44 Best Donuts in Chicago

“Fresh and melts in your mouth, nothing different for the last 40yrs. By far the BEST“

“The 2D Restaurant is NOT to be missed. Such a great vibe, amazing owners, delicious food…and you can’t beat the vibe. Run, don’t walk.“

“Most fun experience I've had going for doughnuts! Only have small seating area outside, but was raining so we went across to the Mart.

Went on a weekday, late morning and still had a few items sold out. So go early as possible.

Coffee was great and all doughnuts were fantastic. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Fair priced and will definitely go back next time in Chicago.“

“I had an AMAZING pour over and ham-&-cheese croissant here. The space was welcoming and beautiful. And I had the chance to meet the owner, who was both professional and incredibly lovely (& coffee knowledgeable). I know coffee and this is my go-to coffee shop for every Chicago visit.“

“I LOVE D&D. Once you experience one bite, your expectations will never be the same towards donuts. Dunkin cant touch one of these... The love, joy and grace that goes into these donut are in every bite.

The spiritual refreshing of words and the OPEN WORD are truly gifts shared to all from Lady D. TASTE AND SEE, you wont regret it... Cash Only“

“Very difficult to choose- all were delicious. Staff was friendly and fast!“

“I would go here just for the mochinuts and atmosphere to sit and eat. Seems like one of the few places in the area that served milk teas hot over the winter.
The strawberry funnel is my favorite. Had a potato covered corndog from there before, I’m not sure if this is normal but the batter was kind of wet still, not sure if the final product is supposed to feel like a wet sticky rice on the inside..

Kid-friendliness: No graffiti anywhere that is unattractive: it was good and clean.“

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

“Love this place! I'm new to Chicago but the first thing everybody said I had to do was go to Stan's. You get a free half dozen donuts on your birth month. Can't wait. My favorite is the unglazed old-fashioned. My daughter tried one said it's the best donut she's ever had! Super crunchy on the outside delicious on the inside“

“Donuts were great and good service“

“Great food. Great service.“

“Very friendly and cute place to work, study, read or just hang out. They have the usual coffee menu. The cool thing is that their drip, in addition to great medium roast taste, is bottomless, so I guess that compensates for inflation! Curbside parking is free -- a other plus. There is both inside and outside patio seating.“

“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.“

“Great food. Great service.“

“Thank you! I just visited today for the first time. The customer service was amazing. Doughnuts were delicious. For sure, will return.“

“Very good donuts, would probably have been better if I arrived earlier! I got:

Havana latte (good but too sweet for me)
Vanilla birthday sprinkles
Pistachio lemon glaze
Blueberry crumb cake

The pistachio has an amazing flavor profile“

“While picking up a family from Northwestern Hospital. We all decided to stop in for a quick cheer us up moment. I was greeted and attended by a young, enthusiastic and very cheerful individual by the name Chiquita. Dear management of Do-Rite donuts and chicken, Continued success hiring people like Chiquita and you all will be all good.“

“Great popcorn and great customer service“

“I love Stan's donuts. My favorites are the birthday and the old fashioned donuts. For an assortment of a dozen donuts is $37.00. I do think they stay fresh for a couple of days. Their coffee is also good. They also are open until 8 pm. They also have vegan options.“

“Wow just got a dozen Donuts and it’s local 10 min away from me and wow they are delicious once a month for us will be great with some coffee“

“This was my first time trying a Mochinut and it was delicious. It is slightly different than a regular donut but I really enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and helped explain the difference between a regular donut and a mochinut. I got the churro donut that was part of the cinco de mayo themed donuts.“

“Appreciate they are open early and late. I've tried many different choices here and it's a mixed bag. I like maybe 60% of them very much. Prefer "Do Rite".

Often their specialty fritters have insufficient fruit.
Had a chocolate frosted banana cream filled Long John was good except inadequate amount of filling.

Best items are pistachio old fashion, buttermilk glazed old fashion, raspberry-blood orange jelly filled doughnut.

Really wish they would regularly offer a vahlrona chocolate frosted old fashion. That would boost my rating.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Greeted by a very pleasant worker who was patient while we made our selections. The donuts and coffee were fresh and delicious. The blueberry glazed donut is a must try. This location was out of bacon and other breakfast items, however, even at about 8:30am. However the selection of donuts was still plentiful. Will definitely pay Stan’s another visit next time we are in Chicago!

Wheelchair accessibility: Stan’s is on the second level (up the stairs from where we walked from), so may be a hassle to access.“

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

“Best donut I've ever had!“

“We stopped in here for a sweet snack for myself and a savory snack for my husband! We got the chocolate nut croffle and the cheese and ham egg sandwich. Perfect for a quick snack before going for a walk to the lake! We also noticed they had these very cute handmade crochet items for sale so my husband and I each got one. Very cute place and hoping to come back the next time we are in Chicago :)“

“Lauren was the absolute sweetest!! My boyfriend and I are visiting Chicago and stopped by Stan’s for breakfast and Lauren was so sweet and helpful! She picked the perfect treats and drinks for us while being an absolute delight :) thank you Lauren! <3“

“This place is amazing! The food, service and atmosphere are unbeatable. You won’t regret it, thanks smack dab!“

“Went to Stan's donuts recommended by a coworker and I was not disappointed. It was a 10 minute walk from my hotel. The shop was cute and the staff was great. My donut was really good and I tried the matcha latte. They even had non dairy options ???“

“FREE cup of coffee when you buy a bag of coffee beans. I went in to purchase a few bags as gifts for the coffee enthusiasts in my life. The barista/ coffee-tender with dark curly hair was knowledgeable and helpful when I asked for help with my selection.“

“This is an extremely busy location, and other than occasionally dirty tables, i have to say that whoever does the hiring here knows what they are doing… Every single person behind the counter is always always polite and nice. Every time. Every day. This is why I keep coming back. People treating people kindly.“

“The donuts aren’t even in question. They’re always good. I only wish there were more breakfast sandwich options. Also, there’s early a normal chocolate covered donuts. The vegan on is really good though.

Vegetarian options: There is for sure 1 vegan donut.“

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

“My girlfriend and I had just come back from Italy, desperately trying to find espresso drinks that even remotely measured up to the quality of drinks we had while vacationing. Needless to say, this place has the best cappuccino i’ve had in Chicago. Barista is super personable and knowledgeable on brewing techniques, very friendly atmosphere!“

“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 ?‍♀️“

“They said their names were Tania and Jada They really brought their A-game today at Dunkin'! They were all smiles, super attentive, and made sure everyone left with a great start to their day. Definitely made my coffee run extra special! ☕?“

“We visited Stan’s Donuts hydepark many times but this is the very first time got the five star service with Mr. Desmond. We orrdered cold drinks with my mom and 2 donuts for dine in. Even the ice is not available but Mr. Desmond did a job well done because he’s consistently observing while we’re drinking. He approached us twice and convinced us to change our drinks due to ice is already available. Kudos to your employee name Desmond and keep it up to hire same with him.“

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

“Absolutely LOVED the Ferrero latte!“

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

“Hello. I am the receptionist at IBM. Your company catered an event for us today. It was superb. The ice cream and the service was impeccable. The main source of the enjoyment, was the 2 young men you sent to service the event. They know their job very well. They knew the product, they were friendly, they engaged with everyone. From the executives to the staff, they made it a memorable experience and event. I didn’t catch their names, however their customer service skills, their attitude, their smiles were ALL ON POINT!!! These 2 young men deserve a raise and a commendation for their exceptional people skills and the knowledge of all the ice cream flavors and ingredients ?. I’m not sure which location they work from… Can you please pass this review to whichever location they work. Kudos to your company and more kudos to the 2 young men. Customer service at its finest????????“
