. And that's because every donut at this Lakeview spot is tiny. They come in orders of six, which essentially adds up to one regular-sized donut. Each one is soft and tastes like funnel cake, and all of the toppings are added when you order. The raspberry has just enough tartness and the cookies and cream taste like a fried Oreo." - John Ringor

This cute little place is a gem with friendly staff I have ever met! My daughter took sometime to pick flavors and she wasn’t rushed at all! Donuts were made right in front of us with LOVE! The owner gave special treatment and offered to have extra donut as treat. DO VISIT THIS GEM WHEN YOU NEED DONUTS. YUMMY

Got 48 donuts for a party with a Groupon deal & the staff were very friendly and quick with our order (made & packed within 10 minutes). Our guests kept commenting on how good the donuts were. Will definitely come back again!

Got a Groupon for this place and finally got to try it. Oh my gosh, the little donuts pack flavor and are so delicious hot and fresh. The staff were very very friendly and helpful!!! This is a very cute shop!! We had strawberry shortcake, cookies and cream, caramel, powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, blue dream, pretzel caramel, strawberry, and glazed. They were all delightful. If you get a chance try them out! Like i said there is a great Groupon for this place so if you're iffy, just grab that and give them a try!!!

Very cute spot. Mini donuts are so good made fresh and you choose from a variety of flavors of decoration. Great concept but it does take awhile to get your order. I feel like it could use a pre order kiosk or a more efficient assembly line. We were the only ones there but I couldn't imagine what its like when they get busy But they are delicious so check it out if your in the area.

Great new local spot. Mini cake donuts where you can customize the donuts however you'd like with different frosting and toppings. They come out nice and fresh. Kids will love this place as you watch as they decorate and assemble the donuts. Donuts are a little on the pricier side but most food nowadays is. Not high end specialty donuts like Donut Vault or Do-rites downtown, but a good donut.

I left another local spot craving something sweet and found this place nearby. Its a fun little place preparing fresh mini donuts to order. With so many kinds I won't list everything I had, but everything we tried was great! You really can't beat a little two bite donut freshly made. My favorites, if I had to choose, would be the salted caramel and the strawberry shortcake. I saved a few for later and they're still fresh tasting, even the next morning. The place was clean and the workers were friendly. My donuts were ready in no time at all. If your nearby I'd definitely grab a box to snack on, you won't be disappointed.

Cute little donuts made fresh-to-order with choice of 20 toppings? Each donut was hot, fresh and a few bites. Fun for kids, or parties. My companions picked the brightest, most colorful donuts (fruity pebbles and strawberry) and I went for the toasted coconut with a blazing hot black coffee. It was a little sweet for me, so I only ate one. Super nice people here. They gave me a bag of about a half dozen donuts free. These would be great to bring to the office.

Who doesn't love freshly made donuts that are bite size and delicious?! You don't even feel bad eating them since they are so small!! The establishment is clean and pleasant to visit. Love showing up to friends houses with a box of donuts!

I love these small tasty donuts. They are the perfect size for a small treat when you are trying not to overeat. Each donut has their own unique flavor like Oreo, fruity pebbles & M&M's. They sell the donuts by the bundle & I've seen deals on Groupons as well. Service was great. They helped explain things for a newbie like me & had me on my way in minutes! Wonderful treat for a bday, small occasion or just because....

Such a cute little donut spot! The kids loved watching the donuts being made and decorated. There were only two workers and with everything being decorated and made fresh it can take time, but everyone was very nice. I will definitely be back again soon!

These politics out these dangerous times in the world. We need unity not division in this day and age. People should enjoy donuts and coffee in a non political environment. I suggest that the owner of this establishment should tell the person who put up several Israeli flags to remove them. The donuts were excellent and the customer service was great. I do not feel comfortable going back to this establishment who obviously promotes and supports a political agenda. Let's stick with good food and great customer service this is a winning mix.

My kids love this place and so do I. I love how the donuts are fresh and hot when you get them. They are made fresh right in from of you. Something soooooo amazing crushing a warm donut with frosting dripping off it in your car because you just can't wait till you get home, that's these donuts! I got a 2 dozen box and my children were so in love with how mini they were and we all agreed the taste was delicious! Very friendly staff! Highly recommend for a treat! I

A fun little treat. Though it costs about as much for a mini doughnut as it does for a full size doughnut elsewhere -- it's nice to get some freshly fried and hot if that's what you're looking for. The shop itself is small and cozy, with friendly service. The donuts themselves are hot and chewy. They are the same base regardless of the topping, but fortunately the base is good. The flavor of the toppings is similar to what you'd find at a generic donut shop. They aren't very interesting, probably because of the limitations of what you can prepare for fresh fried mini donuts. But, are practical for the product that is being prepared. Overall, this product is cute though a bit pricey. The colorful decorations and syrupy, candy-like flavors will appeal more to a younger crowd.

This place is incredible. They don't make it until you order it. There's no donuts sitting in a case. They literally dip the donuts as you order what you want so they come out hot and fresh each time.

I am not fan of donut in general as it's too sweet for my palate but wanted to give it a shot as I've heard good reviews about it. Store's gotta a cool vibe and the service was good, there isn't anything one else when I stopped by, It was pretty much empty. I tried few of their flavors and wasn't disappointed. I didn't like the chocolate M&M but caramel waffles and toasted coconut were good.

Yesterday was our first visit. Staff was extremely friendly and explained the menu and ordering process. The donuts were warm and fresh, as advertised, and DELICIOUS. They even threw in a couple cinnamon donuts as freebies. We certainly will be back!

My daughter's favorite thing in the world are donuts. I found this place a couple years back and have been going ever since. She loves how they make the mini donuts right in front of her. Donuts are fresh and you can pick which toppings you would like on them. It's usually a couple of guys working and they're always very nice and friendly. The location has a couple of small tables inside to sit and enjoy if not most people just take them to go. Such a cute fun thing to do with your kiddos when you're craving a sweet treat.

A cool place to check out. Freshly made donuts custom decorated. Very good. The service was good just like the donuts.

Are the donuts cute? Yes but they are slightly larger than a quarter and $1.50 each. Tasty but not amazing and grossly over priced.

It's so nice to get hot donuts. But they are so small that they cool off too fast. The size is great for sampling but the toppings are just ok. Nothing too impressive. Fruity pebbles is a good one. They just put some cereal on a frosted donut. Should cost half the price. They are cute but mildly uninspired. Mostly bland food colored icing- nothing remarkable. Overpriced as far as donuts go. These are just glorified munchkins. The espresso is way too expensive, too. This would be a great late night snack at a wedding...

Okay, I'm going to be honest in saying that I had sticker shock when I saw the size of these mini donuts and the minimum $7 for 6 price tag that came with them. But after trying them, I totally get it. It's not the "mini" that makes these a hit but the MADE-TO-ORDER, hot-out-the-fryer aspect that make these a hit. After your order is put in, you see the machine pumping out the exact number you ordered. Then each donut is individually glazed/sprinkled/etc. And then they're in your hands, still hot with the glaze still dripping. It's like the rare chances when Krispy Kreme let's you buy a donut straight off their conveyor belt but you get that every time at Mini Donut Factory and with more variety. We enjoyed the glazed, cinnamon, and iced varieties. The cereal options intrigued us but ended up adding too much crunchiness from the dry cereal but the donut itself was consistently soft and delicious regardless of topping. After it cools down, the donut still holds its chewiness but at that point, it's hard to justify the $1+ per mini donut. For that reason, it feels more like a 3.5/5 occasional treat. Add in great service and staff and that's how Mini Donut Factory is a solid 4/5.

Saw this business from a distance and was eager to try. Big fan of donuts and these were REALLY good. Very simple, aesthetic, and cute AND there fresh and hot. Sometimes you can get lucky to even watch them make them in front of you! I recommend, even pricing is good. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Freshly made designer mini donuts with quite a wide variety of flavors and toppings. A good selection of coffees, & lattes which go well with the donuts. I definitely recommend you check this place out .

I am embarrassed to say that I found this place because I was looking for Starbucks. But we went in here instead. Glad we did. Friendly service Clean Super cute donut decor (love the variety of donut wallpaper) Delicious deep fried mini donuts like the fair. Hot and squishy. Mmmm Locally brewed coffee. Yummy coffee. Not the overly sweet trash from Starbucks. You wouldn't want that with the sweet donuts. It is just good well made coffee. I had a latte. Mmm I recommend!

It's a little overpriced for mini donuts, but it makes up for it because it is made hot and fresh on the spot. It melts in your mouth with all the yummy flavors that you order. The strawberry and chocolate is a good combo with sprinkles on top. The dangerous part of the mini donuts is that they're bite sized. So you pop them in your mouth one by one until they are all gone. Dangerous.

My kids love it here. How can you go wrong with mini donuts made to order, fresh on the spot. They are warm, melt in your mouth, and delicious! We will be back!

The mini donut factory is a very good donut. However, in the mini donuts, the main flavor (no matter what "cute flavor you order) is baking powder. The baking powder is so strong that it overwhelms anything else, which is too bad. The entire concept is wonderful. Someone needs to tweak the recipe a tiny bit and all would be perfect. I would recommend giving mini donuts a chance, maybe your taste buds are not as sensitive as mine are and the baking soda flavor won't be as strong so the actual flavor of the mini donuts will shine, as they should, because they are cute & delicious!! Give it a try!!

The donuts are amazing!! You can see their donut making station, and their restaurant is a small, amazing donut shop. They have such cool donuts ranging from their donut of the day, to a French toast donut. To be honest, their donuts are a little pricy, but are amazing so it's so worth to get! This shop is something you would see viral on any social media app. I will for sure come back here! Also, they have taken very good COVID measures, with staff wearing masks and blockers between the staff and myself. Come here whenever you have the chance!!! Another note: donuts are super fresh and they have drinks which I didn't try but look amazing!

So fun! Came in for some mini donuts with the tots. This was a hit for the kids. They loved picking out which doughnuts they wanted off the display. It would be helpful if the display was reachable for the kids but I don't mind lifting them up for a visual. It was fun watching staff decorate the doughnuts too. I always get 12 mini doughnuts :) they are always so warm and gooey in the best way! The Experience is quick, clean, entertaining and yummy!! Will be back soon! Didn't get much pictures of the doughnuts! They were gone before I could shoot a picture. Enjoy the sunshine, Jennah

YUM! Made fresh to order mini donuts! Warm donuts are the best! So soft! So fluffy! These aren't your typical dense cake donuts. I tried the cookies & cream, fruity pebbles, cinnamon sugar & chocolate. They were all yummy. Not too sweet. The exterior has a slight crunch. Can't wait to try the other flavors!

The mini donuts are perfect to share! I got a dozen mini donuts for my niece and nephews to share. They are made fresh and are deliciously decorated. I recommend if you are going to buy then eat then that same day. They weren't great after a day, I think because they are mini they get stale pretty quickly.

Cute minis! I purchased the dozen minis. It's about $1 a mini donut. Seems more quaint than for the product itself. The staff was friendly, helping me with the options as it was my first time. Powdered sugar donuts taste like mini funnel cakes! All kinds of ore determined toppings. I would purchase again for a corporate office party.

The dough itself is super soft and served warm/freshly fried. However, the flavors aren't anything amazing and quite sweet.

What do you get when you go to the donut shop at 2:00 pm on Sunday? Dried up, cold, and incredibly stale donuts. That's what I made myself mentally ready when I went to Mini Donut Factory. I could have gone in at the rush hour but I couldn't resist. I was wrong. They make their donuts as they take orders. So their donuts are fresh whenever you go in. The price was a bit pricey, and the size is about a donut hole. but I look forward to their creativity and will be back.

Apparently a new place around town. We saw it driving by and received a few coupons in the mail so were intrigued. So it's a cute little adorably designed place. Definitely feels like a donut shop. But then it's a little different. First off little is literal as in mini donuts haha. I'd say two or three mini donuts equals one normal sized one at another place. We got a box of twelve with three free ones because of coupons. To split with two people for breakfast with nothing else to eat besides drinks we ate the whole box. Dare I say we were being pretty glutinous. Lol Anyways it was more than enough to get full on and certainly didn't need the three free but they were there and free and fresh so we ate them. They were good and cute. What I really liked about the place was the fact that they do the frosting and toppings in front of you. All behind a glass wall so you can see. Just a cool concept. It also made the frosting a little pleasantly warm and just more fresh than typical donuts. The fact that they are mini also means you can get more flavors to try at once. I love variety! And while there are only a few frostings the toppings make the flavor still decently different from one donut to the next. We got hot chocolates which were fine and fresh but not very strong chocolate. Seemed just watered down or something but they added caramel flavor for us upon request so that was a nice touch. All in all a fun unique place, fresh frosted donuts and if you are not so glutinous then twelve donuts should work for probably three people or four. They also have a twenty four and I think a six donut option.

A new place in our neighborhood. We have already tried these mini donuts in the shopping center, so we are very happy that one store has opened so close to our home. Donuts are made right in front of you , and you can choose which ones you want. Hot, fresh and absolutely delicious! It's a real pleasure! Just take a look at the photo !
