Well I certainly do!

First things first, I'd try and get the tagging right in OSM itself (via
iD or whichever other editor you're using). For a donut place I'd have
expected amenity=fast_food, but maybe for some amenity=cafe would be OK
for some. I'm guessing a bit here because I'm from the UK and donuts
aren't really a thing here - we have healthy alternatives like Greggs'
Steak Bakes and Pukka Pies instead :)

Well "what things show up as" on a Garmin depends on what rules you
write in in the style used to create the Garmin map. I've not tried it,
but I guess that you could write some fairly complicated rules that
identified donut places and mapped them to "0x0d" from
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types . It'd
be up to the people packaging the "standard" style whether that
incorporated those rules, but there's nothing stopping you creating your
own style with them.

I don't think that creating multiple Garmin POIs per OSM POI is possible
using mkgmap "out of the box". I did experiment with it ages ago, but
didn't go anywhere with it as it didn't really seem beneficial - you've
always got the option of searching "all food and drink" to cut across
subcategories.*
Best Regards,

* on my Garmin anyway - I'm aware that different models vary.
