Gluten Free Donuts??? Absolutely!!!…read moreOne of the best tasting donuts we have ever had. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Friendly staff. Nice outdoor seating available. Highly recommend this donut shop.

Geeeeez my sis *inhaled* the old fashioned donuts lol. She's a big fan of old fashioned donuts and…read moreclearly she enjoyed the ones that we got here. :p For me, they were a little too sweet (I have old AzN lady taste buds in which "not too sweet" is a strong compliment), but wow the crispiness for old fashioned donuts was on-point! The buttermilk one particularly gave county fair funnel cake vibes and the lemon poppyseed one reminded me a lot of a lemon bar lol verrry lemon-y (in an indulgent-good way). Friendly lady at the interior counter nook. We visited on a Monday at 9 am and there was no line at all.

We shared: 1. Pistachio & Triple Chocolate Old Fashioned…read more2. Chocolate Glazed 3. Banana Custard Old Fashioned donut texture were textbook - crunchy exterior with a dense cake-y interior. Pistachio flavor was missing. Chocolate needs to be richer and creamier in the glazed donut. Banana Custard cream donut was excellent. Service was friendly and helpful. Takeout only.

The raspberry bold orange donut truly was fire, no premade compote here, fresh raspberry filling was a game changer. The cinnamon roll donut was decadent but totally worth it with all the walking you do as a tourist.

The donuts are fresh, soft, and perfectly sweet. You really can't go wrong with anything here. We ordered the Carrot Cake and Boston Cream, which were delicious. Service was quick and friendly.

On our way to The Cloud, my friends and I dropped by Stan's for a quick little pick me up…read more I had seen so much hype about the place on Tiktok and was really excited to check them out. I ended up getting a chocolate old fashioned and matcha latte sweetened. The store itself is super cute and had so many options for donuts, I wanted to order it all but just opted for one. The team here was really friendly. When they called me for my drink order, it was a chai but they were able to fix that right away. My matcha was so smooth and perfectly sweetened, not too much since I was already eating a donut. The matcha gave me the much needed energy boost and the shop kept us warm because it was definitely cold outside. 1000% recommend checking out Stan's everyone is so nice and the food and drinks are great and exactly what you need.

Great stop for donuts!…read more Lots of flavor options and soft and pillowy! Tried the brown butter donut- it reminded me of the Harry Potter butterbeer. Kind of a mix of caramel and butter. Very good! Would recommend!

these doughnuts are still amazing and a consistent stop every time we are in chicago…read more i am not a fan of jelly/jam in doughnuts but the way that beacon doughnuts does it has changed my opinion. the blueberry pancake doughnut is your traditional doughnut shape with a hole but they somehow filled it with jam still. magic i think. the doughnuts are decadent, delicious, to die for. the chocolate glazed brioche is a new favorite of mine. it's an airy yeast doughnut which i prefer over cake doughnuts. the chocolate frosting is rich and the sweetness of the glaze balances out the chocolate.

Beacon is in a class all by itself. Each donut is artistically and thoughtfully made and there are…read morecommunity favorites but they do have specialty donuts that appear for the season or a short period of time.. They operate out of an alley but don't be afraid, this is Lincoln Park and it's clean and families are frequent customers. No drug deals going on here!! As everyone else has suggested, order these online and pick them up at your desired time. By doing this, you get exactly what you want as they do sell out and when they're out, that's it for the day. :) Enjoy these in the car, whilst you're parked or weaving in and out of I-94 traffic, or better yet !!- at home, with a home made latte.. My favorites were, in no particular order: 1 guava cheese danish 2 vanilla bean cronut 3 blueberry pancake 4 apple fritter 5 chocolate ganache 6 Boston cream I guess I put them in order.. FYI, personally, I would pass on the banana bread and chocolate donut. I hope to be back as soon as possible as Beacon differentiates itself from the Big Boys (DoRite, Stan's, and Firecakes), as well as the family owned/neighborhood donut shops.

I usually go to Voodoo in Universal Orlando. I always get the apple fritter if available. No…read morevariation and fritter just as good and delicious! This place is super cute. No outdoor seating. Lots of parking spots. Restrooms. Fun place!

While strolling in the West Loop on my way to pick a different unhealthy bite I stumbled across…read moreVoodoo Doughnut. It's been well over a decade since trying for the first time in Seattle. Tbh I remember being disappointed because of the hype. Today I entered with tempered expectations. I tried the Old Fashioned doughnut and it was somewhere between solid and above average. I'll definitely stick with Do-Rite especially because they're a few blocks away and significantly better. If the job catered Voodoo I'd indulge, but considering I prefer a few other donut shops I won't make a special trip. Great service plus a respectable donut equals 3.51 stars.

Let me start by saying that Firecakes on Clark, in Lincoln Park, is so much better than the one on…read moreHubbard, in the Loop. No offense, the reason I say that is because the employees at this Clark location are so friendly and chill. I like that type of service, don't you?? In comparison to Beacons, Stan's, Voodoo's, and Do-Rite's, I would also say that Firecakes is in the top three (3). They are less commercialized, less over the top, and the simplicity in the Tahitian Vanilla epitomizes this type of donut shop. They're a throwback to a classic neighborhood place to come to, for these treats. My favorites, in no particular order are: - Cannoli donut (4) - Birthday cake donut (5) - Apple fritter (2) - Tahitian Vanilla (number 1) - Cinnamon roll (3)...I decided to rank them... And that we have, we've come back at least 10 times and this is a quick drive on I-94 into the city or take Lake Shore Drive - just put the pedal to the metal and go and get a bunch. Eat them on the way back home, eat one in the garage before the garage door closes. Fire up the espresso machine, froth up that milk, cuz - we got Firecakes donuts y'all!!

What's better than delicious donuts? Beautifully delicious donuts! Firecakes donuts are as tasty…read moreas they are pretty. A family recipe passed down and made in small batches daily.

The whole place smelled absolutely amazing the second I walked in. Since I was just ordering coffee, which I fully regret not getting a donut. I used the kiosk and my order came out quickly.

It's pretty small inside, with maybe no more than 10 tables. When I came there was a large party taking up majority of the dining room, leaving about 4 tables left. We didn't have reservations, but I believe they take them. Luckily we were seated right away without any issues. They are known for their Asian cuisine. Think Taiwanese fried chicken sandwiches, Japanese mochi donuts, ube, vietnamese coffee, etc. What I tried: - Mochi donuts (1 strawberry, 1 chocolate) ; so fresh! 10/10 - Strawberry/peach lemonade boba; Extremely sweet, but good! Staff was super kind from start to finish. The only downside (which is big) - it is pretty dirty around the restaurant. With all the white, you can unfortunately spot things quicker. A deep clean would do the trick!

It ended up being well worth the wait though. There are so many options I just stood there staring for a while, and the staff was super chill about it. Also, all their name tags say "Stan," which is kinda cute but now I'm very curious who the real Stan is. The Biscoff doughnut was sooo good, sweet but not overly sweet (and I have a sweet tooth, so take that as you will). I also tried the minis to sample a few flavors, but they were a little dry, so I'd probably skip those and just commit to a full doughnut.
