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

“Delicious donuts!! Great service. It is a rarity to have a peanut and tree nut free bakery…even more rare to taste so good!! We will definitely be back any chance we get. We highly recommend this sweet shop!!!“

“Pretty good coffee served via a walk up window. Nothing wrong with it, just many places for good coffee in the area and not the best one.

Update: The owner asked whose coffee we preferred. We thought Pedestrian Coffee and Brew Brew were probably the best we had this trip.“

“LOVE Smack Dab!! I live in RP and walking to Smack Dab always makes my day. The coffee is amazing. The vibes are so cute and so are the folks that work there. Recommend 100/10.“

“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. 😊 🙏“

“Ribs very delicious also the soups the shakes everything they make is very delicious“

“I was looking for a coffee shop to get my quick morning coffee and came access Stan’s donuts. I am not a fan of donuts but when I saw the red velvet donut, I had to get one. It wasn’t overly sweet like most donuts but they still got the red velvet flavor just right. I’ve tried other donut shop’s red velvet donuts and they never seem to get that red velvet flavor right. Highly recommend Stan’s donuts, even if you are not a fan of donuts. I’ll have to grab another donut for my flight snack back home!“

“This was my first time trying mochi donuts, and they were delicious. They are light and airy and not too sweet. I had the iced vanilla latte with oat milk, and my husband got a hot one. It was the perfect combo. The staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. The place was super adorable.

Parking is paid. Come prepared to park and walk. Worth it though!“

“Thank you, Backlot Coffee, for letting us use our personal cups again and helping to protect the environment.“

“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.“

“Donuts were great and good service“

“Small coffee shop with a solid selection of specialty drinks along side a few sandwiches and pastries.

Seating is very tight, maybe space for 10 at most. Decor and art are nice and the place has good vibes.

Sandwiches could have been a bit better, maybe needed some kind of sauce. The drip and specialty drinks were very good though.“

“Fresh cookies and donuts and coffee. Staff was very courteous and kind“

“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.“

“Ribs very delicious also the soups the shakes everything they make is very delicious“

“Very pretty little cafe with outdoor seating space. We only tried the baked goods which were also very pretty and started at $4.50 a piece. The donuts are unconventional--imagine a slightly denser challah shaped like a donut. They're bready and sort of chewy, but it works as a pastry and would pair well with coffee. The staff was friendly and there was plenty of space--no line on a Saturday morning.“

“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! ❤️“

“Donuts are amazing! 💯 recommend“

“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! 😊“

“Yum 😋. Great customer service“

“High-quality donuts and good coffee. The team is a little angry for no reason. One feels they even don't want to help. The fact that at the end of the day, the stock is run out is not good.

Dietary restrictions: FULL OF SUGAR

Parking: Public parking or paid ones.

Kid-friendliness: A paradise for kids as they can find all that they like.“

“I've never left a review on Maps before, but the service was so pleasant here that I felt compelled to!! The cashier was so friendly and greeted everyone who walked in + she was so considerate in preparing my order :) She also cleaned the tables so quickly after patrons walked in and out. So hardworking and sweet!! And my food was amazing 🩷🩷“

“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.“

“The hospitality here is just as AMAZING as the popcorn and doughnuts!! 🙌🏽 I highly recommend u stop by and check them out!! U’ll Thank me later 💯😘“

“We had your coffee Unicorn Blood at a new coffee shop in Kenosha Wisconsin (Kenosha Coffee Roasters) and it was absolutely amazing! I’m an original Chicagoan and was glad to see such a great coffee company back home when I looked you up. We will visit one of your shops when we are back home. Meanwhile, I’ll pick up bags locally! Bravo and good luck to you all!“

“Gorditas de Nata are so delicious! Wish they were nearer to me.“

“Amazing donuts every time I’m in Chicago I try to hit that place up it’s almost good as Mojo monkey donuts in Saint Paul sorry had to throw the plug-in“

“Firecakes is a must on any chicago trip for me. Donuts are delicious and never too sweet. Last time I was at this location I had a rhubarb fritter that forever altered my brain chemistry it was so good. If you like well-made donuts with unique flavors you can't go wrong with this or their other location further north.“

“This place is such a gem. We were in town for the weekend and found this place next to our hotel. The atmosphere gives off a retro diner vibe but with a modern chic vibe. The service is awesome, the young women are cordial and friendly. They even got to know my son by his name who went there every day to buy coffee and sandwiches for his grandma. The donuts are delicious. Definitely will come back when we visit our daughter in Chicago.“

“After Dinkel's closed I was on the hunt for a new no fuss place in the area to get pastries. Rudy's is it! If you get there early enough they have a great selection and their danishes are perfect! The prices are fair, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere feels classic.“

“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“

“Best coffee in Chicago! So much flavor and great service!“

“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.“

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

“I had a brisket burrito and Mac & cheese . Very Delicious ! I will be back.“

“The staff here is fabulous. They get you in and out quickly. It is Dunkin. There is no need for a discussion of what is served here unless you came from Mars.“
