Apple fritters. Their other stuff is quite tasty too... but those apple fritters will live in your mind forever. Ill just be going about my day - and BOOM - random thought of tasty apple fritter. Its why Im here now at 238am because I needed to see what time they opened so I can get a few fritters in the morning before going to the airport.
I phone ordered 4 dozen donuts, and because this is for work - i have asked if they could individually package them - and it was very nice of them for having that option and its only additional $1.00 per dozen!I had the order to pick up at 7, was not able to get there till 710 - they have it all packed and ready to do - nicely setup with two trays that all donuts fit in well.Two dozen of regular and two dozen of specialty - very quickly 2 1/2 dozen was gone and I got nothing but praise for these donuts! Multiple people asked me where I got them from - and you dont usually care where donuts are from unless its worth the ask.Forget to take the picture, hopefully there is some crumb left by the time i circle back for a picture :D
We stopped in twice as to try different donuts in the selection lineup they have. It’s a nice little shop and the owners are very friendly. The raised donuts are very good. The filled donuts we had on both occasions didn’t have much filling. While the fillings, cream and custard are delicious, they need to increase the filling as there is not enough in the donut. The cake donuts need improvement as they are too small and the flavoring of the blueberry through the donut tasted like the filling used for the filled donuts leaving them a little gummy. Glaze and chocolate topping are really good and applied nicely. The toasted coconut donut at other shops have the coconut encompass the entire donut. At this shop it’s only on the top. Old fashioned glazed donuts were ok but were a little dry. Kudos as none of the donuts were oily or left any greasy residue in the box. This is a nice shop and with improvements and tweaks could be a real winner!
Absolutely love this place - best donuts in the area! Very kind owners as well, a must if you enjoy supporting small local businesses.
I think I did the order ahead/pickup wrong, but they were incredibly nice. Tried the maple bacon and the toasted coconut. Both tasted great, but more exciting than the toppings were the donuts themselves! Really delicate texture and very fresh. Will definitely be back.
A solid 4 out of 5. The donuts are inexpensive relative to downtown Chicago, but they dont compromise quality. They provide STELLAR VALUE for the quality and size of donuts. My favorites were the glazed buttermilk and apple fritter. Both had good crunch and superb moisture and flavor. The fritter had a well-balanced flavor and had a good amount of apple. Not the BEST apple fritter in Chicagoland -- that crown belongs to D&Ds Place at 83rd and Kedzie -- but far and above any other offering in the Northwest Suburbs, especially considering the price. The atmosphere is also very kid-friendly.With that being said, 2 out of the 6 or so tables needed to be wiped of donut crumbs despite only one other customer being there. Their salted caramel isnt fancy aside from the flecked salt (but good considering the price). Chocolate and cake base on the double chocolate cake was standard quality. Most underwhelming was the dough on the yeast-raised and old fashioned donuts. Although the yeast-raised looked delectably light and airy, and although the old fashioned had a decent crunch, they were both a little bit dry and flavorless for my liking.Despite the cons, I think it is a good Northwest Suburban option for sharing at work or dropping in to satisfy a craving because of the relatively low cost and above average quality.
This is 1st time I an trying from this place but completely worth it 👍. There Donuts 🍩 are so fresh and very tasty 😋. Very affordable and lots of different varieties. Must try.
I’ve driven by this place every day on the way to work for 2.5 years and finally decided it was time to drop in for a visit.So many different varieties of donuts, all so pretty on display. :)I wanted to try the ube donut, but unfortunately it’s not in season for the winter. :(So I went with my all-time fav, the Boston cream donut. It was delicious and sweet, with a very good custard filling.Friendly staff and plenty of parking in the strip mall made for a very pleasant experience. Be sure to drop in for these gourmet donuts!
We just picked up a valentine donut decorating kit. It came with 6 heart shaped donuts, frosting, sprinkles, and little utensils for decorating. My kids loved the experience and the donuts were delicious. Please do this all the time! It was an easy take home activity that was fun for everyone and most importantly- delicious!
I love donut drop. Best donuts Ever!!. Duking Donuts and Crispy Cream need to sit down in the corner somewhere. The mic has been dropped... boom
I will always support a local Asian-owned business, especially if the food and service is great. I love the variety of options! Ube lovers rejoice!!!!! And they have matcha latte!!!
Absolutely delicious! Was in and out quickly. Friendly staff!
First time here and i would love to say it is a great place fresh donuts and the Bacon egg and cheese bagel is delicious freshly made.Would recommend......
Tried this place on a whim after having a donut craving. They had these purple ube donuts. Decided to give them a try. OMG, absolutely delicious. I went back the next week for more. I also tried the maple bacon which was also very good as well as the ube w coconut. I’ll be back!
Love. Love. Love. Creative donuts that are delicious! Support local business and check this place out but get there early on the weekends. They literally run out of donuts before noon!
Thanks for making us that HUGE donut cake for our wedding guys. Sooooo gooood!
This place is a hidden gem and anyone that leaves a bad review is just being a picky A-hole. These donuts are always delicious and moist even days after I get them. Online ordering is a BREEZE and the curbside pickup is amazing. These are true bakery style donuts and for the quality and delicious taste, the price is very reasonable. Employees are very nice and service is always amazing. Definitely go here but order the night before! :)
We wanted a cake for my sons birthday, and by the time we called they were closed. We sent them an email in hopes of a response. They responded immediately and had our cal ready first thing In the morning! When we stopped in we had to grab a couple more, and they were beyond fresh and delicious! Thank you so much!!
Love this place. Donuts are delicious and not overly sweet.
So fresh and such a great selection. They have coffee, lattes and breakfast sandwiches too!
The best doughnuts and coffee to start your day with ! I love this place, the owners are friendly and welcoming and reasonable prices too 👍👍
I like donut Drop. Especially the donut cakes with strawberry icing. Their strawberry icing amazing.
Online ordering was simple and easy. Donuts were fresh and tasted great. My favorite was the blueberry cake. They even had a wheel you could spin when I went in to pick up, and I got a free hot chocolate. This place is better than Spunky Dunkers. I would come here again!
Brought a classic dozen into the office and there were only compliments! The apple fritter is the best I have had anywhere!
Finally have a weekend off but got up early to make sure I can get the ube donut to try, that was sooo good!!! We are very satisfy with most of our selections. Need to try good spot for donuts
As far as donuts go they have AMAZING donuts!! The 3 stars I gave is more for the available stock of supply they have. They seem to run out of stock HOURS before they close for the day. This hasn’t happen to us once. On more than one occasion I’ve driven 30 minutes to get there only to be told there’s 4-5 donuts left or none at all. I feel like they need to organize better and plan to have enough supply for all their customers.
Ordered from them online for Easter and they made everything so easy. We especially love the apple fritter and the blueberry donut. Will order from here again. My whole family raves about it. The people that run it are so friendly too! We will be back!
Great independent donut shop. They’ve catered an event for hundreds for me and they were super flexible. My kiddos love the place too.
I dont generally get donuts, but this place is actually really good
I just had an apple fritter (not my first and certainly not my last) from the Donut Drop. It was so fresh, it was still warm. I consistently find their product to be superior to all of their competitors. Ive sampled a lot of donuts over the years. The Donut Drop is simply the best donut available, for my money. Thank you for your excellent product.
Fantastic local place. Great people that own it. Amazing donuts made fresh daily. The Old fashioned, apple fritters, and blueberry donuts are exceptional.They also have cold brew made in house.
Some of the best donuts Ive ever had
If youre looking for fantastically fresh donuts, you have to stop by donut drop. These guys are churning them out daily and every flavor is a winner. Great donuts, great owners!
Great doughnuts, custard filled was my favorite but the kids liked the fancier ones best. Great rolls and croissants.
Delicious donuts! Just make sure to order ahead as they are waste-conscious and don’t over make and then throw out. We are addicted to their donuts- nothing has disappointed us at all! 😀👍🏻
OMG everyone needs to try theses donuts the best donuts in this area. Never old not do the donuts set out to get hard. I Love the staff,they are so kind and helpful.
Hands down, the best donuts I have ever had. They have a great selection, and I can save my donuts for the next day, and they are still so soft! Everyone here is so nice, and I love the family feel to it. Thank you for all that you guys do!!
It was my first visit. They have delicious donuts, a great small business vibe, owners are very friendly! I will definitely visit again when Im in town.
Best donuts in the area! Try the nutella Smores, one of our favorites
Very good donuts!!!
Such a charming donut shop! The owners are super friendly and donuts are delicious. We got a variety of donuts in the form of two dozen. The cream cheese croissant, cherry pie donut and old fashioned were some notable good ones. I will be back and need to try their coffee drinks out.
BEST donuts ever. 10/10 would recomend
Our son told us this shop was amazing and he was right. Very nice people and the donuts are the best. Will definitely be coming back.
The donuts are amazing. Ive been here a few times now. Employees are super friendly and helpful. I wish they open a little earlier in Saturdays though.
Mad donut scientists reside here. Ive been hearing about this place for a while and I finally got to try it and uuuuunnnnggghhhhh so good.
Came at 1120. They close at 12.But they were Closed and out of doughnuts....
THE BEST AROUND BAR NONE! HUUUUUUGE apple fritters! Nicest owners youll ever meet, too. Great bagel egg & sausage, too!
Love this small mom and pop donut shop. Its got great yeast and cake donuts. Always fresh, always soft. Highly recommend!
Really good donuts! The company I work for always orders from here for our monthly meetings. I stop in and get some for the family. Great friendly service. They seem to come up with new additions to their menu. I love this place and the staff!
One of the best donut places in the area! Reminds me of a little Voodoo Donuts without the expensive price of Voodoo Donuts. Co-owners very nice and the smores donut was on point. I recommend getting there early so you can check out the other variety of donuts available. If you love donuts you have to visit donut drop.
I tried their donuts for the first time a few months ago. Not impressed. Donuts were greasy and had an after taste. I miss Deerfields Bakery so much!
Really great donuts. Theres space to have a bite there or bring a box to your destination and make lots of friends. Voted best donuts by my work crew.
Excellent donuts! Was going to go to Dunkin but when I saw it was in a gas station, decided not to go and came here instead. Glad we did! Both me and the kids loved them! Great flavor and taste. Oh, and fresh. We came in at 11AM and didn’t get 6AM donuts. We got at least 10:45 AM donuts. Thanks!
Best doughnuts!
The selection looked so good, it was hard to choose! Went with the Nutella Smore which was delicious! Great quick service.
Literally the best donuts ever made. Go right now!
Great quality and innovative donuts. Even an Ube flavor. Only one bad experience where they did not check if there was enough almond milk for my latte and had to give me a cup a little more than half full. Poor planning otherwise best donuts in the area
Super delicious donuts! Only available while they last so get their early. Staff is awesome and friendly.
HOLY COW! So good! The donuts are HUGE and there are so many to choose from. Staff was friendly and helpful, and prices were more affordable than our usual bakery. Highly recommend!
My favorite, locally owned (I know the owners, super good people), Donut Shop. Mom and Pop, he even blend his own coffee! Stop in and check them out. You wont be disappointed. They have an excellent array of donuts to choose from!
The sandwiches are so good. Like home breakfast👌
This is my first time ever writing a review. These donuts are amazing! Nice hot and fresh, the Nutella puff is so tasty and smooth. The fact that they open so early is a huge plus for us early morning risers. Definitely worth it and highly recommended.
Best donuts I ever had. Need to make sure you get there early in the morning because they sell out so fast. That is how good they are.
This place is putting out high caliber dounts. In an office donut club where Dunkin Donuts are frowned upon. This club favorite comes very highly recommended.
Donuts are tasty! They live up to the hype of other reviewers.Taking off 1 star because:1. Selection 30 mins after opening was not good. Many options were already gone2. Box for 1/2 dozen is too small. Donuts get stacked on top of each other instead of laying flat3. Maple was lacking in flavor
Very tasty and fresh donuts 😋
Amazing donuts! Some of the best youll EVER have in your life
Some of the best donuts in the Northwest Suburbs
Too good I guess. 11:30am when they close at 1:30pm. And sold out. Hmmmm
I used to be a faithful customer until I can in this morning, I ordered a dozen donuts...The same ones I usually purchase, the lady rung me up and said $16....I didnt understand why I was paying so much, she explained to me that I got specialty donuts.....I never even heard this before... Long story short no one in their right mind should charge $16 for a dozen donuts, also after being a long time customer. I am NOT going to be returning to donut drop.
Fantastic donuts but fabulous FRITTERS! Wow, they got those just right, crispy, flavorful, perfect sweetness and still melts in your mouth. The only thing that could be better is the calories, if they had none I would be buying 6 fritters a day. No, really, theyre that good. Dont believe me? Try one and if you know of a better fritter let me know, because theres not one...
Stopped in after having lunch next door. WOW...what a surprise. Maybe the best buttermilk Ive ever had! Cant wait to go back and try more!
Best donuts in area!
The donut drop is the bomb, great tasting every time ya go
Excellent Donuts! They have that fresh out of the fryer taste. Definitely has a homemade taste.
Do yourself a favor and stop what you are doing and go to get an Apple Fritter from the Donut Drop. Charlie and Lilian know how to run a small business. They are charming and the food is fantastic. If you want to make a morning meeting more fun or say thank you to someone consider swinging by the Donut Drop and picking up some treats. You won’t regret it!
Fun neighborhood donut shop. Great selection of craft donuts, a favorite at the shop is the old fashioned, and Im taken by the smores and Nutella! Friendly service and it seems like the cafe channel on Pandora is playing in the overhead speakers. There is a steady stream of people on Saturday mornings, but there were plenty of seats. Will be back for sure!
You have to stop in and try! Took my daughter to Half Priced Books up the street on a Saturday and looked up a local doughnut place on Yelp. Rather than hit up Dunkin, we wanted something special. Boy did we find it! Doughnuts were delicious and affordable. Grabbed a maple frosted, chocolate long john and cookies and cream frosted + a coffee. They tasted fresh, just like a doughnut should. Only issue was the place could have been cleaner, looked like it needs a top to bottom cleaning. Overall these guys are doing it right!
Neat little spot tucked in the back corner of a small strip of shops. Both the yeast raised and the cake donuts are excellent - great flavor and cooked perfectly. The staff are friendly and helpful. I stopped in early (6am) and the specialty donuts had not been started yet. That would be my only complaint.Update...stopped in on a Saturday around 10am and there were still plenty of fresh selections left (luckily). Boston cream, maple glazed and red velvet (cake) are excellent. All have great flavor and are not too sweet. And the coffee is hot and fresh. Great donut shop.Update: I keep coming back! Had a bear claw today and it is still warm. Turns out they last thing they make each day. Possibly the best bear claw Ive ever had. Not as dense as many, warm, great flavor, slightly doughy and fluffy. Great cinnamon and apple flavor. And the husband and wife owners are really good people.NOTE: they are closed the last Sunday of each month.
I had their donuts for the first time today and they were amazing. Butter Crunch was super good. Will definitely be going back soon.
This place never disappoints! The donuts are always fresh and delicious
Donut drop has the best donuts on the planet. Their glazed donut is off the charts good! Try their maple bacon donut!
It was very good donut shop and delicious donut. The best homemade donuts Ive ever eaten.
These are the BEST donuts in the northwest suburbs and perhaps the best donuts I have ever had. Do not hesitate to grab a dozen. You will regret anything less.
Donuts made fresh everyday. Pre-order is a must when needing a large order as donuts do run out fast. Coffee is percolated versus drip unlike most places.
Best ever donuts i have tasted in the city. Reach out before 9.30 AM or else you will see sold out board
Quiet hard to find dough nut shop that has really good donuts. Went in early one day and had some great donuts.
Best donuts ever. Support local business
The best donuts in Illinois!The owners are great, the donuts are fresh I mean fresh! The only way to get a fresher donut is to make it yourself.....
Fluffy, light, just enough sweetness, just the right price. How donuts should be. A small shop just under a year old. Friendly service, and they got board games to just chill.
If you like old time donuts with a twist of new then this is the pace! Delicious
Hands down, the best donuts in the Northwest suburbs. Moist on the inside and fried to perfection on the outside
