humble donuts? more like pretentious donuts. I had an overall awful experience with their customer service. the man running the company was sarcastic and something as I can only describe as white rich man funny. They open at ten, but the hours weren't posted clearly and the interaction with the guy behind the counter was awful. I would never run my business in this fashion. Also what bakery place doesn't open until 10? Not a good business model in the slightest. Lots of things we could improve on humble. I'm insanely disappointed read more

Super bummed out about this place. We wanted donuts not from a gas station, so we checked this place out on our way out of town for the day. Super loud door chime when we came in, but literally no one was there. This place also housed a yogurt business, orange leaf. All of the yogurt fixings were clean and prepped and ready but looking at the donut fixings, it was messy and empty. We called out "hello" loudly and several times, but no answer. We could hear people talking in the back though. There was a space heater on behind the counter and someone's purse sitting on the back counter, so I know at least someone was there. We knocked on the counter and still nothing. So we left. No donuts for us! read more

the man behind the counter was nothing but rude, we also had to wait 30+ minutes AFTER ordering for our donuts. Would NOT recommend to other families looking for a fun breakfast place. read more

Divine donuts !! Been here several times and can't get enough of those cuteeee donuts. Unlike traditional ones, these are perfect for a single serving. I love how they can be customized however we want. My favorites are strawberry n cream, cookies & coffee, s'mores and chocolate iced. They simply melt in the mouth and I keep going back to this place like a faithful puppy :-D For those who feel this place is pricey, I'd suggest to use their coupons either here on Yelp or on the website. I've gotten 25% off my order at least twice so far. read more

Good I loved the place I had was there after a bad experience at Dunkin donuts, which was horrible and there were close the day before. Both times coming to this place was excellent. read more

Really tiny donuts that are soooo good! For those of you who would get bored eating one big donut (or two big donuts), try the 6 pack where you can pick and choose different toppings and flavors on each. You might find a few of your favorites among the more than 20 menu options available. Among my favorites were the Maple Bacon and Cookies n Cream. read more

This place just opened up in July and is based inside the orange leaf of Lincoln way. I met Gretchen inside and she went out of her way to make our experience worth it! We ended up getting a buy 1 get 1 free deal on their donuts plus an additional 4 donuts thanks to Gretchen : ). There was a variety of flavors to choose from and you weren't restricted at all on choosing multiple flavors per box of donuts. Overall the donuts were very good, especially the berries and cream donuts! The donuts were very fresh and light. Definitely reccomend this place. read more

Humble Donuts - Toppings bar - Donuts Near Me - Ames, Iowa

Sharing a space with the Ames Orange Leaf (in which Orange Leaf has done a huge remodeling to fit the Sweet Mini's Donut Company into the business!), Ames now has a gourmet, made-on-order mini donuts company. When you come into the Orange Leaf/Sweet Mini Donut Company combo, you can head straight over the froyo machines and get your frozen yogurt fix, or you can march right up to the donut counter and put in your donut order. Pick whichever business you'd like when you walk in. PROS: -Donuts are warm and made-to-order. There aren't donuts just sitting around. When you place your order, they go straight to the mini donut machine and make them for you. From the machine, they go straight to the toppings bar and hand-dip and hand-top each individual donut. And then each individual donut is placed into a correspondingly-sized box to how many you ordered. -The donuts are SO good when warm. It's just like the mini donuts you used to fall in love with at the fair - only with the toppings that you love about gourmet and full-sized donuts. The topping amounts are basically perfect. In the past, when I've had made-to-order warm donuts, if employee goes overboard with frosting or toppings, it's a messy eating experience or you get super sticky. That isn't the case here. Each individual donut is hand-dipped, upside down, into the frosting or glaze to make it "safe" to grip around the base of the donut. And even when warm, the donuts don't "collaspe" on themselves when picked up. Every bite of these donuts are delicious. -The mini donuts are still pretty decent when chilled and having sat around. Part of the appeal of these donuts is definitely the "fresh-baked" aspect, though, so if you can help it, try to eat these little guys when they're still warm. -The standard glaze, the M&Ms one, and the Oreo ones were my favorite. I was meh on their take of the Boston Creme donut. -Lots of laminated menus to look at. I haven't seen this place with a line yet, but hopefully, in peak times, having individual menus to look at while standing in line will reduce a lot of the indecision during ordering. -Pretty nice space. The location still looks noticeably "Orange Leaf" with some of the decor, but the remodel does make the company's shared space look a little less "orange" now. The chairs are regular chair and tables (instead of the old, whimsical ones), and there's a sole couch left. There's also bar stool seating along the windows. All of the seating is shared between Orange Leaf and Sweet Mini's Donut Company. -Sweet Mini's Donut Company also offers catering. You can also phone in your order to have your donuts available and ready when you get there. I just recommend planning correctly to make sure the donuts are still warm and delicious when you make it there. CONS: -The mini donuts are noticeably more expensive than their standard-sized counterparts. Getting 15 mini donuts here is about $11. Getting 12 regular-sized donuts at a gas station is about $8. So, in terms of "actual food you're receiving", you're getting a lot less with these mini guys. What you're paying for, at Sweet Mini's Donut Company, is to have warm, just-out-of-the-fryer donuts made exactly how you'd like. And honestly, that "warm, gourmet taste" is totally worth the extra cost most of the time. -It does take a bit to get your donuts after you order them. After all, it's "Made to Order". Expect about a 5 to 10 minute wait during dead times to receive your donuts. In a rush? You can call your order in ahead of time and just pick it up. read more

I'm from out of town... was hoping to get a bunch of donuts for a dance team that was performing at Stephens Auditorium for the weekend... showed up at 9:15 am to find the doors locked and the store was empty! No signs on the door saying the business has closed. read more

Great little donuts to snack on and share with friends. Easy and quick! Maple frosted is a favorite, but can't go wrong with any of the options! read more

These are actually pretty good. They are a bit pricey and probably best eaten fresh. Clean. Friendly staff. Family friendly. Lot parking. There's a great variety of donuts you can get as well. Marcy'sDinerTantrumScale 5/5- NoScreamingKids. read more

If you want adorable and delicious mini donuts this is the place. I've seen a lot of complaints about how you don't know the size before you buy. But, they do not seem to hide that they're mini donuts. read more

I have been to Orange Leaf many times because I love their frozen yogurt but it's only recently that I tried the mini donuts from Sweet's. The concept is pretty cool, having a whole batch of miniature donuts which can be ordered ahead and customized (or done right there in the store). The donuts are fresh and tasty. The donuts are a bit over priced for what you get. You get customized miniature donuts, which is nice, but you don't a ton of product for what you pay for them. It costs $11 for 15 mini-donuts, whereas you can get a dozen regular sized donuts elsewhere for about the same cost. In addition, Sweet's makes some decent coffee drinks and ice cream creations. They do a "Donut Sundae" which is basically vanilla ice cream and three donuts. They have a few basic shakes and malts (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate) which comes with a mini-donut. The coffee drinks are your basic latte (hot or cold), americano, espresso, etc. Overall, it's a nice concept, but I can take it or leave it. read more

Love humble donuts! Having donuts made fresh right in front of you and being able to pick what kind you want he'll yes!!! Would definitely recommend 100%!!! Pulse buy one get one!!! read more

I fell in love with these donuts last weekend. They are totally different from what I would expect from mini donuts. Unlike most cake donuts, they are fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They make them very fresh. There are all kinds of combos of frosting plus the types of toppings you get for frozen yogurt. My favorite so far was the vanilla frosted with whipped cream and raspberries. The frozen yogurt in the store is good too. read more

I drove all the way to Ames, from 1.5 hrs away, to see a friend and my first stop wasnt the gas station. Lol. It was to get some Mini Donuts! I love that they have so many flavors and everything is made fresh. They take the donuts out of the fryer right in front of you. Also, as a nurse and a germaphobe it's a very clean establishment. The employees are all as sweet as the treats themselves! read more

Super yummy mini donuts!! So many different and fun toppings choices too!! We happened to stop in on National Donut Day and they were giving away 3 free donuts per person! That was just an extra added bonus. The donuts were warm and soft and delish! The girls working were kind as well, especially as they had clearly been busy all day! Go! Try them out! read more
