Honest Reviews
Atmosphere – 4/5 Lil Gen’s is a small shack located in the cruise-line tourist area of Hoonah. Despite a rainy day, the spot was bustling with visitors. The line was long but moved quickly, thanks to the efficient setup. It’s a fun, casual stop perfect for a quick treat while exploring.
Service – 4/5 The staff were friendly and worked quickly to serve the crowd. Even with the high traffic, everything was handled smoothly. A nice touch—there’s a military discount available, and proceeds go to the local Salvation Army to help support the village, which makes your purchase feel even more worthwhile.
Food – 4/5 The mini donuts are served hot and fresh, available in half-dozen or dozen portions with lots of flavor choices. We tried the blueberry flavor, and they were soft, warm, and absolutely delicious. When you order a dozen, you can choose two flavors. They also sell a small selection of drinks like Coke, Coke Zero, bottled water, hot chocolate, and coffee.
Final Thoughts: A great little gem in Hoonah. Warm donuts on a rainy day? Hard to beat. Definitely worth a stop if your cruise brings you to town.

We had the sweetest young lady when we ordered donuts. The peach mango habanero are amazing! Some of the best donuts we've had. The maple bacon was also good. Above all, the sweet smile and friendly customer service was my favorite. What a great shop.

This is a cute little shack off towards the back of the cannery. The employees are super friendly and happy to answer questions.
I would recommend a half dozen per person. My wife and I each got a dozen and it was too much for us. If you get a dozen you can get two flavors.
We got the Chocolate Espresso, the Chocolate Salted Caramel, the powdered sugar, and the regular Chocolate. All of them were nice but I enjoyed the Espresso the most.
Also, I’m not sure if it was an accident but they included a half dozen of Fruit Loop but we didn’t notice til we left.
These donuts are small but flavorful!
They offer a military discount and ship crew discount.

We had a great time and the whole day was amazing with beautiful views
This was an very nice little donut hut in Honnah, Alaska during our port stop. It was at the Icey Strait Point location, which I'm pretty sure it's only accessible by cruise ship or by boat. It was about a 10 minute walk from the cruise port, and well worth a visit.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. They offered many different favors of donuts, and their prices were very affordable. The donuts came out very warm and were absolutely delicious and delightful.
Very yummy mini-donuts tucked behind the Cannery buildings. We caught it when the line wasn't too long and were quickly enjoyed cinnamon-sugar mini donuts. It was quite satisfying and just the right price.

I visited today and was thoroughly impressed! I tried the Birthday Cake, Blueberry, and Chocolate Raspberry flavors, and each one was fresh, delicious, and packed with real flavor—no artificial ingredients. The variety is fantastic, with over 20 flavors to choose from, so there's something for everyone.
The service was quick and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable considering the location for mini donuts: $10 for a dozen or $5 for half. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Lil Gen's Donuts is a must-visit for any donut lover, especially if you want a break from Cruise food.
