I tried the raspberry rose, strawberry basil, and Saigon cinnamon sugar. I like the size, fresh cake texture, and distinct flavors. Very well made donuts and they are priced as such. Unfortunately, there's no half dozen or dozen deal. Employees were nice and there's a parking lot. read more

Pandamonium Doughnuts - a variety of doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Pandamonium has light airy doughnuts with both traditional and refreshing flavors. All the glaze flavors are rather light (maybe sometimes a little too light), and not too sweet. The mimosa doughnut (New Year's special) had a great unique citrusy flavor with a hint of champagne. It was also filled nicely. The peppermint chocolate (December special) is a cake doughnut, which has a stronger chocolate flavor from the batter (and a great peppermint topping) which I preferred slightly to the chocolate crumble. Overall, Pandamonium is definitely a destination to grab some special doughnuts! One note: the raised ring doughnuts are definitely of an appreciable size! read more

Ordered online and then ordered my drink in the store. This is a cute small cafe with the most delicious donuts i have ever tasted. The flavors are amazing and I love the creativity behind each donut. The texture and dough is perfect. I highly recommend trying this place out for breakfast. I am still craving their doughnuts!! I also ordered an Irish Cream drink which was delicious but a bit too sweet for me. The employees were extremely kind and i would definitely come here again when I visit. read more

My husband visited Pandamonium early on a Saturday morning (neither of us had ever been). He ordered 4 different flavors ranging in price from $2.75-$3.25. He was impressed by the interior of the store and the staff were great. I dove into the donuts when I got home from work. He even picked me up an Original Glazed. Yay! The Chocolate Crumble was my favorite. These donuts taste very good, are unique, but pricey and obviously not great for your waistline when eaten regularly. :-P The donuts are large and super fresh. I prefer my donuts old school, so the fancy flavors at Pandamonium don't appeal to me personally. Worth the $ ? Sure. Regular go-to place for donuts? No. Recommend. read more

The donuts were extremely good! Fresh and delicious. It was very clean inside and the staff were friendly.

The chocolate raspberry donut was to die for!! Also got the thin mint, birthday cake, and coco pebbles one... wish they had the fruity pebbles one though :( would come back again! It was awesome read more

Pandamonium Doughnuts - a glazed donut with icing - Donuts Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Was really excited to try this place, have heard nothing but good things. I was disappointed though, both by the experience and the actual donuts. Began to order and was told that the lemon poppyseed donut was unavailable and that even though I could see one in front of me, it was "reserved" for another customer. Didn't make much sense that a reserved donut would be on display. Ordered three other donuts and waited for them. While I was waiting, the workers were running around talking about how they were out of certain donuts and told a customer who had already ordered a mocha donut that they actually were out of them. How could they have let someone order the donut if they didn't actually have one for that person?? Didn't make much sense to me. The customer looked upset and I understood why. Very disorganized service and seemed inconsistent. Not sure how they can have bad service like this and still expect people to pay $3 per donut, ridiculous. Beyond that, I was at least hoping that the donuts would be beyond my wildest dreams. No such luck though, they tasted like any other donut I've ever had, if not worse. They lacked flavor, and again, if I'm paying $3 a donut, I expect quality donuts. I've from northern illinois and where I live, you can get a dozen donuts for $7, and they're that much better. Won't be coming back here again. read more

I love the unique flavors of Pandamonium Donuts. It seems there is always some new taste treat to enjoy. Today we enjoyed a maple bacon, a Saigon cinnamon sugar, and a S'mores donut. All were beautiful made and really tasty. We only wish there was more of a selection beyond the ten featured varieties of donuts each day. read more

I'm not a donut fan, but this place will make me go out for donuts. Their rainbow sprinkle flavor is AMAZING. It's subtly sweet but not over the top if you're a cake flavor and sprinkle lover. Their matcha latte is also pretty legit, surprisingly much better than some franchise coffee shops in the area. Since they open early, they close pretty early too. It's a great morning treat when you're feeling a sweet tooth and want something satisfying. read more

I am a big doughnut fan but I felt this place missed the mark. There were only 4 or 5 kinds to choose from. Not a fan of the flavors

For everyone who complains about them running out of donuts before closing, understand that this is how places like this works. It's difficult to estimate how much they need for the day, and it takes time and effort to make these donuts FRESH. If you want to guarantee yourself donuts, get there earlier or else don't get mad if your choice of donut is out of stock. As for the donuts themselves, all I can say is wow. The dough is fluffy and perfectly made. I tried the lavender honey, which had an interesting taste. I think it's one of those where you either like it or you don't- I liked it. I also ordered the chocolate sprinkles, matcha green tea, and blueberry lemon- all delicious in it's own ways. Donuts do run a bit more pricey here (~$2.50) however, the quality is worth the extra dollar that would have been spent on a regular donut from other stores. These donuts aren't really meant for those free-donuts-in-the-break-room-at-the-office, unless you're just that nice. However, these are great for more of a celebratory event. read more

New to the neighborhood, so I thought I'd check out the local donut shop! I love the logo and the atmosphere inside. It's very very cold inside and as far as I could tell, there wasn't guest WiFi. They had a limited donut selection - about 6 different donuts to choose from, but from what I understand that selection changes daily. I came in at noon on a Sunday and there was nobody inside! I thought it would be much busier. The worker was very friendly and welcoming. The price of the donuts was steep! Every donut ranges from $2.75-3.00+! That's super expensive for one donut. I got two donuts and two iced coffees. The iced coffees were over $3 as well. So far, not impressed. Hopefully it all tastes good! I got the raspberry almond donut and the sprinkled donut. The raspberry almond was very raspberry-y, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But it did not cover up the awful taste of the donut. These donuts taste like what a fast food worker would smell like after a long shift. The sprinkled donut tasted like a pile of sugar - at least it didn't taste like grease! As for the iced coffee -- blech!! No matter how much cream and sugar you put into it, it will never taste good. Bitter, burnt, like fresh tar. Needless to say, this was a rough trip and I don't think I'll be back. read more

Pandamonium Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

This is my favorite (and most frequented) food establishment in Champaign. They have incredible doughnuts with a plethora of flavors, and their yeast-style are the best I've ever had (which is saying something, as I'm quite the doughnut connoisseur!). Don't skip out on this place- you can also find their food truck either on campus, at the Urbana Farmer's Market (Saturdays from May to October), or in downtown Champaign. They sell out pretty quickly during the school year, but it is well worth waking up a little earlier to be able to start your day with these wonderful, deliciously soft pillows of happiness. They also serve up some great espresso drinks using House-made strips and Counter Culture coffee; I always get an Americano as they use Counter Culture's Hologram which pairs excellently with their tasty treats. Moral of the story: make the stop, go to Pandamonium- you won't be sorry! Favorites: Mocha (made with Counter Culture coffee glaze- my absolute favorite),Blueberry Lemon, Plain Glazed, Birthday Cake, Rainbow Sprinkles, Chocolate Crumble read more

I love this place, and have been going to it since they were only a food truck. While they do have the food truck still they also have a store front(which lucky for me is right by my house). They always have super interesting combos and I've yet to try one I dont like. My only warning with this place is that it is on the more expensive side. I think I paid upwards of 30ish dollars for a dozen once. THAT BEING SAID, you really are paying for some quality donuts. These aren't gas station donuts these are gourmet donuts so you pay for what you get in my opinion so I don't mind paying the extra money when I go. I also wish they had more donuts closer to 12-1 sometimes I go in on my lunch break or cant get there until mid-day and they're pretty picked over by then which can be disappointing. read more

Fix your hours please. We'll be back at some point, but disappoint it's 12:30PM and your closed on when it says you're open till 2PM.

The yeast doughnuts taste like iced breadsticks, ew.

I only come to this place because my 3 year old loves the cinnamon sugar donut. We only come as a special treat to him because $2.25 for a donut that honestly isn't that great... no thanks. I've tried the other donuts when I've gone in, but the only one I liked was the Girl Scout flavor ones, but they were $2.75 each and not worth it. The other thing that I think is ridiculous is that they run out of donuts. Like completely sell out 2.5 hours before closing time. For being in an actual store front with certain hours, this is just not acceptable. Thank goodness they had 2 of the cinnamon sugar donuts left so my son could have one, but stinks for all the people that came in after us. I understand running out when you have a food truck... totally get that. But I get he vibe that they don't want to make more because they may not sell... but that's the chance you take! And for over $2 a donut... I think they can manage. Honestly, save your money. I only gave this 2 stars because the Girl Scout donut was good and the cinnamon sugar is ok. I love to support small, local business, but the hype is ridiculous. read more

Best doughnuts in CU. They rival the best doughnut shops in Chicago and for very low prices. They will update their available doughnuts on Facebook and usually offer about 7-10 different flavors. Flavors will change constantly and are very unique. Get here early if possible! read more

Delicious donuts - I got the blueberry which had so much blueberry flavor and was delicate enough to melt in your mouth. Only one vegan variety per day, but this was a good one... One more star awarded when it's a yeast-raised because we love those, too!! read more

Pandamonium Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Have had this spot on the list for a few weeks. Finally checked it out over the weekend. The girl working the truck was very kind & helpful when answering all my questions about what's best to order. Ordered four donuts & a small pour over for about $12. $3 for coffee which was very good & strong too I might add. Around $9 for four excellent donuts. I got the glazed, very good size, ate it throughout the day because it was a lot to eat in one sitting. Wife got the Nutella banana donut which she thought was good but not great. Very good service. Only negative was I couldn't go inside to use the restroom but that is to be expected in this climate. read more

This is an absurdly fun gem in the middle of nowhere. Handmade, imaginative donuts made by a local UIUC grad who clearly loves his work. The actual dough is light and fluffy and the flavors are unique, delicious, and not something you'll find at a typical mom and pop donut shop (think lavender and honey). If you're passing through Champaign, don't miss it. read more

Amazing beyond belief. Delivered to my Daughter in Law for her birthday and did not overcharge - even in these crazy times. Thank you

Pandamonium Doughnuts - Vanilla sprinkle, gingerbread, sugar cookie - Donuts Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

When I was in college at UIUC, it was always a treat to get to the Pandamonium truck before they sold out. So, naturally, when I got married in Urbana I had to get their donuts as a cake alternative. We got the mini doughnuts, and made our own display wall. They were such a hit! Everyone loved the doughnuts and we didn't have any left at the end of the night. This is a must-visit place for a treat if you're in the area- their doughnuts are always delicious. read more

Well, I can't really score them either way since I didn't get a chance to sample of any of the donuts. I arrived to the store around 11:30am and they were down to only two kinds of donuts - neither of which I wanted. I understand that they are a small batch kinda location. But to be down that low over two hours before closing? I mean, at least have some glazed. Just make me think that perhaps that don't judge their inventory correctly. Granted this was just one visit. I guess the lesson here is to call ahead to see if they have any flavors you like before you bother to drive over. read more

Drove early from Peoria to get their donuts. 10:20 Am and they only have two kinds of donuts. It's terrible to control supply. Will never come here again. Donuts were good but not worth the gamble of driving here and the store not having donuts to sell. read more

Some of the best doughnuts in the CU area if you're willing to play around with the flavors each time- my personal favorites are the blueberry lemon and Siagon cinnamon sugar. The most recent time I went I got an iced latte and it was pretty bad... it had clumpy chunks that tasted like powdered milk and had an embarrassingly small amount of espresso. Would not recommend the coffee, but the doughnuts are bomb. read more

Love love love Pandamonium! The donuts always are delicious and they have awesome seasonal flavors that change daily (helpful hint: I follow them on Facebook to check in on what they're daily donut specials are, highly recommend! They have a great social media presence!). Always a super friendly staff with fast service. Kinda pricey but definitely worth it for a sweet treat! read more

Donuts are average at best for way above average prices. I'd say that they're better tasting than Dunkin' Donuts, but not by much. The cereal killer and the maple bacon are the two exceptions to this, but every time I've been in their brick and mortar store or at their food truck, they're out of both. Everything else can be gotten anywhere else for cheaper. No thanks. read more

I don't get it with this place. I've been twice now. Both donuts I had were decidedly bad: dry donuts with a ton of candy on top. Way too sweet, I felt lousy after two bites. And I only had a few options to choose from when I got there. Maybe I need to go earlier? But I got there before ten. What kind of business basically runs out within three hours of opening and doesn't make more? But there's no excuse for a dry donut. read more

Let me apologize. So my office had this thing where we would alternate Saturday's we worked and try different bakeries. Well I decided to go to a donut shop. Pandemonium donuts. Decided to double my order and the clerk at the counter acted as though I had canceled Coachella because she had to Re-box donuts. Honestly, the ingredients were awesome but you kiddos are starting a business in the land of Casey's donuts. I felt like I was supporting a science fair project not a donut shop. Don't want to see this fail because only so many trust fund babies can collect historical documents and complain about taxes in mahomet. But at the end of the day, learn to be courteous. read more

I love you Pandamonium! Everything is made from scratch and you can tell. So tasty! Each doughnut seems like it was made with magic just for you. Lemon and Blueberry Lemon are my favorites, but I'm dying to get over there to try the Hanukkah jelly doughnut... read more

BLUEBERRY CAKE DONUT. That's all you really need to know, but I'll keep going. Their cake donuts are amazing, I obviously favor the blueberry, but the yeast donuts are not what you'd typically expect. They're good, just not your typical old fashioned glazed yeast donut. They don't have traditional options like a tiger tail, glazed donut, or long John - but their creations are pretty impressive. My only qualm is that they are usually very, very sweet - but honestly I could eat the blueberry cake donut every single day and not get tired of it, so I really can't complain too much. Service is friendly and prompt, just like it should be at your neighborhood donut shop. read more

Yum! So glad I finally got to check out their brick and mortar! The place itself is really nicely designed and cozy. But honestly, it could look like a hole in the wall and I'd still go there because the donuts are simply amazing. Every flavor I've had has just been better than the last! read more
