“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“

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

“I am eating a strawberry donut I bought ten minutes ago as I write this! I've been dying to stop at D&D's forever, so I brought my son today to get some donuts. The donuts are all HUGE and beautiful. She gave us free samples of the donut holes to try which my son loved. She explained every flavor and how long they keep and that we can freeze them.

These are the best donuts I've ever had!!! And I've had donuts all over Chicago. They're unbelievably soft and delicate. There is real fruit in the icing. This strawberry donut tastes like a fresh strawberry. My son had a great time and she was so kind to him. We will be back!! I want to try the massive apple fritter. 😭❤️“

“The customer service was excellent! The donuts were the best thing I have put in my mouth in years and they melted like butter. Do yourself a favor and get you some!“

“Donuts are fresh 10/10 recommend“

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

“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! ❤️“

“We tried this place on day 1 of our vacation and went back every day until we left! Great coffee drinks and the donuts are amazing. I personally thought this was the coolest looking location, but it's a little smaller than the others as far as seating.“

“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.“

“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. 😊 🙏“

“What a cute place. Pretty wide selection of donuts and well-made coffee. There are two tiny tables out front on the sidewalk but don’t expect to eat here. Perfect for grab and go or to take into the office. They even have a side window. The variety of flavors was pretty expansive but not too out there. Reasonably price for what we got and would definitely go back. I had the raspberry and blood orange filled donut and the filling was generous and high quality. Donut held together but was soft and yielding with a good sprinkling of granulated sugar.“

“While Stan's may be a chain, I wanted to take the time to write a review for this specific location and specifically a worker named Bobby. When I was about to order, a man who was very under the influence and acting very aggressively came into the store. Everyone was on edge, but with resolve and professionalism, Bobby approached the man and escorted him out with poise. He deescalated a very intense moment and returned to help us with our order right away. I was very grateful for Bobby and the way he protected customers. PLUS! My drink was awesome, ahah“

“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.“

“I’ve been here several times over the last few years and my family loves their donuts and especially the apple fritters. I wanted a slice of pizza and decided to try theirs . I wish I hadn’t. It seemed to be a cheap frozen box pizza only suitable for late night consumption by inebriated college students. Do go to Chicos and enjoy their donuts but skip the pizza. Your stomach will thank you.“

“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!“

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

“The mochi donuts were delicious—soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet. I also loved the variety of flavors and the unique presentation. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the visit even better. Definitely a must-try spot if you’re in Chicago, especially for anyone who loves creative desserts!“

“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 💯😘“

“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“

“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.“

“Donuts were great and good service“

“I DoorDash’d to my hotel cause my dinner wasn’t as good as I hoped. On first inspection, the bag had a nice weight and I only got two doughnuts. The classic glaze was perfectly iced and not overly sweet at all so I was very happy about that. I also got the vegan voodoo doll but was full from the first one, so it’ll be a midday snack on my drive back home. Will def visit again to try more!“

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

“Donuts are amazing! 💯 recommend“

“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.“

“coffee, awesome avocado egg. bagel sandwich“

“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“

“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.“

“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 ?‍♀️“

“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.“

“A latte and breakfast sammie on a bagel really hit the spot when my boyfriend and i stopped in here last weekend. The baristas were both friendly and attentive, and we liked the low key vibe in the cafe.

we will be back to try the empanadas!“

“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.“

“**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!“

“Went to their friends' and family event to get a free drink, and the staff were friendly and engaging. The atmosphere was inviting, lively, and fun.“

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

“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.“
