Longfellow, Minneapolis
Old-school doughnut counter, since 1961
Mel-O-Glaze Bakery
A South Minneapolis institution near Minnehaha Parkway, baking since 1961 and routinely called the metro’s most-awarded doughnut shop. The glazed doughnuts melt; the donut holes are free, one per customer; and the Saturday cinnamon rolls and fritters are the reason people set an alarm. Smiles come standard.
