Dunk Donuts is a neighborhood staple. They have been around for years and have some of the best donuts! I always receive good customer service when I visit. They have donuts, apple fritters, strudel, cookies, turnovers and even muffins. I always get a few donuts and muffins when I stop by. Everything is made fresh, on-site daily. Its best to go early while there is more of a selection because by the late afternoon, many items are gone. It is definitely a great spot to check out. read more

Such a friendly place!! The older woman (owner maybe) was so nice to the kids and so happy to talk to them. The donuts and Apple fritter were exceptional. The adults had breakfast sandwiches to balance the donuts and they were simple, but well made. Not much room to sit inside, but we were the only ones there, so we were able to sit at the counter. read more

Locally owned donuts, made fresh daily. Beware, this is a cash only establishment, no credit cards. read more

dunk doughnuts have been my *favorite ever place for a variety of pastries (mainly doughnuts). just **simply...i my honest opinion, there is *not a doughnut place around anywhere else, where doughnuts taste fresh as, dunk doughnuts! further...i've been coming here since in my teens & i'm 73 years old now (2025). their pastries are made *fresh daily! never stale for sure. it has changed ownership since my teens but new ownership kept their same philosophy! read more

Dunk Donuts are the best donuts. They are made in house daily. They are not greasy like some. They are not stale others. Dunk Donuts are worth traveling for miles to enjoy fresh, homemade donuts. The make fresh egg, ham and cheese croissant sandwiches made to order. Their coffee is not strong but it is delicious. Once you have had Dunk Donuts you will ask yourself why you wasted your money on DUNKIN DONUTS or any other Donuts for that matter. Go to Dunk Donuts and get their cake, long John's, peanut, chocolate, apple fritter, croissants. Try their breakfast sandwich you will be full all day and the eggs are made to order and so fluffy and delicious!! They also offer a variety of drinks and other snacks. AND their prices are very reasonable.​ read more

The donuts are delicious and the family that runs the business is very nice. We have been pretty impressed with the many different kinds of donutts. read more

Donuts are very chewy... the beat I've had.. Owner is very accomodating and friendly. No cash... cash or zelle only.

Ordered three cake donuts: Blueberry, moist, wonder about blueberry flavor's chemical origin; supposedly Double Chocolate (maybe she said Devil's Chocolate?), barely tasted like chocolate with plain sugar icing; Crunchy Coconut, delicious but I had asked for Peanut; and a Plain that was STALE I discovered in the bag that I had not ordered, I only pointed to it and asked what kind it was. 4 donuts = $8.01. Why not just drop the penny? Donuts 2.5 out of 5 stars. Accuracy of order, 50%, 1 star. read more

my previous DD review's 16 years ago but me and the mrs went there today, and am pleased to say their donuts are as delicious as always. My late friend Fred first introduced me to that DD maybe 1979. Todays' selection was particularly big, huge apple fritters, chocolate fudge bars, long-johns with a lot of coconut (besides other toppings), my wife took the almond croissants, not to mention their ever popular chocolate-sprinkle cream donuts, strudels, turnovers, etc. Parking in lot immediately to the west on Lake St (closed mondays). read more

I've driven by here numerous times and my brother had said the donuts here were good. So I finally made a point of it to go and check the place out and am glad that I did. Arrived around 7:30AM on a Sunday and they had plenty of options. So I decided to try a few of them - blueberry muffin, chocolate croissant, glazed chocolate donut, maple and chocolate frosted donuts and a glazed french cruller. Thumbs up on each... while I might have had better of each type at other spots, collectively this is the best yet. Kudos to Dunk - nice to have found another breakfast sweet shop that's top notch! read more

Solid neighborhood doughnut spot but not necessarily worth a drive. We happened to be in the area and in need of breakfast, so we stumbled in for a couple of fried sweets to go with our morning coffee. Google maps is off by half a block if you're using it to find this place- it is the building attached to the parking lot. Bonus- dedicated free lot parking! The space is small and carry out only during these times. We stopped in around 9am on a Saturday. Like most good doughnut places, this was too late! They only had a few varieties left and were sold out of the apple fritters, coconut long johns, and many other of the varieties I had bookmarked to try based on reviews. The chocolate long john we did try was the standout - crispy exterior, fine crumb interior, and a generous spread of perfectly "set" chocolate icing. The double chocolate cake doughnut was a little disappointing. It didn't have much chocolate flavor at all. The white iced cruller was also very good. The interior was eggy and light, and their white icing was excellent. We usually gravitate towards cream filled doughnuts, but it didn't look like they had any in stock. Service was just okay, and they're cash only, so come prepared. Overall, an a-ok spot. read more

My kids enjoy the donuts here. The glazed cake is soft with the perfect amount of glaze. The cashier is just as sweet as her donuts. She always gives more treats on top of your order. Donuts are not the only thing for sale here. You can find drinks, chips, candy bars, chewing gum, antacids and more. Parking is quite scarce on the street. However, there's a new parking lot adjacent to the building for hungry donut feens. read more

Awesome apple fritters and service. The Asian lady is super nice, courteous, and friendly. This place is definitely fresh and better than your chain donut place (Dunkin Donuts ahemmm) but pretty average in taste and quality. Definitely try the fritters, this is the best from this place. Otherwise you can really skip the donuts. Say hi to the nice lady =) read more

Tons of great donut places, this one is worth the trip hands down. Donuts are fresh, lots of variety in both frosting type and style, I walk in wanting 2 and always leaving with 5. Also, the staff is excellent. Great people and great donuts. read more

Hands down best donuts in the area!! Bring that plain white box of donuts to a friends or work and watch how excited people are. The lady who works there is also super nice and remembers me. Maybe I buy too many donuts? read more

I was introduced to Dunk Donuts awhile back. It only took lots of whining and begging and persistence before I was brought a donut, but I finally understood the goodness that is a donut from Dunk. Can I call it Dunk? I feel like this is when my charge calls Mickey Mouse "Mick", because they're apparently buds. I digress. It wasn't until this morning in my half awake state that I finally WENT to Dunk Donuts and in the car on the way to the airport I discovered what I like about them so much. It's not that the donuts are so soft and fresh. No. It's better. It's the slight crunch in my long john. It's not like the crunch in other LJs. They have perfected the long john. They've probably perfected other donuts, but the long john is definitely my favorite. Oddly enough, everyone always says Old Fashioned has the best apple fritters around, and they are good, don't get me wrong, but there is something about Dunk's fritter that I would actually prefer them over OF's. Yeah, I said it. DD's apple fritter is better. The actual place is small. There is more room to make donuts and serve donuts and stand around behind the counter than there is to order, but I'm sure that's part of its charm. I'm sure if I lived or grew up in the area this place would be special to me, because it just has that feeling. I think I "get it", in regards to Dunk, at least. read more

Having grown up in this town, my family and I always anointed Dunk Donuts as THE place to go for Donuts. If you had anything bad to say about Dunk Donuts, we would literally fight you. These donuts may not look like anything special to the naked eye, but one bite of these melt-in-your-mouth morsels will have you on cloud 9. 9 is the approximate number of pounds you will gain also, but don't let that deter you. Pretty much the epitome of a hole in the wall, don't expect irrational things like outstanding customer service or a big, fancy menu. That stuff is overrated. For example, they claim to make breakfast sandwiches, but I can't seem to get them to make me one. Last time I asked for one, and the lady just shook her head and mumbled some incoherent broken English to me. Fine, coffee and donuts it is. If you're in the area and want an alternative to the huge Donut chain, check out one of my childhood spots. They still go hard. read more

No frills really good doughnut shop. Not as eye catching as some of the doughnuts I've seen from spots like glazed and infused but really impressive doughnut to me. Walked in and was greeted with a "YOU MADE IT" smile. Really friendly owners. The only drawback for me was I wasn't sure what some of the doughnut's I was picking were so kept having to point ("no, not that one...over, over one more.... yeah that one. ) I'm sure after one or two more visits. I'll get the hang of what's my favorite. Ordered 1/2 dozen and was given three free doughnuts. but I'm a yelp elite free things don't impress me (can't hold laugh any longer) but really enjoyed the doughnuts as they literally were fresh despite me coming in at 4pm, Hope to get their early and have a better selection to pick from next time. read more

This place is just the best, if you are a person that has such sweet tooth, this is definitely the best place to go to! I am telling you, when I first came here, I was actually with my friends back then and stopped by this place just to hang out, the place was a vibe! As well as their staff's, whenever we go inside they would greet us with big smiles. I would always order Donuts flavored with raspberry, it's just perfect for the taste, sweet and tasty and a little sour, their glazed and doubled chocolate one's and their birthday cake frosted donut's! Perfect! And pair that with a delicious and neatly made drink. I definitely recommend this place, just talking about this already makes me think of going here for another time. Keep up the good work guys! Thank you for such a wonderful service and awesome experience! Will see you guys again soon when I come back! Thank you! Kudos! read more

I recognize that I have a thing for crullers. This tiny donut shop had three varieties- glazed, chocolate-frosted, and white (vanilla?) frosted. I tried the chocolate and white, and they were fresh with a light, eggy texture on the inside. Delicious, but not the best I've had. Not as much frosting on them as the other shops that I've tried, and the chocolate frosting wasn't chocolatey enough for me. Chocolate cruller - 4 stars. I liked the light & eggy texture, but the frosting wasn't chocolatey enough. Compared to the heavyweight of Spunky Dunker's cruller, Dunk's is not a serious contender. Spunky's has an awesomely thick & chocolatey frosting, and their crust is superior with a fine crisp. Dunk's crust is more of a toughened shell. Analogy: American muscle car's frame (Dunk) vs. Japanese compact car's frame (Spunky). Dimples Donut's cruller would be like a Hummer lol. White (vanilla?) cruller - 3.5 stars. Good, but I preferred the chocolate. Chocolate frosted yellow cake donut - 3.5 stars. Good, but again, the frosting. The cake wasn't dry though. Glazed chocolate cake donut - 4.25 stars. I took one bite and it was so light & soft that it felt like I was eating a cupcake. I originally picked out 2 crullers, and then added a cake donut last minute, and wow, she added in another free! read more

My favorite donut place since I was 10. Best donuts in the world. Great selection, great price, very generous with the order, fresh, tasty, also have good breakfast sandwiches. The owners are the nicest people in the world. Did I mention the donuts are awesome. Get the coconut long John. If you don't like coconut, get the chocolate sprinkle long john. Everything is great there. read more

Really good selection with some choices you don't often see (almonds on top or coconut on chocolate rather than just cake). A dozen will set you back $7.50, but the service is fast and friendly and the donuts are certainly fresh in this tiny spot. Even the next day - after being left out on the kitchen counter, a french cruller was decent. read more

Good donuts and service.....coffee good, donuts fresh and distinctive!! Hard to find a "non DD" donut place in the Chicagoland area., unlike the West Coast. Chocolate bars were great! The lady was I think offering me more donuts (?) when I was leaving and that's when I took the picture of her with the tray. Dunk is a little hard to find, on south side with street parking or park in lot to the west. Lake Street can get crazy with trucks and the like, so be careful when parking!! read more

Great blueberry cake and buttermilk cake. Coconut long johns have a lighter sweetness of chantilly-type frosting. Been here a handful of times and the service is great! The owner threw in a half dozen donut holes once and is always thoughtful. Occasionally you'll find an extra donut or something extra in the bag and they really treat you like family here. read more

Another favorite childhood memory of mine. My father used to work in Bellwood and sometimes would bring home donuts on a Saturday. Even better, he'd occasionally take me into the shop on a Saturday. I remember us getting their early, before sunrise, and picking out my favorites. I love their double chocolate cake donut and cake donuts cover with sprinkles. They have a slightly crusty outside and are moist in the inside. The cake donuts are covered with a cream on top to keep the sprinkles on that is like whip cream. I agree with other posts, get there early. I've never been there past 7:00 am. I just don't want to chance a sellout of my favorites. read more

This is my local Dunkin Donuts, it is a great place to get donuts. There are many choices to choose from when it comes to the donuts choice. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a treat with your friends. The staff is very friendly and very professional.

Gym or Dunk Donuts? Gym or Dunk Donuts? Those were my two options to do after Max woke up from his nap...well...I think it's pretty obvious what won. Fatty. Anyways..I TOTALLY almost passed this place up while driving down Lake St.! The front and inside are both pretty dingy and old school, but don't let that deter you! The two Asian women behind the counter were SUPER friendly (almost looked like a mom and daughter) and kept talking to my kids which doesn't always happen. Awww... So I told her I would get a half dozen since it is cash only and I had a whopping $7 on me. I ordered a couple buttermilk, chocolate cake, vanilla long john, jelly and a french crueller. Well...she didn't stop there...she threw in two extra doughnuts and a muffin. All for the price of the doughnuts which was $5.15 with tax. So I just gave her all the $7 while she said goodbye to my sons for like 2 minutes...so.cute. AND so generous...I mean she didn't have to do that! Now to the doughnuts. I tried the chocolate, crueller and the buttermilk and ALL of them are delicious!!! The buttermilk and crueller are my favorites! The buttermilk is greasy-crunchy, in a good way, on the outside with a light glaze and soft on the inside with a sweet, salty and slightly almond-y flavor. Perfection! And the crueller was SO soft and egg-y, just how I like my cruellers. I will def be back and recommend that everyone get their fat ass over there and pick up a dozen...you're hips and ass will thank you! =] read more
