Not far from A Baker’s Wife is another classic south Minneapolis Bakery, Mel O Glaze. What Mel O Glaze does well is the yeast raised and glazed donut. It’s an American classic that was popularized again by Crispy Creme but Mel O Glaze has been making them for more than five decades. Doughy, buoyant and collapsing when you bite into them, it’s hard not to love the raised and glazed!

Yo Yo Donuts was kind of Minnesota’s first in the “New Wave” of fancy donut shops. They have the creative, kooky kinds of donuts. Things like a Smore’s Donut with a Marshmallow toasted and tucked into the hole. Or a Worms and Dirt Donut with gummy worms circling Oreo Crumbs. It’s fanciful and fun, not to mention delicious!

The new kid on the donut shop block is Glam Doll. And the style, theme and look is all about Glam Doll. With a 1940′s vibe and pinups everywhere, Glam Doll does donuts with a flair.
