25 cents used to buy you the best raised-glazed donut in the world. Today, it will set you back 50. This ain’t some yuppie, anemic Krispy Kreme. This is a real donut, the type that has been insulating Minnesotans against sub-zero weather for over 50 years.
Don’t buy anything else (except the twister raised-glazed donut); the bakery’s other selections are generally bad. The store has been in constant construction for the last five years. For a while it hosted a pet bakery, and now it is trying to reinvent itself as an internet cafe. The draw of Melo-Glaze will always be its donuts and its campy neon sign.
