Best Doughnuts: Donita’s Donuts Mini-Donuts
We assumed it would take something big to knock the perennial “Best Doughnut” honoree from its perch. Turns out, just the opposite did the trick. The small but mighty mini-donuts from Donita’s Donuts aren’t just adorable, they’re packed with sweet, tasty goodness, thanks to an airy cake topped with all sorts of flavorful glazing options. Oh, they have regular-sized donuts, too, frequently baked and decorated to recognize some special event, like Valentine’s Day or Astros Opening Day. There are kolaches and coffees, everything we’d expect from a modern Houston donut shop. But it’s the mini-donuts that got us hooked on this East End shop, which has been serving up the “yumminess and sweetness” for just a year-and-a-half now.
Maybe it’s the guilt-decreased appeal of these little donuts that allows us to savor each of the relatively few bites it takes to devour one. We don’t know, we just know we love them. They may be tiny but we feel the big love the folks at Donita’s put into creating these wondrous donuts, our favorites of the year.
