Mel-O-Glaze Bakery

About

Located at 4800 S 28th Ave in Minneapolis, Mel-O-Glaze Bakery has long served as a neighborhood staple for those seeking a wide variety of baked goods. While the shop offers a range of treats including cookies, bars, and eclairs filled with Bavarian cream, it is perhaps best known for its diverse selection of donuts. From traditional glazed options to more creative varieties like cereal-topped donuts and even gluten-free, dairy-free alternatives, the bakery aims to provide something for every palate. The experience at Mel-O-Glaze is often described as unique, occasionally featuring a self-service model that reflects the shop's informal, no-frills atmosphere. While some visitors appreciate the straightforward focus on the quality of the donuts, others note that the shop is better suited for a quick stop rather than a traditional sit-down café experience. With a solid 4.4 rating from hundreds of reviews, the bakery continues to draw in locals and visitors alike who are looking for a classic, community-focused spot to pick up a box of sweets near the Minnehaha Parkway.
