    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Goombah + Funky Monkey
    Jennifer N.

    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....

    Half s'mores half strawberry Nutella

    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!

    The best hot fresh donuts
    Anthony M.

    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?

    They gotta be good!
    Ben A.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

Black Sesame Matcha Latte - while the black sesame graininess settled at the bottom expectedly, the matcha was clearly whisked well. There were no clumps of bitterness to be found. Despite sugar adjustments, this was still very sweet so I'd classify the spot as more desserty rather than strong matcha or a cafe. Though I'm happy to be proven wrong with their regular matcha in the future.

I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.
