50 Best Donuts in Chicago

“Longtime donut/breakfast sandwich customer, every menu item is great! First time trying the original chicken sandwich. It was amazing! Crispy and well marinated chicken with a perfect balance of crunchy pickle slices and lettuce. A creamy mayo with a pickle relish in it helps create a unique briny flavor. Hand cut Fries were perfectly cooked. I added a little Cholula to my sandwich and it was a whole different and delicious taste. Friendly staff. Wonderful experience as usual! Stop in and grab a stool!“

“Delicious ♥️ the donuts just melt in your mouth.“

“Friendly staff unique menu. Very child friendly. Made good. Use of the space hot chocolate, fried chicken and donuts were out of this world delicious… overall a unique one-of-a-kind experience was had“

“Delicious fresh donuts, carefully packed and the orders are always right. Fantastic service. The people that work there are always so nice. Such a great place.“

“Don’t let the photos fool you, these are hands down the best donuts I’ve ever had in my life. I was a little upset when my half dozen rang up to $47 (my fault for not looking at prices ahead of time) but was SO incredibly surprised by the flavor and texture of these donuts. The bakers have managed to find a way to make yeast donuts perfectly flavorful with no greasy feeling- they are light as a fluffy pillow with the slightest crisp from being fried. Honestly, to die for. Were still amazing even hours later!!“

“They were delicious. Glad we found it before we left town! Service was great also! Wait in line it’s worth it!!“

“it's all good to me, havnt had anything bad yet“

“Used to sell out, so be aware of that. It's a one of a kind donut, which makes it worth the try at least once. I know people who didn't like it, but I liked it very much. You're guaranteed to have something that won't taste like any other donut.“

“We tried breakfast burritos and pretzels sandwiches for breakfast. Burrito tortilla was so soft and tender, i thought they made with cheese. Insides cheese with veggies and egg were melted together, it disappeared into my mouth so quickly. After quick breakfast we had donuts, croissants with cherry and buttermilk cream Bismarck, both were good but we had disputes regarding which donuts is best.😙“

“We stopped by after the Cubs game yesterday and got a cheese danish donut and a Pumpkin Spice donut. Hands down the best both of us have ever had before! ❤️“

“Stumbled across this gem today with my children and what a treat! Very fresh and tasty donuts. What added to the experience was friendly customers who were patient with me and my picky kids. We were being typical newbies and needed time to get our order straight. Not only were they patient, they also were sooo sweet and secretly picked up everything we ordered. My kids and I could not stop talking about how nice of a gesture and how good it felt. Kids told me before bed, that today was the best day ever. In hopes you follow the page and see this, Thank you very much. 😊 🙏“

“Fantastic restaurant in the neighborhood serves excellent food and donuts and takes care of the neighborhood and the world. So grateful for their presence in Rogers Park. Also the peach spicy Sammy is to die for.“

“The donuts were delicious! Any place that has a donut with dulce de Leche is a must try and that one didn't disappoint. The donuts were great and the price was good. Coffee was also really good. Friendly staff. I need to go back and try more.“

“The employees here are excellent and have to deal with far too much for what they’re paid. This is the second time I’ve seen them be harassed and bullied by violent customers that make the entire store feel uncomfortable by spitting, throwing trash, and kicking furniture around. I wish they had more resources and/or tools to deal with these situations.“

“Donuts are fresh 10/10 recommend“

“Definitely great yummy food here. My friend lives off of Addison. The donuts, coffee and breakfast sandwiches are so good. I live in the suburbs in Aurora Naperville area and it’s always a treat for me to stop by and get Do-Rite donuts. Maybe one day there will be a Do-Rite donuts in Aurora/Naperville area in the future. I actually stopped at Do-Rite earlier today as I was in Chicago for the Cubs game. Keep up the great work everyone. You all make very good food. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to Do-Rite donuts.“

“Ran by great, kind people. Everything I’ve had has been delicious—pizza, donuts, bolillos, croissants! The donuts and bolillo sandwiches are my top recommendations. Best donuts I’ve had in Chicago and for the best price! Oh and the coffee is fantastic as well, nice and strong like I like it. I highly recommend it to anyone who lives in or is passing through South Chicago, just make sure it’s Saturday or Sunday! You won’t regret it! 😊“

“Came here for an event and it was great food with friendly staff! Had the pumpkin Carmel Mochi donut and the mozzarella original flour dog. Both tasted great and something that reminded me of the street food in Asia! Staff was very friendly as well- support your local businesses!“

“Drink Happy Thoughts is a great little spot in Uptown—cozy, welcoming, and very neighborhood-forward in the best way.

The Butter Me Up drink was the clear standout: a perfect balance of sweetness and espresso, smooth and incredibly well done. The Bee Sting was good, but I would’ve loved a bit more kick to really make it pop.

Food-wise, their breakfast sandwiches are fire. The Notorious with pesto was a fantastic start to the day—flavorful, satisfying, and clearly made with care.

Really happy to have found this local gem. Will definitely be back.“

“There’s ample indoor seating (high tops, low tops, couches), along with an outdoor patio, and even a conference room to work in. The staff is really attentive to detail when it comes to anticipating guests’ needs. They work with a sense of urgency too.“

Congratulations to this location for planning an amazing day for the bride and groom!“

“This was my first time at this location, and Dimitri was my first impression of Stan’s coffee here in Hyde Park. He was professional, courteous, and pleasant to encounter at 6 AM in the morning. I love good customer service and his customer service was on point!

As I sat and observed, Sabrina It was also great to witness her level of customer service.

This was an overall great experience.“

“I had one of the most friendliest interactions I've ever had in a dunkin! The worker that was shcudled today at 7 pm had such a friendly attitude that I couldn't help but wish her the best! I ordered 2 green teas and she explained that it's going to come out hot because she barely made it. I however didn't mind because who doesn't love hot fresh tea! :) she then proceeded to tell how she takes pride in her work because of how well she does it, and it for sure shows! 200/10 experience would recommend going here for your daily dunkin runs ?‍♀️“

“Do NOT sleep on the juniper latte! 🌲☕This is the best Chicago coffee shop for delicious brews especially this one near Logan square with a walk-up window making it the ideal spot for dog-friendly coffee runs in Chicago. 🪟 They have sweet and savory food items as well as rich flavorful coffee.“

“I went in specifically for shake but was told machine was down for past 3 or 4 days. wth??? donuts are ridiculous aka delicious iced Chai was decent but girl at counter is always a little curt/short not rude but not pleasant either.... you'd think working in a donut shop would make you happy....🤔🤔 guess not.“

“Best ice cream ever!!!! I am an ice cream snob when I’m on vacation. I have to have it every day and I walked miles to that ice cream parlor this week the owner and the boy Jake that worked there was such awesome people too. I will definitely be back. I went tonight because I’m leaving in the morning sorted caramel chunk.!!!! you will not be disappointed“

“**bring cash as it is cash only** Awesome little independently run place with delicious baked goods that are actually more affordable than store bought/grocery store brand? Highly recommend stopping by, the owner is wonderful and there is a decent variety of goods!“

“I had a wonderful time at this bakery. My friend and I went, Stacy was so kind and friendly to us, and she explained all the desserts and cafe set up. I will definitely go back, with more of my friends and family. I really liked the Snickerdoodle cookies, Danish, and Pumpkin bread a lot.“

“Stopped by on a random chance, they serve coffee by Happy Monday Roasters, unfortunately they did not have any Whole Milk so no Cortado this trip. But did have an amazing stinky ( in a good way) everything Bagel. Staff was very friendly, I asked about all the little bears, he said was for their signature drink, Honey Lavender Latte, not ‘my’ thing but cool idea !“
