Peace, Love & Little Donuts of Portage

My friends and I were in Portage today and stopped into Peace, Love and Little Donuts. What a great place. It's practically an experience. Warm cake donuts, crispy outside and soft cake inside, not dry or crumbly. The choices are incredible and the donuts are adorable. I got six without even having tried one before. Blueberry Pancake, Strawberry Cheesecake, Butterfinger and Apple Pie. Absolutely delicious. I would totally gift these.

We happened to be staying in Kalamazoo following a Red Wings game (they won 😉 LGRW!) and my husband was craving some donuts. We happened to drive past this groovy place called “Peace, Love, & Little Donuts” and H O L Y WAH! The best donuts I’ve had in. My. Life!!!

We never got to try the donuts. I ordered them online on a Friday for Saturday morning pickup. The charge was instantly pending in my bank and I got a confirmation email. I showed up at the pickup time Saturday morning and there was a paper sign on the door that it was closed due to medical issues and hope to reopen Friday. That is understandable but my online order should have been declined or at least credited back. It went from a pending charge to a cleared charge a few days later eventhough I never got an order. I had to dispute it with my bank since no one ever contacted me from the donut store. You would think they would have a process for not charging orders for days they were not open, kinda scary.

Peace, Love & Little Donuts absolutely blew me away. This place isn’t just selling donuts — they’re creating mini gourmet desserts by hand, right in front of you, with a level of craftsmanship you usually only see in high-end pastry kitchens.

Every donut starts as a warm, fresh base made daily. Then the magic happens.

She custom-builds each donut to order.
Not premade.
Not sitting on a shelf.
Not mass-produced.

We’re talking:

🔥 Hand-piped creams
🔥 Homemade toppings and icings
🔥 Real ingredients
🔥 Chef-style decorating techniques
🔥 Warm donuts turned into gourmet creations
🔥 Every flavor layered, intentional, and beautiful

The variety is insane — cereal donuts, chocolate chip, strawberry cream, berry drizzles, golden crumble, marshmallows, chocolate shavings… each one looking like a miniature piece of edible artwork.

Every donut you get is DIFFERENT, balanced, and chef-level in flavor.
Nothing tastes artificial. Nothing tastes cheap. This is premium, fun, creative dessert work.

The presentation? 10/10.
The freshness? 10/10.
The flavor? 12/10.
The craftsmanship? Off the charts.

Gluten free donuts, yes please! Peace, love & little donuts is my favorite donut shop. Not only are the donuts, wonderful, but so is the owner. She takes such care into making these little donuts. She offers a gluten friendly day on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. You definitely don't want to miss out!

What a treasure this place and its owner! First time in today and we'll definitely be making this a regular stop. The doughnuts are assembled to order to they're fresh, sticky and delicious. Such a creative spread of toppings and combinations, can't wait to try them all.

I realized that I should have taken a photo of our beautiful half dozen for the review but we ate them too quick!

We are new to the area, and decided to try something new and local. We fell in love with this place after the first bite. The small size is perfect, the flavors are amazing, and they make your order as you are standing there and they truly do turn out beautiful. We decided this is our new Sunday morning tradition, highly recommend!

I placed an online order and picked a pick up time. I then went at said pick up time to get the donuts which I needed for a meeting. They were closed, even though they were supposed to be open as it was during their set business hours! What a terrible way to run a business! I had to scramble to go pick up other food for a meeting when I ordered these donuts days in advance!!!!

Absolutely love this place now that Rachel is running it had been in a long while ago and the atmosphere was awful however this time around was above the top and I truly believe that Rachel was the key, she loves what she does and you can tell the doughnuts are superior to most everything around this area!!! This stop in was a quick grab and go wasnt planning on stopping but am so glad I did this will now be a weekly stop for me- if I could give her 100 stars I would because she has made this little doughnut shop a must go to compared to before!! THANK YOU RACHEL FOR ALL YOU DO!!! You are very much appreciated and so are your doughnuts!💯💯
