    Donuts
    Stephanie C.

    These little mini donuts are delicious! DC donuts is a food stall at the Eastern DC market and the donuts did not disappoint. They come out in batches from a machine and you can get them in different counts. I thought 36 mini donuts would be too much for us but they disappeared in 2 days. The donuts come plain and you get to add self-serve toppings at the stall. Options included nutella, strawberry glaze, condensed milk, shredded coconut, sprinkles and more!

    These mini donuts are not just great, they might be the best donuts I have ever had. They make them fresh when you order, and they have a toppings bar where you can glaze them with maple, strawberry, chocolate, sweet condensed milk, and you can add all kinds of crunchy bits. The people frying the dough are kind and generous. They greet you with a smile and give you more than you ask for.

    Amazing mini donuts, we stopped by their pop up for the holiday market in DC by the Capital one arena. We definitely would have been satisfied by plain donuts, until realizing there was a wide variety of topping options! We will absolutely look for them again.

    Donuts were $6 for 8 and you can drizzle/drown them in your choice of sauces, powdered sugar, and other toppings. Delicious!

    If you're looking for donuts that actually taste like donuts and not like a mouth-full of sugar, come to DC-Donuts! I love how they're bite-sized and you can customize the donuts with different sauces/glazes and toppings on the side. I ended up going with Lemon glaze and Cinnamon/Sugar mix topping. I didn't look at all of the glazes since there were around 12 to choose from, but others I saw were Marshmallow, Strawberry, and Chocolate glazes Since they're made fresh to order, you may have to wait a couple more mins -- but it's worth it! The business owners were friendly too! If you can't find the tent once you reach Eastern Market-- keep walking and look for a yellow tent :) Enjoy!!

    So yum! I've only ever had them at Eastern Market and I look forward to treating myself to their delicious, soft, fluffy, fresh mini donuts regularly!!! They have somewhat weird serving sizes- I believe you can get 8, 18, or 32 and I wish I could get like an in between of 12 for myself. They have soooo many topics from sweet and condensed milk and nutella to toasted coconut, sprinkles, and powdered sugar. And it's sooo yummy! they're fast and friendly, too. Love them!

    We got donuts at DC Donuts one afternoon through Too Good To Go and all I can say is "Wow". It was a bit hard to find the tent at first because we thought we were looking for a restaurant, but we eventually found the brightly colored tent. We got a ton of donuts and a chai latte which was tasty. All of the donuts were perfectly fluffy, and we got to put a bunch of different toppings on them including nuts, fruit glazes, chocolate sauce, etc. This majorly itched our sweet cravings, would highly encourage anybody to stop by if they're near one of the tents.

    I've heard about this place and pass by it numerous times on our walks through Eastern Market and we had to stop this time to try it! The line was long and we ordered the mini donuts (8 pieces=$5)! They are very fresh and come out with no toppings. What's neat is that the stand has a variety of toppings you can choose from and put on yourselves. We chose to say basic and put on powdered sugar only! They were ok, tasted like pancakes or my gf said a funnel cake. Overall glad we tried it and I recommend the stand!

    Had a donut craving this afternoon and just picked up. These are so fresh and delicious. They are a bit on the doughy-side, which is a plus for me. And the folks running the shop are so friendly. This might become a weekend go-to.

    Apparently DC-Donuts is the DC operation for Migue's Magnificent Mini's which is based out of Baltimore, MD. I didn't realize the two were the same until recently. I've tried their donuts when they were at Easter Market in DC and at the National Harbor in Oxon Hill, MD. My most recent experience was on F Street at the Pop of Spring street festival on F Street in NW DC. These donuts taste just like funnel cake. In fact the batter is the same. Imagine a funnel cake in the form of a mini donut. You can choose from many toppings including powdered and cinnamon sugar, chocolate drizzle, etc.. You add the toppings to the donuts yourself at the topping station. The donuts come out fresh and hot. If you're buying for yourself get the small box which I believe comes with 18 donuts. Trust me, it will be enough. It is hard to give a place that sells nothing but donuts and is consistent anything less than 5*. Overall a very good experience which I recommend.

    Omg a communist donut!

    DONUT COME HERE! Just kidding, you actually should. Because while we're not talking about the same league or plane of existence as the best of NYC (Dough, Doughnut Plant, Dun-Well) or Toronto for that matter, they are hot and chewy and really good. What to get: Apple Flavor hot donut What else: It's just north of the Eastern Market, in the loveliest part of Capitol Hill The servers here were absolute sweethearts. They were closed for the day but had a bunch of "slightly defective" donuts that were still warm and gave them to me with a smile. I was very grateful since I was trying a lot of things on my list and running behind schedule. I've been back twice and tried them fresh and they are definitely better fresh. Don't save them for later, at least not until you've had some. The Apple one is really good, I don't like the Red Velvet one though and it's a bit sweet for me. I think all of you that like Red Velvet in general, though, will love it. They are tiny and bite-size too, which I appreciate since I try lots of foods at a time. People will say, and have said, these are the best donuts in the DMV. I am not sure I can disagree. The problem is that is not saying much (sorry DMV) (hugs DMV). Anyway, I need to put my AC current back to DC and get on with another review. Donut forget about me. Ciao.

    This food stand's unapologetically bragtastic name made me raise an eyebrow, but then their delicious donuts made me raise the roof! I tried them for the first time today at the Fenton Street Market (Saturdays), and even on this hellishly hot day, those plump little rings of tastiness hit the spot. And they're mini! Mini practically means healthy, right? Migue's bakes up their fresh, warm mini donuts nonstop under a tent at various area markets. For just $3, they stuffed a small bag with way more than I expected - maybe 7? You can then dress up your plain donuts with your choice of toppings, from chocolate sauce to cinnamon-sugar to sprinkles, at no extra cost. They also sell fresh lemonade ($3, they squeeze the lemons to order) and blended coffee drinks. These donuts were fluffy, warm, and just gently sweet enough that they're a treat even without any toppings (though I recommend the cinnamon-sugar). They're not too filling and not cloyingly sweet, a perfect little snack for walking around the market. I'd have a tough time passing these by again now that I've tried them once.

    Dude, Migue, you need to raise your prices! $2 for 7 delicious mini donuts, and $4 for a large (14ish miniDs) is not enough of a deterrent for me and my potentially expanding waistline! Also, if you're a real donut lover, they will sell you a box of 40... Look at these little devils! (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/6johS-EZa1gx2W0uWpy3Tg?select=Eflbu3yC_DxYsQfrvoUCpw) And you get to custom top them! White chocolate syrup, chocolate syrup, cinnamon, rainbow sprinkles and powdered sugar. I just got the powdered sugar and cinnamon because I'm a purist and I already felt guilty enough. Also, super disappointed that he ran out of the apple donuts early! Between watching the doughnut machine churn out perfect little rings, to the wide array of toppings, and making anything mini...I just got catapulted back to childhood. Grab fair trade, organic Zeke's coffee for a couple bucks to accompany your fried fare. Last, but not least, it's nice to see a smiling vendor at the end of a harried weekend day at the market. Good customer service, even though he was busy churning out little bags of fried goodness to the masses. LOCATION Eastern Market, north side on North Carolina near the aquatic center. They are here Sat/Sun, weather permitting. 4.5 stars

They were serving an assortment of vegan and meat dumplings. Being the carnivore that I am, I got their two meat options: chicken and asparagus and beef. Both came with a dumpling dipping sauce and an Asian slaw ($1 extra). While fried dumplings are always infinitely 100% better, I chose to get the steamed option in an attempt to be healthy. My freshly steamed hot dumplings were ready in less than five minutes and I excitedly split it with my husband. The quality in their product is evident: they hand roll their dough, grind their filling using local and organic ingredients, and pinch their dumplings daily. When eaten with their vinegary Asian slaw on top, it is a delicious combination. $19 for two orders is a bit pricey but to find quality, delicious dumplings it is worth the price!
