Oh my goodness! 😲 Best raised glaze taste and texture ever. (Love there is a Vegan option too.) And I went there around 4pm, so thats great that it was fresh. The girl working there was really kind and helpful too. Would love more Vegan flavor options though (there was only 1), including traditional doughnut flavors.

We were just walking by to put in an order at shake shack but it was too long so we stumbled onto this. Our donut ice cream was really good. Not what I really wanted because almost half of the menu was unavailable.

I wanted to give them a better rating but, theyre kinda average. The staff member who helped was amazing. I was just sad by their selection. I did love the beignets and the jelly inside. Id go back if I was around the area. Definitely love the Instagram moments.

The donuts are cake like with interesting flavor. However, its quite underwhelming for $3.5 a piece plus automatically adding of 15% tip. Mostly likely would not be back.

Tucked away next to Beast & Bounty. Nice variety of donuts.

Milk Money is incredibly disappointing. The only person working the counter was very nice, and the store’s interior is cool, but the donuts were mostly flavorless and didn’t have a good texture. I also think they’re just confused about what kind of business they are. Are they an ice cream place with a side of donuts? Or a tiny donut place with a side of ice cream? Pick one thing and do it well. It’s pretty frustrating that they only offer three donuts a day and they rotate flavors. Unless you follow them on Instagram you won’t know what flavors are on offer; the display case offers no indication aside from the one person serving all customers.

Moved here from SoCal and this was my first Milk Money experience!!! Amazed at the staff and more amazed by the food. The vegan donut pastry with a vegan chocolate ice cream stole my heart. The caramelized topping spoke to me. Taste was awesome and the combination of the flavors will make me return. A definite must! I love this place!

There is a lack of variety at night. Go during the day. Theres not a lot of room to sit down.The donuts are good, fluffy, baked not fried.They have strange flavors as well. They have vegan donuts. Ive read they have gluten free...but unfortunately I didnt get there until late at night.

So good! My daughter said we had to go because the waffle cones are to die for...she was right! We were not disappointed by our ice cream choices. (Peanut butter drumstick, vegan almond joy and mint chocolate chip). We also sampled a couple of donuts and found that they were fantastic. Much better than chain brands. If youre looking for a delicious treat this is the place to go!

Holy Jumping Sloth riding a neon glowing cheetah throigh the center of town at midnight! Where have you been all my life. Lets start with the bigniets... Not too sweet, great texture and the cream filled ones were fantastic. But the sherbet... Oh my lord the sherbet. Poached cranberry was glorious with large chunks of cranberry. And the black pluot... Fan-freaking-tastic. Both were creamy, dense, richly and complexly flavored, and smooth. As. Silk. Please open a location in Maryland.

Review β„–19

I like that these donuts aren’t too sweet. I brought some to work for coworkers and they liked that about them too. They go well with coffee. The chocolate pudding style donut was really good and I don’t even like chocolate. It taste more like an eclair, which I liked. They even had vegan donuts and vegan ice cream which I’ll try next time. Vegan ice cream from a shoppe is really hard to find. Usually the choices are limited to sorbets. The staff person was nice and lots of donuts left on Friday around 9:30. The box is cute. Parking is expensive. This is a small shop but the outdoor open quart yards makes up for it.

Fantastic donuts. It’s a different take on your everyday dough. I love the texture and density. Like with everything it’s a preference. Not like store bought or the more traditional Marie’s. I prefer a less sweet dough, though lately I think they have been experimenting with sweetness.They get creative but for my taste give me a plain sugar donut. Last round we went they had their traditional, almond joy and a fruit pebble. All delicious but too sweet for me.Yes, they are pricier but I recommend for a different twist. Let’s see what they have to offer next time we visit.

The best donut shop I’ve ever bought from. I love that they have vegan options that don’t skimp on flavor! Though the flavors change daily, they post in advance on Instagram what they’re releasing, making it easy for customers to see what’s on the menu. Their vegan β€œSummertime Sadness” Strawberry Basil and β€œSo Matcha Love” Sesame/matcha flavors are to die for! Super friendly staff is also a plus!

Review β„–22

I dont think Sacramento is quite ready for a $3-4 donut. Kinda reminds me of Top Pot in Seattle. Donuts are good though although not priced like Maries. This is for someone who likes to indulge but not get a dozen for others. Just wished they had more flavors to offer.

This donut shop is awesome. They are constantly creating new types of delicious donuts. Stop by and order one of each- you wont regret the flavor party.

Review β„–24

The only reason why this review is not a 1-star is because I appreciate the creativity in flavors. Having said that....I did not enjoy the donut I bought. The taste could definitely be improved and I dont quite understand the density in texture. On top of that, quite pricey! This is a NO..... thumbs down....try again.

In the new age of dessert places this one is taking a fresh look a treats. I really liked it. Unusual ice creams that broaden your sweet palate and donuts that redefine what a donuts are.

Milk Money offers donuts and ice cream. On the Friday of our visit they made 500 donuts and sold out within 40 minutes of their 8 am opening. The ice cream flavors are unique and made on site. They have a vegan option. We tried the honey ice cream and the flavor was very subtle (we missed it) and the texture was very dense and not creamy. It was more like frozen cake.

The majority of the ice cream seemed to be vegan which I was not expecting. Nice that they had some interesting flavours but the texture of the bits in the ice cream wasnt very pleasant.

Review β„–32

Design is on point. Donuts are definitely different, but my whole family enjoyed them. They are more dense and less sweet than your traditional $6 per dozen shops, but thats what gave it a bit of elegance. My son totally loved the vegan chocolate donut and my daughter enjoyed the cream filled donut.Im reading a lot of comments of people disappointed in the donuts, but if youre expecting a cheap overly sweet donut, then this is not the right place for you. Even my friend who bought them and brought them to my house said she preferred a more traditional donut (which is probably why I ended up with a box of them).

Review β„–33

Went and ordered a dozen which is $33.00. We had gotten there just in time before the rush!They were out of the peanut butter,but not the other flavors. So we had to wait 15 min.Upon returning,they had given away the other flavors?? So we had to wait another 15 min. Poorly run place,especially for a family who drops a chunk of cash per visit. Bummer.

This is quite the instagrammable, aesthetically captivating shop that is all the rage in the Bay Area, with the high price to match. That would be fine, if the donuts were actually good. These are impressively bland.

Review β„–43

This place is impressively bad. All the hype was for nothing.The flavor combinations are really cool... But there is not a lick of salt in these donuts, so they are insanely bland. I would be disappointed to have paid $1 for these, but they are like $3.50... yall need to fix your dough. I get that its brioche, and thats not traditionally salty... But maybe you should have gone a little non traditional?TLDR: Save your money, go to the donut store on the corner.

The donuts are Brioche donuts so they are denser than your usual donuts. Wasnt too impressed with them but the boyfriend and I did enjoy the ice cream. It is a bit pricier especially since it is located in the Ice Blocks.

Review β„–48

I feel this place is more of a four, but Im voting to balance off the negative reviews.Yes, this is expensive, but this is part of the donut as a pastry movement, which means youre getting a high quality pastry shaped like a donut. Do you expect a good pastry to be dirt cheap? Then there you go.That said, it could still stand to be cheaper and when donut bar finally sets up shop here, Im not sure Milk Money will be able to keep up with their quality, prices, and huge variety of donuts.That said, their signature donut, which has a hint of a variety of flavors, including orange, is quality and has a great pillowy yet dense texture inside and a great lightly sweet flavor with a creamy glazing.Its good stuff and midtown is fairly short on strong desserts other than just buying chocolates at Sees, Ricks being all aesthetic and little substance.Freeport Bakery is still the premier dessert spot in sac thougb

Review β„–61

Went here a few days ago and they were out of donuts, ok. However the cashier kept trying to push the ice cream on us and got offended when we said no. We asked if they were out of donuts and all she said was try the ice cream. Lame.Went again and all they had were donut holes. Ok got them and they tasted stale, I literally spit it out on the ground. Cheap ingredients Im guessing.Go here to take pictures of pretty donuts for Instagram but if you want real donuts go somewhere else.

Review β„–63

Disappointed.Doughnuts are dense and flavors are not bold. Not very sweet either. Definitely not worth the hype or price. Tried the Boston cream, raspberry, and one with popcorn on it (I can’t remember what it was called), on Oct 30. I was particularly disappointed by the Boston cream as this is usually a favorite flavor combination of mine. The cream inside had nice texture but very little flavor, the bread was dense and offered no flavor, and the chocolate on top was dark and almost bitter.Update:Nov 8 - Gave them a second try. Continually disappointed. The huckleberry doughnut’s glaze and berry topping actually had some flavor, but the bread was poorly executed. You can see where the frying oil had soaked into the doughnut when you bite into it. Like a ring of saturation around a dense and flavorless center. My mouth felt coated in oil after eating it. The hazelnut doughnut had a better texture, but the flavor is lacking. The chocolate topping was almost bitter, so the entire doughnut was bland and definitely not sweet.
