    Oreo ice cream donut!
    Abby P.

    What an amazing treat to get at the Harley Davidson anniversary festival this year! The Oreo was my favorite of the two, but both had great flavor and were made super quickly! Highly recommend trying this out at their shop if you're ever in need of a sweet treat.

    Fresh, fast and delicious ... What's not to like? While their hours are limited, Donut Squad is a must-visit for lovers of sweet treats.

    My family and I were stopping somewhere nearby for lunch and I noticed that Donut Squad was open. Usually they're closed when I'm in the area for a evening/night movie at the Original Theater, so we took the chance to stop and pickup a few donuts. We got a toffee piece topped donut, a chocolate glazed with marshmallows, and a s'mores donut. All of us thought the dough of the donut tasted good. There were a lot of toffee pieces on that donut, but the sweetness of the frosting made it hard, at times, to taste the toffee pieces. There were only three small marshmallows on that donut, so nothing markedly special, and the graham cracker cereal pieces on the s'mores donut were a little soggy for some reason. The inside is tiny. No seating available and only one 4' display case of donuts to choose from. The prices aren't awful, but considering the donuts were just ok, it's more than we'd want to pay again. All in all, we've had better donuts elsewhere and I won't be sad seeing they're not open the next time I'm around for an evening/night movie.

    Fresh Homemade and delicious donuts. Shout Out to Betty for her loving hospitality and love she showed us while visiting Milwaukee. We were walking down the street and noticed a donut sign. I'm so happy we stopped and support this local business. The prices were inexpensive, and the donuts were tasty. My favorite was the M&M Slim Shady & The Butter Finger donut. I like the unique names of each displayed donuts behind the counter. If your ever in Milwaukee, please stop in and say Hi to Ms. Betty and of course buy a donut or two. You won't be disappointed neither will your taste buds.

    There's not a lot of donut places in Milwaukee. Lakeside bakery used to be my go to but they've since closed. It's a small shop and I had a nice older lady help check me out. They have a lot of fun donut types. Overall not a bad donut to get your donut fix but not my favorite of all time.

    Best Donuts in Milwaukee! Convenient location downtown right across from Ian's Pizza/Mad Chicken. Very small hole in the wall business but nothing compares to the flavors and designs of Squad's donuts! A group of 5 of us came to Squad's earlier today and got a dozen donuts, plus 3 more on the house because the nice lady running the shop enjoy our group so much! My favorite is the Fruity Pebble one! I will have to come by again, and I am certainly recommending this spot to my friends and all donut lovers!! I also super appreciate the lady who took our order today! She was very kind and certainly just as sweet as her treats!

    Donut Squad! I was roped in by the FB posts showing a glass case filled with what looked to be delectable donuts. What I got was a half dozen donuts that were glazed in sugar, cereal and candy. If this is what you want then eh, go for it. I personally expected a bit more flair and styles of donuts that weren't just the "glazed" donut type. Donut Squad isn't bad just not quite my cup of tea if I'm going to eat some sugary snacks! Also, the Eastside location isn't the cleanest looking. Again, FB showed this pristine display behind squeaky clean glass. Far from that, the glass case appeared smudged and it just felt not so appealing a place to walk into. With so many true donut shop options out there, I'll take a pass on the Squad next time and go elsewhere.

    Experience: It was definitely a struggle trying to visit this place. When you do make a visit, please ensure the hours are correct before going. We made a mistake of looking at the wrong hours and came when it attempted to enter, to our surprise, it was completely closed. Parking: It appears to be all street parking. No parking lot from what I seen. Since I got here on a Sunday, parking was free. Overall, it seemed to be moderately difficult to find a spot, but not impossible. Worth: If you are in the area, give it a try! The donuts were honestly okay. Great potential with the flavors, but I had better. I believe my favorite donut from here would be the strawberry shortcake cake (As pictured below). The neighborhood itself is awesome. East Side is definitely my favorite neighborhood in Milwaukee. It just seems to be so lively!

    Finally made it here. Place is super tiny but packed with flavor. Prices are extremely reasonable for the size and quality of the donuts.

    Oreo Cake donut
    Rick R.

    Had my first visit earlier this week. I expected more selection. I opted for the Boston Cream yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting, Nutella was the other frosting option, and the Oreo Cookie cake doughnut. Both were too dense and the Oreo was a bit too dry. Neither tasted like they were made that day. Other notable options included Fruity Pebbles and Captain Crunch doughnuts. Cool ideas for doughnuts, but they miss the mark on texture. Not bad, but I don't think I'll go back unless they figure out how to make their doughnuts less dense and fresher tasting.

    Yummy and pretty donuts! I picked up a dozen donuts for a Galentine's day brunch, and these were a hit with my friends! I loved that they had so many special donuts for the holiday too (see pic).

    three different types of donuts and a cup of coffee

    Came in for a weekend sugar treat and it was a success. Fun selections that are relatively fresh. Definitely a repeat type establishment that is worth a shot, just try to come early because quantity is limited.

    PB&J and captain crunch
    Kristen K.

    Nice clean place. Nice guys working there. Nothing too original about the donuts, and they are pretty standard, but with creative elements. The peanut butter and jelly donut tastes like a real pb&j sandwich! Definitely recommend that one. Also had the captain crunch- the donut itself was plain and the cereal was still crispy which was nice, but it was nothing out of this world. Still a nice addition to North Ave, and it will be great when they are open late nights!

    Not worth the calories. Mostly raised donuts that taste like they came out of a sysco truck.

We ordered a 12 pack of doughnut and were able to pick 4 flavors. The s'mores ones were amazing! We also really liked the puppy chow. While ordering, one niece picked out Bart's birthday cake and I said something to her like oh you picked those because we are celebrating your birthday. I didn't think much of it but after our doughnuts were delivered, staff asked her if she wanted powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar doughnuts to go for her birthday. She loved getting to leave with an extra treat. We had fun playing pinball while we waited and one of my nieces commented on how she really liked the vibe of the place. They both said the mini doughnut place was a highlight of their weekend with me.

The selection of donuts looked delicious so I placed an order for a six-pack of donuts. Got to pick out three different flavors. Wait time was a ridiculous but i gave them a break due to the high traffic from the event going on outside. When I finally got my order I had to laugh. These donuts were the size of donut holes. One bite donuts? No exaggeration, I paid a premium price for full size donuts and I all I got were bite size dough balls. I was mad as a Danzig at a Bulletboys concert. Don't waste your time with this place. Happy Dough Lucky is just happy to take your dough. No luck involved.

My husband tried the crawlers and he quickly became a fan. On my second visit, I placed an order online in advance, and also called to confirm my order but when I got there they didn't have my order, and they didn't know about me order either. Fortunately I was there early so they could fulfill the order very quickly. Overall, the service is OK. The store is clean and organized.

    I think it's definitely worth a try - just don't set the expectation bar too high after looking at…read morethe pretty pictures on social media. They are indeed big, thick donuts like pictured. The fluffy & slightly chewy and doughy texture gives me a weird satisfying feeling. However, I just feel the flavors are a bit off - it's like there's just a layer of sweet glaze on the outside. The blue/green glaze in the donuts in my order is also very runny and watery. And based on my experiences, the donuts must be finished like within a day (best to try immediately) - otherwise the glaze is off the donut. Will be happy to return and try more to support the vegan donut idea!

The sugar boxes are really easy to preorder through their website and pickup is pretty painless, even if its a busier one the line usually moves quickly. They have inventive and unique flavors. Some of my favorite have included the marzipan, the cinnamon roll, lavender, and the PB&J. The flavors change and often there are seasonally appropriate and adorable decorations as well. The dough of the donuts themselves have a great flavor. And they are quite hearty and filling too! We normally get the different flavors and cut them into equal pieces to share, because its the best way to try everything! I can't wait to see what else they come up with, and am so glad to see them popping up in so many different places! Try them them as soon as you can!
