Donuts were delicious. The service was great and they were very fast. The donuts were hot and made to order 10/10. read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Turtle flavor and S'mores flavor - Desserts Near Me

Delicious hot donuts were perfect for our party on a very cold night! Would definitely hire again!

We ordered a mini which came with 4 bites. We were only allowed to choose from the basic toppings: cinnamon, granulated, powered, and chocolate. I like that they're small because you can have more than usual and not feel like a pig that is too full. Everyone that tried them in my party enjoyed them! One of my friends even made the comment "why would you ever go to Dunkin' Donuts if you have this?!" However, what turned me off from this place were the employees. They weren't super friendly and seemed a tad impatient. Maybe this was due to a handful of customers all lining up and ordering at the same time. read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Mini - Desserts Near Me

I'm officially hooked on these freshly made mini donuts. Beavers Donut is located right inside The French Market on Clinton Street. You can even track down a Beaver's Truck online if your carvings gets too bad. The Beavers Blue Trucks are very easily to find on the corners of Chicago Downtown streets. Located in the back of The French Market. I was impressed to watch these deliciously mini donuts fried right before my eyes. Than watch while chocolate caramel nuts and marshallow were drizzle on top. It was heaven sent. I ordered the 9 mini donuts for $5.00 but they charge a $1.00 extra for the special flavor toppings. I tried the Reeses, Smores and Turtle toppings. All 3 flavors had me on a sugar high. Freshly deep fried right in front of you and coated with any toppings of your choice. The prices are well worth a delicious mini yummy treat. I guarantee that its a must I go back and try the other flavors. Very addictive. So, far the turtle and Reeses toppings are my fav. read more

I love you Beavers Donuts. You and your cute powdered self. So small yet so damn tasty and so soft that you melt in my mouth. Just the perfect bite size of happiness. Every time I have these I can't have just one, or two, or three. I need to have the whole box! Last night at the Yelp event, you were there and I tasted the turtle flavored donut. Also delicious but nothing can compare to the powder flavor. If you see this food truck anywhere near you, flag it down and get some! I warn you though - they are highly addictive! read more

This place is so good that it shouldn't even be legal. First, the people who were working there were super friendly. They were upbeat, quick, and were joking around and making small talk. It was a very pleasant ordering and waiting experience, which I didn't find at other stalls at the French Market. I ordered a Goombah Donut Shake- that is, a shake topped with a donut and filled with cannoli cream and crumbled cannoli chells. The woman who made it recommended adding caramel to it, so I trusted her judgement. This $5.50 was the best money I spent all day at the market. It was so sweet and rich and honestly, everything good in the world. It's impossible to frown while drinking one. I wish I had bought it as a dessert instead of to go with my grilled cheese... But you live and you learn. If you're here, get a shake. You won't regret it, and you'll get a good bang for your buck. read more

Cute alert! My hubby and I recently stopped by a local Arbor Day festival in our community. The Beavers Coffee & Donuts truck was ready to serve us on a cold, yet sunny Saturday morning. We ordered up mini donut bites. A small order included nine super delicious, lightly crispy, donuts. Free donut toppings included, cinnamon, powdered sugar, and chocolate powder. If you want special toppings, they are an additional charge starting at $1 per topping. We also ordered up a cup of Metropolis Coffee. It was perfect with a smooth finish on a nice cold sunny day. The guys running the truck are super nice and quick to serve. read more

I go here at least once a month to buy doughnuts for people at work and for the wife. I usually don't eat them because my cholesterol is just too high. I have had the powdered doughnuts and the turtle. All that I have tried are delicious. I also note that the powdered doughnuts are cheap. I can get like 50 for $20. read more

Disclaimer ... Significant other went to the Ravinia Food Truck night and brought some of these donuts to me at work (just 15 min away). So sweet, I know so perhaps I need to try these fresh from the truck (they were still slightly warm). Had the s'mores and turtle toppings. The turtle was just ok. Not very flavorful considering the chocolate. The S'mores were much better (I will try anything s'mores flavored!) but not the best donut I've ever had but not the worst either. I would hope a donut could handle not being eaten immediately and still be tasty a little after purchasing. My significant other thinks maybe it's just an off night because he said they are normally so much better (that's why he got them for me) but I can only give a review off of what I have tried. I hope to get back to food truck night before the end of the season and hopefully they will be there so I can try them fresh fresh, not 15 min later. read more

The donuts are not great, but good enough for me to return if I'm need a sweet snack and in that market. The reason why they lost a lot of stars in my review is that the past few times I went there they shorted me by the number of donuts I ordered and their service is not good. Also there were times when they included donuts that somewhat isn't whole, not fully cooked or messed up when cooking. I now asked if they had the correct amount in. Just recently the server says "Sure", I asked three times and she had the same answer "Sure"... I checked and true enough, I was missing some. No apologies nothing, rude customer service. The quality control and customer service is very much lacking. Very disappointing... read more

Ordered a dozen gourmet donuts for 4 people with Funky Monkey toppings and Goombah toppings. Very sweet! They were tasty, but I think eating 2 would've been enough. I liked the Funky Monkey over the Goombah, but probably because I think Cannolis are okay.... read more

Finally, FINALLY came by their donut truck! Overall, I thought it was good but really not anything special. The donut holes were crispy and warm by itself but I think any half decent donut place should be able to do that. I topped my donuts off with half smores and half strawberry nutella but essentially my donuts were just drizzled in all kinds of sauces (chocolate, marshmallow, strawberry, and nutella) and topped with smushed graham crackers. The sauces reminded me of the same ones you would put on your ice cream sundae. After I self-hyped it up for myself, I probably won't be stopping by again. I'm just more of a fan of whole donuts without all these liquid sauces on top! read more

ADDICTED TO DOUGH If I was going to be addicted to anything it would be these tiny donuts. They are truly amazing and are always hot & ready to go. They even sell them to you in a little brown bag, that just feels bad or like I am doing something wrong. I recently got off Metra, after riding on the train for an hour & 40 minutes and cut through the French Market. First that was a big mistake because all of the smells in here are amazing. As I walked by Beavers Donuts, I was pulled in like a tractor beam. There was the cute mini donut conveyor belt machine that makes the donuts. Hot oil just bubbling in the air giving off the scent of deep fried dough. It is a smell that everyone loves. They should bottle that up and sell it. Then there's a giant stack of freshly cooked mini donuts sitting under a heating lamp looking all innocent like a puppy in a window. Maybe I will just get one but the next thing you know you have five and the staff is asking you what would you like them dipped in. The choices are: Cinnamon/Sugar, Powdered Sugar, Chocolate Sugar and Sugar. Can we mix all 4 and make a super sugary donut? I went with the usual and chose the Cinnamon/Sugar mix. The hot fresh naked donuts are then thrown into the bowl and there oily little dough body sucks up the sugary mixture. Then they are put into a little brown bag like some back alley illegal donut deal is about to go down. I walked away with the intentions of bringing them home but I put my hand in the bag and felt the hot donut touch my skin. Maybe I will eat just one. I pop it in my mouth, before I even hit the exit quickly snapping a photo to share my guilty pleasure with all of my social friends. Instant moment of Zen as the flavors hit my tastebuds. I look at the photo and I know I can do better. I pull out the remaining 4 donuts and set up a photo shoot at one of the tables near the exit. I get the perfect shot in one try. Then it hits me. These guys were meant to be eaten hot and fresh. I would be doing a disservice to mini hot donuts everywhere if I shoved them back in the bag. So I did what any good person would do and proceeded to put them away in my mouth one by one. Am I addicted? No I can quit at any time. The problem is that they also have a mobile food truck and I think they may be following me. I have visions of them on every street corner pushing these hot mini delicious circles of sugary coated dough. Why are you haunting me delicious hot mini sugary donut? Why? read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - The best hot fresh donuts - Desserts Near Me

Dammit Beaver Donuts! Why did you have to go and ruin things? It wasn't too long ago when you were just a food truck where I would serendipitously cross paths with you and have you as an occasional treat. Now that you have a station PERMANENTLY PARKED at the French Market I can have your delicious, fluffy, sweet treats I can have your delectable donuts ANY TIME I WANT! Now when I only was looking to get soup from your neighbor, I get lured from the sweet cinnamon smells from your booth. So not so many thanks a lot Beaver Donuts!! My waistline hates this location!...but my Tate buds LOVE it :-) read more

Desserts and sugary edibles aren't my favorite, but I gotta say these donuts are truly amazing!! What makes them so good is the fact they are made to order and still hot in the box. If you visit their location in the French Market you can watch them make your order. Their donuts are bite size, similar to DD munchkins so no mess. They have a variety of flavor options (i.e., cinnamon sugar, powdered, chocolate, etc.) which are free and some signature flavors/toppings for a little extra. You can buy single portions (about 4) and larger portions. P.S. They also have a food truck roaming the streets! read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - They gotta be good! - Desserts Near Me

I have seen the cutesy Beavers Donuts truck about town, but I have only been to the stand in the French Market. This may be a little known fact, but if you go on your birthday you can get a free box of their donuts. The server's eyes probably bugged out when he verified my birthday on my ID ("oldest dude to get free donuts"), but he calmly served me a fresh box of mini donuts with the "Turtle" flavor (chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and chopped pecans). I was planning to take the box to go, but I promptly sat down in the communal seating area and gobbled them all down. These treats were gooey and delicious with all of the ingredients slathered over the scrumptious spheres. read more

We had a truck show up to our job as our workplace wanted to treat us to donuts and coffee! The idea was great. The donuts themselves were tiny but pretty good. Mine happened to be soft but not warm. My main complaint is that the food truck only had one single guy doing the entire job on his own. You'd think that they'd have at least 2-3 people working to fulfill donut and coffee orders for a company of over 200 employees. Having to wait 30 minutes for some donuts in a line of about 10-15 employees was ridiculous. read more

We got powdered, chocolate and cinnamon. It's best to have them while the donuts are warm. I got a free donut when I checked in on Yelp. The small donuts were yummy but a bit too small. They should make them larger to truly satisfy big eaters. read more

I was surprised by the good texture of the donuts even though I didn't get them fresh off the conveyor belt. It was annoying that they didn't tell me they were out of Goombah until after I paid. I ended up getting Reese's, cinnamon sugar, S'mores, and fluffernutter. The flavors were good, but not great. They all seemed to meld together, none of them were distinct. The staff were friendly enough and weren't annoyed it took me awhile to decide what I wanted. read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Desserts Near Me

Donuts are very small but with 4 for the price of $3 they're worth it. Not the best donuts you will ever have (I typically prefer old-fashioned style) but pretty good, the cinnamon are especially tasty. Coffee is metropolis (so it's good) but the sizes might be surprising. Their medium is the size of your average small (please switch to normal sizes). All in all, it's pretty good. I may try it again. read more

My brother and I tried this donut truck after our lovely meal at Big and Little's. Although the specialty donuts looked and sounded tempting, the real showstopper was the classic cinnamon and sugar. The donuts were the perfect fried delivery system for the sugary topping, and the donuts were light and fluffy on the inside. Just perfect. We also ordered the Smores, which were drizzled with chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker crumbs. The chocolate wasn't that great-- it tasted more like Hershey's syrup from the bottle. So my verdict is -- damn good! But stick to the classics. read more

The best donut I've ever had. They're not the overwhelming "omg I'm eating the size of my face in trans fat" type of donuts. These are small donut bites and they're absolutely decadent. My coworker and I physically turned around to get more when we first tried them. After a long and crappy morning at work, we needed a pick me up and these were exactly what hit the spot. We got chocolate and cinnamon, honestly I'm sure every single flavor is incredible. read more

Best Coffee + Best Donuts = Best Day Ever! These guys give me the morning fortitude to challenge the shitstorm days I regularly face armed with a smile and and a great mood! I cannot recommend them highly enough when it comes to heavenly flavored empty carb intake. So if you have a big question mark floating over your head as to whether you're going to have a good day or not, visit these guys! Their mini-donuts are little bite sized deep-fried mouth pleasure bombs where you can decide what topping you want on them. They have messy topping so make sure you get plenty of napkins. I've ended up mostly ordering the cinnamon & sugar because I can wipe the sticky off on my pants. The marshmallow in the s'mores dries white so I stay awake from it even though it's taste is orgasmic! All of this said, I cannot visit them too regularly because I will balloon up to 300+ pounds in a few months, develop diabetes, lose my job, fall into despair, and die a broken man. So I have worked out a shaky system of only visiting them irregularly when my sweet tooth takes over my brain. Regardless, go here and eat with pleasure! They're the best! read more

I thought it would be gross, but it was delish with just the right sized chunks of donut mixed in with the creamy ice cream. F**KING FANTASTIC.

Beavers Donuts is now The Dapper Doughnut. Different logo, but same amazingly good freshly made mini doughnuts. They have a wide variety of flavors including cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, chocolate powered sugar, nutella, strawberry, smores, turtle, and pb. Cinnamon sugar and turtle are our favorites. They make these addicting doughnut milkshakes with crushed up mini doughnuts and a whole mini donut over the straw. Whipped cream optional. After having the turtle one, I'm always craving more. It's always such a nice treat. read more

Oh my god! I came here with a friend because they were featured on Chicago's Best (a tv show). Having not heard of them before, I decided to visit the French Market and try some. Now, I gotta admit, whenever a show or anyone, for that matter, say something is "the best" I tend to be disappointed. I tried the pb&j and powdered sugar. Had I not seen the guy prepare them fresh, I would have said they were crafted my Jesus himself! My only regret was getting the smallest size ! After eating 4, I really wish I had gotten 9 instead and one in every flavor!!! This place is really great and truly one of Chicago's Best. read more

I went to their location in the French market. It's a nice stand, probably the best looking stand in the market. It's a good donut, very small in size so a half dozen is equivalent to 1.5 donuts. They make it fresh so it tastes really nice. But aside from the freshness, there isn't anything special about them. read more

I LOVE BEAVERS DONUTS! They are definitely best fresh when they are airy and hot. They fry them and give them to you hot so they're best if you eat them right away. My all time favorite topping so far is the reese's which has-- you guessed it-- chocolate and peanut butter drizzle. But the free sugar toppings are yummy too. Beavers has mini donuts so it helps you feel like you're getting a bite sized snack while still getting that donut-y goodness. read more

While having lunch at the Chicago French Market we swung over the Beaver's for dessert and very much enjoyed our donuts! Décor: (See my review of Chicago French Market) Staff: The guy was quiet, but friendly and super nice (we ordered a "mini" and he gave us a few extra!) Food: The donuts, or "donut holes" rather (due to their size), are delicious! We had the regular sugar/cinnamon, powdered sugar, and chocolate and they were all outstanding! Plus they are the perfect size to just pop in your mouth. Ours came out semi-fresh/hot but they were still fantastic. Value: These things run pretty cheap and are well worth it (even if they are only a one-bite-and-gone kind of thing). We're BIG fans of Beavers and will always come back for more! (not to mention stop by the food truck when we see it around The Loop) read more

I love these donut holes! The pricing is a little bit confusing, but basically you pay for a set of donut holes and a set of toppings. So if you buy a mini (4 donuts) for $2 and just add powdered sugar or chocolate it's $2. If they are all Smore it's $3. If three are Smore and one is Turtle (or 2 and 2 or whatever), it's $4, and so forth. I've had the Smore, Turtle and Strawberry Bella and they've all tasted amazing. And sometimes they "mistakenly" throw in an extra donut for you. These guys have recently been hanging out on the weekends by Mary Bartelme park in west loop, right near the dog park. read more

Light, fluffy -- airy donuts with a variety of toppings and a relatively good but not too strong coffee. I didn't dislike the food at all, but it is pricey for what you're getting -- in an area with tons of bakery and donut competition. read more

Why can't you bring your mini donuts of heaven to the suburbs???? So good! I'm not a big dessert person, but when I saw the long line for the truck at the Pilsen Food Truck Social, I assumed it was something I should try out. It was a bit of a wait to get the donuts once you ordered them, but it is well worth it. Those little mini donuts-yes, mini donuts, not donut holes, but actually tiny little donuts-were soooooo delicious! We ordered 9 donuts-half were powdered donuts and half were drizzled with strawberry sauce and Nutella. My husband and I were fighting over the last one. I will track you down again one day, mini donut truck of shock and awe and deliciousness! read more

Zomg! Where has this place been all my life? I thought I knew what a good donut was, until I tried one of their delectable, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth morsels of chocolately, graham cracker amazingness. I was going to get the chocolate and sprinkles but the guy taking my order told me that was one of their more "boring" choices and recommend the s'mores instead. Woah. It's the kind of good where one second your plate is full and the next second there are only crumbs. Unless you try to eat them all like I did. I got my order from the food truck but the donuts were still pillowy soft. The ingredients are put on the donuts once you order so no sogginess. Not much wait time and prices are very reasonable. I plan on going to the storefront soon so I can enjoy these babies while they're still warm. read more

I've for the longest wanted to try these donuts for a long time. Now that they've opened up next door to work, I just had to try them! I ordered a dozen gourmet donuts with two gourmet toppings. One topping was Smores which is chocolate sauce, marshmallow sauce, and graham crackers crumbs. Second topping was Strawberry Bella which is strawberry sauce and graham cracker crumbs. All the donuts were delish! Donuts were fresh out of the fryer, warm, soft, just aching to be scarfed down! They were on the small size, well, about 1/4th of regular run-of-the-mill donuts or slightly bigger than a munchkin. Price is higher as well...but you know what, it was well worth it. Overall, delicious donuts, okay prices, friendly service. Will definitely stop by again! read more

Pretty yummy doughnuts. The ones I had were mini. I would say they were kind of pricey for what we got. 5 mini doughnuts and a hot chocolate. This was $6. The fifth doughnut was because I checked in and got a free one. While they were tasty I felt like I shoulda felt like I had something more substantial for that price. They seemed fresh but not exactly warm. I know that it was a limited menu for the event we were at. I would give them a second chance though. We had powdered sugar and chocolate doughnuts. read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Desserts Near Me

They may not be the best counters, but they do make a fine doughnut. I've known about Beavers Donuts for a while, back since they were one of the first food trucks to actually make their food on-board. With the recent doughnut craze, a craze I fully support, it took me a while to get around to Beavers. The first time I saw Beavers within reach was filled with excitement and frustration. Excited for a chance to try the doughnuts, frustration because I was late to an appointment and didn't think they'd be there when I finished. Fortunately, I was wrong and was able to snag a few on my way back to work. I've scored Beavers twice now, I think they may have put my little corner of the loop on their regular truck rotation. Other than knowing they served mini doughnuts, I knew little else about Beavers. Turns out you can opt for a half dozen, full dozen, regular or gourmet doughnuts. Overwhelmed by the gourmet options, I've stuck to the regular ones thus far - chocolate, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. The doughnuts are wonderful - fresh, airy, and the perfect sized bite of flavor. Both visits, I've been pleasantly surprised to find more than the half dozen I ordered. Not much bigger than a doughnut hole, it's easy to reach into their cute little box to find you've already scarfed them all up! read more

Definitely a niche novelty. Underwhelming after the fact. The donuts lack uniformity; you'll see it if you witness the small scale Krispy-Kreme wannabe apparatus that fries the donut batter. Kind of makes you feel cheated when you see the varying shapes. 2 points for variety of topping options, but the Nutella donut? Is that really Nutella? Because the consistency was like they just used chocolate syrup. I was so sad to see the amount of deformed or undonutshaped rejects sitting in the garbage. The guy working seemed to notice my expression since he topped the garbage with a container to cover the blatant waste. The least they could do is sample out the rejects, or what I truly wish they'd do is box up the rejects and give them away to the shelters or the homeless. What a shame. read more

I've been to the truck at two of their Loop locations (Wabash and Van Buren & Franklin and Calhoun) and I have been super impressed with these delicious donut holes. I'm definitely including Beavers into my weekly donut trips. On my first trip, I sampled their half dozen of the Nutella Dream, which are their donut holes topped with strawberry sauce and Nutella. I got 3 extra with my order. I also checked in on Yelp and got a free plain donut. The guy on the truck told me that they will give a free one to anyone who asks for me. So, I guess you don't have to check in, but let's face it, if you are like me, you will check in anyway. I ate the plain one first - mainly because I wanted to see what they tasted like without any toppings and also because it was on top. It tasted delicious especially since it was still warm after my short walk back to my office. The outside had a slight crunch to it and the dough was light and airy. You can definitely eat several in a row before you even begin to feel the least bit full. On my second trip, I braved the rain and cold to try a half dozen of the Strawberry Bella, which are their donut holes topped with a strawberry sauce and graham cracker crumbs. I preferred this one over Nutella Dream since it was a little less sweet. The graham cracker crumbs added more crunch. Again, the donut holes were cooked well - a little crunchy on the outside and warm and doughy on the inside. The only downside was that I had to walk for quite a while to get to my office and they would have tasted better had I eaten them when they were fresher. Oh, but you can make them last the whole day like I do. I'll snack on some every now and then. Quality wise, they are still OK, but of course, they would be better fresh. The guys on the truck are nice especially for it being super early in the morning when I visit. Price wise, they are definitely more expensive than other donut shops in the Loop. But, it's worth it since they have the best donut holes in the Loop! However, it would be nice if they had an option to do a half dozen split with the regular and gourmet flavors. Bottom line, visit this truck or stop by their French Market location to sample their delicious goodies! read more

Doing more #DonutFest prep, I stopped by Beavers this morning to sample the goods. Incredibly tasty, got the mini (four donuts for $2), with the four standard sugary offerings in the base menu, which included a cinnamon, a sugar, a powdered sugar and a chocolate-covered sugar munchkin. All were excellent, and all were hot, just the way I like them. I like getting doughnuts first thing in the morning when they are fresh, so if you roll up at 7 AM like I did, you will be happy. I think the Beavers donuts are too small for me as my long-term go-to, this is more of a "I need donuts now and don't want to fall asleep as soon as I try to start my work day" size. For some of you, that's fine, but Firecakes and Glazed & Infused are more my size preference than Beavers, Endgrain or other small treats. But the Beavers donut is the most price-appropriate of the small donuts I've tried in Chicago. My office is around the corner, so I will be back! read more
