The doughnuts are decent and they are a little pricey. I am a little biased because I would take a pick n save doughnut over any of the fancy doughnut places, but the breakfast sandwich was really good.

Misinformation online because there were only 4 flavors per day when in the pictures online they had a decent size selection and it is expensive. They also run out very quickly and it was hard to find downtown. This is the directed to the one on Milwaukee St, Downtown

Love this place! Best donuts in the city! I didnt even care for donuts until I came here. And their breakfast sandwiches... Wow. Not to be missed.

Awesome breakfast sandwiches and amazing donuts. Had I not eaten my donut so quickly, I might have had a picture to share! Great customer service too, will definitely be coming back. If you don’t live WF Bay like myself, it’s definitely worth the drive for a quick and tasty breakfast 🍩

The Japanese Carmel nitro coffee is to die for and while the doughnuts are on the more expensive side my husband and I felt like you get what you pay for. The doughnuts were unique and you could taste how homemade they were. We are excited to go back

Ive got to give credit where credit is due and tell you that their English muffin is the best I have ever had anywhere and I was at the Farmers Market so I imagine its even better at the store. Great job!!

Coffee was excellent, ham/egg/cheese sandwich had great ham and quality ingredients, and lastly the doughnuts were of excellent freshness and quality!

Very good donuts. The egg sandwich with avocado is excellent (with the homemade English muffin)! But in general, the staff is not very friendly.

Absolutely some of the most phenomenal donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee Ive had anywhere.Just know that,1. You will wait (because the donuts are amazing)2. They will sell out (because the donuts are amazing)3. They are more expensive than a chain (because the donuts are amazing)Theyre absolutely worth it though. We go every week.

The donuts and sandwiches are pure fire. I would give them six stars if I could. If youre really hungry, try the Big Rudy sandwich! Plus they donate part of the proceeds of that sandwich to the Wounded Warrior Project. Excited to have them in the neighborhood

Donut Monster is a great addition to Whitefish Bay! Their donuts are fantastic but you must try their breakfast sandwiches with homemade English Muffins. Also their nitro Pilcrow coffee with oat milk is amazing. Highly recommend!

More like english muffin monster! Look at the thickness of that, can never buy store bought again. Im not a stuffed donut person, but theirs are my preferred over their normal cake/OG donuts.PSA chocolate peanut butter buttercream NEEDS to be on the permanent menu.

I turned up at 11am and there were 2 donuts left. Kids were obviously disappointed, we left without buying anything as the ones that remained didnt look very good. Ive had their donuts on another occasion though and they are just OK, definitely nothing special.

I was given this as a recommendation via Google and I can say the ham,egg, and cheese English muffin was fantastic and $8 a sandwich. This business opens at 8 and I was there at 9 and I was unable to try the peanut butter/jelly donut which I truly wanted to try but it was literally sold out, I will attempt to be there at 7:45a and see if this will get me one of those donuts. It is small, but I loved the idea of pagers that allow you to wait outside for your food. Coming from Mequon I was kinda upset that at 9 things were sold out but no biggie, I grabbed up a maple bacon donut and that was ok. So for my review: Greattt English muffins, expensive, small but great area to just wait outside or ride bike or moto. I would definitely stop in for an English muffin if I am in the area during the temporary business hours of Thurs,Fri,Sat,Sun 8-2, AND the jury is out until tomorrow on the peanut butter/jelly donut. Good luck.UPDATE: I was able to get a PB&J donut this morning and it taste like a raspberry topping with a creme filling that taste like the Halloween peanut butter candy in the orange and black wrappers not to strong though which in my opinion was good. I also tried a Japanese nitro which was great but I do recommend cups with smaller mouth openings or straw openings. OF COURSE I had another ham,egg and cheese sandwich🙂. Overall good sandwiches, great coffee, and PB&J donut. Only gut wrenching issue is price and I personally can overlook that if I am in the neighborhood. I recommend you stop in and try. Good luck.

Skip the donuts?Arrived 10mins after opening on a Saturday morning. Two lines (cars & standing folks) - was 10th in the standing line. Orders taken equitably between the two. Took about 35mins total.Ordered 6 donuts (chocolate buttercream filled, buttermilk OF with sprinkles, mixed berry cheesecake, salted chocolate, lemon curd OF, maple bacon) and the nitro cold brew special (honey & oat milk)Really wanted to love these. The maple bacon and coffee were great, would order again (once the wait subsides). The rest of the donuts were not good. The old fashioned style are skinny, which looks different (artisanal!) but they were dense and dry-ish, flavors ranged from meh to inedible. The salted chocolate was inedible - bizarre not-chocolate-but-i-dont-know-what taste. My husband, sons and I ended up not finishing them (unheard of).The staff were efficient and kind, the storefront and logo are super appealing and local ingredients are what wed all prefer.... but the donuts are disappointing. Seems like everyone is all about the sandwiches - will try those sometime.Go to Grebes on Lincoln. Crueller, honeymooner, blueberry OF.

The donuts are unique and outstanding, but dont sleep on one of the best breakfast sandwiches in town. The English muffins are sublime. Great service as well.

Good food, but piss poor execution for covid. The donuts are worth it, and the breakfast sandwiches are great as well. Figuring out how to even get the food is the issue. They allow both in car and standing in line to order. Once you finally get to the front to order you then see that you are supposed to have known that you were supposed to keep track of your place in line relative to the cars also in line. If they run out of a variety youll only find out when you try to order, because it wont be noted on the chalk board outside. Then if you are too far away from the front door the tablet used to take orders can have trouble connecting to wifi. There is absolutely no information online as to what to expect when you arrive.

We gave this place multiple tries because it is nice to have a neighborhood donut place we can walk to. We have had ~7 different donut flavors and are consistently disappointed. We have never tried the breakfast sandwiches or the coffee because they seem really pricey. In my opinion, the hours arent early enough for a donut place. If you dont get there within the first couple hours of opening, assume that they are sold out of donuts, and if you are not there within the first hour, assume all the interesting flavors are gone. The old fashioned donuts are dry. Im a foodie, so I appreciate the adventurous flavors, but they dont translate well in these donuts.

This place needs a business partner who works the business side of things. Their doughnuts are very good. But they are always out. SIX WEEKENDS in a row, I went and asked for a sugar and spice doughnut and they were out. When I asked why, they said it isn’t popular so they don’t make much. But they are sold out by 9am (??). I cannot in good conscious keep going there because they never have the doughnuts that they advertise. This morning out of S&S, chocolate buttercream, OG, and doggie doughnuts. I did not ask what other ones they did not have cause I did not want a peanut butter sumac grape doughnut. Just make what folks want!

Their breakfast sandwich is on a homemade english muffin, which is 😋 pricey, but its worth it since its organic.

Amazing breakfast sandwiches; my mouth waters just thinking about them. I strictly go for the bacon, egg, and cheese with a cold brew because I’m not too much of a sweets person. Wait time can be heavy because lines are long depending on day and time, so plan accordingly!

Donut Monster sets the bar higher every time I visit for a breakfast sandwich and donut. I am consistently amazed at how well they introduce new flavors and even though I like to sleep in on the weekends...I have no problems getting up early if I want to come here and treat myself. Its worth it 😁

The greatest donuts Ive ever had. To many other donuts are sickly sweet, but these are just phenomenal.

$10 for 3 average donuts no one in my family actually cared for. Perhaps our donut palates are too simple. Ever think about making Churros?

First things first, the donuts are FANTASTIC, but I want to focus on, what I consider, the best breakfast sandwich Ive ever eaten (not hyperbole). The Benedictish! I always get it with their avacado spread. I would drive from anywhere in the MKE area just to get this sandwich. If you try Donut Monster add this to your order and you will be HOOKED!

Definitely over priced for their donuts. They sell a dozen for $30!!! Bought a dozen yesterday and was disappointed. Mediocre and some were kind of hard. Overall, they taste good but not worth the price.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t think there are any donuts worth an hour in line. No online ordering system suggests that’s exactly how they want it, which is kinda slimy and shortsighted.
