Mighty Fine Donuts

According my husband and in-​laws, Mighty Fine are the best donuts in Erie, hence we make a special stop here every time we’re in town. The donuts are fresh and they are very reasonably priced.
This establishment is open ²⁴⁄₇. They also sell cigarettes and lottery tickets here. The staff is always friendly and the donuts are sooooo good.

Always fresh and amazing… Services fast and employees very helpful in the decision making progress. Love this place!

Grew up in Erie, and a child remember getting glazed donuts their. And still to this day the only place I will get glazed donuts.

There is no comparison to any other donut. I grew up on 33^rd St just up the street and I loved them then. Now I live in Pittsburgh and miss the hell out of Mighty Fine Donuts. I got two of my coworkers totally hooked on the chocolate iced, cream filled. They are simply amazing. If you call in an order a few days ahead of time, you get a discount (but they are already so cheap). Also, you can ask for special items not normally available. I asked for MAPLE ICED CREAM FILLED (yeah that’s right) and they made them. You think the chocolate ones are good? Holy shnikies are the maple ones decadent. I’ve walked out of there with SEVEN dozen donuts for my buddies in Pittsburgh. Even more good news: they freeze incredibly well so you can stretch them out until your next trip to Erie.

Visited here as they are listed on Erie’s Choice. The donuts are decent, the brownie I bought was dry. Prices are low, but it’s not really an establishment one must visit in Erie, certainly had nothing on the baked goods at Art’s.

The donuts are the best in the world, however the neighborhood is an eyesore. But if you can get past that, then the donuts are totally worth it. They should have these places all over the county.

Ok normally I wouldn’t review a donut place but these are freakin’ awesome! Neighborhood is a little shaky but there is a steady stream of customers. They were also very patient with us as we chose our dozen.
When i am back in Erie, this is on my list of places to stop!

Best donuts in the world! I havent found any donuts as good as Mighty Fines. One day I hope to open my own Mighty Fines in NYC and DC.

Best donuts in Erie … Great place to go late night for a snack… I like the chocolate glazed… Glazed twist… Chocolate éclair is good… A little sketchy part of town … But worth it

I grew up in Erie, PA. And have lived all across the country, and travelled overseas quite a few times and tried many, many donuts and nothing compares. I have been trying to get the recipe for years. I have even offered to buy the place. I still have an idea to buy it, or their recipe. The most delicious donuts on the planet. Hands down. Best ones by far are: Chocolate Covered Cream filled (white and custard), Glazed Twist, Iced Raspberry and Strawberry, and the occasional Powdered Jelly filled. If you know the recipe, please let me know!!!

Best donuts I have ever had — they’re made fresh each and every day. You can’t beat the pricing and it’s impossible to find better quality. The scent alone when you walk in the door is fabulous!

Mighty Fine Donuts is one of those rare places that completely lives up to its name. I’ve never had a tastier treat than the glazed crullers. Every time I come to Erie, this place is a must to visit. This may be my shortest review ever, but the absolute best don’t need to be filled with accolades of how wonderful they are. I said they’re the best and if you don’t believe me, come try them for yourself.

Mighty fine is just that and more. If you in Erie this is a must fir everyone. You will not be disappointed. The staff is always friendly and speedy and there’s always old vets hanging out. I love the maple glazed and the pumpkin donuts this fall can’t be beat. It’s a low key place packing a sinfully delicious treat. The part of town it’s in isn’t the most gorgeous part of Erie, but who gives. There’s parking in the street and you’ll have no problem finding some normally. The best part is you won’t break the bank, it’s cheap and way better than any chain comparable. Definitely worth a stop!

Mighty Fine indeed. Lives up to the name and then some! Worth the drive into this dilapidated neighborhood (do not be turned off by the look of the area). One of THE best donuts I have ever had, especially the bavarian cream! Can’t go wrong with the crullers or the fry cakes either, but I’m not sure if you can wrong with anything here… besides packing on the pounds because you can’t stop eating these bad boys!
The coffee is not so great, but I don’t come here for the joe. (If they could improve the coffee… 6 STARS for MFD!)
As others have said, skip the chain donut joints, take a trip to this has-​been of a neighborhood (you can see how at one point, this place was full of old school Main Street American flare), forget about health for half hour or so, pick out a random dozen, and definitely share with family and friends back home.

I’ve never had a donut as fine as a Mighty Fine. None of the chains compare, and this shop is the one thing I’m going to miss when I leave this area.
The donuts taste just right — the cream-​filled donuts have just the right mixture of dough and cream to make both stand out. Everything the shop offers is freshly made daily — you’re not going to be disappointed in anything you get.
I know people, in spite of this, who prefer Krispy Kreme. You’d have to be crazy to prefer a chain donut like KK, Dunkin, or Tim Horton’s to Mighty Fine.

Every time I come to Erie I have to stop here. I’m eating a chocolate cream filled as I write this. Some of the best donuts I’ve ever tried. You may not see these on some fancy Food Network show like those Voo Doo donuts but do your mouth a favor and try them. No maple bacon goat cheese flavor here. Just good old fashioned fry cakes served up from an old store front by folks who know fried dough. I’m done now I have to take another bite.

Wow! I loved these donuts so much! they are like heaven in my mouth! I can’t say I am a big fan of their brownies. They taste like the quality of betty crocker which is still delicious. But, it’s nothing to make a shout out. But do try their chocolate covered donuts with the white cream. The donut holes are my favorite type as well!

Move over donut makers in Chicago. lil ol Mighty Fine in Erie Pa can compete with the best of em!
I can eat a dozen angel crème filled doughnuts. Why is it so darn hard to find them here in Chicago? Oh yeah, they are too busy making frou frou doughnuts here in Chicago. What must a girl do to get a doughnut filled with yummy angel crème?
I did what a doughnut fiend must do. Took an amtrak to Erie.(ok, I admit I didn’t come for the doughnuts although that would still be a valid reason. But I did come for the pepperoni balls! That’s for another review!)
I loved the dougnuts filled with sweet surprises inside as a little girl. Still love them 30 some years later.
Next time I will take a dozen!

Great donuts! We tried the cherry cake and blueberry cake donuts along with the peanut butter filled (which were awesome!).
They tasted freshly made and were just plain tasty. Next time I’m in Erie I know where I’ll be picking up breakfast.

Ya know…
I have other donut reviews in my lists.
And some of them have 5 stars.
Well…I must have forgotten about the donuts I grew up with in Erie, PA.
Mighty Fine Donuts are bar-none…the best you’ll have… ever.
The glazed twists and chocolate covered with white crème are SO shut-​ur-​face good…
I remember I used to work 3^rd shift at Country Fair when I was a kid… and my buddy Joe used to come over and hang out. These donuts would get delivered bright and early… and him and I would eat all the best ones. LOL
I also had an ex that used to work at the one on Parade Street… man, she’d get outta work and I’d sleep over her house sometimes… and she smelled SO damn good, hahaha. Man, I miss those donuts.
