Always fresh and friendly. Love the service, selection and quality. Chicken biscuit is

TLDR: Would come back here for the brunch items, but not the donuts. The good: wide assortment of flapjacks, waffles, omelette, breakfast sides and sandwiches, and burgers. Something for everyone! Ample parking lot AND a drive thru window! Satisfying portion sizes. The bad: if you snooze, you'll lose on the donut variety, so plan accordingly! I actually got up mid meal to purchase our donuts bc several customers came in between the time we arrived and the time we would've been ready for dessert. You can catch me snoozing at 6am, but not at donut o'clock! The ugly: the cream in the Boston cream donut used to be (atleast a couple years ago, at another location) reminiscent of a true vanilla, pastry cream or custard, but this Boston cream was an IMPOSTER! The cream inside was a slightly greasy, artificial tasting whipped topping that was atrocious. My 7yo rejected the French twist donut she picked bc it was a bit dried out and tasted nutty for some reason. Maybe it was touching other donuts in the process of being made or had some kind of cross contamination. I don't mind nuts, but the staling texture was off putting. This visit didn't live up to the Niles location, and can't wait until the little Glenview shop reopens. read more

This is basically a coffee shop with fancy donuts that also serves burgers and has a nice breakfast menu. Prices are good, everything was clean, and the staff was friendly. I ordered the Southern Lovin biscuit sandwich. I got a big fluffy biscuit, a huge piece of chicken, and delicious bacon perfectly crisped. One of the best biscuit sandwiches I've had outside of Nashville. Yum! read more

I visited Joe Donut - Mt Prospect on a Saturday afternoon around 12 p.m. The place wasn't busy and there were many people working behind the counter, so it definitely had an energetic vibe. That said, the experience felt a little disorganized. The girl who rang me up seemed to be new. Everyone has to start somewhere, of course, but there was an overbearing manager (perhaps the owner) hovering nearby who didn't appear to be offering much actual guidance or training. The dynamic felt more tense than supportive, which was noticeable as a customer. As for the food, prices seemed a bit high for what you receive. The value didn't quite match the portion size. We ordered the Double Royal with Cheese, and it was about the size of a McDonald's double cheeseburger. It tasted fine, but for the price point $10, I expected something more substantial. We also ordered the $5 "hand-cut" fries, which were clearly pre-cut and frozen. That was disappointing, especially given the premium price point and the expectation set by the description. Overall, not a terrible stop, but between the pricing, portion size, and the uncomfortable front-counter dynamic, it didn't quite live up to expectations. We did not try the donuts, but they also appeared to be on the higher end when you compare other local options. read more

Walked over here to grab a sandwich and a cold brew. The cold brew is actually just their left over coffee that's refrigerated. The staff is rude, literally sat there for like 5 min staring in the other direction before grabbing my order. I brought up that it wasn't cold brew and she said "you are the only person who has ever complained". Just a bad vibe here. No real service attitude. Never coming back. Don't go. read more

So I've never actually been inside and I've only brought them home but, they are pretty good but I have a couple gripes with them. I understand that creative license is a big thing in food. But when there is a classic item that people are expecting to be a certain way and you mess with that, it doesn't go over well. At least not for me. Specifically I'm talking about their very loose interpretation of a Boston cream donut. I also love a good maple bacon donut but , they definitely need to cook the bacon for those donuts more. Both of these are in my pictures, so you can see what I'm talking about. Overall the variety and flavor of the donuts is pretty great, but I've also dealt with a lot of attitude from the staff. So I didn't appreciate that. As I said I haven't been in the actual location myself but to speak to the Ambiance at least the parking lot and that situation is not the greatest. It does look very clean from what I've seen, but there are other places I would go before here. That said if you're close by and craving a donut definitely worth a stop in. I do still want to visit one day and get something other than Donuts. But for now this is where I stand. Don't take my word for it though give them a try if you're in the area! read more

I was sorry to see that the Old Orchard location closed a while back, but then I noticed this one so it's even steven. No matter what happens, I am always about a 20-minute drive from three locations of Joe's Donuts. What a time to be alive! I saw a lot of blueberry fritters over the summer, but I'm keen for their apple, happily more available in the cold weather months. Joe's fritters are among the best in the land. The other doughnuts are outstanding as well. I've tried a couple of breakfast sandwiches too, and while tasty they lack balance, needing more moisture and/or a vegetable ingredient I think. Meat, biscuit, and cheese alone can be a bit overwhelming. read more

The owner is disrespectful and treated his employees poorly in front of the customers. I heard his name is Giovanni. The food was poor quality and tasted stale. The cleanliness greatly lacking. I will never go there again! read more

It's a donut shop with some creative donuts. What I enjoyed was the intellagista coffee. Check this place out. You might like it!!

In an area that is saturated with Dunkin' Donuts, it was nice to find something different. In a sit down, modern location, Joe donut is offering up some of the more progressive varieties in the area. Grabbed a half dozen including a maple bacon, red velvet, pistachio old fashioned, chocolate covered old fashioned, and sprinkles for the kids represents the most expensive donuts I've ever purchased coming in at $14. Looks like they also serve some traditional egg sandwiches and espresso drinks. First samples of the donut collection showed signs that some were not fresh baked that morning with the glaze crumbling off in chunks on the first bite and the cream cheese topping on the red velvet being oxidized. Even though they have some of the more unique donut offerings, I prefer mine to be fresh baked. read more

I went there at 5:30 on Sunday, drive through was closed, so I go in asking for Donuts she said "we all out of donuts". So why are you opened for? Another reason, I go though drive through asking for the donuts I want to pick she said " we don't do that you have to come in to pick". Even though I went there so many times and asked for a dozen of my favorite once. The employees are not serving the customers at all. Great Donuts but bad employees for sure! read more

Joe Donut Mt Prospect - Donuts Near Me - Mt Prospect, Illinois

I just got off the phone with someone at this I'm location. I don't even know if it was a manager or just another store worker because they didn't address themselves. I'm disappointed how they handled my situation which is why I'm writing this review. My husband and I used the drive thru to order a half dozen of donuts and coffee. We used the drive thru for the convenience and when they offer a drive thru we expect to receive the same the experience. We honestly haven't been to a Joe Donut location in a while so we were asking questions and switching out. The person helping us was nice and helpful. They gave us a wrong donut which was the specialty donut. The person I talked to adamantly believed we ordered the maple bacon which is not true because we would never order that in our lives. We wanted the apple fritter. We realized this as we got home on Chicago so we drove a long way and there was no way we would drive back. The person on the phone said we should have went inside instead of outside. I don't think that was the best way to go about solving the situation when there is a drive thru for a reason. They should close the drive thru if they can't correctly give away the orders. Nothing was done to accommodate this mistake so I wouldn't recommend anyone to come to this location. It would have been nice if they took my information down for the future to pick up a free donut or refund me the one donut, but nothing was given except to tell me to come inside next time. You would think we wou expect to receive better service than a more popular chain. The only reason why I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the person helped us in the drive thru was nice when helping us. The person on the phone was not. read more

Decided to pop in here one afternoon as I've passed this place quite a few times. I looked at the menu before going in but they were already sold out of some of their donuts so I went with what they had. The good? The berry flavored donuts were my favorite. Typically I like chocolate flavored but I was a bit let down with the Oreo, chocolate frosted old fashioned, and s'mores donuts. I think next time I would want to check out their food menu versus donuts. Not sure if I'd be up to paying $12 + tax for the donuts again. read more

I have passed by this Joe Donut location for the past 4 months anxiously awaiting for them to open and finally had a chance to eat in. I've heard good reviews about the donuts from their other locations, mainly the Niles location. This location has a breakfast and lunch menu along with donuts! Walking in, you order at the counter (donut, breakfast, lunch, etc.). The place isn't too large, but it's pretty cozy and comfy. Hubby and I went around lunchtime and it wasn't busy. We took our menu to the table to look over before returning to the counter to order. He ordered a steak and egg sandwich on a ciabatta. They didn't have iced tea, but had bottled (Lipton) drinks in a cooler for him to buy. I ordered the Mom Jeans (chicken sausage egg scramble with avocado) and it came with a side of pancakes. I ordered a small cold brew. Hubs said his sandwich was tasty. My scramble was pretty good too. The pancakes were tasty served with sweetened whipped butter and syrup. The cold brew was ok. On our way out, we bought a dozen donuts. Some were good and some were a bit of a miss for us. The cake donuts were too dry for us and frosting fell off after our first bite of our donuts. Maybe it was an off batch? The guy working the front of the house was really nice and friendly. He cared about the business and we could tell he was either the manager or owner. He was doing the cleaning up of the area and brought our food out to us. The woman who took our order at the register and helped us with our donuts later never once smiled. She didn't seem like she wanted to be there and it was just awkward asking her questions. She wasn't emitting warm, friendly, or welcoming vibes at all! The breakfast and lunch part was good. It didn't quite feel like a regular sit down breakfasts lunch restaurant, but the food was good. The donut was so-so. The service was definitely mixed, depending on who was helping us. read more

HAVE DONUTS!!! Got to location at 11am on Sunday morning and NO DONUTS!!! Waited 30 mins for a delivery of fresh donuts, turns out they were not fresh and way OVERPRICED. Huge disappointment! read more

I've always enjoyed coming here--the donuts have been good, and the service has been solid. However, this recent visit left me disappointed. I'm not sure if there's a new owner, but several changes made the experience much less enjoyable. First, they no longer offer the large donuts they used to have. The variety was minimal, and the donuts now resemble the smaller size you'd find at Dunkin', not the unique, oversized square ones that made this place stand out. They also no longer sell the signature Joe's Donut size boxes, which was disappointing. The biggest issue I had was with the gift card situation. Before placing my order (which included two dozen donuts and a sandwich), I told the staff member I'd be paying with a gift card. Only after everything was rung up was I told that they are no longer accepting gift cards because the system has been down "for a while." I asked what I was supposed to do with my card and was told I might be able to use it at other locations--basically confirming that they just aren't accepting them anymore at this one. I had to pay out of pocket unexpectedly, and it felt like that information should have been communicated up front. I've never had a bad experience here until now, but it seems like the quality and customer service are slipping. I don't plan on returning, except to try to resolve the gift card issue and request a refund. It's really a shame--I used to love coming here, but it's just not the same anymore. read more

Went here for the first time to try their sandwiches. I'm not a huge donut fan, so we didn't try any of those, but their brunch was excellent! I had the Gringo Spicy biscuit sandwich and my husband had the breakfast burrito. Both were delicious! The biscuit on my sandwich was amazing! So light and fluffy, it made the sandwich fall apart a bit but well worth it! Neither came with a side but none was needed, as they are very filling on their own. Coffee was great! Got the cold brew, black. Very smooth and tasty. They also offer nitro but were out when we were there. The space is small but more spacious than I originally thought and they have outside seating on nice days. We will be back! read more

Joe Donut Mt Prospect - Donuts! - Donuts Near Me - Mt Prospect, Illinois

i was pretty impressed with the selection of doughnuts here! i had to try my favorite old fashion and i couldn't decide which flavor so i got all 3 available: lemon poppyseed, pistachio, and caramel. i thought they were pretty good but i've had better so i was slightly disappointed as i thought it could possibly be a closer drive to replace my favorite Do-rite ones from the city. i got the chicken sandwich because it looked huge in the pictures and it was definitely huge. i felt though the bread didn't taste that great and just something was lacking. it wasn't as flavorful as i thoguht it would be. i feel like they should have dressed up the coleslaw maybe a bit better. i did think the breakfast potatoes were so good... kind of like deep fried latkes. i will have to come back and try the biscuit sandwiches and hopefully up my stars! read more

I've been to other Joe Donuts and was so glad to see this one finally open! Came on a Sunday and it was pretty packed but they kept the line moving and they were bringing out orders at lightning speed. We came in just before 11 and were able to snag a table, but by the time we left it was pretty full. Food is amazing! I had the Joe Pothole which was a biscuit with melted American cheese, covered with gravy and chopped bacon, loads of breakfast potatoes and 2 eggs. It was so good! My favorite thing on the menu. Jeremy C got the Burnt cheese as a scramble, with the breakfast potatoes and a biscuit and he was also raving about how good it was. We got a Boston cream donut, which typically is my favorite flavor of donut, but it was not my favorite here. I love though how they have so many different fland unique flavors! You usually can never go wrong with one of their old fashioned's! Great service! Great food! What more could you ask for? read more

Welp... here we go... The Good Bacon was excellent! Potatoes were different. Not bad. Kinda sweet. Like potato funnel cake. Pancake was good. Veggie Omlette was good. I am a biscuit and gravy connoisseur. From the south and order it everywhere. This was good. If I were to order again. I would get it with 1 biscuit. The Bad You go there for the donuts, right? Ugh. HORRIBLE. It was 10:30AM... they didn't taste fresh, they werent moist. Just dry. Not a good donut AT ALL. Would NEVER go there for donuts. We ordered Oreo, Vanilla Glazed, Strawberry Cheesecake, Old Fashioned, Salted Caramel and Red Velvet Cream Cheese. Did I say they were horrible? One bite and into the garbage they went. Dryer than the mojave desert. Would I go back? If others went, I would try more breakfast items. Go to grab a donut? Nope. Go to Spunky Dunkers!!!! read more

I've tried Joe Donut several times but I am quite unimpressed. We went there for Mother's Day and I understand that it's busy they ran out of donuts.

Cold coffee. Stale donuts and not much of a selection. The first bite left a layer of grease on the roof of my mouth. Skip this place.

Something doesn't seem right. The inventory and quality isn't what it's been in the past. I hope they get better! They did much better in the past! read more

I was so disappointed when I went two weeks ago to have breakfast. The menu said $12.50 for the breakfast I wanted, including pancakes and biscuit. When I ordered my basket, the young lady up front said. Sorry it's $4.50 more. She would not listen to reason at all. To me, the written price is the real price, not just something verbal. I was very disappointed and will not return to Joe Donut in Mt. Prospect! read more

So walking in you expect a good donut and they actually look good to the eye, they are anything but good. Went today at 0630 probably one of the first customers and received stale "burn mark" glazed donuts. The burn marks after further review were green, not black so I will make my own assumption. The box reads "not responsible for addiction" and don't worry because we are not addicted and will never become addicted to these donuts. Jewel Osco has fresher donuts than the donut shop. Regardless of the poor tasting donuts the service was actually okay. read more

Not very good. The donuts were a cold clump of sugar, flour and lard. Coffee was not great either. An employee told me they were made in a central plant and delivered by a van every other day.

An average breakfast spot. The donuts themselves didn't seem fresh, can't say they were any good or worth the money which is disappointing considering it's a donut shop. The breakfast meals we ordered were decent, nothing too special but can't complain either. I tried out the "biscuit #1" and my boyfriend tried the "sidecar" we added a side of the hash browns that were probably the best thing they have on the menu. The space is pretty snug and new which is nice. Service was horrible. The lady that checked us out had an attitude that which that alone did not make me ever want to come back. Overall, average place, nothing special about it. read more
