Lil Sammie's Mini Donuts
134 N Ashwood Ave, Ventura, CA
Crema's Take
“This charming Ventura spot is run by a passionate owner couple who deep-fry their mini donuts fresh right in front of you, creating impossibly light and airy pastries with wildly creative flavor combinations that taste like elevated funnel cake. Beyond the incredible pastries, Lil Sammie's wins hearts with genuine hospitality—they'll guide you through their options, throw in surprise Pokemon cards, and offer a "Baker's Choice" mystery selection if you're feeling adventurous. It's the kind of place where you can taste the care in every bite and feel the owners' real love for what they do.”

Owner is super nice and the donuts were very tasty! Appreciate the Pokemon cards as well.
These donuts are ridiculously good. Made fresh. Tons of flavor options. The flavor is like funnel cake but the texture is light and airy. The owners are a couple and the run the business themselves. They are very cool, kind people and clearly care a lot about providing great service and mini donut. Highly recommend this place! This is definitely in the rotation.
Incredibly delicious!! Like mouth watering freshness, wow so good. And they make them fresh for you very quickly. Will def be back. They are smaller than I thought so I didn’t order enough, I won’t make that mistake next time and I’ll order a bunch, great prices too. Thank you for the A+ customer service!
Talk about first class service and passion for product!! Sammie’s is a super friendly team who are willing to explain their options and give great recommendations. Now the donuts themselves?? Amazing! Made fresh right in front of you with high quality toppings. Loved the fun variety and playful flavors. Hard to choose a favorite.
They deep fry the donuts right in front of you and if you come in there and you order a dozen order quote a little of this and a little of that “then you’ll get Baker’s choice it’s really cool. You get to sit there and enjoy a nice conversation and very friendly. They’re very much a staple of the neighborhood you drink choices are nice to keep it simple but let me tell you what it looks amazing is Samy‘s mom‘s masterpiece that right there even if it does give you a heart attack you don’t care you will go smiling I love the smell of this place but if you want to go variety, get the 64 count bigger buddy box or you can just do the nine count mini sampler either way you can’t go wrong here. They accept electronic forms of payment and as well as good old hard currency the stuff we know.
