    Breakfast sandwich yummy!
    Debbie G.

    The best donuts around! The breakfast sandwiches are so good! A real egg, plentiful bacon or sausage and cheese on a croissant or English muffin. The drive thru goes pretty quick and always friendly service. The apple cider and pumpkin donuts are addictively delicious!

    Stopped by this donut shop after eating at a nearby restuarant. They also have a drive thru but I enjoy going inside donut shops to see. It is a cute place that looks like an old school diner. It is popular, we waited our turn to purchase donuts. I got an old fashioned and a apple cinnamon one. They are decently priced and I enjoyed the texture of the donuts. The workers were helpful and moved as quickly as they could to keep the line and drive thru moving.

    All day long I just wanted a good fried donut but the universe seemed to be conspiring to keep any and all delectable doughs out of my reach. My plans to stop by 4 different spots were thwarted again and again by early Sunday closing times and even a permanent closure. I had just about resigned myself to sadly going to Dunkin' after pulling up to my last option, a pricey but good specialty Korean donut shop in St. Charles, only to find that they were already sold out for the day. I'd come so far. I had to try at least one more search. And that's when a beacon of red hope lit up on my Yelp map screen. "Country Donuts." Just a 15 minute drive away in Elgin. It was not only well-reviewed but supposedly open 24 hours! It sounded too good to be true. Could it really be or was it just some kind of mirage caused by donut deprivation? I had been burned too many times this day so I called ahead to double-check they were in fact a real establishment and was overjoyed when a lovely voice assured me that they were in fact open 24 hours and had plenty of donuts still available past 5pm on a Sunday. I made the drive over and there was my saving grace tucked away at the end of an unassuming strip mall. I noted a family savoring their order in the truck parked next to me as I pulled in and grew excited. Walking in I was surprised to find a he place had the welcome feel of a cozy diner. And then there just past the register was a generously stocked wall of various donuts glowing in the soft light. Initially was going to just grab 2 or 3 but decided on a whim to go with the dozen when I remembered that I had a family cookout to stop by later. They seemed to be a hit. I cut them into halves so that people could sample more than one and every donut I tasted was great. Looking back I should have just ordered another 12 given that it was only $14! I had several people asking me where I had procured this delicious dozen. The vanilla long john, powdered Bavarian and apple cider flavors were standouts to me. I am so happy to have discovered Country Donuts but also a little scared that I may find myself very soon making many a long drive to satisfy my donut needs.

    I was super excited the other day when our office ordered Country Donuts for coffee and donuts day. I love it when they spend a little more (over Dunkin) and get the good stuff. The donuts are always a hit. They taste fresh, have lots of frosting and sprinkles, and are plenty big. I'm not much of a coffee drinker but others enjoyed the coffee. I highly recommend Country Donuts! Whether in the store or at the office, everyone wins with Country Donuts!

    Went in to try Country Donuts for the first time. It's an old diner theme. I got a dozen and all of them look amazing. I tasted one and it was amazing. My only thing was the cashier wasn't the friendliest.

Honestly, I wish I could give them negative numbers because even one star is overrated. I can't speak for their regular menu, but I ordered a surprise bag on the TooGoodToGo app. Maybe I was wrong for assuming it would contain items from the day before, but what I received should not have been given away--let alone sold for any amount. It clearly had been sitting for at least a couple of days. What I received sent a clear message: they don't value their customers. It's profit over people. Why they would serve that crap is beyond my understanding. Honestly, it should have been trashed. It wasn't even palatable. I couldn't tell what the pastries were supposed to be. They were inedible by my standards, but I bit into two different pastries to give them the benefit of the doubt. They weren't just old and stale--they were bland and stingy on the filling. It was obvious they were several days past shelf life and likely not appetizing even when freshly baked. It honestly felt like the cashier just went in the back and threw a handful of old leftovers into a bag. My experience was 4 months ago, I waited and came back here to check out other reviews older and newer before changing mines just in case it was a one off situation. Unfortunately, it seems to be a consistent pattern. Needless to say, I won't be returning.

I ordered a pack of four cupcakes. I was interested in as well as a smoothie and went on my merry way. When I got home, I enjoyed the almond wedding cake cupcake and it was very delicious! Not too sweet, but very elegant and just what I would definitely serve or like to see in a high-end party or event of some kind.

Fear not, Sweets by Kash to the rescue!!! I called Lindsey up about 3.5 months out from our wedding date and explained everything. She did say that was not her specialty, but man she hit it out of the park! We were having a small wedding and wanted to have cheesecake as our "cake". We already had a sweets table and wanted to beef up the options for guests, as well as pay homage to our first date. Our first date was at the Cheesecake Factory and we thought it would be perfect for us. It was easy to set up a tasting. We chose to pick up the cheesecake from Lindsey and have a little date night at home and test it all out. The packaging was super cute and the decorations on top were beautiful. But the flavors, WOW! I think cheesecake is so underrated. It's rich and creamy and is such a great dessert. We devoured the tasting cheesecake in a few days LOL. Honestly, with how simple everything was to set up and get answers to our questions immediately, I knew we had someone good. But the flavors, MMMMMMMMM!!! We didn't even finish an entire piece and I knew Lindsey was the baker for us. We love to support local businesses as well, so in the end everything worked out. So we booked Sweets by Kash and had her deliver to our venue and set up the cheesecake for us. They were all so beautiful and we got so many compliments on the taste. We ordered chocolate chip cheesecake and Oreo, as well as a gluten free chocolate chip cheesecake. Our GF guests really appreciated being able to eat a dessert in its entirety and said it was outstanding. We opted to save the top so we could enjoy that deliciousness all weekend, but someone walked away with it sadly. I will absolutely placing an order so we can celebrate our wedding anniversary with our special cheesecake (and no, I will not be waiting an entire year, because that cheesecake is too dang good to wait!). Thank you Lindsey for being amazing to work with and I don't have the professional photos back yet, but if you zoom in on this one, you can see the lovely set up in the background.
