I'm still a big fan of this place. I took my nieces here on a Friday night, a few couples were there but it wasn't overly crowded. 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. read more

Found Happy Dough Lucky while walking around during the Bay View Bash. Popped in to see what it was all about. 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. read more

This small storefront is a hidden gem. The inside is very retro with arcade games and decor reminiscent of the 80s and 90s. The donut options are a bit overwhelming if you're not a regular donut eater, so I went for a variety of donut holes: cinnamon sugar and lemon. Freshly made and delicious. Service was friendly and quick. Definitely worth a stop! read more

A nice place to grab a sweet treat after dinner. Oh- and they do have a bar if you'd like a quick drink! (And pizza, too). The tiny doughnuts are delish and made with love. And what an eclectic and fun space. Service friendly and fast! read more

So we have been trying to get to this place for a couple days but our schedule didn't allow us to make it when they were open. So, of course this morning I said I wanted to go here today. Like---it was a PRIORITY! LOL! Well, after dinner we walked a couple doors down to this place and when I walked in it took me in a time warp back to the late 1900s! It had everything "retro" from pinball machines that actually work, to legos and etch-a-sketches. It was a really cool vibe and it appears that all the machines work. The funniest part was The Price is Right was on the vintage tv and my fiancee said, "Bob Barker with hair". I said..."Bob Barker?? The old guy from Happy Gilmore??" Apparently he hosted TPIR before Drew Carey. It was cool to see the prizes from back in the 1900s and the price for them all. Definitely a lot cheaper back then. Now for the food! There is a shelf where you can order different flavors, a 6 pack with two flavors was perfect for us! We got the dirt n worms and raspberry lemon. They were making them in the back and while we waited Alyssa played pinball. There was a lady working the register and she was so friendly (I assume she's the owner because her son's paintings were on the wall). She even offered us 6 cinnamon/sugar donuts on the house as we waited. It only took about 5 minutes and our dessert was ready to eat. We sat at the counter and I took a fork and stuck it in the raspberry lemon mini-donut--it had NO chance! It was gone faster than my dog runs to a cheese wrapper! Then I tried the dirt and worms and that was it! I was hooked! I polished off the last dirt n worms and Alyssa had the last raspberry lemon one. Thank goodness these were mini donuts or I would be in serious sugar shock! The raspberry lemon was sweet but more of a fruity flavor. The dirt n worms had Oreo's and of course a gummy worm on top. These were all on cake donuts and were well worth the wait! I wouldn't get more than a 6 pack unless you have friends, are 7 feet tall or plan on being sick afterward from all the sugar though. These are great after a meal and I know we will be back soon! They also gave us a couple of stickers for free too, because who doesn't love stickers?! read more

Amazing vibe and excellent donuts! Our family had a wonderful time trying all the little donuts with unique flavors!

This place is awesome! We did not even expect to wind up there, but we were really early in the morning and we had just gotten done with our twin toddlers' swim class at the Bayview high school. We are trying to figure out what else we might want to do, and because it was so early in the morning, there are only a handful of places that are open and this was one of them! We got there JUST as they were unlocking and turning their "OPEN" sign on. When you walk in you're like "WOW" the retro and colorful vibe is SO cool and was super appealing to not just my toddlers, but to my gaming husband and my retro 80s funky spirit! We decided to get one of their giant mongo packs which is a mix of classic and the signature loaded donuts! We got Bart's birthday cake, nutter butter, chocolate peanut butter cup and blueberry cheesecake! The classics of sugar and cinnamon and sugar were light, fluffy and just the right amount of sweet with the fresh mini donut. My husband loved the Bart's birthday cake and I loved the decadent chocolate peanut butter cup. The owner was so nice and explained it would take just a little bit and they'll be coming out hot and fresh. She invited us to look around and play some games! They have a coin machine and retro classic arcade games and little toy games for children. There is something for everyone here to play and to eat and drink. We didn't try their coffee options, but will grab a cold brew the next time we are there. I would definitely consider using them for a catering of a birthday or event the mini donuts would be such a great idea for a big birthday or party! read more

Great retro ambiance, fun donuts, outstanding and friendly service ! Also has other things to eat and liquor for those inclined.

Cute little retro ambiance. We came by for dessert after Hungry Sumo. They have speciality toppings for the donuts but we opted for the cinnamon sugar. They came out piping hot and delicious! I probably should have opted for the 24 because we ate them right up! Next time we'll bring cash to play the machines in the arcade. read more

If you aren't happy the second you enter the door then walk yourself right back out. The decor is pure nostalgia and I could have happily spent an hour there just playing games and reliving my childhood without ever ordering any food. Their simple donuts are dangerous and i could eat an entire tub of them so it's good they aren't all you can eat. Their gourmet mini donuts are absolutely insane and tasted delicious. But they are SO SUGARY which you should be able to guess that based off what they look like. And you know what? Sometimes that's just what you want and it's perfect. Great stop for a tiny afternoon or late night snack and totally reasonably priced for what you get! read more

Happy Dough Lucky - variety of doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

First time trying happy dough lucky and man it was a blast from the past! They have a ton of arcade games which are fun to play while waiting. It's order at the counter and the staff are very friendly! Definitely more of a grab and go vibe but they have tables to sit at. While the donuts were good, they were very pricey for what you get. I would recommend to try as it is a very fun atmosphere and yummy donut but they are just slightly overpriced. read more

More than a donut shop - they also offer a ton of arcade games to play (mostly pinball). They offer mini donuts in a variety of flavors including the classics of powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar. They also have a ton of options on the sweet and fruity to the sweet and chocolatey side. In addition to donuts, they have coffee and smoothies that you can order. The decor throughout the space is very eclectic and you'll find yourself noticing more little trinkets the longer you stay. read more

They moved to this location from the Mequon Public Market in December. There is a lot more space, which allows more creativity, more decor, space for an arcade, and room to add food options. Soon they will serve pizza and chicken sandwiches, for example. The vibe is great, very colorful and family-friendly! I went with friends today, my favorites were the Monkey Business with peanut butter sauce and slices of fresh banana and the Raspberry Cheesecake! The Fluffy Charms was also great! There are pinball machines, a few classic arcade games, and "claw" machines, plus lots of little toys and action figures and candy for sale. Highly recommend this place! read more

It was opening weekend - I believe the friendly worker said it was a soft opening - and we were there right before close so it was quiet. The worker explained tons of options to us and, while the 'fun' donuts were interesting (lots of flavor combos on top of a mini donut), we went with the plain, more traditional options (plain, cinnamon sugar, and maybe powder sugared?)--and they were SO GOOD. "Less is more" is generally my approach and I did not regret choosing them! I have to admit I often believe everything is too expensive lately--and that's why I gave 4 stars: I thought it was a smidge expensive. However, anyone who serves six mini doughnuts would likely have the same prices. You'll have to decide for yourself :) The decor was cool: generally a mix of legos, the simpsons, and arcade games (like six pinball machines!). The arcade games were legit and they have lots of quarters in exchange for cash. read more

My partner and I had quite the time here back in September. The donuts were delicious! The owner was present and he was so nice and helpful explaining the menu. The service was great. The ambiance is like you've been transported back to the 80/90s! So many arcade/board games and toys that will bring out your inner child. It's also kid friendly. read more

It was 13 degrees and my gut was starting to ice over. Walking down Kinnickinnic, I felt neon light filter through my January-stiffened beard. A promise of heat. "DONUTS & COFFEE" said the neon sign. "Yes & yes" I said. There was also a neon sign of a flying saucer abducting a donut. Hell yeah. I entered. The vibe warmed me well before the coffee and made-to-order mini donuts. Emily, working the register for her brother-owner Andrew, regaled me and had guests chuckling with her friendly, whimsical personality, fitting the all-fun-and-no-shame childlike atmosphere. Solid pinball selection and other arcade games, plus yacht rock/dad rock soundtrack helped kill a couple hours happily and out of the elements before a show. Coming from Chicago, I was immediately reminded of Big Kids in Logan Square. Different fare, same sense of laid-back nostalgia. Donuts were bomb, too. Def get a bag of the regular ones with or without cinnamon and then some of the specialty ones topped with candy, cereal, cremes and so on. A highlight of my MKE visit for sure. read more

Happy Dough Lucky - Classic Mini-Donuts Loaded Mini-Donuts coffee - Donuts Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

A little pricey, but they're made in front of you because of the unique combination of flavors, so definitely fresh! The flavor combos change here and there, and I can't even remember all the different ones I've had. The Girl Scout Samoas were delicious and I would definitely get those again, as well as anything with fruit and/or chocolate. They are sloppy as all get out, but being mini donuts, that's the fun of it right? 36/2023 read more

Happy Dough Lucky - The lemon raspberry donuts and puppy chow donuts!! So. Much. Yum. - Donuts Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I placed an order for 35-40 mini donuts from Happy Dough Lucky on April 26 for my daughter-in-laws baby shower. I paid in advance (my mistake I should have waited). I had my DIL try the donuts and it was not what she was looking for as far as a mini donut. I called right away on April 27 to cancel my order and get my money refunded. They were understanding and told me they would refund me. A month later I have not received my refund. I have called numerous times, left messages, talked to Andrew or another person who again assured me I would get my refund. Nothing. Go there and eat a donut but I would not recommend doing business with Andrew for larger orders. It is poor business when you assure someone a refund but never pay. read more

This place was amazing, very well decorated but more than anything Andrew and his family were super nice. Mini donuts were amazing. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town. Definitely you gotta give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

The donuts here are so delicious! The owner is super nice! Gives you the best service ever! The ambience is so cute!

Stopped in after seeing an Instagram on this place. Was as cute as expected, and the donuts were delicious!! It's such a happy place, it's decorated with the coolest decor. We had the pleasure of having Emily help us and she was so knowledgeable and had great vibes! Loved the Lemon and Raspberry it was my favorite. The cherry pie one was a close second and the Girl Scout Somoa was a chocolate decadent dream. Perfect sized treats, will return many times! Highly recommend for a treat!! read more

The opening of Happy Dough Lucky in Bayview has been a long time coming. We went a few weekends ago with the kids. The inside is really fun! Pinball machines and arcade games are stacked against the back wall - make sure to bring quarters! The donuts are tiny and expensive! We ordered multiple specialty donuts and the classic ones. They were good, but after spending almost $30 on 18 donuts and luke warm coffee, I'm not sure I'll be back. Also of note, not sure if the woman behind the counter was stressed, but maybe try to be a little more friendly? read more

Stopped in for an afternoon treat. How it works: (1) select what topping you want, or go for the classic powdered or cinnamon donuts, (2) watch your doughnuts fry up in the hot oil, (3) pay and take tasty treats with you! It's really fun that the doughnuts are small, which enables more mixing and sharing of the different flavors. Unlike large doughnuts, I didn't need a knife to cut up any doughnuts to make sharing-size tastes. I liked the classic cinnamon best out of our selection. Overall, The doughnuts were hot, moist, and not overly oily. They went great with coffee too! I look forward to another visit to Mequon and trying some more flavors ...and picking up some more classic cinnamon sugar! read more

Cute donut flavors, fun for kids. Unique combos like puppy chow and cereal toppings. Bag of plain cinnamon ones were warm and tasty. We were in the area and treated the family to these. Service isn't fast because the donuts are made and decorated to order by hand. Worth a try. We went to the stand in the Mequon public market but I think this place does events/mobile food cart too. read more

What a happy place that we stumbled on. There were so many varieties of doughnuts if you don't find one you like, it's on you. We love to find locals with a spitfire personality! My daughter's fave was the Cookie Monster, my husband's was the Nutter Butter and mine was the cinnamon. Such a cool pace to hang out. It made the calories I ate totally worth it! read more

Such a friendly, family-owned spot. We had breakfast sandwiches and mini donuts that totally hit the spot before we spent a day in Milwaukee. Highly recommend! read more

The Honeybear dinky donuts are fantastic and I also love the classic cinnamon sugar. The small size allows you to try multiple flavors, which you should. Also absolutely love the 80s/90s pinball and arcade machines, especially Demolition Man. Fun atmosphere and super friendly staff! We will be back soon for more sweets and games. read more

Just plain fun. What a great new and unusual place for the best street in the city for wonderful places to eat.

Wish I could post without any stars. Hired for a catering event. Signed contract, deposit paid as well as final payment day prior to event. They never showed up (did call with reason). Now two months later they have not refunded our money and have become very unresponsive. Think twice about hiring them for a private event. read more

I ordered $100 worth of specialty donuts for my son's college graduation party. The day of the event they were to be delivered between 12 and 1230. I double checked the app to see if they were on their way, and a pop-up came up to state order had been canceled due to technical issues. No dessert was at the party due to this error. First time using them, and probably would not again. Ordered ahead of time. A phone call in advance would have been nice. read more
