Dont know why we were surprised at people with donuts and beer flights at their tables at 10:30 am when we visited this unique donut shop in Nashville! Little mini donuts in about a ba-zillion fun flavors, and you can infuse booze into your donut for $1, or get a boozy coffee flight...such a great stop! To my surprise I liked the fruity pebbles flavor the best!

Such a fun little place! Definitely come early to beat the crowd. The strawberry lemonade donuts is amazing. I also loved the s’more donut, death by chocolate and Reese’s. The whiskey donut was average. We did the mimosa flight and sadly didn’t get the cute cups, but they were busy.

Such a great spot! Staff was helpful and friendly. Plays music over the speakers but is set up for live music as well (drum set in the corner). Would recommend a visit here 🍩

I like the mini size, but the issue we had is that since everything is fresh made the glazes arent set and it got messy fast.The flavors were all great, the bar offered breakfast appropriate booze including prosecco on tap, which was wild.Would reccomend just be careful eating as anything filled or glazed is likely to drip on you.

This is an interesting experience: individually prepared mini donuts. We ordered 6 pieces; one of them is the most popular - Whisky Donut. All were very good.For some reasons, our order was not delivered to our table until 20 minutes. The lady (manager?) came and apologized.

A definite must when in Nashville! These donuts are adorable and delicious. I recommend getting the 12 pack to try each flavor. They even make milkshakes and mix in two donuts (and use one to top the shake!). They offer mimosa/donuts flights as well as boozy shakes.

Heres a different play on mini doughnuts. Just add liquor. Can be paired with different flavors and infused with a small injector. Serves beer and wine as well. We visited on our food tour, located in East Nashville.

I love this place. Definitely one of my favorite places in East Nashville. Their boozie shakes are amazing and their tiny donuts are out of this world. And you can even add a little shot injector to your donuts!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Make sure you stop in when you pass through East Nashville.

Outstanding service with such a neat setup. You are able to customize your mini donuts over 10 frostings, 15 toppings and 4 drizzles.If you’re in the area swing by and make this a stop. You will not be disappointed by their service and flavors.Great job guys and keep it up!

Donuts were great as well as the drinks. The beer and Mamosa flights we got were fun and tasted great. Madeline was great and very helpful. To bad the owner was busy socializing instead of helping the poor girl out. Otherwise it was a great visit and place.

As a professional fat kid. I have no reservations in saying these are some of the best donuts Ive ever had. Delightful. Light fluffy cake, tasty toppings, and you can get your hair of the dog to speed up recovery.These donuts may in fact.. save your life.Great folks working here, taking care of customers the best they can and making the most of circumstances when short staffed. Give them patience, show them some love, and theyll shower you with delicious donuts.

Probably the greatest place in the world. 12 delicious mini donuts. Donut and mimosa flights. If you havent been there, you need to go.

Review №28

I ordered the 3-pack mini donuts for $3. The Sweet Swine donut was the best. I cannot recall the other two flavors. The donuts were essentially gourmet donut holes. They were good, but not great unfortunately. I wasnt impressed. The service wasnt bad, but wasnt ideal as I had to wait for over five minutes before anyone offered to take my order. Maybe they were short-staffed as the person appeared stressed. At any rate, I will try again but more interested to go to the one on 5th & Broadway downtown.

Catchy looking donuts and flavors, after walking by the place decided to try it.Donuts - Ended up ordering a sampler of 12 mini donuts. Its all the same donuts, just topped with different toppings. It was ok as flavors could be too rich on some.Price - Prices are normal and fair.Service - Nice employees and helpful.Venue - Inside Assembly hall on the 5th St side entrance. The spot they have is nice, clean, and bright.Worth checking out, but wouldnt come back for seconds.

Review №41

While I wasnt impressed with the donuts, its a cute little place with a very friendly staff. Every donut is mini-sized so we got a 12-pack. We tried 6 different flavors. I highly recommend the cinnamon sugar. The rocky road and boston cream were both solid. The Homer was pretty good. The dreamsicle was TART so be warned. The maple bacon (sweet swine) was the awful- the texture and flavor of the bacon was something that just didnt sit well.The donuts do come out warm and fresh so if you like room-temp donuts, youll want to get these ahead of time!

Pulled in this morning because my usual spot changed their hours. Had no idea what to expect. Its a donut bar! They serve flights of beer and flights of donuts! Boozy milkshakes! Still groggy from the night before, I opted for a nice drip coffee for me and a 25 pack of awesome little donuts for the housemates. Totally worth the the time, and probably a staple for any casual dates. They also do catering, I promise you turn loose a hundred or so of these little mammer jammers at a function instant moral boost, productivity at all time highs. Good stuff.

Great Fresh Gourmet Mini-Donuts. Great service and surprisingly Awesome drink selection. Iced Caramel Coffee was very tasty. Not a Secret by any means, but slower for the first two hours of business. Definitely recommend it. Get Donuts Here, drive to Pedestrian Bridge parking, and walk into Downtown for a commanding view.

This is such a cute place!! Its really cozy, and sitting at the bar with your donuts makes you feel like a local! The staff was really friendly and made great suggestions for drinks and donuts! They also know the area well so can suggest other places to go. I had the tootie fruitie milkshake, and it wasnt a super strong alcohol flavor, so delicious! The dreamsicle donut was also my favorite!

Absolutely abysmal customer service!! I ordered and paid online. It said my order will be ready at 845am. I even got a text saying it was ready.I got there at 9am to have the girl at the register say Itll be a few more minutes. After waiting 25 minutes with no communication/updates, I left without my order. It wasnt just me. I watched a guy wait 15 minutes for a simple drip coffee to go. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME!!

Bad customer service, go to East Park or Status Dough instead. The donuts are better there too.

Review №68

My daughter loved the place, cute little mini donuts. I was a bit underwhelmed with the donut quality and prices. They serve Crema coffee, but Ive had Crema coffee many times and it wasnt up to par with my normal Crema experience and flavor, so Im guessing its in the preparation, or maybe it was just an off day. Its worth checking out if you have young kids, but if youre an adult I would probably head a different direction despite the fact that they market as boozy donuts.

So my wife has an amazing ability to find some pretty cool places to eat with unique menus, atmosphere and today was no different.She found this new place in East Nashville and, as told from a very helpful young man, they used to be a food truck and decided to go brick and mortar and just opened about a month ago.We didnt partake of any of their craft brew distillery items but we did indulge ourselves on some of their amazing mini donuts. We bought some peanut butter and jelly, Reeses, death by chocolate and a few other flavors.I must say these are one of the most delicious things Ive ever eaten and being the perfect bite size you want to just keep eating them!If you are in East Nashville, or even if you arent, drive there and try them. Its totally worth it!#minidonuts #DonutDistillery #EastNashville

What is not to love, full service bar, ice cream, specialty baby donuts, (smores, creamsicle, bacon/maple glaze, and more) and great coffee! It should be a law, every town should have one of these. You have to stop by, very friendly service, just a very cool place!!

Fantastic concept - donuts, local brews, and boozy shakes. Donuts are bite-sized, so no guilty feelings about eating 3 of them. ☺️ so tasty and the create your own is cool too. Oh, and the staff is sooo friendly!

Review №76

Place is pretty dang good. Similar to VooDoo donuts that started out in Portland, Oregon but mini. Because they are mini and you can mix and match, it’s a great opportunity to try a bunch of different flavors. They also have a variety of coffee drinks as well as beers on tap.Price is a little much for the total amount of food you get... but if you sign up for their rewards program you can save some money.Employees need some better training in customer service. A few customers came in and left because no one was out to greet them. Also, a customer who didn’t speak English very well accidentally ordered a bacon donut even though they can’t have bacon. He realized it afterwards, and the employee gave him a really hard time about the order. More training needs to be done for employees since the correct response should have been, “don’t worry, let me see if I can get you some other donuts” instead of “These are what you pointed to so why did you order those?”Got to talk with owner a little bit and they are very kind and hard working. Definitely a small business worth supporting.

Review №77

Rating 4 stars only because of how flipping cold it was in there. It is 55 outside and colder in the coffee shop than it is outside. We waited about 5 minutes for a person to come take our order, but when she came out she was super nice! The donuts and chai were by far the BEST I have ever had (and I don’t say that lightly). Seriously, the food here is phenomenal. On the downside, the family in front of us were offered free donuts for their wait, but we also waited in the freezing cafe (I could not feel my fingers, not could my husband) for 15 minutes and were not offered anything. Again, the food was incredible, but the building really needs to be warmer. And if one customer gets free food for their wait, others should too.

Here is another unique eatery & Bar. They make your donuts fresh to order. Thats not all though. They offer Unique Drinks, Milkshakes (Spiked or Regular), Local Draft Beers and Draft Sodas. There customer service was excellent and the cafe was clean with a rustic decor. I appreciated the display of treats to help me decide which ones I wanted. Thank you for giving me the sweet tooth I need. My family will be returning soon.

As far as Nashville donut joints go, I was underwhelmed with this one. The service firstly was fairly lackluster and impatient, and considering there was almost no one in the store during my visit I could not understand the attitude. When I got the donuts, which are pretty expensive at $1 per 2 inch donut, they did not taste very fresh, with the toppings carrying all the flavor. I recommend trying another joint for any donut venturers in the area.
