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

Beavers donuts are absolutely amazing! I first tried beavers when they had their donut truck at the University of Chicago. It was kind of a drive from the north side where I live, but totally worth it. I was so excited when they opened their location at the Chicago French market. They have so many delicious combinations that you can get. My favorite being the Nutella dream. The guys who work the truck and at the market are super friendly and always help me choose the best combinations considering my indecisiveness! I highly suggest trying out beavers donuts, along with the new donut truffles! 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

I was really excited to try this place out - I've heard so many good things about it, and so, when I had the chance, I took it. The place was located inside the French Market off of Clinton, and there are plenty of metered parking along the street. I was kind of bummed that they weren't more lenient in terms of getting a variety of the toppings for the mini donuts, but I guess it doesn't make sense to make each one all customized; we got a box of 15 minis, 5 each of the PB&J (peanut butter sauce and strawberry sauce), Goombah (cannoli toppings, and the So Krispy (marshmallow and rice krispies). The guy was pretty cool and even added chocolate sauce to the Goombah, which he said was his favorite way to eat them. The donuts were made fresh; you can see the little contraption of them frying in the oil, the little gadget sifting them out and them dumping them out to let the oil drip out; they were warm and it tasted like mounds of funnel cake. A cute place to stop by if you're having a donut craving or if you wanted to check this place out. I loved the little stuffed beaver toys all around and would like to try out the donut truffles next time! +friendly employees +located inside the French Market read more

So the donuts are good, warm and fresh. You apparently have the option of a free donut at every single food truck...who knew?? And in purchasing, the minimum amount you can order is 4 (but they often give you more). I've never gotten less than 6. The flavor options are sooo tempting (especially with toppings like smores) but ultimately they are too sugary and plain is the best. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Beaver donuts. I thought to myself ' pffft they only have one mini donut option and are basically selling the toppings, big whoop' I WAS WRONG! These puffy balls of fried goodness literally melt in your mouth! So good! I got the small set of 9 mini donuts for $4 topped with chocolate and sprinkles. I thought I would get tired of it half way through but I swear I literally inhaled them. The free toppings are powdered sugar, cinnamon, chocolate syrup. You'd think the syrup would make the donuts soggy but no they're friggin delicious. While beavers isn't my go-to but if I'm at the French market, I'll get some if I want something sweet! read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - 9 minis for $4 topped with chocolate syrup and sprinkles - Desserts Near Me

Inside of the French market so it's a semi-odd location for a place like this. Three stars because the shake I had was extremely thick and sweet. I did however get a free mini donut for checking in so I appreciated the yelp involvement. The donut shake is definitely worth a try! We've since then tried the turtle and the coco-loco and they did not disappoint. They are always so friendly here too! Really starting to love those mini donuts! read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Desserts Near Me

When you can smell the warmth of fresh donuts in the air, how can you resist? Maybe you can, I for one, can not. Beavers' food truck was situated just outside my office as I set the stresses of work aside as I exited the building. Beavers captivated me and I couldn't resist detouring my walk across the street to valet. I was excited to see that they had a mini donut offering. I could try several different flavors. I was happy to learn the basic toppings are free like powdered, cinnamon sugar. They have an extensive list of other toppings for an additional charge per donut. The employee was helpful and suggested tips for extra donuts. I scored 4 extra donuts! Woot! I had never heard of Beavers before but I know I will be going back! read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Desserts Near Me

If you're having a hard time finding it, it's inside of the French Market . First of all, the entire French market is adorable and has way more than French options (clearly, since they're selling donuts by beavers and not beignets). But we just wanted a snack and got the mini donuts topped with chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce, powdered sugar, and sprinkles. They were warm and melted in your mouth, I absolutely would've been able to eat 10 more, but we were on our way to lunch. read more

I need more! Beavers Donuts was recommended to me by a friend. The minute I saw their food truck, I ran. Unfortunately the food truck was done for the day, but it was parked right in front of Chicago French Market where they also sell donuts. These donuts are dangerous! They are so small, warm, soft and sweet that you can honestly eat 5 or 6 without even blinking. There are many different kinds of flavors and although they may be a little pricey, these donuts are still worth the try. If I ever go back to Chicago, I am definitely getting Beavers Donuts again! read more

Despite the fact that I have to go completely out of my way to try either of the Beavers Donuts two downtown locations, I've gone two days in a row. That should quickly tell you how much I liked the donuts. They're made fresh and they literally melt in your mouth. The donuts are so dang cute and because of their diminutive size, you will eat six of them before you know it. They have several combos that include coffee or toppings on the donuts. I myself eschew such overly sweet toppings and tend to go for the simple powdered or cinnamon sugar. Stuff like peanut butter and strawberry sauce just detract from the inherent pleasure of the donut itself. If I wanted that kind of stuff, I'd go eat at IHOP. The guys that work the truck are so sweet and friendly and both times I've ordered a half dozen, they've thrown in more than a few extra. If you "check-in" on Yelp, you get a free donut. Once everyone in line saw me do that, they all started whipping out their smart phones to take advantage. Another bonus: on your birthday, they give you a free half dozen. I'll never be so excited to turn another year older! read more

The donuts are mini. They are light and airy, and melt in your mouth. They also taste great. I got four cinnamon sugar topped ones with my coffee. They disappeared so fast I was ready to rush back to the food truck and buy a dozen more. I am not saying I did. I am also not saying I didn't. read more

The worst experience of my life. I had the unfortunate pleasure to try and get some Dounuts from this truck. The man working on this day July 24th 2018 at Millennium Park Bean was so unprofessional. They advertise that they sell coffee & Dounuts so I along with my wife children and friends from out of town came over. I inquired about the number of Dounuts and the various kinds they served. The man there said " If you don't know, then look up and read the sign"! I said "What did you say"? He said look when you're ready to order call me". I walked away then remembered to take a picture and call the company later. Which I did call the phone number. To no avail the situation wasn't handled properly or professionally. The company should look for business especially from the vast amount of CITY OF CHICAGO workers that visit. read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Please don't do business with them!!!! Unprofessional, Unacceptable, Unapologetic, and Unrealistic treatment of customers - Desserts Near Me

I am a donut loving freak and one of my enablers is Melanie S. She has been enjoying Beavers Donuts for quite a while and I have been pouting and wondering how the heck I will ever catch up with a food truck in the city when I live in the burbs. Then Saturday the sun, the moon and the donut stars all aligned for me. We were leaving Printers Row Lit Fest and turned the corner to go back to our car and a vision of nirvana appeared before my very eyes. The Beavers Coffee and Donuts truck was there in all its glory. (Cue the hallelujah chorus.) I scurried over and announced "I have been wanting to try your donuts all my life." (Fine I am prone to hyperbole when it comes to donuts.) We got a dozen, cinnamon sugar, turtle and strawberry. While we were waiting, we checked in and a check in offer popped up. I didn't want to look like a cheap skate as our order was being boxed up but they put in the check in offer donuts! Can you believe it? These people are psychic as well! They sensed that we had checked in! We went back to the car and scarfed down those warm little doughy bits of heaven and they were just as good as I had imagined they would be. No, they were better. BETTER! Donut perfection, oh yes. read more

A little pricey for small donuts, but very tasty! I think the fact that you can smell the truck from 3 blocks away is amazing haha read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Ohhhh yeah - Desserts Near Me

I should take away one star for the amount of fat grams that these little delicious devil donuts contain but I have a true out-of-body experience every single time my mouth is filled with their brilliant creations. These doughnuts are more like small, bite-sized, fried dough pieces. They are later loaded with either cinnamon or sugar (or both, if you dare) or toppings like chocolate or Peanut Butter, etc. I chose the traditional with cinnamon and omgah! They warrant a dance party! Like, literally, why aren't there people dancing around as I take a bite?? Delicious, simply delicious! Pair with coffee or milk and you will be set for the day with a true sweets food coma. Though I love big, normal doughnuts like at Firecakes, Beaver has himself a new fan, for sure. I hope to contain myself though OR ELSE (insert pig emoticon here). Go! You will not regret it. read more

I just paid $5 for 6 munchins. The set up is cool. There is an automated donut making robot to the left so everything is made to order. It even flips the donuts onto a serving try, so all the workers have to do is add whatever topping you need. Talk about easy money! The donuts themselves are very good. Slight crispiness and doughy but light. The problem comes with the price. Lets be real here. These workers aren't getting up in the middle of the night, gathering the finest ingredients from around the world, and using intricate techniques and putting tons of work into these little guys like a Do-Rite or Glazed and Infused. Instead there is a dude who mixes flour, milk, and eggs into a machine. That machine drops munchin sized dollops into the grease and does all of the work. Then the generic syrups you find near the ice cream at Jewel Osco gets stingily poured on top, and it's thrown into a plain brown box. So why the hell am I paying $5 for 6 of these? The donuts vary in size and some can be very small. So sure they threw in an extra 2, but I think they do it to compensate for the tiny ones rather than because of whimsical generosity. Speaking for myself if I only got 6 then I would have been pretty damn pissed. The added component price of upping the munckin quotient is marginal at best. So I think if they double the quantity(which isn't a hard demand considering how small they are) many would go every morning. But despite how tasty they are, this is a level of rip-off that's excessive even for the French Market. read more

Move over Wheaties, I've got a new breakfast of champions and it's served on a food truck. Thanks to a tip from Joyce C., I hit up Beavers Donuts on my way to the office and enjoyed a great treat to start my day. Each two-bite donut is fried to order, comes out hot and crisp, then simply melts in your mouth. I kept it simple on my first trip and had the cinnamon sugar. They're just like warm mini-churro bites. I'll have to try their gourmet toppings next time around. A half dozen was the perfect size, but I'd be hard pressed to stop myself from eating a whole dozen. Follow them on twitter and stop by if they land in your 'hood. A little coffee and donuts starts your morning off right! read more

They call them donuts, I call them heaven! This is a food truck that makes fresh hot donuts made to order. I think the word "donut" doesn't really describe what they are. When you think donut, images of unappetizing greasy slabs of fried dough comes to mind. What you get from Beavers, is fresh hot made to order pastry with a variety of amazing toppings you get on the "donut". I had the basic chocolate powder donuts and they were awesome. I noticed they had some toppings that involved nutella which I am looking forward to trying the next time they are in the River North area. read more

It's been a month since I first spotted this truck and let my buddy Eric V. in on this mobile sweet station. This past month he and Anna P. have taunted me with their multiple emails about their multiple delicious visits, and I'd missed every opportunity to sample their melt-in-your mouth goodness. But not today- in yo face(s)!! :) These warm fluffy donuts are awesome. Definitely once they hit your mouth they disintegrate, much like cotton candy. I got to try the cinnamon and the "grandma" (honey and graham cracker), and the coffee. The donut guy in the truck says that this is a special kinda cuban coffee that they serve. All yum. So I'm glad this truck is making its rounds around my work hood, but also glad it's infrequent. It's pricey at about $7 a dozen, or $4 for 3 donuts and a coffee. This will probably not stop me from raiding the truck on a regular basis, however, eeek!! read more

I always notice the Beaver food truck across the street from my office and I have never tried it before. I noticed they were on my Giftie app and I decided to give them a try this morning for breakfast. The mini donuts are so cute and delicious! One major thing I love is that they are served warm. I got the four mini donuts for $2.00 and added a topping to each one of them for a $1.00 extra a donut. There's a great variety of toppings to choose from and they were yummy! read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Desserts Near Me

Never thought I was a donut fan before the aroma of the truck piqued my interest. It's 8 a.m. in Chicago and the aroma is whipped around by strong May winds which keep returning to a blue truck decorated in beavers, or bears, or some other mammal - who cares. All I can think of is following that decadent chocolate aroma while rummaging through my purse for my wallet. A line is formed at the truck. Can't imagine why! Beavers Donuts are the epitome of what might be a donut in heaven. Made right in front of you as you order, they hand you a box that's hot and bursting with a fresh baked aroma you carry around town to your destination. I got the chocolate - 15 chock-full-of-flavor (large) nuggets for $6 - and just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth of my colleagues and I. For a buck more, they had some interesting flavors from Nutella and strawberry sauce and nutella to cannoli topping & crumbled pastry shells to everything in between. What's nice is that Beavers Donuts stand alone. Just their plain donuts with chocolate, cinnamon or powdered granulated sugar toppings are free, adding just enough extra flavor to an already awesome plain donut. There's really nothing remotely similar to Beavers Donuts! Nothing! read more

It's fried dough slathered in teeth ruining, diabetes causing goodness run by the friendliest folks on a food truck, people. What's not to love? The best part is that they continue to innovate and create, like their pumpkin pie donuts. Delicious. Free donut with check in! read more

Dear Beaver Donut Truck, I want to start a fan club and name it 'Eager Beaver's". Why do your donuts have to be so yummy and delicious? I love that when I order the 4 mini's you give me 5 just because. The PBJ is my fav... but really everything is done to perfection. I wish I could eat them every day... If you are in downtown Chicago this truck is a must. And they can be eaten anytime....not just for breakfast. Just so good..... they are good all the time!!! read more

Once I got over the pure SHAME of tracking their donut truck down 2 mornings in a row, sheepishly ordering my 1 dozen (I shared with someone, I SWEAR!!) cinnamon and sugar adorable little mini donuts...I decided to get over it and proclaim to the world, I love Beavers! ....ok wait a minute... I haven't really been all that into the whole food truck scene. But when you're trudging to work in the morning, with all the unpleasant smells of both the Blue Line and the Subway (that sour yeasty deli meat smell hits ya right in the face) right at the entrance of Wells/Lake, the pleasant, mouth-watering aromas of freshly fried donuts triggered me right out of my morning coma. The peeps at Beavers are so friendly and down to earth, and helpful about deciding which flavors to try. I was cautious, I didn't want to take a risk on their gourmet donut toppings...best to try the cinnamon sugar first. YUM. I'm full on going for the Strawberry Bella next time. BTW's, I did a little sleuthy peeking around inside and the kitchen is VERY clean and orderly, my kinda place. Give it a try, you can find them on Twitter and they'll post their locations usually somewhere in the loop for a few hours in the morning. read more

There was no line, but rain may have been the reason. I got a half dozen regular, two each of cinnamon, powdered sugar and chocolate powder. They actually gave me seven total, so that was a bonus. As another reviewer said, these are barely bigger than munchkins. They are light, have a good flavor, and are not at all greasy, in other words exactly as a good donut should be. The only thing I can't get over is that even with an extra, those seven tiny donuts didn't total one from Glazed and Infused, which is now my donut gold standard. $4 for the equivalent of one donut is a ripoff. In fact the box felt so light I almost opened it there to make sure I hadn't been shortchanged. The quality of the product alone is worth four stars, but the exceptionally poor value gets a one star deduction. read more

I decided to give the little beaver food truck a chance because I smell their delicious fried donuts every single damn morning on my way to work and always want to stop by. But I resisted their donuts this morning (don't worry, I'll definitely try them out) and opted for the iced coffee instead. it was good but it tasted a little watered down and was filled with a lot of ice which made me feel like I wasn't getting my money's worth. For a medium cup it ran me exactly $4, which to justify the price the cup either has to be huge or the coffee better give me a religious experience. Unfortunately, neither one occurred. I should have stuck with the hot coffee. I'll update my review when i go back for some donuts! read more

Even in an age when, thankfully, once a month trips down to the spa for the fairer sex to get "the treatment" are pretty much compulsory and beavers are practically on the endangered list (good riddance!), it's still possible to track yourself down some beavers in this town - at Beavers Donuts. I'm never trendy, but for the donut trend and treatment trend I am totally on board, hoping there's never, ever an end of the line. Beavers Donuts is the Danica Patrick of donut shops: tiny, fast, racy, sweet, hot, delicious and a winner. Beavers basically sells donut holes with regular toppings like powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, chocolate and also a host of fancy type toppings. My rule with sweets shops is to start with the simple flavors. I asked the guy if I could nix the coffee included in the three donuts and a coffee for three bucks deal and just get donuts, and the guy accommodated me with four or five freshly fried mini donuts minus the coffee for two bucks altogether. Verdict? Danica Patrick. But I wouldn't exactly call their prices a steal or even a deal. For the two bucks I paid for four or five donuts, I'd call it a cheap buzz that left me wanting more. At six bucks for a dozen, you're getting into pricey range because these Beavers balls are pretty small. But I'll definitely be back for a fix and maybe to try the coffee. Four logs up. read more

It's crazy how delicious some simple donuts and coffee can be. But Beavers' got it goin' on. They have a stand at the French Market, which is how I found out about them in the first place. My boss bought some donuts, I tried one, and it was one of the best things ever. It practically melted in my mouth. And then I got really excited when I realized they have a truck that parks in front of my building almost every morning! I don't get the donuts all the time, because they're dangerously addictive, but when I do, it makes my morning better. It's about a 5 minute wait before you get your order, but it's worth it. The prices are awesome. You can get a mini (4 donuts) for $2, a small (9 donuts) for $4, and a medium (15!) for $6. I always get the cinnamon topping. The little donuts get rolled around in a bowl with that cinnamon and it's absolutely delightful. If you're really feeling crazy, they have a ton of options for flavors for a dollar more: s'mores, peanut butter, chocolate, etc. I like their coffee too. It's a Cuban blend and it's nice and strong. The iced coffee is $4 and comes in one size. They have hot coffee available too for $2 and $4 for a small and large, respectively. As long as the truck comes rollin' down the street, I'll keep frequenting. read more

Ok soooo. I nought 2 minis one with cinnamon and one with nutella. I had all the intentions of saving some for my kids but I didn't even make it 10 steps when some animal came out and just devoured them these things will literally get you hooked.

The donut holes get all the love here, but I usually stop by Beaver's after a trip to Fumare (home to the Montreal-smoked pastrami sandwich, a candidate for best sandwich alive) not for the donuts, but for the Cuban coffee. The coffee (like the donuts) is kind of pricey, at $3 for a small and $4 for a large. It's regular drip coffee, "Cuban-ized", and I can't describe why I like it so much. The Cuban influence is very subtle, if present at all--the drink isn't a cafecito, but rather a coffee that's just a little bit infused with sweetness, perhaps a cinnamon sugar. The donuts are fun, too. If I do order donuts, I dust them with the cinnamon sugar. However, you can get quite fancy, and at this last visit, I had to wait an extra fiver because the elderly gentlemen in front of me decided to add a strawberry cheesecake order at the last second, all of which is made on the spot. read more

So I recently had the chocolate on chocolate donuts and turtles donuts at a recent Yelp event. Not only were they warm, but they were like little bites of Heaven. I was hesitant to try the Turtles donuts with caramel, chocolate, and nuts topping. That was quickly forgotten when I popped the first one in my mouth. It was so good I had to stop and reflect. I quickly wanted more and more. The people serving on the truck were very nice and hospitable. Beavers will definitely be getting more of my money because I have my eyes on the Reese's donuts next. read more

My kids have been going to Beavers Donuts for a few years with my mother. They are always asking for me to take them and I never understood what the big deal was. Well now I know! Beavers Donuts is a small counter in the French Market (just under the Metra). They make their donuts fresh and then add the desired toppings right there on the spot. The donuts are small bite size little things but they pack loads of flavor. I got a box of 15 for $6 and to me it seemed like a good value. It was an even better value after I tasted them! My experience with the person behind the counter was awesome "what a great guy". He was helpful and just all around a nice guy. It is no surprise to me now why my kids were raving about the place. I learned two things from this experience. First, Beavers Donuts ROCKS. Second, I should listen to my kids more especially when it comes to donuts. read more

Beavers Coffee Donuts - Desserts Near Me

Stopped by their food truck on Jackson one day and was very happy with my lil mini donuts. They're nice and soft and come in so many different flavors! I also paired them with a small coffee just because it seems fitting and it was great. Good price for what I got and the mini and small make it seem almost guilt-free because they're so cute and tiny. Would definitely recommend getting one of each flavor you're interested in, and especially even just the classic cinnamon sugar because the dough honestly just melts in your mouth. I only gave 4 stars though because after a while they tasted the same (even flavored) but that could've just been a personal preference thing. Again, still super delicious and would definitely recommend for you or your friends. read more
