they have the best donuts around!! Delish and fresh every time and yummy! I usually get 1 dozen and don't last long as everyone luvs them in my household and at work! they also have a great selection!!! read more

Gotta be honest. There were like 10 choices, it was dirty, the girl working had no idea what any of them were, and rubbed her sweatshirt sleeves along other donuts as she grabbed ours. This place is not what it seems and has not been kept up. Very sad read more

Still the best cake donut! They had another location in Maple Grove and they closed during Covid... Now I am headed back out to Champlin. Worth the drive! The double chocolate is still my absolute favorite! read more

Cafe Donuts - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

Great specialty donut shop hidden in the suburb of Champlin. Seriously, they need to do more advertising as I've lived in the area for two years and didn't know they existed. Cookies and cream donut was so tasty. The fruity pebbles one seemed a little stale as far the crunch of the actual cereal, but I'd imagine it's a tough thing to keep fresh. I will be visiting again. read more

It's sad that this place use to be amazing , now no birthday cakes , barely any customers , the shelf are bare with very little selections, the restroom is dirty (men's ) The feeling of warmth welcoming is replace with emptiness and just lost that welcoming feel read more

We stop at this donut shop every time we head out to ladies day at the horse barn so we have a great selection of donuts for the ladies. The donuts here are light and airy and satisfying. The last time we stopped I checked in and there was a 10% off coupon - yay! This store also has an ice cream shop so you'll likely be able to find something to satisfy your sweet tooth. Stop I. And grab some donuts, you won't be disappointed! read more

This place used to be delicious but we were so disappointed this time around. It's like they're not even using the same recipe. Donuts taste and smell like grease, the chocolate ganache tastes nothing like chocolate. Wondering if it's even the same owner because something isn't right. We literally threw out the entire dozen. Terribly disappointed. read more

I was in search of a place that offered a variety of donuts so that my siblings and parents could all be happy. Let's face it some people like jelly filled, some like chocolate, and others like glazed. Cafe donuts is the place for everyone!! We arrived around 8am on a Saturday morning and it was already busy. There was a group of people enjoying donuts/coffee and a line to order. They offer regular and "fancy" donuts so when I walked in seeing flavors like red velvet, coconut, Boston kreme I thought those were fancy but no!!! They are all considered regular donuts which you can get a dozen for just $10! The fancy donuts were off to the side behind the register. The cashier was patient with us as we tried to decide which ones we wanted and very helpful in helping us pick. The have iced and hot coffee, a 12oz is just $1.29. The coffee was good, tasted a little bland but with some cream or a flavor shot it will liven it up right away! Get a dozen donuts to go! read more

Not sure what happened to this place. We haven't gone in some time, but spent $10 on a half dozen donuts for Mother's Day. As others have mentioned, they must have changed the recipes and ingredients. The oils taste old and the cream fillings are almost absent. I guess we'll be going back to Hans' for our future cravings. Please bring back the Cafe Donuts we used to love! read more

I really like this place - better than Dunkin Donuts, in my option. It's a dollar a donut, or 12 for $10, so I think it only makes sense to get 12. The only thing that sucks about Cafe Donuts is sometimes they don't have the donuts I want (Chocolate Vanilla Cream) and depending on what time you go - I've gone around noon on a Saturday and around 3pm on another Saturday - they didn't have a good selection and they don't tell you if they're making any more. But most of the time, they usually have all or most of the selections out. Donuts that I recommend: Chocolate Vanilla Cream, Chocolate Cream, Boston Cream, Strawberry Frosted, Marble Frosted, Red Velvet. read more

Quality donuts but most importantly, i LOVE their ice cream! However, the staff there is always helpful and always efficient and polite. Great location that easy to get to (but can be confusing for someone new). Close to 169, but not super visible. Wide variety of donuts. I've had some amazing fresh donuts, but I've also had some stale ones. Wide variety of flavoring going from maple frosted donuts, to double chocolate, strawberry frosting, blueberry cake donuts, and apple filled donuts. They also have a variety of ice cream that's not boring either. Being a chocolate lover, i LOVE me some Michigan pot hole. My boyfriend loved the raspberry cheesecake with cheesecake ice cream, not just chunks of cheesecake. We got often for ice cream and/or donuts. It's not the best ever, but is a solid option and super close to home for us. read more

Get here early and you get the freshest donuts! I love the cherry and blueberry donuts but the kiddos gotta have their chocolate sprinkles donuts I never had any bad experiences here, customer service was always nice! The place is clean. They have coffee and bagels here too and ice cream. They also do birthday cakes but i haven't tried it yet. I did get an ice cream cake and... it's just an ice cream cake. But I definitely recommend this place for your donut craze! read more

Not sure if this donut shop is under new ownership but the last two times we've gotten donuts from here they have been terrible. Not sure if the oil is bad but they have a pretty nasty grease taste to them. I really wasn't satisfied so I don't think I'll be back. read more

We finally had a chance to try a this donut shop. We tried 6 donuts, here at photos of 2 of our favorites of those 6. I cant wait to go back there for more! read more

This place used to be very good and a regular Friday morning treat for years. Recent visits last week and a couple of months ago, the donuts tasted terrible, greasy and weird flavor, a big disappointment. Similar to other reviews, I wonder if owners, recipes, etc changed as the customer service and donut quality has declined dramatically. read more

Closest chain to a dunkin' donuts if you like that style. It's half donuts half ice cream shop tucked in a small strip mall off a small road near my house. Stumbled upon it one day two years ago when my husband stopped by Fantastic Sam's for a haircut. Don't expect fancy gourmet donuts like some of the newer more hip shops but you get a good donut and variety for the price. Check in through Yelp! and get 10% off a dozen. Favorites are the French crullers and apple cinnamon filled donuts. 7.99 for a dozen is decent priced and the size and taste of the donut is pretty good. They cater and offer coffee drinks as well. We have tried the ice cream as well and my son loves the mint chocolate chip and cookies and cream flavors. Not gourmet or unique but good ice cream and kids really don't care for fancy things just good tasting flavors! read more

A very happy first time customer! Great service and donuts, was not disappointed at all. Got discounts for being a first time customer and free a donut hole glaze for my little girl. A very sweet kind lady help us decide and took our order. We felt bad that we didn't get the chance to ask or look at her name tag for reference. All we knew is she made us feel super welcome and a happy customer walking out the door. Nonetheless the donuts are out of this world good! Very flavorful and moist plus nothing can beat the price for these delicious donuts. Hands my wife and I favorite donut shop thanks to the lady that helped us out and made us feel welcomed! read more

I don't eat donuts anywhere else. The cashiers are always lovely, kind, and smiley. That's all I need. I walk up to the door and feel like a child again. I love this place, good prices, delicious donuts. read more

Really good, fresh donuts- much better than grocery store donuts. Good, but not out of this world variety. We went at 9:30 on a Sunday morning and just barely beat the rush. Service was friendly and helpful. Prices are really reasonable. read more

I expected this to be more of a mom & pop donut shop. Instead I walked into a corporate chain layout with enough bright colors to make a Pokemon blush. LED TV's to display the menu? Seriously? The donuts were ok - reminiscent of Mr Donut or Dunkin Donuts. The staff were quick and friendly. They also serve ice cream here. However, I grabbed my donuts and ran for the door before the colors overloaded my optic nerves. read more

I really enjoyed coming here. It has been awhile but still worth a treat. Whether I get a shake, doughnut, or even just plain ice cream. It definitely seems like a local neighborhood establishment where the locals and employees are not only friendly, but glad that you were there. Of course it seems that the ice cream and doughnouts have a freshness to them, that is only found in a few places. This place is really worth a stop even when I am not in a hurry. read more

The donuts here are amazing! I had a red velvet donut with white glaze frosting on top...light crisp outside with a nice, soft, dense, cakey, red, velvety inside. Maybe not the best donut I have ever had, but definitely top 3. I eagerly await my next meeting with big red, I will devour you and more than likely 11 of your closest friends. read more

KaleidoScoops is okay... This review is primarily for the KALEIDOSCOOPS ICE CREAM half of this business. This is my third attempt to find a good ice-creamy-type of place in the NW burbs. We already tried Cherry Berry and Cold Stone Creamery. In my humble opinion, this is the best of the three we've tried so far. It isn't worth a special trip, but I recommend it if you're driving by on Highway 169. It reminds me a lot of some of the shops in California that combine an ice cream shop with some other sort of food--like hoagies. The design is a little too corporate and slick for my taste. But the ice cream is good. As a side note, can any of the these places hire at least one mature adult to work with the public, especially during the busy season--like it is NOW?! I'm getting a little tired of being served by pimple faced kids, with no one else around, that seem super bored and that are pretty unprofessional. There should be at least one person around who's over the age of 30 to keep a lid on things. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

Ihave been to CAFE DONUTS three times and still have not been able to buy a donut. First time I arrived Iplanned to use my GROUPON only they were out of donuts. The second time I pre-ordered 2 dozen donuts 2 days before Fathers Day.I arrived as scheduled to the store in Maple Grove to pick up my order. Guess what? THEY didn't have my donuts, nor any donuts in the store. I was told I could travel to the Champlin store to get donuts, but they couldn't guarantee they had what I pre- ordered. Itook my refund and went to my fathers house empty handed. I cannot believe how poor and indifferent this company is to customer service. GO ELSEWHERE!!!!!! read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. Bought a Groupon before the COVID quarantine. I had heard so many good things about Cafe Donuts, so thought what better way to give them a try. Unfortunately my Groupon expired during the quarantine and they were closed. When businesses started to reopen, I called TWO times to ask if Groupon would be honored. I NEVER received a manager call back. Went in person this morning and was told all they could do was give me 10% off. That would mean I would be paying TWICE. For a small business trying to recoup after the shut down-not good customer service. I will NEVER go there again. read more

Great selection, very tasty treats. Staff was friendly and helpful, even in the early hours.

We got there about an hour before they close, so I really didn't expect much. I like the environment, and of course with free wifi! The donuts are ok, not exactly fresh fresh, but I can tell they made it earlier of that day! Not that sweet, and price is decent! I like the chocolate glaze and Boston cream! They also have quite a few selection of ice cream! We tried the "golden vanilla road thing" and "butter pecan"! They are okay, not the best homemade ice cream I have tasted! But most importantly, they are running a promotion for 99 cents per scoop! It's a pretty awesome deal, so why not give a shot, right?! Price: $ Food: *** Environment: *** (bright light with free wifi, I think it would be a great place to spend the afternoon!) Service: **** Overall: *** read more

Outstanding!!! I pick up donuts for the office almost every Wednesday and I am never disappointed. The pastries are delicious and to make a good thing even better the staff is friendly and always put a smile on my face. Thank you for making my day Cafe Donuts!!! read more

Fresh donuts. Every small town in America needs one of these shops to satisfy your guilty pleasures when you are trying to eat such a healthy diet all of the time. And this one combines two of those guilty pleasures into one - donuts and ice cream. The donuts are always fresh tasting and the staff is friendly. I have been waiting for one of these to open. I used to have to go to Anoka to get donuts (sorry Cub) but that shop was on the verge of closing for a long time and finally someone put the old smoke filled unpainted dingy place out of its misery. I took my grandson into get a donut with chocolate covered frosting and colored sprinkles on it. He ate the frosting and that was good enough for him. The rest of it was a waste of calories. If you are on your way up to the cabin on 169, stop by. It is not a Tobie's, but it is clean, fresh and good tasting. read more

This is our go to place for donuts when we have a craving, especially the red velvets! Maybe I should keep that a secret because once you've had a taste you'll want more ;-) They have great iced coffees and try their cotton candy ice cream! Its not overly sweet and tastes like a great summer treat! read more

I love this place! Love to get their ice cream and donuts. I have tried coffee and croissant sandwiches - great too.

The donuts are amazingly always fresh even when I have gotten them late in the day. I shop at the downtown location in the Skyway. The donut holes are also delish - go for the chocolate donut holes! read more

Champlain location: The sign on the door reads 'OPEN EVERYDAY!' - this is a lie. When it was on Highway 65, it was indeed open EVERY day, including holidays, but apparently after they moved to Champlain, they decided to keep the tag line but be closed on holidays, or random Sundays, or pretty much every time we make it up to Champlain specifically to go there. There'll be a printed out sign on the door reading 'Closed' right above the sign painted on the door that says 'Open Everyday!' Either fix your sign or fix your hours, Cafe Donuts. Until you do, I'm done wasting gas money on you. I'd rather drive an hour and a half down to Rochester and hit Dunks because at least they're open when they say they are. read more

Best donut shop in town. It used to be a Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins, but when DD went out of business in Minnesota it became this place. Expect high quality pastry at Cafe Donuts. I've never had a cruller quite like here. The buttermilk and filled donuts are also fantastic. Not that dried out chain garbage with flavored goo in the middle. Donuts made with care instead of on an assembly line. Watch for specials after 2pm. The coffee is okay and I have not tried the ice creams. read more

I'm not a big fan of donuts, but when I do have a hankering for a delicious donut or donut hole, this is my new go-to place. This place reminds me a lot of dunkin' donuts, and every time I've been here the donuts have been fresh. Their prices are fair and I love their specials (like the coffee and donut special). I really want to make it over here in the afternoon to try some of their ice cream. read more

Love this place. Happy to see them in the skyway now too. Great variety and prices and they have my favorite, vanilla creme :)

Loved your donuts. How about a Roseville location? There is space in HarMar Mall or nearby!

If you asked me a week ago - I would definitely give five stars. Today it was a disappointment. They don't sell 18 donuts any more. And the price for a dozen is the same as it was for 18 just 2 weeks ago. We are really unhappy with that..... read more

We love the ice cream here, lots of great flavors and free sample if you see one you're not sure you've tried before. Coffee is great, and the donuts are divine. It reminds me of Dunkin Donuts, simple yet great donuts. It's our go-to place when we need a box of donuts. read more
