The Mini Donut Company

I could eat my weight in these donuts! The trick here is to get the box of 25. You get 1 of each type and then a couple extra of some of your favorites. This is a hidden gem in Liberty Public Market. The donuts here will change your life!

Heavily disappointed in this place that I was hoping to love. Despite being “mini”, they are priced nearly the same as regular donuts, with 4 minis being $5. They lacked flavor, texture, and quality. I found them to be spongy and dry. Would recommend yum yum donuts instead! Also, the way that the owner responds to less than 5 star reviews is incredibly unprofessional.

My go-to place for treats for the office. Always a huge hit with my colleagues and friends. Because their mini size and delicious taste, everyone eats them guilt-free. 🤭 Fortunately, I’m able to order the mini donuts delivered to my office. It’s only $4.99 for delivery (must be $15 minimum order)! 👍 What an amazing delivery price.

These donuts are amazing, so many different flavors and toppings… they are fun! I always order ahead for pick up in the morning, and they are always ready and fresh. Super tasty. Great for a work team. 🍩👍🏼… great service too, thank you all.

Good variety of mini donuts. Price point is right and the cereal toppings on the donuts were not stale which is usually an issue with those types of donuts. The variety pack gives you between 2-6 of the various flavors which was cool to get a sampling of what they offer. I’d definitely get them again. Good value for what you receive.

Cute place! Cutier doughnuts 🍩 😋! Many flavors, parking is sometimes more difficult than other times but worth it! Doughnuts are on the heavier cakey side keep in mind when ordering.

We love these mini donuts. Whenever we've taken them somewhere, they are gone in a flash. So many choices, so many yummy flavors

Update to my review from 2 years ago. For over twenty five years, I've made it a point to support small businesses in my community, including the Mini Donut Company at Liberty Station. It has become a cherished routine and a small pleasure I look forward to. However, today’s visit was unexpectedly different. I was met with an embarrassing and frankly insulting demand to “prove” my identity before picking up my order. For those familiar with parking near the Public Market, you can understand that I was fortunate to find an open 1-hour parking spot. I left my phone and wallet in the car, anticipating a quick run-in and run-out, as I usually do. Additionally, I was dressed professionally for work, so there was no confusion about my being a paying customer. The implication was clear: I was being treated as if I were some random, untrustworthy individual—possibly a homeless person lurking to steal three dozen donuts. This experience was deeply upsetting and completely out of character for my past interactions at this establishment. Being questioned about my identity after years of patronage was not only humiliating but also felt discriminatory. I also want to thank the employee who answered the call and clearly did not relay my message to Matt, the owner, to discuss my experience. TWO YEARS AGO - The absolute cutest, freshest and perfect treat! Consistent delicious taste!

Such a fun treat! We ordered in advance and the donuts were ready for us when we arrived to pick them up. Parking is easy and free, and the shop was brightly-lit and colorful. It can be a little bit hard to find in the maze of Liberty station. We got an assorted 64 donut box, and it was so pretty! We liked that they are miniature so we could try all of the flavors. Great for a group setting!

Who doesn't love mini version of things? Mini Donuts are awesome! I love that you can get a variety of donuts rather than just one. It's a lot more fun. The Mini Donut Co. has some fun flavors , and lot of options to choose from. Last time I visited you had to get a minimum 6 donuts. It looks like they've updated it to a minimum of 3 donuts which makes more sense. You can easily eat 6 (I bought 12) dont get me wrong but there's times when you're simply not in a mood for that many! Glad to see the updates! The staff can be a little short. The ambiance is LOUD as is anything inside Liberty Public Market lol. I do wish there were more Mini Donut Co. around town. I like the idea of having small portions of sweets and treats.

I have to say I was quite underwhelmed! Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of cake donuts. These one all had the same texture and were really really sweet! I had one and didn't know what to think of it other than disappointment (small homer style pink donut) then I had the apricot and spit it out. And to be honest, I just stopped. I will say, they are very pretty looking so if I wanted to put them on social media without anyone having to taste them I could see doing that. My wife really liked them, so I could just be weird, but I won't personally be back and will just stick with Randy's Donuts

Cute stall in Liberty Station Market place. Friendly service. Decent prices. The donuts were delicious!

Come to mama! These donuts are so cute and delish. Seriously no guilt in eating these. Super fresh and so many options. We only got a pack of 6 which is the perfect size to get your sweet tooth fill. Can't wait to go back and try the other flavors!

ZERO STARS I ordered here and interact with the most rude cashier. I don't know it was the norm to beg for a tip and be verbally disappointed when I didn't tip for putting 5 donuts in a container. Sorry you missed out on my 50 cent tip I guess you guys are going through some tough times tho... so I get it.

Yummy donuts! Colorful, big selection too. So the idea is you can eat more than one mini donut and not feel like you ate more than one regular-sized donut. This should be the case but possibly not always. Watch out, the calories are still there regardless, albeit in a smaller fashion. They are very tasty and addictive, well, like most good donuts are?! I tell you one thing, honestly it was hard to pick a favorite among the group, though anything with chocolate typically would be a win for me. They appeared to have everything totally stocked on this day and time, and it happened to be Thursday around 230pm. Getting geared up for the evening crowd maybe. I got the 25 pack and used a local flavor deal I had, where I paid about 50% of face value credit on the app. I thought it was worth it, and if you buy more you get ma better value. So if you are nearby, like at Liberty Station- never know you just might get that donut craving at some odd time and need a few of these tasty treats.

The staff here was super friendly. Maybe it's because I came later in the day (6ish pm), but the donuts were quite dry and not very flavorful. I might come again at an earlier time and change my review.

Doordash Order Date of Visit: 4.16.2025 Cuisine Type: Donut shop Vibe: N/A Cost: ~$25-$50 per person depending on what you order What I Ordered & How It Was: 25 assorted donuts : 3.5/5 - I tried one of each of the different donuts in the picture. I think they do a good job of making the donuts very instagramable. There is plenty of color and each donut looks unique. I don't think the donut's base is unique and in think everything there is just a different kind of sugar a bit over the top for my platte. The icing all taste pretty similar just sweet. The donut thing which i did enjoy is the fruity pepples one since they brought in a new texture which is nice considering the texture of the donuts base are kind of doughy and thick. Service & Atmosphere: Service: N/A Ambiance: N/A Overall Thoughts: Best thing I ate: Probably just the fruity pepples one. Something to improve: I don't really enjoy the base dough since it is a bit more doughy and dense without any additional flavor to it. Even though the donuts look unique, once you start trying them they all taste very similar the sugar frosting just taste like different colors with the same frosting base with the exception of the chocolate one. I think if you can possibly inject more flavor vs. just sugar into those frostings it'll make the donuts pop more with individuality. Personally, I wish the donuts have more varity in base texture form...make some raised or and some deep fried like old fashioned. By varying the actual flavor profile and donut textures you will truely have something that will make people come back since they don't know what to expect besides a color change. Lastly, this is pretty pricey for what it is. I think people are really just paying the price for the ig. Would I come back? Probably not unless things change? I think no matter you will always have customers because of the marketing it is definitely a really fun looking space and the packaging is festive

Ayeee! Mini donuts are the best! We stumbled upon this place while one of our many visits to the liberty market place, yes, we are regulars here. There are so many different flavors to choose from it's hard to pick just one, or two. So my best suggestion is get them ALL! That's what we did :) we got two of each, they had 18 flavors the day we went. So we got a box of 36... yum yum! Might be my last giant sweets splurge before I kick start this New Year's resolution of mine to cut back on sweets They're not your typical Dunkin' or anything like that, not even close! Each bite is full of sweetness and fluffiness, spongy but moist! The icing is the best! Not overly sweet, just right! I can say the lemon flavor was my absolute favorite! The girl working the counter was super nice and got our order to go quick and moved through all the flavors so effortlessly! That girl is a total pro! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone! Check them out!

This Mini Donut Company is tucked in a corner at the Liberty Market. They get little foot traffic as a result. I really want to like this place. The cashier was fine. I found their donuts to be expensive. It really isn't anything special. The donuts were soft. They are gone in one bite. Go to a donut shop and get a better deal on a bigger donut!

Stopped by here before we were leaving the market & decided to leave with some desserts. The mini donuts were good & tasty! However the girl working yesterday evening was not very friendly. Don't think she ever smiled or greeted us with a hello when we were next to order. Before she closed the box, I asked her if I could quickly grab a donut for my son. She seemed almost annoyed and then walked away before closing the box.. so I did so myself. Not the friendliest customer service experience

Friendly staff and yummy donuts. These have been my go-to for parties, potlucks, and office gatherings.

This place is the best!!!! The donuts are delicious and always great service! I will usually order ahead of time for larger orders and it works out great!! Highly recommend!

These donuts might be mini but they pack big flavor. The dough is incredibly delicious, not too heavy, and perfectly pillowy. The icings are so flavorful, the strawberry was my favorite, but each tasted exactly as described. Perfect little donuts, would love to try more of their flavors This place is located on the back corner of Liberty Pubkic Market, make sure to make your way all the way through to find them!

The Mini Donut Company is located in Liberty Station's food hall tucked away in a little alleyway. For 3 donuts it was $4.99. I got the Strawberry Sprinkles, Chocolate, and Maple. The texture of the donut breading was a little dense, more cake-like than fluffy. It reminded me of the tiny powdered sugar donuts you can get in a pack at the grocery stores. Overall favorite for me was the Maple, which was surprising since I am not typically a Maple-loving person, it's usually too sweet for me but it hit the spot compared to the other two. Overall cute dessert, and I appreciated that I could try multiple flavors since they were so tiny and shareable.

This is a cutesy little donut place. They are all essentially the same base donut with pretty toppings on them. The kids were fans. It can be a little difficult to get in and out of liberty station.

$9.99 For a 12-pack of mini donuts is amazing!!! Forgot to take a photo because it went away super quick... Love supporting a small business! Service was amazing and you have a lot of choices to choose from! A must for anyone going to Liberty Station.

Amazing donuts for my baby shower. They were decorated cute and tasted delicious! Staff was rly helpful and kind as well.

The cutest little donuts! Friendly staff and they're also open at the Liberty Station Farmer's market on Saturdays. 10/10

Normally, I don't like to leave low-star reviews, but these donuts were not very good. For how much they cost, the mini donuts are a gimmick that doesn't deliver on texture and flavor. The donuts don't really have that airy/fluffy texture, or the cakey/dense texture. It's a texture that's hard to describe, but it loses points there. The flavors are also very artificial-tasting. The banana on the chocolate-banana donut especially. The maple and churros flavors were the only glazes that I liked. The service was friendly though which is a plus. I'll stick to my local donut shop. My favorite is Golden Donut in Hillcrest!

This place is located inside of Liberty Station Market. The man working here was very nice and professional. We bought 3 mini donuts for $3.99 and ate them outside. They were very sweet but tasty!

My family ordered these little donuts from DoorDash. Super cute in presentation, however lacks flavors. They are extremely subtle, but that might be what you want! These would be cute for the office especially if you know those people who cut regular sized donuts in half.

We were on the hunt for donuts late Saturday night and got so lucky to find that TMDC was still open at 8pm! NOT TO MENTION, THEY'RE MINIS!!! So we hurried over to Liberty Station and luckily found a quick parking spot to get out of the crazy rain. Overall - location, parking and the food court were super easy to find and get to... the place was HUGE and definitely a MUST return to to try out all the spots. TMDC is found closer to the back but if you follow your nose - you'll know where to go. You can honestly smell them across the building. The setup is very simple and straightforward so don't make it complicated. The left-hand side of the stand has all of their mini donuts displayed for you to choose from; the right-hand side has their mini-donut making machine so you can watch the little bundles being made. THEY DON'T SELL SINGLES. They sell by the 'case' - 6, 12, etc. Besides - who wants just 1, anyways! 6 mini donuts equals like 1.2 - 2 big donuts so you just get to sample more flavors! Their service is short, sweet, and to the point so be ready to choose your minis, pay, and get to eating. Like I said, it's simple.

I like the fact that they are MINI. The donuts are good, not the best I've ever had but decent. I do like the creative ideas. The place was very busy. I might be back.

The best thing about this place is how cute these mini donuts are! However, after trying 6 of them, I can say I wouldn't get it again. After all, it comes out to about $1 per mini donut. I can get a real-sized donut for a similar price. The only one I really enjoyed and would want again is the Strawberry with Cocoa Pebbles. I also tried Churro (dry), Fruity Pebbles (too sweet), Glazed (dry), Lemon Bar (no lemon flavor) and Maple (sweet, but didn't taste like maple). Not worth it imo.

I'm not a big fan of donuts, but I could not resist on trying this donut shop out. I haven't seen a mini donut shop that did flavors other than powder and plain. This place did those as well as interesting flavors such as root beer and chocolate raspberry! The flavors that I tried were delish and it was a plus that they were all bite sized. This place is located in the Liberty Station food hall so there was plenty of seating.

While on my work trip I was given a free donut mini from this restaurant. So I drove over there and found where the shop was in the liberty station. The staff were very friendly and polite. I ordered the chocolate, strawberry, churro and cinnamon sugar. These donuts were small but they care a great deal of flavor. These donuts are great. Ambiance was very nice.

The Mini Donut Company Point Loma location can be found in the Liberty Public Market, not too far from the San Diego airport. It fits in nicely with all the other cute vendors within the market. The concept of mini donuts are appealing as it caters to those who are exercising portion control and people who want to try multiple donut flavors without going into sugar overload. They have a standard donut menu and a weekly changing rotation of unique donut flavors. While some of the eclectic flavors did not seem appealing to me, I was happy to try some that did interest me like churro and maple frosted. Overall, the donuts were above average and I'd rate them a 3.5/5 if Yelp allowed half stars. I liked that they weren't overly sweet on an individual level, but the sugar does begin to hit you if you eat more than one. The price point is a bit high at about a dollar a donut, and felt the donuts were more style than substance, so feel the above average rating of 3 is fair. All in all, not the best donut experience, but not bad either.

This is located in a food hall in Carlsbad! It's quite cute and has a lot of options that are unique for their mini donuts. It's great for people that don't like eating whole donuts or want to try a lot of flavors. We just got a three pack of simple flavors and thought they were ok! Nothing super special but it was convenient and cute! Service was average and there's plenty of seating in the food hall, even though it was busy

I have been a BIG supporter and lover of this place until today (7.3.25) I walked in, the guy behind the counter didn't even realize we were there for a few minutes because he was on his computer. When we got his attention, he told me he was doing his schoolwork. He used the same gloves he had on to grab our donuts as he was using on his computer, which is breaking mani sanitary violations. On top of this, the donuts we got were not fresh at all. 0/10 experience and waste of money.

first time it's a mini donut company in San Diego at the liberty public market! Overwhelmed by the selection of flavors that they had, luckily, the person behind the counter was super helpful, and patient with a tough decision making, which made up for great service. The ambience of it is a walk-in. Of course, there is no seating, and it's a pretty much pick and choose a flavor and leave kind of deal.

My wife, my son and I are visiting from Los Angeles this weekend and we're enjoying some food at the Liberty Public Market, and decided to stop in here for some donuts for my 2 year old because those are his favorite. The girl working the entire gig at 4:45 (tattoos on her right arm and hand) was extremely unpleasant to deal with for us and the customer before us also. She was very rude as we were trying to decide on our dozen; and gave an extremely rude attitude and look as we requested different donuts for our dozen. As good at the donuts were; the interaction ruined the entire experience and I will gladly say that we won't be returning on our next visit to San Diego unfortunately. For a donut shop, you would think you'd hire someone with a better stature and attitude to represent the company.

Cutest donuts everrr! Super yummy and love the different flavors. Perfect for sharing and the perfect size too

At The Windmill Hall of Foods "the Mini Donut Company," the donuts are made fresh daily. When the supply runs low, more are made about mid-day. Donuts are either original or strawberry... very moist. The glazes include: vanilla, chocolate & maple or fruity pebbles.

A bit disappointed with today's grand opening at the Padres Petco Park location. They advertised coffee, so I waited in line planning to grab a cup along with a half dozen mini's. But when it was finally my turn to order, I was told they didn't make any coffee today. This is the grand opening, and an advertised item wasn't even available? That's unfortunate--definitely should've been better prepared.

This three star review has a lot to do with the quality of the donuts. I may revisit and rewrite my review in the future because I came here late afternoon (4 PM), so the donuts were not fresh. I'm also a huge donut lover. There's a large variety of flavors to choose from. I got too excited and didn't order any chocolate ones (which are my go-to donut flavors). We ordered one dozen. Our favorites worth mentioning are the fruity pebble and maple mini donuts. The rest of the flavors I wouldn't order again because the dough was dry and the donut itself lacked flavor. I expected them to be a little more sweet. They didn't hit that sweetness level I would've liked. I love the decor here. It's warm and inviting just like the employees. I also loved the neon sign.

I was traveling SD. My kids wanted donuts and I wanted to try local shops. I found this Mini donut company. The service was great and the mango donut was so good! We ended up buying a dozen donuts! Enjoyed every bite of them. :)

We ordered half a dozen and tried banana nut, blueberry, apple fritter, fruit pebbles, cinnamon sugar, and sprinkles. The donuts were cute and perfectly bite sized. I like the concept of mini donuts so that you can try different flavors especially since i can never finish a regular sized donut by myself. However, I believe it missed the mark for me. The donuts were not as light, fluffy and airy as I expected. They were more on the dense side, a little dry and pretty sweet from the icing. The best donut that we tried was the blueberry since you can really taste the flavor. The workers were friendly and welcoming as this was our first time visiting the store and had a hard time deciding which flavors to choose. Theres plenty of parking since its located in a public market with other vendors!

Now... you can't go wrong with a good doughnut, lol... this is a small little place bear stone brewery, and it's an awesome little hot spot. 1- very small but full of deliciousness and love, lol. They have a great open display to pick your doughnuts, and there is plenty of seating outside to enjoy these delightful doughnuts. 2- The service was simple and nice, and the hosts behind the counter had great suggestions. 3- There are ao many flavors to choose from.and they are soooo goooood. The caramel one and coconut doughnuts were my favorite. You can get them in a Togo box and just be careful... since their bite-sized... you can just keep going with these, lol. I definitely recommend stopping here for some doughnuts. I will say if you take them home they last for about 2 days before they get a little rough. But overall you will enjoy these treats.

I've had their donuts a few times and keep coming back. Mostly since their donuts are super moist, sugary and they always have different flavors/toppings. I like this location since it's on the outskirts of the main market and although it's very popular, the line goes quickly. In this particular visit, my friend asked for recommendations and the person working kindly gave excellent suggestions. I do feel the donut are a tad on the pricey side but treating yourself every once in a while is good! Lastly I want to add that they have a very festive photo backdrop that really adds to the ambiance. Very on point "donut worry be happy."

I love this place the donuts are so cute and delicious! they have a wide variety of different flavors and they're perfect because I can never finish an actual sized donut.

Randomly visited here while I was at Liberty Station strolling around with my friend. The setup is super cute and lured me in. A colorful variety of mini donuts! Honestly, the presentation was so nice. It was too irresistible not to have some. I ordered 6 mini donuts - they are kinda of expensive if you compare it to the cost of regular donuts anywhere else. But in general, not breaking the bank, and it's definitely worth trying (cost me $6 for 6 mini donuts). I've only gone here once, so I'm not sure how frequently they change their donut options. But I ordered the following, in order of my favorites to least favorite: Blueberry - perfect combo of sweet and fruity Maple donut Fruity pebbles Sprinkles Cinnamon sugar All donuts have the perfect amount of flavor, frosting, and mix of density and soft texture. Overall, good quality donuts! I loved that they were mini, so you can sample a variety! Great to shareable desert with friends as well!

First time here and was pretty underwhelmed. We got a 6 pack sampler and our donuts tasted like they had been sitting out all morning. Would be much better warmed up and fresher. The flavors didn't really stand out and the only one we really enjoyed was the powder doughnut. There are tons of good donut spots in SD and this place doesn't make the cut for me. Will not be back and recommend going elsewhere for your sweet tooth! Also $1 per small donut is overpriced even compared to the best donut stores.

My husband and I found our way to The Mini Donut Company for dessert after dining at several spots within the Liberty Public Market. Very friendly and speedy service, a lot of selection of flavors to satisfy most people's sweet tooth preference, and affordable prices that justify their product without question. We ended up having a tough time narrowing down what flavors to try, so we guiltily decided to order six. (It also was the minimum amount we could order...lol.) Though all were tasty, the Lemon and Banana Cream Pie were my favorites. All of the donuts were a good texture and tasted true to their names. We got exactly what we asked for and appreciated it. Treats from The Mini Donut Company were a perfect way to end our meal for the day. We would definitely revisit again as there were many more flavors for us to try in the future! Looking forward to returning sooner than later.

I like the Liberty Station market, and I want to see the businesses there succeed, but I wish the food in it wasn't as mediocre as it is. If you go visit Seattle's public market you encounter a large variety of very fresh and flavorful foods that are addictive and make you want to return. Unfortunately, the food I've tried on each of my visits to the public market have not. Everything has been mediocre to less than. This includes the Mini Donut Company. The dough on these donuts is a bit too dense and dry. The maple frosting was overly sweet rather than a good balance of sweet and creamy. The other toppings such as powdered sugar or cinnamon and sugar are hard to mess up. If you go try the mini donuts at Seattle's public market, the difference will be night and day. If you want to know what an amazing donut that is a nearly perfect balance of fluffy and moist, and creamy sweet, go to Chucks Donuts in Renton, WA. I have not yet found a donut shop in San Diego that comes anywhere near it's quality. No wonder they sell out fast every single day.

Was at Liberty Station waiting for food when I I was craving sweets and remembered the Mini Donut Company was also located in the same area. It wasn't crowded inside and the service was very welcoming and attentive. I ended ordering 2 dozen assorted donuts which totaled around $20. Since it was my first time there, the cashier suggested get 1 of everything and to pick whatever for the remaining few. The donuts were loaded in a cool looking box. The donuts were fresh and very good. Easily could've ate a dozen but did not. Great first experience and will definitely return.

My friend was in a mood for donuts so we shared a dozen for $9.99. We stopped by late afternoon and there weren't a lot of donuts left. The mini donuts were placed on trays on the counter, no covers. My initial thought was this probably wasn't the most sanitized method for displaying donuts. They were fully exposed to the air. Anything could land on these donuts..... I tried one, the lemon, and found it very average. They were small enough where you could finish them in 1-2 bites, good size for little kids. They were a bit pricey in my opinion. Customer service was pretty much non-existent. The guy behind the counter did not greet us or smile. Would I come here again? No.

Cute little shop! I got 2 dozen donuts for $18.99, reasonably priced IMO. No cash, card/contactless payment only. There are different varieties of flavors to choose from, the mini donuts were just enough to satisfy my sweet craving without going overboard. Check them out next time you're hanging at Liberty Station.
