Nokomis · Minneapolis, MN
Glazed, filled, and famous since 1961.
Frying up raised, cake, and specialty donuts on Minnehaha Parkway for over sixty years. Order ahead to skip the morning line.
Six decades of the same corner, the same ovens
Mel-O-Glaze opened in 1961 at 28th and Minnehaha Parkway, and it's stayed a family-run neighborhood bakery ever since. Joggers on the Parkway know to watch out for the pull of fresh donuts wafting out the door.
It's built a reputation as one of Minnesota's most-awarded donut shops — raised and glazed done the traditional way, plus cake donuts, gluten-free options, and a rotating specialty case.
