About
Carolyn's Coffee & Donuts in Old Town Mankato is the go-to morning spot for southern Minnesota's donut lovers. Opening at 5:30am on weekdays, they serve classic American donuts — cake, glazed, fritters, and bismarcks — made fresh every morning. The shop's longevity speaks to their consistency; in a college town (Minnesota State University) that sees constant turnover, Carolyn's remains the constant. The riverside Old Town location adds charm, and the coffee is brewed strong to complement the sweet offerings. No frills, no gimmicks, just excellent donuts.
