Lil Orbits Doughnuts

My family and I visited Lil Orbits last Thur. and are very happy we did. I had a dozen Cin and sugar ($ 3), a dozen powdered sugar ($ 3), and my kids had a dozen of the s’mores ($ 4). (keep in mind these are mini donuts, we are not pigs… well maybe just Lil ones) Anyhow, they were all delicious and I am CONTEMPLATING about jumping in my car and making the the 25 minute drive in this 104 degree weather as I’m writing this review. The donuts were hot, freshly fried bite sized little orbits of softness with a shell of light crispness. Sooo good! Similar to the kind you get at the fair. The lady there told me they are best eaten fresh. But my neighbor sure loved them after I brought some home for her an hour later. A bit of info… the place can be a bit tricky to find. It’s a stall in the Mercado swapmeet-​like section connected to Desert Sky Mall.

Great lil doughnuts hot and fresh inside Mercado de Los Cielos which is like an indoor swap meet kinda place. I asked the guy if he has seen the one in Seattle and he said he was from Spokane Washington, which is why he probably opened this place, based on the success of the Seattle location. I felt bad because the city of Phoenix health dept made this poor guy jump through 3 months worth of hoops in order to open a little doughnut store after he already signed the lease. Ticky tacky stuff like water connections etc. Sad considering the pathetic state of economy here in Phoenix AZ. The guy said he was 30 grand in the hole just when he opened the place 3 weeks ago.
But business aside, these doughnuts tasted great. Hot fresh and only a buck. Try them. 5 stars for hot doughnuts for a buck.
After this guys story I had to post a review and list this business to help this guy out.
P.S
Shame on you city of Phoenix for hurting small business owners and scaring away potential tax dollars.
