    Sweet Piggy, Cookies and Cream, and Mini Madness
    Aubrey F.

    Love this place! They have the cutest and best mini donuts! Lots of flavors to choose from everything is hot and fresh! I ordered the Sweet Piggy, Cookies and Cream, and Mini Madness. Great combination and perfect to satisfy my sweet tooth!

    Birthday Donut tower

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

    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.)

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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!

    NY Cheesecake Mini Doughnuts
    Han P.

    Still the best mini doughnuts around, PERIOD. Staff are super pleasant and make ordering very easy, the store is so cute, and those NY Cheesecake doughnuts are everythinggggg!

    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!

    These bad boys are made fresh to order. Hot and delicious. Comes out quick if there isn't a line. Staff are friendly.

    Wow!!! I'm so excited to find this wonderful French bakery in Indian Rocks!…read more We went in for chocolate croissants, and discovered that and so much more. In addition to pastries, they have cookies, macaroons, quiches, crepes, breakfast sandwiches, beverages, and more. You can dine there or take away. Parking can be tough, but there are some free spots in front and alongside. If you are studying nearby and can walk there, that's what I would suggest. They have an efficient service process where you order the counter. The place feels both beachy and French. Such a wonderful find!

It wasn't bad but also disappointingly not great food wise. Service was pleasant and they brought items out quickly since it wasn't real busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Parking up front was easy. Staff was nice and friendly. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. Quiche with bacon mushrooms was just ok. Lacked seasoning, richness and depth of flavor. Not bad but not great. The pressed pâté panini with cornichons had a crunch and iceberg lettuce. The croissants missed the laminated butter pastry taste and flakiness. The raspberry beignet wasn't overly sweet but tasted more bready than donut beignet. After that, we still ordered a lemon sugar crepe that missed the mark. It leaned more savory undertones without the lightness, tart and sweetness. More meh. I tried adding more sugar. Was it the lemon in the jar instead of fresh squeezed? The batter? The whipped cream didn't help. Oh well, we tried. All in all folks seem to like it, but I wouldn't really say it's a Parisian cafe or a patisserie that I'd make a long drive. If you haven't had a great French bakery or staying in Pinellas or just want some for the beach, it's great. We were disappointed by expecting more than it was. Unfortunately.

The brussel sprouts appetizer is HUGE. It was double the size I have received at other places, so took some back to the hotel for leftovers. They also came with a tasty dipping sauce that was unique as well. The Caesar salad was neutral; no strong flavor yet not distasteful. No anchovies taste either. I could take it or leave it. The filet steak was tender served over some mashed potatoes and thick asparagus wrapped in salty, yummy bacon. The smoky old fashioned and expresso martini (with Baileys added extra!) drinks were tasty. Make a reservation online and Uber/Lyft if you are close as it's easy in and out!

We ended up splitting the seafood pasta dish, and it was more than either of us could eat, even after splitting it. Service was good for dinner.

Breakfast pizza was surprisingly great and enough for two people to split. Service at breakfast was fantastic. The coffee was always flowing and the servers were always smiling. The atmosphere and ambience are OK. I don't love the vibe, as it felt like a dated dining room experience. But Food was still great. If you are staying at the Opal Sands, the entire complex has amazing food and you don't even have to leave. Huge benefit to staying there.

We were seated as soon as we arrived, and throughout our visit the service was really good. My friend and I were having a very hard time deciding, and when we asked the server, she flat out told us that the two things we were torn between were awesome and we should order both and split them. We got the shrimp and grits and the lobster Benedict. On their own, the grits weren't anything special, although they were texturally great. Now when you add the shrimp and gravy . . . This dish is a whole other deal. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the gravy was super well balances. It had the perfect level of spice. The lobster Benedict had a perfectly poached egg, and it worked so well. The mornay sauce was a lovely touch. I'd definitely order it again, but I would also definitely order the shrimp again. Long story short, our server was right, they were both amazing. I also got a standard Bloody Mary, which was solid. I would definitely go back to this place. It's got an upbeat, family friendly atmosphere, and I think it's a great spot for locals and out of towners alike. It's also well priced. I'd also love to try their beignets or French toast next time. They've also got a huge lunch/dinner menu that I'd definitely want to try if I were in town for longer.

Ambience was like your regular breakfast place or diner, but definitely family friendly. We were there with our 8 month old baby boy and felt comfortable. Food tasted pretty okay, we ordered coconut shrimp, fish n chips and chicken tacos for brunch! The fish was a little undercooked and the batter was still a bit wet inside. Other items were not bad. For drinks, I ordered their popular pomegranate mimosa which came really flat (no bubblies) and in a wine glass! I sent it back and got a mojito instead - which tasted a lot better! Additionally, we were not aware the breakfast menu closes at 12 pm and we were already seated, so kind of felt obligated to order from the lunch menu at around 12.05 pm! It was too early for a sea food lunch for us! We saw the table next to us had ordered breakfast just a few minutes before us but we were denied because it was already past noon. Overall a pretty average experience. I was expecting a little more authentic experience but turned out to be just like your local diner.
