One of the must visits every time my fiancé/family and I visit Jacksonville. I normally don’t eat sweet stuff or dessert type things, but I do when it comes to them. My favorite is the basic cinnamon sugar one, and I love that they make them fresh to order. I always say I’m just going to eat one and end up eating about 6 😭 it helps that they’re small!
The Mini Bar is a great place to swing by if you are craving something sweet. They specialize is made to order mini donuts with wide variety of toppings. These donuts are amazing, especially if you eat them while they are still warm! They also have a nice selection of coffees and and cereal milk.Definitely give this place a try!
Amazing looking donuts that dont quite taste as good as they look. Boston creme and mint chip were disappointing. Samoa was best of the bunch. Annoying that if you buy 24, you can only choose six varieties. (Also, birch beer is not the same as root beer.) Staff was great - friendly, patient and helpful.
I’m obsessed with this place! They are always friendly here and their coffee is legit the absolute best. We live within walking distance to this place, and I’m so happy that we do, because I go here like 1-2 times per week. They have donut flavors that are also so unique and different from other donut shops around.
While I waiting for my doctor appointment I came across this place. Upon entry it very well light with an nice accent brick wall and tile counter. Also they have a unique pice. Its a Volkswagen that has been cut in half in half and is used as the counter. When ordering i was meet with this young lady who was delightful. She pointed me to the menus in such a nice way. She also explained thoroughly what they have and that they serve interns of food. They serve three little donuts that come together so there are no individual donuts. When it comes down to the coffee it has a kick but to me it is to be honest more like dark water. It doesnt have that robust taste. Yet when it comes down to the donuts. I got the Expresso donuts. They were delicious. The Expresso cream taste exactly like Expresso. Sadly I wish that they would transfer that over to there coffee. But they do serve wine, Mimosa and cart beers on tap which surprised me. They also have a fruity pebbles and PB&J special. So if you live in the area or just want to support a local shop give this place a visit. You might be surprised like I was. Also when comes down to safety they are very mask conscious and that is a huge win for me.
Really great experience at The Mini Bar. The donuts were wonderful, service was excellent and they have the most amazing military discount Ive ever seen! Wonderful place.
So good! Ive been to the beach location and the atmosphere here is just as nice! And the doughnuts are still amazing!
I’ve been now 2 times by 8am the first and the second before 10am and neither times have the wheat free donuts. However my husband is not gluten free and loves the regular donuts. The poor girl checking us out and making drinks was trying to do it all. Another staff member to help her would be a good suggestion so she isn’t trying to make drinks and take orders at the same time. It would help with the line esp on a Saturday and Sunday.
OMG..where have these mini donuts been all my life!?!?!? Bite size donuts made fresh when you order them, delicious coffee, yummy prosecco, yes they have wine and beer, and great service. They offer 4, 6, 8,16 & 24 packs. We got 16 for $15.50. And can we get enough of the cute decor? We are visiting Jax but next time we are here... this is OUR first stop. DELISH...WE WILL BE BACK! TREAT YOURSELF
My regular coffee spot before work. So good and staff is super nice. Please add a vegan donut option!
Had fun at the Harry Potter Happee Birthday event hosted by the restaurant today. It was very packed when we went so we waited about 10 minutes in line. I ordered the butter beer latte, the Polyjuice potion, the three mini donuts with vanilla glaze and sprinkles, strawberry glaze (like Harrys cake from Hagrid), and the icing with caramel and your house flag. I chose Slytherin of course. My boyfriend got some kind of hotdog bread food. I didnt catch the name. I wore my Slytherin outfit and my partner wore my Slytherin shirt. They gave away free stickers. I wanted the mug but they sold out sadly. I wish the butter beer was a little sweeter and tasted like butterscotch. But the mini donuts were amazing. I would definitely come back here so I can try other donuts they have. They also have craft beers too. So its definitely a bar.
The donuts were amazing. I was a little thrown back by the price but I guess that’s the cost of gourmet donuts. The place itself is super cute and the staff was nice. I gave 4 stars because I wasn’t a fan of the coffee and it was a little on the bitter side but overall a great cute little place.
Very cute cafe with a very fun menu. I got the cereal milk latte and an order of 3 mini donuts (flavors: smores, fruity pebbles and cosmic brownie) yummy donuts! My son ate the fruity pebbles one in what seemed like 2 seconds however my coffee didnt really have a cereal taste. Just tasted like a regular latte but a really good latte.
I love the whole concept of this place, as I love donuts and want to try different kinds, but can never finish them because they are always too big and too rich (or Ill finish them and feel awful afterwards because Im a glutton for punishment). Mini Bar offers just what they say - mini donuts. And they are brilliant!The mini donuts are made to order, so you will be getting fresh, light, melt in your mouth goodness. There are a bunch of different kinds to try and they also offer variety packs, for those who are indecisive (*humbly raises hand*) or just want to treat themselves.My husband and I got the 8 pack, which allows you to chose 4 flavors (2 of each). We got the Pop Tart, Coffee Cake, Fruity Pebbles and the monthly special, Cookie Monster. They were all delicious and all the perfect amount. The price for the variety packs is also super fair imo, given how decadent these baby donuts still are. The Coffee Cake was our favorite out of those, and the Pop Tart was just a bit too rich with the strawberry glaze for us, but it was still tasty. Definitely would be able to tell it was mimicking a Strawberry Pop Tart in a blind taste test.They also offer coffee, hot chocolate, and even beer and wine. So they truly are a bar in the traditional sense of the word as well. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming and the staff is friendly. They also have an area where you can watch the donuts being made, which is always fun.Check this place out, you wont be disappointed!
This is my go to coffee shop. The lattes are amazing! Customer service is great! I sometimes walk there from my home. They know me by name and know my drink I get. I highly recommend..it wont disappoint. My favorite donut is the maple bacon.
Minibar is an absolute delight to go to! Good coffee, speciality mini donuts! They always have a different theme and are able to create unique themes for events! The merchandise they offer is awesome as well- from Star Wars baby Yoda, to Harry Potter, to Duval themed items including t-shirts and coffee mugs! I love trying new flavors and it is a hit no matter who I bring them to! Love having this spot in our neighborhood!
SO delicious, I think I can eat a million of their donuts in a row & it still wouldnt be enough. Definitely coming back!
The donuts are tasty and inventive but the prices are outrageous. We came in just to try new flavors of doughnuts. If youre looking for a filling breakfast youre going to have to spend a lot. I wont be back, but it was fun to sample all of the different doughnuts.
I love the gate parkway location better than at the beach. The best coffee and donuts. June is sooooo nice and the other girls who open in the mornings are just the sweetest. Coming to the shop sure does make you feel like a local. Love love love the place and the team that runs the gate parkway location!!
Yesterday was our first visit but it will not be our last. The donuts were made fresh so were warm when eating & literally melted in your mouth. I mean, fresh warm donuts? Theres just nothing better 🤤I can say with confidence, these are some of the BEST donuts Ive ever had! Mini sized donuts that you are guaranteed to LOVE! The hot cocoa & iced caramel latte did not disappoint either - YUM! The staff was very nice & the store was clean. We cant wait to go back for more!
Let me start by saying I have been a fan and supporter of the beach location from the start. That’s probably what set a high standard for MiniBar. Today I placed an online order and I received a confirmation and my card was charged. When I showed up to pick up the order I was told that it just didn’t print and that I’d need to wait almost 10 minutes for my order. That’s great but the point of an online order is quick so people can make it to work. But all that is acceptable. The one star is because of the manager. I asked for a refund and the employee helping me got the manager. The manager didn’t say a word. Just typed on the screen and finally looked up and said you’ll see your refund in about a week. No sorry for the inconvenience. No urgency to resolve the situation. Completely unacceptable for what I’ve come to expect from MiniBar.
Donuts are mini & they taste delicious. Each order is made while you wait, warm & the toppings are delicious. Expensive for 3 donuts @ $3.95.
Excellent donuts. Warm, sweet, and the perfect crunch into a soft interior.
Seems like a trendy place. Food quality was good, but pricey for the quantity. Price point could be lowered.
Always fresh items and strong cups of coffee too.
The Mini Bar is a Jacksonville gem. Owned by one of the hardest working couples I know, they are a shining example of a local small business with a heart for this community. Not only are their donuts divine, but incredibly creative and truly works of art. They also partner with Bold Bean to brew delicious local coffee, and have the cutest swag in town. I’m a Jax Beach regular, and will be sure to stop by the Gate location when I’m around the Town Center area. This business is a must-visit for locals and tourists alike.
The price is higher for small donuts but if you realize they are making hot fresh custom donuts for you then you will understand !! Delicious !! A must have !!
Awesome mini donuts! Always lookout for the flavor of the month or the weekend. Very good coffee too!
We LOVE both this and the beaches location. The donuts are fresh. Tried their coffee for the first time and it was excellent
Customer service and donuts are excellent. The coffee beverages are a little too sweet for my taste. I’ve had both the iced vanilla and chai lattes and I could not finish either.
Cute fun atmosphere, amazing customer service & the mini donuts were fresh & delicious!!
The best donuts for the fat kid that lives in all of us. Love that theyre smaller so you can try so many different ones!!
Yummy all the way! You cant go wrong with anything you choose to eat here.
This place has some great donuts, their 3 pack is my quick go to with Boston creme that isnt too rich, and 2 other flavors that I mix up every time. My favorite non menu flavor so far was the pretzel chocolate donut.
Yummy but way too expensive
I am so glad there is one closer to me now! I just love these little donuts and they are a special treat for me and my family. They always taste delicious and staff is very friendly. I like to place my order online and I have never had a problem.
Being coffee lover, I always look for different coffee shops to explore. I came across to this cute little donut and coffee bar. The ambiance is very appealing and adorable. The donuts were warm and delicious so does coffee.This definitely will be my go to place for my book reading♥️
Really good donuts, always warm. Great coffee
Great donuts, not as much variety as I would have liked.
Super delicious donuts! The fruity pebble is a MUST try. The honey vanilla iced latte was amazing. I’m not a coffee anything drinker, but husband got the drink and I couldn’t stop sipping it. We were only passing through Jacksonville, but after leaving this place, we wished we had one in Virginia Beach!
I really liked the coffee and the donuts; however, when I went today to get them, I was treated very badly and had the worst customer service from (Taylor).
These donuts WERE THE BEST IVE EVER HAD!!!! No exaggerations! The flavors they came up with are very cool and the cake was light, fresh and warm! The flavors were awesome, I got coffee cake, expresso, lemon poppy, and mint chip vanilla. Perfect bite-size too! It was soo good I called them back to tell them!
I like the different toppings, but it seemed like it was all the same donut.
Fresh and delicious. Highly recommend going here if I’m your in the mood for a sweet treat.
Efficient, clean operation. Quite a few varieties of donut flavors and they taste great. The donuts are made to order so they are still warm when your donuts are handed to you. Its a bit pricey, but its not an everyday, generic donut shop, either. One of the best things they do is to serve local drinks...the coffee is Bold Bean and beers are a constant revolving selection from local craft breweries.
Creative bite sized delicious doughnuts. Friendly and helpful customer service. Im on a mission to try them all.
I go every morning for coffee. This place is awesome and the donuts are delicious too!
Nice place to talk have donuts and coffee.
I love this place! On the spot, great menu, great drinks, great staff, great environment. Inside & outside seating. Definitely recommend!
Friendly service thats always fast despite the morning rush and delicious donuts. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
Awesome lil spot for a nice treat. The workers are great and the baristas are quick and accurate. Packing on some extra lbs never felt so worth it.
Love the coffee cake an Boston cream worth going to. Perfect size to enjoy with the wonderful coffee they have
Customer service was bad, donuts were good but way over priced
This place is flat out incredible! Dont miss out!
Please try their coffee. It is so good that it is addictive.
This place has a cute atmosphere and a nice selection of flavors. My favorite was the salted caramel
Always delicious. Wish they made a standard glaze though
Pretty good, very fresh donuts, made to order. Bite sized. Good selection of toppings and flavors!
Great place to meet and catch up with friends. I will be bringing family next time. Bring your hunger - portions are filling. Food is similar to a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.
Great mini donuts and coffee
So soft and warm.. Its mouth love!!
Best donuts I have ever had. Wish we had one in Brunswick, Ga
These mini donuts are really good. The donut has a nice crisp flavorful taste presentation was excellent and they dont cost that much.
Awesome perfect coffee and fresh hot mini donuts..my wife and i loved them!!!!
My kid love the strawberry sprinkles mini donut! Great place and awesome donuts.
Cute place... it was great up until the cashiers made it obvious to look at the receipt when it prints out to see how much youve tipped them.
Best donuts in town, I go every weekend, seriously every weekend, they make me so happy, the people are friendly. I even bought a shirt and face covering from them! If you don’t go here you are missing out. The best donut flavors is the Rice Krispy and strawberry sprinkles!
Super cute place and donuts are delicious.
FIVE STAR obviously first time ever having donuts there. The donuts were perfect like spot on and the service is amazing the cashier she was pretty cool. I love it
Drove from tampa just for a box. The best Ive had
