Hand-dipped
Angela S.

I love Tom's. It's been a really long time since I've been here on a Sunday, because my kids are obsessed with Dunkin' Donuts...they're 13. On our Sunday donut run to the *other* place, I made sure to drop by Tom's, because I was yearning for one of their classic chocolate donuts. If you're a fan of Dinkel's donuts, this is the closest I've had to their chocolate donut. The anatomy of a Tom's chocolate donut: * Hand-dipped chocolate donut made in the back * Crispy outside * Melt-in-your-mouth inside * Not too dense, and a little light * Delicious! Small shop with Mexican pastries. Today's discovery (darn I left my phone in the car) sugar skulls! $3 for a small size. SUPER COOL! Now you'll have to go back just to see the skulls! Nice to be back.

I love donuts and have been wanting to try them out and finally did! Sooo good! And the price is wonderful! We picked them up around 730am and they were still warm! So far have tried the yeast/fluffy donuts; nice and light. The glaze and chocolate is just sweet enough. The cinnamon roll is good. Could be a little more cinnamon and sticky, but overall it's nice. It's not heavy. The Boston cream filling is nice and smooth. It doesn't leave that funky after taste some do. Tried the jelly from the jelly donut and not sure what it is, seems like a cross between raspberry and strawberry. Whatever it is, it's great! Also got an Apple fritter, a cake to try later. Best kept secret in highwood! If you like donuts you need to check them out! They also have other pastries and I can't wait to try those. You get a platter and tongs and you pick out what you want.

Their donuts are very fluffy and delicious!!!!! I love this place. Only thing is, cash and check only. No credit cards!

I loved the cake donuts!

I came here just for donuts and am pleased! I'm excited to share them. I got 14 donuts for $10.32, I think you pay price per ounce of donuts. Donuts are really fresh. You pick then yourself with tongs and put them on a tray- and the cashier puts em in a box for you. Cash or check only. I would come back!

Boston cream doughnut! Very yummy.

Just found this local gem located in between Highwood and lake forest right off of Sheridan Rd. The donuts here are soooo amazing and the prices are very reasonable. Since it was just me I didn't want to go too nuts with the amount of doughnuts I purchased, so I got a Boston cream, glazed and an apple fritter. Just loved them as they were not greasy or heavy and the Boston cream actually had a lot of custard in it! Don't you hate it when you get a cream doughnut and there is barely any in it? I do! Besides doughnuts they also have a great selection of Mexican pastries which looked very good. Perhaps next time I will give them a whirl. As a warning, make sure to bring cash. They do not accept credit/debit cards. Additionally, get there early. This place is very popular with the local community so I would bet they run out quickly.

There are no longer doughnuts here as advertised. Looks like a nice Mexican bakery, but not what we were craving.

Go early so you have the best selection of donuts. They are well priced and fresh. What else could you want?

Fantastic pastries for a fantastic price. My favorites are the Boston Creme donuts and a dense cake that I don't even know the name of.

Super light and delicious yeast donuts that are always fresh. A baker's dozen for $7.99?! Can't beat that!

Love the wings and sandwiches The bowls are good but not…read morehuge servings Will absolutely eat there again

When we went to Vietnam for a 5-day side trip back in March, 2025, we were fortunate to have tasted…read moresome very good Vietnamese food, including a Michelin-starred dinner and a Michelin Gourmand lunch. Some of my very memorable foods include every bowl of beef pho that was offered to us. The beef was tender and flavorful, the pho (rice noodles) was thin and smooth. Tonight, we were having takeout from one of our favorite eateries, Basu, again. Since the first bowl of beef pho that did not totally meet our expectations, we had been ordering chicken pho from them. Their grilled chicken has always been smooth and cooked nicely. Their sweet soy glazed chicken wings are finger-licking good. We like their ground pork egg rolls with crunchy skin as well. This time I wanted to give their beef pho another chance, and see how it would compare to those that I had in Vietnam, and hope that they have made some improvement over two and a half years. Well, it is still the same. The beef was not tender, although not too chewy, it was kind of rough. The pho was not as smooth as I would like it to be. The broth still tasted good and not too salty, though. The chicken pho and egg roll were still good. (We remove the side bag of raw bean sprouts, lime, and basil from the order, as we don't eat them). It is a still a solid 4-star. Next time I will switch back to chicken pho again. I am still glad that we have this Vietnamese eatery close by!
