    A rock in our corn dog
    Yeritza E.

    We usually look forward to going to dear donuts but today I found a rock in a bite that I took and It was literally a rock!

    Mom enjoyed her strawberry cream filled donut.

    Great addition to the St. Charles area! The inside of the shop is adorable, and the staff was super kind and patient despite a long line. The donuts are fantastic--very fresh, not too heavy, and filled to perfection. I took off one star only because they can sell out of popular flavors quickly due to high demand, so you have to time your visit right! Highly recommend."

    Korean corndog and strawberry matcha milk tea

    All positives through and through. I can only say good things about this cafe. The decor is very cute and the cleanliness is well maintained. The staff is very friendly and very easy to talk to. The donuts and the food wasn't too sweet, which is good. We could tell that each donut took time to carefully make and dress. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to sit and relax or have a quick breakfast bite.

    One of my favorite donut spots in the suburbs. I usually am not a fan of filled donuts, but these I will stop by for when I'm in the area. They are so fresh and the filling is perfect. The filling is flavorful and compliments the donut. I've had the ube and choco crunch. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them. They also offer Korean corn dogs and drinks, but I didn't get any this time around. I was surprised that there were a good amount of donuts left in the afternoon. It wasn't too busy when I got there a little after noon. The staff was nice and friendly. Overall a good experience.

    I've had donuts from here once before my visit to the actual store. My friend got me the ube donut which made me fall in love with this place. This place is an hour away from but I was in the area so of course I decided to make a pit stop. I usually don't like cream-filled donuts but the ones from here are so delicious. I don't know what they do differently. Their flavors are so fun so I got a half dozen. I also got a strawberry matcha cause why not. Everything about the store is so cute, inviting, and cozy. Its located in a plaza so you don't have to worry about parking. They close pretty late too so its a nice place to hangout or study. It's very clean inside and very decorative.

    This place in St. Charles was so cute all on the inside, definitely in a Sanrio sort of way. The inside was clean and quiet. I decided to go with vanilla, strawberry, and ube to take home. I ate them the next day and these donuts are best when eaten immediately. The cream and dough don't hold up well over a short period of time. All my fault but they were still good. There are not the traditional donuts and are filled with plenty of cream. The cream is what makes these donuts and I found it to be light, milky, and sweet. The brioche dough was soft and pillowy. The ube was my favorite. The flavor is amazing in its own sort of purple way. This is the place to go especially if you are looking for something different.

    My dozen: Strawberry, tiramisu, cookies n crème, biscoff, ube & raspberry crème

    Probably my favorite pastries as they are delightful, fluffy donuts with whipped filling of your choice. They have a variety of flavors from biscoff cheesecake, tiramisu, cookies n crème, raspberry cheesecake, choco crunch, madagascar vanilla, pumpkin cheesecake(seasonal) to my favorites ube & strawberry. The strawberry reminds me of pazckis by its looks & is adorned with slices of strawberries at the opening. They also have a popular cream cheese garlic donut but I don't prefer it cuz Sugar & Garlic don't mix in my world. Anywho, you can easily choose a dozen but choose wisely, as they are $5 a pop. They also offer coffee/tea/boba options. Definitely give them a try..just save some for me!

    A fun experience! We went for dessert after dinner I was worried the donuts would be stale in the evening, but they weren't. They tasted and felt very fresh. We tried the biscoff cheesecake and the tiramisu donuts and both were devine! The service was fine, not very polite, no one said hi to us. But it wasn't bad either.

    ube, matcha, yuzu cheesecake
    Stacy H.

    all the donuts we tried were amazing! the ube actually tastes like ube (which is rare). there is a loooot of filling (not complaining). i loved all three but my favorite was the matcha. the yuzu cheesecake was great too - the yuzu flavor was strong. the donuts were sitting out for a few hours after it was picked up and they still tasted very fresh! would visit more often if the location was closer! come to the nw burbs please :)

    Cute and tasty. A tad pricey ($5 a donut) but a fun experience and the donuts are huge.

    Garlic cream cheese pull apart bread
    Alana S.

    I've been meaning to come to dear donuts as long as they opened! I finally got my chance to pop in, and the store is so cute and was so busy. I'm glad they're getting the recognition they deserve, the food is so delicious. They also have Korean corn dogs, with a self serve sauce station. Everything was a knock out, they exceeded my expectations.

    I've been wanting to go to Dear Donuts for months, but it's a long drive. Thankfully we were able to pair it with other activities in St Charles and Geneva. There's ample parking in this plaza, and it's pretty spacious inside Dear Donuts. We ordered Pina Colada, Ube, and Chocolate Crunch Donuts. We also got a garlic cream cheese donut (?), but haven't tried it as of this review. In short, these Donuts were amazing! Soft and fluffy, and delicious cream inside. These are gourmet donuts, so kind of expensive, but much nicer than grocery store donuts. Service was good.

    Tasty, fresh donuts and not so sweet . I liked their variety of donuts flavors. It sure is freshly made. Service was nice. They were patient with us since it's our first time to visit and there was a long line behind us. Ambiance was nice and welcoming. The vibe was good. I will surely be back when Iam in Chicago.

    See all
