I am the owner of Continental Cafe and would like to respond to the negative review from Mr. Nordval. Mr. Nordval came in several times to buy donuts for customers of his and always complemented me for the great donuts we sold to him. Never once did he ever say the donuts were stale and he always came back for more. He even commented that they were so good that he had to refrain from eating all of them himself. After a few times coming in and purchasing the donuts he asked if he could put his order on credit and I said that was fine but would have to leave credit card information in case something happened that the bill wasn't paid. He agreed. Well, after about a month of ordering donuts, he...
I have bought doughnuts here at least 4 times now and they have all been great! The fritters are fantastic! Ultra crispy with a solid sugar glaze that hasn't liquified. Rivals the 3 Girls Bakery in Pike Street Market in Seattle for my favorite apple fritters! He also sells strawberry ones! If you know doughnuts, they are usually made early in the morning, so going later in the day means low selection. This cafe has at least 20 different kinds, so I think the reviews saying low variety must be going later in the day when it has been picked over. My daughter loves the frosted with rainbow sprinkles vanilla, chocolate and a strawberry glaze, which isn't just pink vanilla! There is also a great...
Completely accidentally found this place while driving by on a morning to work. Walked in first thing you see are TONS of doughnuts! At least 20 different kinds and the price was great! Owner says he's been doing this for seven years. I bought a chocolate cream filled doughnut with a powdered sugar coating. The filling was light and fluffy, the outside had just a hint of crispiness and if that didn't make me lick my lips the powdered sugar was there for that. The homestyle chocolate frosted doughnuts I bought were equally as good. Seriously, if you want some good doughnuts and you're in the Coon Rapids/Blaine area you'll be doing yourself a favor to stop in here. The only other doughnuts I'v...
I popped in with my youngest son to pick up some straps for my glasses at Select Eye Care next door. Yes, I admit I'm getting older! LOL. Once we were done, I decided to treat my son to a doughnut. The bottom line? The doughnuts were delicious and the staff was really friendly. Now we make it a point to have Father/Son time every couple of weeks for a doughnut... or maybe two! It's the little things that bring us the most joy. Signed, a Dad with a Sweet Tooth.

I ordered a frosted apple fritter, and the guy kindly added two extra mini apple fritters on the house. He mentioned that the frosting tends to dry out the larger fritter, so he wanted to make sure I had something fresh to enjoy. I'm really glad he did because the mini fritters were incredible! I was blown away by how delicious, moist, and crunchy they were—definitely the best I've ever had! Thank you so much; I will definitely be back!
We've been coming here for years for donuts. There are a lot of different kinds to choose from, and they aren't too expensive. They also serve coffee and other food here, but I've never stopped for it. The owner is friendly, but a bit quiet. I don't mind, he's a nice man and I think he works hard. Thanks for keeping it up for us!!
A few people mentioned that their breakfast sandwiches were good. What!? They're made in the microwave. I don't think this place even has a grill. Microwaved bacon? No thanks. The donuts had good flavor, but as many others have noted, they're on the dry side. Their prices are reasonable, though.
