Didn’t find it worth any hype. Very average donuts, Krispy Kreme is tastier

Some of the worst donuts I’ve ever had! These literally taste just like store-bought from a grocery store if I blindfolded you and had you taste a bite between this and a store-bought you would not be able to tell the difference

I feel like years ago these were better but wow this embarrassing how bad this is. The yeast raised donuts are thick and dense they’re supposed to be light and airy

Classic old fashioned pistachio was Devine.

A super unique spot to try for a doughnut.

Tiny little place with a limited choice of doughnuts. Cake and jelly were both tasty and staff is nice.

Absolutely iconic doughnut shop nestled in the side of a building. Doughnuts are likely the best you’ll have and you may not be able to help but return 😉. Getting there as early as possible is wise, as they sell out most mornings!

Great donuts, just go. Stop reading and get your donuts before they run out!

Had a heavy, greasy lemon poppyseed old fashioned - too tart, too few poppyseeds. Very disappointing.

Tried the vanilla glaze doughnut. Donuts are very large and fluffy. Probably my favorite donut spot next to Beacon Doughnuts. Seems like they sell out of flavours fast during the week so get there early!

The Doughnut Vault is absolutely worth the hype! Every donut was fresh, delicious, and well worth getting up early before they sell out. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. A must-visit in Chicago!

Very friendly server, explained every doughnut they had available. The old fashioned doughnut was definitely by far my favourite, but the glazed was also very tasty. The coffee was a lovely accompaniment. Tables outside made it a nice and relaxing start to the morning.

I love donuts and have to sample a wider selection to lock in this rating, but the special ‘strawberry with lemon curd’ was heavy and messy. Nothing popped. The crowd can go to mild to huge in an instant. The price is 2x standard donuts. Truly, I’m missing why this is beloved. Again, I need a wider pick next time.

Best donuts. Every trip to Chicago ends with a stop at the vault on my way to the airport. Always try the daily special.

It is a nice area with great customer service and a nice calm vibe. Also the food was amazing and not overpriced.
