The best part about spunky dunkers is that' it's open 24 hrs and I must say the midnight donuts …read more. I'd say a 3.5 to 4. They were delicious but we knew we weren't getting the best of the batch and also noticed people in the back making tons of donuts. So we decided to return for a 7 am donut run....... PERFECTION! The donuts were sooooo fresh and sweet and there were soooooo many flavors - the huge apple fritter was moist and our new favorite was the payday with vanilla, caramel icing and peanuts. But I think what really stood out was how long the donuts taste good after you buy them and Spunky Dunkers didn't disappoint. Get them home and in a ziploc bag or Tupperware and they tasted just as good 2 days later This place isn't a secret either and I see why. There were at least 10 people crowded around the cashier counter first thing in the morning for a fresh batch.

I would love to give 5 stars for just the donuts themselves but not for the service…read more I was introduced to the donuts by a coworker who brought them in to work and I fell in love with them so I decided to go out of my way and drive here to get some for my family. As soon as I came in through the door and said HELLO , the woman in front didn't reply or even look my way at all and the whole time I'm picking out donuts, she acted so impatient and unfriendly. Her actions made me feel anxious and angry and I just wanted to be done with the order and leave asap. No matter how good the donuts are, I would never be back after that kind of interaction. It's too bad that they sell such sweet wonderful donuts but have such a sour person as your first person to take care of you.

The most fresh and delicious donuts around!! The owners are very gracious and helpful.read more

I was so happy to come across this local gem and obviously I was in the right place for donuts…read morebecause the people just keep coming by the twos and threes lol. The donuts were fresh and moist and plump and the icing and glazes were thick and evenly distributed over the dough. No wild gimmicks- just smiles from behind the counter and donuts that don't look like they're about to die. The only critique I have is that the flavors are a little more distinct. However I don't like my donuts with a bunch of stuff on top to produce a flavor either ...... so yeah- I will definitely be going back

TLDR: Would come back here for the brunch items, but not the donuts…read more 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.

I came in during the weekday, around 5:15, about a month ago. There was not one person in sight. I…read moresaid hello a couple of times without any replies. I dodged traffic on Arlington Heights Road to park at the lot across the street so I was committed to buy. I placed my order at the kiosk. There was an option to tip and stupid me, I tipped! Waited for someone to come out to greet me or pack my order. I was the only person in the store. There was plenty of seating, the tabletops were a little dirty, the floor had crumbs, but nothing gross. Approx. 5 mins later a girl popped out of the back wearing a T-shirt, called my name (yes - there was still no other customer in the store) handed me a box, and didn't say anything else. I asked her for a bag so I wouldn't lose my mochi donuts as I dodged traffic on AH back to my car. She bagged up my box and handed it to me. There was no hello, no thank you, no have a good day, not a sound except for my name. For about $40 a DOZEN (after tax), I would have expected some sort of customer service. I really hope this was a one off, not the normal for business. The donuts were good. They were fresh and chewy. The flavors popped and were a nice treat. However, for the cost and lack of customer care, I'm going to keep looking for another mochidonut location. At almost $4 for a donut, come out and say HI! The owner needs to do better at training employees.

Love their loaf of Japanese sweet potato bread! No place to eat inside the shop but they bake fresh…read morebread everyday. This is typical bakery style in Japan.

We returned and our favorite friendly staffer Jun was on duty. The wife picked up a couple loaves…read moreof her favorite item here, and that is their tip-top fresh milk bread. I did get to clarify with Jun that the current owner also owns the other Bakery Crescent location in the Joong Boo Market in Schaumburg, and he's not the Pastry House Hippo bakery owner in Mitsuwa Marketplace. That's just for the record, but it doesn't take anything away from the excellent and very reasonably priced products here.

However, the past few times I've ordered from there, the products have been somewhat underwhelming. Got two kolaczki's and both were very dry. Also got a slice of German chocolate cake and it was dry, too sweet, and tasted old. The doughnuts are generally very good as well as the coffee cakes. But the pastries do not taste as good as they look behind the counter. I admit, I did arrive about 20 minutes before closing, but that should not affect the taste that much.

Small-local- not a chain- go support!!! For the pros: Great…read moreservice overall. The Black Forest cake was delicious and beautiful and they did an excellent job. Donuts, apple fritters, and eclairs were very tasty. The custards were yummy. Cons: Place was dead, not one customer to be found on a Saturday morning at 7:30am. Stop going to the chain coffee joints and try a small place that needs us. I preordered a little leas than $100 worth of cakes, pies, and pastries so I grabbed some of the cookies to make it $100. The butter cookies are $33 a lb. Ouch! As soon as you take a bite they fall apart and crumble everywhere. The kids didn't like the taste and didn't eat any of them, a waste of $12. No prices anywhere other than the boxed goods or coffee signs. 4% fee for using a credit card which I get, but have it posted better. Couple small signs I caught over by the fresh stuff saying price tags reflect cash price, but yet didn't see prices anywhere other than on shelves by boxed stuff. Have prices posted. French silk pie was very thick and not very chocolaty. No one really cared for it, def would not get again. I looked back at receipt after I left and see a random charge for "open retail" for $3.12, no clue what that is. So was over charged for something I didn't get.

Stopped by Mini Donut Factory and absolutely loved it! The mini donuts were definitely the…read morehighlight for me. They were served hot, fresh, and made right in front of us, which made them even better. There are so many different flavors and topping combinations to choose from, so there's truly something for everyone. My favorites were the Fruity Pebbles, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and the classic chocolate sprinkles. Honestly, every flavor we tried was delicious. We also got the Donut Dubai Cup, Strawberry Chocolate Cup, and an iced coffee, and everything was great. The staff was friendly, the donuts were fresh, and the whole experience was fun from start to finish. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a sweet treat in the area!

Pleasantly surprised when visiting Joe Donuts! The Itasca location is within the Ricky Rockets Fuel…read moreCenter. They have their own dedicated entrance, seating areas inside & outside, and a nice ordering counter. They have a wide variety of donut flavors but they seemed to be selling fast since it's the weekend. I highly recommend coming early to have your choice of donuts as I'm not sure how often they restock. When visiting, I tried their Boston Cream donut, Gimme My Regular breakfast sandwich, and Caramel High-Rise Coffee. The donut had a really good flavor of chocolate icing and custard filling. I got my coffee iced and it was the perfect sweet coffee treat. The breakfast sandwich was by far the favorite. The portion was huge and is easy to share or have leftovers. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would certain come back!
