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.

So much we love about Mel-O-Glaze - friendly, welcoming, delicious variety, and gluten free options! This morning we ordered 3 dozen donuts for a neighborhood gathering and they made it easy - texted in my order yesterday and they had everything boxed up and ready when I got there this morning (for a reasonable price). Love you, Mel-O-Glaze! 🍩☀️❤️

Great local bakery thats been serving the neighborhood for a very long time. When we went it was self serve and my girlfriend with a sweet tooth was in heaven. The person on the phone was super helpful and friendly. Fun experience to have a great donut in the afternoon considering most places close early.

Honestly a really bizarre (but not bad) experience!! haha. I guess sometimes they don't have staff available to work, so you have to call a number to get a code to come inside-- then you pick out what you want (self serve) and also ring yourself up. You can call the number to figure out how to ring yourself up, but they use Toast so it's pretty easy to figure it out. I paid with cash so I wasn't sure where to put it? They didnt have a register.. so I put it under the toast card reader...? The interior is pretty halloween theme right now, but it's a little tacky. Reminds me of someones grandparents junk basement. Not bad, but kinda silly. I rung myself up for their brownie ($4) and it was alright! Pretty traditional brownie, might be a couple days old based on how the sprinkles look & how it tasted, but no problem. I probably wont be coming back because it's.. maybe too bizarre for me. I love the creativity, unique items, and the trust they have in their community-- but I like the face to face human interactions too much. Those are usually what I base my reviews on. Guy on the phone sounded kind! Probably a busy guy, but yeah. Confusing situation unless there's employees available on site. Oh parking is pretty difficult to find as well. This is more of a spot to stop by while you're going on a walk.

They have gluten free donuts that are also dairy free. They do, however, contain eggs. The donuts are rather dense but still tasty. The glaze has a slight citrus twist.

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 she noticed, she gave me a sticker to apologize. I really appreciated how kind she was about the mistake. They had so many options too and prices were reasonable. The worst part? Not a fan of street parking so if you go during busy times, this might be tough.
