Mel-O-Glaze Bakery & Donut Shop
4800 28th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN
Crema's Take
“Mel-O-Glaze is a beloved Minneapolis institution that's earned its reputation as much for warm, helpful service as for its exceptional donuts and baked goods, including thoughtful gluten-free and dairy-free options. Beyond the pastries, their specialty drinks—like their notably sweet chai—add real depth to the experience, making it worth visiting whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or gathering donuts for a crowd. This is the kind of neighborhood bakery that's been doing things right for decades, where regulars and first-timers alike consistently walk away genuinely happy with what they chose.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

One of my favorite bakeries! The best part? I got a couple things, as did everyone in my group, and we all really liked our items. I really enjoyed my chai drink. It was sweeter than most places but I didn’t mind it at all. At one point, the cashier forgot my cupcake and when…
