These are a delicious option for office-shareables! These are excellent for when you need to share with a lot of people, and they have a wide variety of flavors so you know you're sure to please everyone!

Best donut shop I’ve been to in all of the northeast. If you are a fan of cake donuts this place will blow your mind. So soft, tasty and moist. The owner is also the sweetest!

Employee said they didn't have any sandwiches at the moment Clearly looked as if she just didn't want to make it. Fruit flies inside the display. Donut was not fresh and I came 2 hours after opening. false advertising very disappointed.

Sweetest owners you'd ever meet. Very small family owned business... They make their doughnuts by hand and from scratch. Great for birthdays, gatherings,meetings or even as just a treat. They have awesome sandwiches as well.A bit on the pricey side but you're supporting two elderly individuals living out their dream in a high priced market right now... support is big and this place is a staple to our community!

These donuts are fresh, tender and delicious. They are all cake donuts and in miniature. The location is a little tricky, as there is not really any street parking. The location not withstanding, try these donuts. They don’t disappoint.

Pretty mid, the donuts are ok nothing too special. Also there's no need to buy a dozen, there's no discount in buying in bulk, buy what you want to try

I can agree that parking might pose as an issue for this location. It is on a main road and if you do not find any parking in the front, you'll need to park either up or down the block, if not on a side street and for some, this location might seem a bit underwhelming but for those of us that hold no issues with surroundings, you'll be just fine. This location closes at 2pm and so it is not like you will need to go here at night. The Owner is a cool Man though, we discussed his business and how he started back in 2002 - though with the pandemic, it changed all of his plans on expanding the business and that he had to remove his breakfast options for the people just are not coming in like they used to and its sad to see for we have lost MANY amazing restaurants and various other businesses over the last few years due to the pandemic and folks not really coming out like that anymore to eat, let alone shop. I will say that these donuts are good! Soft and chewy, moist and poppable for that on the go travel (as mini donuts should be) but do not expect full size donuts at all - these are those little bite sized unique treats for easy consumption. He doesn't make a lot with his business closing early each day and so I recommend coming EARLY! I grabbed up a dozen, just to taste the differences and between glazed toppings, cereal toppings, cream toppings, sprinkles and swirls of various flavors, these donuts are missing a nice shot of interior filling. I say that because they are roughly $2 per mini and for that price, I would like to have a mini experience. Mini Surprises are something that I would not mind spending $2 each for. Taking a bite and having a rush of even more flavor that you'll need to guess each and every single time. People wouldn't care as much when it comes to the price point for you are giving them a tasty overall experience which each donut and that's your name, right? Tastease....well since you don't make that many donuts to begin with for the day....let's give the people a fun reason to start coming back and create a new flow of business. Call them, "Mini Bits of Bliss" and let the flavor explosion happen in everyones mouth!! At least, that is what I would look to do but I digress. Overall it is still a decent flow of donuts but for now I will stick to my Dunkin' Donuts; more for less.

Tasty but expensive tiny donuts. Perfectly poppable, but pricy.Looking for good places to try, this place came up as a good little donut shop. Decided to give this place a go, so we made the trek here.parking is pretty much non-existent. The front of the store has spots but not much else. The front end is a little worn down, but the inside is clean.By the time I came here, they were mostly out of donuts. The lady in the front was a bit weary from the morning rush, so when I came in asking for a dozen donuts, she pretty much just started grabbing donuts to put into the tray.When a dozen donuts comes up to 24 dollars, you do make note of the price. These donuts had to be incredibly tasty to justify a price point similar to a french macaron.They were pretty dang good.Each donut was cakey, soft, sweet, and flavorful. The few that I had were done well, and some even had a little filling in the middle to help punctuate the flavors.If I got here early, and got time to pick a peck, and the price was a little cheaper to get a dozen, then I would be willing to recommend this place hands-down. Given the pricing and my issues, I had to dock a star.Issues aside, these little delectable bites are some of the best around. If price is no object, then you would be hard pressed to find tastier bites.
If you don't judge a book by its cover, don't judge a doughnut shop by the location and facade. If you've heard of a dive bar, Tastease would be a dive donut shop. Just like a dive bar that serves up good and affordable cocktails, Tastease gives you, "tasty" mini donuts. I went with my BFF to pick-up a special order of donuts for the post wedding reception party for the wedding party. All the donuts at Tastease, are mini donuts. So you don't have to feel guilty about eating more than one. The donuts are flavorful and the detail they put into icing their treats is amazing. The owners are delightful. Their warm friendly personalities, add to the experience of getting your doughnuts at Tastease. So, if you're in Hartford, CT, I highly recommend that you stop by and treat yourself to a donut.

We got the famous mini donut dozen and are happy to say that tastes lives up to the hype on their donuts. The flavors were unique and delicious while the mini size makes us for the perfect dessert portion.We'd definitely be coming back soon!
