What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"My second favorite donuts in Chicago. Stopped by on my last day in the city to finally try this place. I’ve always defaulted to Donut Vault whenever I’m in town, so I kept missing out. They’re more known for their fried chicken sandwich, but a lot of locals told me the donuts here are low-key some of the best in Chicago. Picked up a half-dozen, and most of what we tried was genuinely good. The buttermilk old-fashioned didn’t have that delicate, crackly texture I love from DV’s old-fashioned, but it was still amazing. The maple bacon and the cheese Danish were also solid. Maybe not dethroning Doughnut Vault good, but definitely worth a stop."
"Longtime donut/breakfast sandwich customer, every menu item is great! First time trying the original chicken sandwich. It was amazing! Crispy and well marinated chicken with a perfect balance of crunchy pickle slices and lettuce. A creamy mayo with a pickle relish in it helps create a unique briny flavor. Hand cut Fries were perfectly cooked. I added a little Cholula to my sandwich and it was a whole different and delicious taste. Friendly staff. Wonderful experience as usual! Stop in and grab a stool!"
"Great little shop, making made to order sandwiches and fresh donuts all day. We showed up about an hour before close and they were still having fresh donuts come out to the front. There was a little bit of seating inside, but a good covered outdoor patio with plenty of tables. The guy at the counter was super friendly and made lots of great recommendations. Generally I'm more of a very light Krispy Kreme donut type. The vanilla bean glazed and chocolate glasses are outstanding high level example of this. I don't generally go for cake donuts however these are really good. Any of the old fashioned are cakey, but crispy with a soft, fluffy interior. These are amazing! Of special note, the Meyer lemon and pistachio donut is amazing! Sweet, tangy, savory, nutty, a little bit of salt. This flavor combination is just perfect. If you're a fan of Boston Cream donuts, these have to be one of the best I've ever tasted. The chicken was great as well, hot, fresh, juicy. My daughter had the tenders, my wife had a breakfast sandwich, and I had a chicken sandwich. Her's was on the brioche, I had mine on a donut. All of us were very happy! Donut sandwich is kinda messy... But totally worth it. I can see why the locals spoke so highly of it. The valet at my hotel didn't even hesitate when I asked him somewhere I should try, he said one block up and 4 over, I go here all the time."
"I had the Chicken sandwich, a cold brew and a couple of donuts. The sandwich and coffee were excellent... but the Old fashioned donut was the true star of this show. The top had a high surface area/crunch on top of an excellent crumb and a perfect level of sweetness. I will be bringing my family here when theyre in town."
"If you're looking for a donut that's a little different, this is the place. What makes Do-Rite's donuts stand out is their texture - they have a wonderful crispy exterior that makes for a satisfying bite, unlike the softer donuts you find at most shops. The Buttermilk Old Fashioned was a perfect example of their style and tasted great. I also decided to try the Maple Bacon donut, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The shop itself had a relaxed feel, with plenty of space to dine in and not much of a crowd. The service was very friendly and the whole experience was easy and pleasant. It’s a great spot to enjoy a unique and delicious donut."
"Love this spot! Big donut fan. Favorite spot for chicken, donuts, and breakfast sandwich in chi town!"
