    This is our go-to mini donut spot. The people who work here are the sweetest. They always have a great attitude and they give you a donut to munch on while you wait for your order (which my young child loves). They also have a donut machine so you can watch the donuts being fried to order! My son also loves seeing that. They make any sized box in increments of 3 (e.g. 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc.) even though the menu is missing a couple of those sizes. The 9 would be perfect for my family if the kids didn't just eat the tops off and leave the rest (monsters). 12 is if we're feeling up to the challenge. My husband loves the s'mores one, my son changes his mind daily. I like the churro one over the plain cinnamon sugar one, because it has an extra glaze. There's not much else at this plaza so parking is plentiful and there's a good stream of people walking in and out on Sunday mornings (which is usually when we go). I love the brightness of the place and if my kids do want to eat there, we never have any issues getting a spot at the counter. It seems like almost everyone else grabs it to go. They also have coffee, which goes perfectly with the donuts. Future Christina, don't get a flavoring, it was too sweet. Next time I'll just get an iced latte (the time we went, there was oat milk even though it's not on the menu.)

    The donuts were so yummy and worked perfectly for my girlfriend's 30th birthday donut tower I made!

    Friendly? Check. Good tasting? Check. Relatively fast? Check. My first visit to Van Dough won't be my last. While workers prepared my 16 mini donuts, they gave me one to eat. Nice. My family enjoyed these sweet treats at home. I think this place has the right combination of taste and ambiance. I dare anyone to eat just one.

    I love mini donuts and this place is super tasty!!! The staff is super nice and the donuts are yummy! They have alarge variety to choose from, so there is something for everybody. The prices are decent and I will definitely be coming back anytime I'm in the area.

    Reese cup mini donut

    Hot, made to order donuts?! Yes, please! If you're in the area, Van Dough is a MUST. We came in on a Tuesday morning, and there was no line. We ordered a pack of 6 mini donuts for about $6. Since they do make each order, be prepared to wait a little bit...this is no Dunkin Donuts! Each donut we received was hot and fresh. Every flavor we tried was amazing, and their toppings were all just the right amount of sweetness. We easily went through all 6 as soon as we got to the car, and we easily could have gone through 6+ more! My favorites: NY cheesecake and Boston crème pie. But all the flavors I tried were a 5/5. The service was also outstanding, and we were greeted so warmly as soon as we walked in. The sweetest staff ever! I cannot wait to come back and try the rest of their flavors. Don't order anything less than a 6 pack, trust me!! You'll regret it & want more :)

    So good!

    I was excited to come here after reading about the fresh donuts in all kinds of fun flavors. It was worth the beautiful morning drive to get here at 0800 opening on a Saturday morning. I went right at opening thinking the place would be crazy packed, but surprisingly it wasn't during the time I was there. I believe their menu might change a bit with the seasons but don't quote me on that. I just thought I saw/read they had Christmas selections out but don't recall any flavors being particularly for Christmas. Maybe I overlooked it or misunderstood. But either way, so happy with the flavors and quality and friendly service too!!

    Special Father's Day box
    Kimberly D.

    The BEST mini donuts in Tampa Bay! I said what I said!! My friend sent me a box of Van Dough donuts for my birthday. There was an assortment of their menu flavors: birthday cake, Boston creme, churro, Bacon Me Crazy (maple glaze with bacon bits), Smores, and PB crunch. The donuts are dense but not dry. The flavors are delicious and not overly sweet. And since they're all mini, you don't have to feel guilty after you eat a half a box by yourself! Van Dough also orders custom donuts for special celebrations. Follow their social media to see what designs they offer for holidays. For Father's Day, I ordered the special box and my husband was excited for the unique flavors that day. The shop itself is located in the Winn Dixie plaza. There is plenty of parking in the plaza lot. The shop is usually busy in the morning, but the staff brings out orders quickly. There are 25 flavors on the menu, so I suggest browsing the menu before you go to the cashier. Van Dough has a perfect Yelp rating and for good reason: these mini donuts pack BIG flavor! Get yourself some today!

    Variety 6 Pack
    Vickie R.

    One of our traditions when we go on vacation, is to find the best donut shop in town. This one definitely fits the bill. Possibly the best donuts I have ever had. I particularly love the fact that they were MINI donuts...more donuts, less guilt haha! The establishment was extremely clean, and very welcoming. The menu was very easy to read with the description and picture of each flavor. Hubby and I ordered the 6 pack and as we waited, the very gal gave us 2 "samplers" JUST MADE, so HOT! Oh my! What a great idea! See my photo for the size of the donuts. They are truly MINIs. The staff were all super friendly and kind. The joint was super clean and neat. The donuts were super delicious and with so many unique flavors. I have nothing bad to say about this place!! HIGHLY recommend!

    Donut cone cake

    I had a great experience with them. They worked with me on the creation of this cool donut cone cake for a birthday party. It turned out amazing and they were the perfect size so kids don't get an overload of sugar and the price was just right as well! I highly recommend. Family owned business, great and friendly.

    Busy little place! I stopped in to check this place out and was happily greeted by Hellos by multiple staff members and what you could assume are smiles behind their masks. LOL. When I walked up to order, I was asked if I had been there before and then explained the ordering sizes and that they have a 9 and a 12 box that wasn't listed. I went with the 12. I have had mini donuts before just not Van Dough so thought the 12 pack was the perfect size to try out several options. They also gave me a donut to sample while I ordered which was the strawberry Iced Iced Baby, it was so fresh and hot, I couldn't wait to walk away to be able to eat it. They make the donuts to order so I stood there for a little while they made the orders ahead of mine and mine and listened to each person that came in while I was there when asked if they had been there before. All of them said No and that they would be back and that they couldn't believe they never knew the place was there. Good for them!!! That kinda stuff actually makes me happy to hear for a small business. I know when I got home with the donuts and presented them to Ben and reviewed their other options that I didn't pick that I got "why didn't you get that one?!" comments, so guess that means he liked them and we will be back!

    NY Cheesecake Mini Doughnuts
