Bogart's Doughnut Co. - Minneapolis

Cute little shop. No table or chairs so you take them to go. I tried the cinnamon roll which was very delicious. It was more of an airy bread cinnamon roll and very large.

Good: The fillings/frostings use high quality ingredients (vanilla beans vs. vanilla extract). The dough was just right slightly crisp exterior, not too airy, not too dense. Needs improvement: Dough proof times. The dough was definitely proofed for 30 45 minutes too long prior to frying and has a distinct yeasty taste and smell. This was only an issue in the filled donuts. Overall good donuts that use high quality ingredients, but has (addressable) flaws. I will be coming back.

If Bakers Wife has the best cake doughnuts in Minneapolis, these are the best raised. The brown butter glaze is absolutely delicious and the dough itself isn’t too sweet. Disregard the over-hyping of Glam Doll (which has served me raw dough — twice! and go here for your fancy doughnuts. My only quibble is that the portion sizes are so large.

Always perfection. I tasted these donuts at a pop up maybe 10 or 11 years ago and thought about them for 2 years until the shop opened. We served the brown butter glazed instead of cake at our wedding and 8 years later I still get asked about them. Order ahead online if you don’t like waiting in lines.

After living in Minneapolis for many years, I finally visited Bogart's in person, and I have a feeling this could become a frequent stop for me. I really appreciate the simple, clean, and vintage decor of this cozy shop. The staff were all wonderful—efficient but also very friendly. And of course, the donuts are simply incredible. I can't get enough of the chewy, eggy texture of the yeast donuts; it's almost like a cross between a crepe and a donut. There's a reason why the brown butter frosting donuts are so well-known—they add just the right amount of sweet richness to the more savory base of the donut. I also found the coffee to be quite enjoyable; it's probably better than it needs to be, but I certainly appreciated it!
