Wonderful coffee!! Delicious, hot, and fast!! The donuts are absolutely amazing and done while you wait!

Dope spot with pretty good donuts! Def a nice hole in the wall spot in the nicer part of West Des Moines. Wish there were more unique cafes open like this in the metro area.

I see they close fairly early, my strong suggestion is I think this place would really thrive as a late night spot (open till 10-11PM on the weekends or something) as a late night hangout spot. Can’t imagine how busy it would get on weekends nights after high school football games or with weekend Jordan creek traffic. $$ for y’all, especially with how much prices have increased at hurts donuts over the past few years

Gourmet mini donuts are a hit!
And the macadamia nut flavored iced coffee was tasty.

Friendly and Fast, however you cannot pick each flavor you would like to try. You have to order three of the same flavor at the same time.

One of our absolute favorite places!! The mini donuts are amazing and the Kona coffee is too.

Excellent place to visit whether you're local or visiting from out of town!
This is Donut coffee shop is a small Nook in a strip mall. Hawaiian themed decor is well done. The mini Donuts are super tasty and made fresh to order.
The mini Donuts are hot, super tasty, and priced very reasonably for the amount of Donuts you get. My girls absolutely love them and want to come back the next day for more. Today we started by trying the Classic doughnuts, powdered sugar and cinnamon. We love them both but I think the powdered sugar had a little more sweet flavor than the cinnamon, though it was a close call. Regarding the fancy Donuts, at the time of this review I saw 11 flavors on the menu. We're going to come back for the next three days and try all flavors. If you order a dozen mini Donuts, and want to try multiple flavors, they allow you to try 4 flavors in a batch of 12 donuts. That's three Donuts / flavor if you can't do math :-) I'll update this review once we try more!

Update: I met the owner today, super friendly. I was looking for chilled creamer (or equivalent) and he read my mind. I tried their Kona coffee blend today. Not all kona coffee is created equal as you may know :)
My girls and I tried 4 more flavors today. We tried the honey one, coconut Grove, a sprinkles one, and cinnamon lava. We loved the cinnamon lava and honey one the most in this batch. More tomorrow!

Update 2: came in on a Sunday morning before church. We tried the smores, strawberry, salty seaside and turtle Bay. Out of the 4 flavors the strawberry was the clear winner according to my girls.

Final update: I brought all three girls in this time and tried the apple tiki, bacon sunrise, blueberry Beach, and a special one they whipped up for us :) they loved each one but I think the apple came out on top just slightly!

I think overall our favorites were: the classics (cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar), cinnamon lava, strawberry surf, apple tiki, and blueberry beach. We'll visit again when we're back in Iowa! Thanks and Mahalo!

We love Mahalo's! Best place to have a kid's birthday party in the winter. Coffee is excellent and the donuts are to die for.

My daughter and I try to go to a new coffee shop every weekend, this one did not disappoint. We both loved our drinks and got 2 different kinds of mini donuts that we both enjoyed. There's not many places we break our "new place" rule for but this one made that list, we'll be back someday for sure!
