This place has AMAZING donuts! Just make sure you get there early cause they fly off the shelf and when they're gone they're gone!

I wished I lived in Gurnee so I can eat gurnee donuts everyday. They are so delicious and are my absolute favorite donuts. I am salivating thinking about them right now. Obsessed with the apple fritter donuts. Even their long johns are awesome (def better than DD). It tastes so fresh and moist. I have no idea how donuts are made but whatever they do at Gurnee Donuts, they are doing it right! The staff is pretty friendly too :) read more

Lines move quickly, people are kind, great donuts. I go there anytime I need donuts for an event.

Really good donuts but operating hours are a little wonky. Stopped going there because of operating hours..good luck with that.

If you're looking for delicious donuts that never disappoint, this is your spot. Fun varieties. People of all ages will love this place!

To be fair, it could be that I'm old school or just accustomed to a different type of Donut being that I was born & raised in upstate NY. I'm also a fan of Dunken Donuts. We got a variety of donuts and sampled each of them. The boston cream, chocolate and sour cream were good donuts. The jelly filled was blah, as were the cinnamon and powered. The peanut was downright disappointing. WIth that being said, after my first visit to Gurnee Donuts, and after tasting several of their donuts, I've concluded that I would not go the extra miles or out of my way to come back here. Granted, if I was already in the area, perhaps I would stop in for a boston cream. read more

I was in here the other day and tried a chocolate long john. It was, easily, the best I have ever had! It had a slight crunch on the outside and very soft inside. If I'm in the area again, I will be stopping back in! I grabbed two apple fritters to go, cause they are my absolute favorite. I had them for breakfast this morning & I now have a new favorite baker! Thanks to the Lee family for making such delicious treats! YUM! read more

I ordered my wedding donuts from Gurnee Donuts and it was SO delicious! Kevin was amazing to work with. I had very specific donut order (color, type of donut, etc.) and he was so patient with me on detailed request. Not only it was so tasty and moist, it looked so pretty on our donut wall. I wanted to support local donut shop and Gurnee donut had the best tasting and the most unique selection for very reasonable price. Thank you so much for amazing donuts!! I'd highly recommend them to my friends and family! read more

Gurnee Donuts is one of the best donuts in the Chicago area. These are real donuts, made in the back and from scratch, not from a mix. It is far from Chicago, but if you're driving up to Wisconsin or going to Gurnee Mills, its an easy detour. The hours are a little strange, I think they close at 3 p.m. I am a cake donut fan and Gurnee's are excellent. The apple fritter is good too. The earlier you go the better the selection, The people who own it are pleasant and nice. If you're on the quest for the perfect donut, Gurnee Donuts should be one of your stops. read more

The donuts here are delicious and fresh. I mainly come here for the Ube Donuts which are only available on the weekends. The ube donuts are moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. If you are unfamiliar with Ube it is a purple yam, very popular in filipino desserts. I prefer the glaze ube topping, but they also have ones with coconut shavings and a regular ube flavor. I've also had their apple fritter which is delicious. I highly recommend this place over Dunkin donuts. Must try. read more

I just love how fresh their donuts are. The best fat pills around. I am addicted to the jelly donuts.

I fell in love with these donuts! They r so good and always taste fresh and soft. Whenever I'm around I stop by. They even give freebies when buying several at a time. And no I'm not related to the owners, I'm just a friendly customer from RLake. The 10 minute drive is well worth it :) read more

These are amazing donuts. I am not really a donut person but these are truly awesome.

I have lived in Waukegan, on and off for over 10 years (long story). I have seen Gurnee Donuts, but I think it just never registered, when I would be coming home from work. (I work midnights). So, I finally stopped there the other morning, and OH MAN. Brian C. said that the Apple Fritter tastes like it should. He is spot on. It is soft, and has little bits of apple it in. It is PERFECT, very moist. I also had a boston kreme donut, and it was smooth, and moist as well. A+++ for Gurnee Donuts! I will be stopping there in the morning, for sure! read more

Best donuts in the area. Fantastic coffee, highly recommended the Bourbon Vanilla latte. I recommend going earlier in the day, especially on weekend since they sell out fast. I love their red velvet donuts. read more

This is a really small donut shop near Six Flags. We were all really worried when Krispy Kreme opened up down the road from this place, but 5 years later Krispy Kreme is out of business and Gurnee Donuts is still flourishing! The donuts are homemade and made fresh every morning, and they always throw in one or two extra :D read more

I've never been to the actual store (Gurnee is waaaay to far from the city for me). However, my friend ordered the ube doughnut holes (glazed, coconut, fruity pebbles, and Oreo covered) for our friend's baby shower. And it was a hit for the whole party!! I looooved them and everyone loved them. Not just the ube flavor and the topping but the texture and flavor of the doughnut hole itself was so unique and very addicting!! Everyone from the party took some home with them. I had a few the next day with my coffee and it was a perfect pairing. I wish this place was in the city so I could keep a stash in my home for a sweet snack, dessert or breakfast. Wonderful job on the ube doughnuts! I'm a fan! read more

That bacon thing is heaven!!! OMG! The other donuts are yummy too but the BACON! Ahh! Love the twists too! Planing to go here as often as I can...or as I am allowed :P read more

Best donuts around!! Must try's are: twist, cinnamon roll, apple fritter, coconut ube, all danishes and the jelly donuts. They also offer 10% off for military! 5 stars read more

In my humble opinion, the best donuts around...hands down! Love all the donuts they make. You can tell it's fresh and made with care and love. Only problem is they run out too fast if you don't make the early morning run. But that's my fault, not the owners, I give them 5/5 because the donuts are excellent and that's all that matters. Also, they make a great latte with a Lamarzocco espresso machine. read more

These donuts are literally out of this world! Decided to go after hearing coworkers talk about the reopening this past summer. Although pricier than Dunkin, the cost is completely worth it. I have been, and will continue to be, a repeat customer. Side note: try the purple ube donut, it is amazing read more

Wow! What a find...the reviews were spot on. Their old fashion and apple fritters are to die for. Crispy and the right amount of sweetness. In my search for the right amount of crisp and softness, I found it in Gurnee. Who knew?? The owner kept giving me freebies, she was so nice. I admire people that work that hard! read more

Great homemade donuts!! Vanilla long john is a fav! Especially if you like icing! Can't pass up the donut holes if you're not a huge donut eater. But you'll probably eat enough to equal a donut! read more

Gurnee donuts is a cute small simple donut coffee place and delicious donuts and if your lucky you can get the donuts fresh and there maple bacon donut is so good and has the best bacon on top read more

REALLY delicious cake and raised (glazed type) with a big fat size and slight cinnamon taste. I'm giving one less star because they close at or before 3 PM, so no evening stops on the way home from work. The owner-operator has a fun, engaging personality. We bought Apple Fritters, Cake donuts and were given a raised strawberry donut to try/sample. Each one had a delicious flavor where you could tell the baker has pride in her efforts which resulted in your wanting more! Dangerous! LOL!!! Fairly priced, semi-small parking area in a strip mall might be problematic in busy mornings. I'd go out of my way for these gems! read more

The best donuts in town. Always fresh and tasty. Sometimes you get there and they are warm out of the oven!!! I would suggest that the frosting not be so thick and piled on top but rather spread evenly at the top of the donut. Other then that best donuts! read more

This is the greatest donut place in America! Yes, I truly mean that. I lived in Chicago and had all the different Artisan donut places that are 3x the cost. They don't compare with Gurnee donuts. Without question you have to get their buttermilk donut. It's where dreams are made! read more
