I am always absolutely amazed when donut shops get a 5 star rating. They are donuts, they are fried in oil. If a donut establishment makes a decent product they stay in business, if not, your out of business! I have had my fair share of Donuts at many establishments, Dimples makes a decent donut, they are able to keep the coffee brewing, the cooking oil hot and the neon signs lit, and that's it! It's a donut. I stop in from time to time usually to pick up an order placed the day before for a dozen or two or three. generally for business purposes. For the most part the order is never ready and then I view a frantic gab and go by the attendant, handfuls of pink frosted donuts, plain donuts, the nasty tasting brown icing donuts and the dreaded cinnamon crumb donut...a bountiful harvest of what doesn't sell quickly. Hey Alicia who lives in Milwaukee...You cant find a "Killer Donut in Milwaukee", the land of grease and butter? That's my point! read more

I'm not what you'd call the biggest fan of donuts. Honestly, when it comes to breakfast food, it's pretty much bacon or GTFO. On occasion, I do have a hankering for a fried ring of dough. Husband and I have been to Dimples twice and both times were good. Not great. I like that everything is homemade, and they have a killer buttermilk donut, but their yeast donuts leave a lot to be desired. Maybe it's because we get there later on weekends (if you'd call 9 am late) so we get the sort of "donut dregs" if you will. Still, the owners are super friendly and we'll probably visit again. FYI: they do take credit cards but under $10 is a $1 charge, but they give you a donut to make up for it. Plan accordingly. read more

Minimal selection with prices ranging all over the place for donuts which makes making a dozen a weird concept. Up charge for different donuts they need to just streamline pricing like everyone else. read more

This is my favorite donut shop I have ever been to. When compared to a large chain like Dunkin Donuts, Dimples is the clear choice. While there may not be as much variety as a large chain would have, the quality is the biggest difference. The donuts here are all delicious, especially the cake donuts. I have never had a cake donut anywhere that came close to the ones at Dimples. I don't know what they do to make it so delicious, but I don't really care. The service is always great. There have been a couple of times where I was even given a handful of free donut holes to go along with my purchase, which was always appreciated. The only downside is probably that their selection goes down as the day progresses. If you show up after the typical breakfast rush then your favorite type of donut might be missing, though that is understandable considering the size of the shop. read more

brought home a variety of donuts this morning and all but one were stale and dry! It is sad when I could buy boxed donuts that have been sitting at store for days and taste fresher than these! No way were these made fresh at the very least they were a day old. Not even our daughter who eats anything sweet finished her donut. Shame on you Dimples. Disgusting! read more

Their old fashioned are to die for. Have been going here since I was 5 and they are still amazing!

I have been to this place twice. One time at the St Charles location where the lady was very rude. Possibly she had a bad morning but she was not pleasant or even friendly in anyway at 6:30 am. She continued to say everything was EXTRA. I did get donuts and they were not that great for anything to pay extra for. There are places I would pay extra for not these though. I decided to try the Batavia location. I just wanted a dozen donuts. Doesn't seem that hard. Except there are all kinds of rules to the dozen donuts. You can only have 1 of these, 2 those, Maximum 3 in a dozen. WHY????? I get specialty donuts but an old fashion, or a boston cream not to mention the many other that have rules. Why does it need to be that hard. I ask if there is a price for a dozen donuts that includes maybe 6 regular or 6 of what they consider special donuts, there is not. I did not even bother with the donuts because the last time they were not that great and a dozen donuts should not be that complicated. There is always country donuts elgin, dunk donuts in Melrose Park, Blue Goose, and stans if you want to pay extra. read more

I've been to dimples, god knows how many times and all I can say is, they DO have the best donuts in town! My favorites have got to be the fruitsticks, glazed old fashioned and their bearpaws (they make them look like an actual bear paw). Aside from the tastiest donuts, their customer service is up to par and not to mention they've won a bunch of awards years after years. There's always a long line when I stop by, not sure if it's the timing. Give it a try, the calorie is way worth it!!! read more

The cake donuts are amazing! They sometimes have bacon maple donuts. They are worth the calories!!

These donuts are the best! Very fresh, tasty, and the apple fritters.... yum! You won't be disappointed with Dimples Donuts.

Dimples Donuts is everything! Perfect place for kids, adults, and all people who love donuts! This place is really good! They have plenty of flavors! But my favorite is their Blueberry and the one glazed with sugar. Also, the plain one is worth trying. Really love and am amazed at how they made their donuts. Super soft and the quality says it all. The whole place has a great atmosphere, especially the interior. Very relaxing and enjoyable. They have plenty of seating, the aisle is wide, and the designs around are cool. Well-maintained spot! The folks here are also awesome, all of them are friendly, helpful, and personable. They will always smile at you. They will even greet you upon entering the place. Dimples Donuts is phenomenal! Best donut place in the whole area. I have never been to any place like this. So happy to have this place nearby. Definitely worth it! I'm giving this place a 5-star because their donuts are the best! Very affordable and the portions are big. Pricing aside, this place is really worth visiting! I would really love to go back here again soon when I got some free time. Can't wait to explore other flavors from their menu. Thanks for an awesome experience! Keep it up! read more

Always nice and great local homemade donut spot! Great selection and delicious. The staff is nice and if you preorder large order, they'll be happy to accommodate! read more

The donuts were good. Not totally impressed tho. Nothing special. But quality definitely better than DD. Probably would not go out of my way to go back. Service was lacking a bit. My favorite was the their version of an apple fritter. read more

Dimples Donuts - The guy stacked the chocolate on top of the vanilla so some frosting came off. Amateur. - Donuts Near Me - Batavia, Illinois

This place sucks. I drove 45 minutes to try since there really aren't any good donut places near me, and I saw this had decent reviews. Ended up paying $10 for a half dozen small donuts. They are super greasy and overly doughy. They leave a nasty slick in your mouth after taking a bite. I tried the old fashioned first and it was mushy and tasted like it had been soaked in a McDonald's French fry tank. Jelly one was also horrible, as was the custard filled, which had a gross aftertaste and was also very greasy. The dough tastes like biting into a large hunk of uncooked pizza dough. Ended up throwing most of them out, because they aren't even worth the effort it takes to chew them. Also, you will have to run to the store and spend an additional $5 on a family sizing bottle of mouthwash to get the gross taste out of your mouth. Save your money. Don't come here. read more

I love cake donuts but these should be illegal. Not for the easily addicted. Eat at your own risk. Did I mention that these are habit forming? read more

mmmmm....donuts... I get my Homer Simpson on here whenever a cheat day on my diet pops up. What I have learned from frequenting Dimples is this: get there early, like hella early, like before 8:30am on a weekend early; bring cash, and only order as many donuts as you will allow yourself to eat in 1 sitting - they won't last. What are you waiting for? Go get yourself some, before i clear the place out! read more

These Donuts are amazing. I've been waiting for a great donut shop in the suburbs. Don't taste like Wax like Dunkin Donuts do! Everyone at my office is a huge fan! read more

Dimples, Ahh Dimples... best cake donut and donut frosting EVER! I don't even like frosting and I LOVE this frosting. It's like with every bite of donut, the frosting melts in your mouth like you are having a glass of milk with your donut. Incredible! When I asked the nice lady behind the counter about their amazing frosting, she told me the secret ingredient is "love". This is an old fashioned donut joint at its finest! read more

Errrmaaaahhhgaawwwddd donutssss! I recently watched a show on the food network that featured a few of the best shops in the country and so for the past 3 days, I've been craving a donut. I usually only get donuts a few times per year so I was ready for a cheat and man did I go all out! I made fun of my brother for ordering a bear claw since we were there for the donuts but that was the best one out of the box. It reminded me of grandma's sticky and sweet cinnamon rolls except all of the ooey goodness was trapped on the inside with the sweet aroma of apple cinnamon. I'm a big fan of the cake donuts so I also loved the chocolate coconut and the crumb cake. Thank you dimples for hitting the spot! The lady taking orders was so sweet and I appreciate her great customer service. I'll be back for my bi-annual splurge! read more

OMG! Absolutely the best donuts ever! When I bring them to the office they're gone instantly. Taste is absolutely remarkable. I haven't had a donut from there that I didn't love. My favorites are the eclairs, old fashioned donuts and vanilla cream filled - heavenly! I agree with the other post - go early as they're gone by the afternoon. Also, CASH only but I think there's a cash station at the 7 Eleven nearby. Worth every penny. And the people behind the counter are always super friendly and helpful :) read more

I have been having these donuts since i was in middle school. The taste has not changed & are simply some if not the best donuts ive ever had! read more

I never knew about Dimples Donuts until I began to work in Batavia. At first, I LOVED Dimples, and would go very often. My boss had never been a fan because they upset his stomach every time. I went so often that I began to get sick of them, so i did not go for months. Today, I picked up half a dozen for my co-workers and myself. I was charged over $7; an extra dollar because I used my debit card and it was under $10. After this experience, I honestly don't think I would be going back.The donuts are very small, and besides the cake donuts they are not filling what so ever. I have deffinitely had better, bigger, more filling donuts for much cheaper that taste just as good, or better. read more

Looked up Dimples on Yelp! Reviews were so good, had to try it. Ordered 3 dozen donuts today and the family was excited and we all agreed best donuts we've had in over a decade. I highly recommend!! read more

What happened to this place? I've been a loyal customer for over 30 years having grown up 3 blocks away. I just don't think I can frequent this business after today though. The quality has been falling off, and today I was UPCHARGED for getting a dozen donuts. I was told because I bought the last of the long johns I would need to pay the individual donut price. I was willing to let some of the shortcoming go but enough is enough. The quality is hit or miss. Some days the donuts taste like old oil, or the icing is running off the top, or they just carelessly smash all the donuts together in the box. The store is dirty with boxes stacked everywhere making what few tables are there unavailable to customers. The staff, once so courteous, are rude and short. I'll still have the fond memories of riding my bike here with friends as a child, or going after church, but I will no longer give this place my $$. It's a shame read more

Loved the donuts so much that went back for more but to my disappointment they were out of donuts! I was there by 8:30 am so I was really surprised to find NOT one donut available to purchase! I was a little frustrated that I made the journey specifically to get some donuts for some out of town visitors that I had staying with us. Wouldn't you think that a business would plan better? Too bad but I am not sure I would go back if it meant I am taking a chance that they even have any donuts available. I guess you have to be there when they open at 5 am to be certain to get some. I would recommend the donuts, but don't make any special trip and expect that they will have any when you get there. :( read more

Walked in and the donuts were coming out of the back and going into the display. So nice and fresh! Perfect morning treat! read more

This place is awesome. Great old fashion doughnuts, excellent customer service and fairly priced. Please help support your local businesses this one is a great one. read more

Ok, it's a donut shop. But, the people who say it's "just" a donut shop really don't understand how special a place this is. They make their donuts from scratch. With quality ingredients. I like plain donuts, and their plain donuts are spectacular. When fresh they melt I your mouth. They make whipped cream filled donuts with real cream, and custard donuts filled with real custard. The red velvet donuts are moist and the buttermilk donuts are rich. If you like, they have breakfast sandwiches. Now, the donuts are really really good, but the star of the show is the always effervescent and friendly lady behind the front desk, Lena. She's always ready to give five-star service with her sparkling smile. Make sure you go earlier rather than later, because once the donuts are gone, they close for the day. Seems strange, but they never sell stale stuff. They have been here 29 years, and that's 14 years longer than I've been coming here. The family that runs the place is committed to making the best donuts in the fox valley. And it shows in the awards they have posted on the wall- best donuts in the fox valley five years running. So, my friends, calling this "just" a donut shop is like saying the Sears tower is ls "just" a building, or the Hawks are "just" a hockey team or the Batavia Bulldogs are "just" a high school football team. These things, and dimples too, are remarkable, even superlative examples of things done right. Do yourselves a favor, and go bust your diet over at dimples. read more

Their donuts are yummy and they have a nice variety to choose from. The environment is very bare bones and old school. But be warned, they don't take credit card, so make sure you have cash or your donuts need will go unfulfilled. read more

This amazing locally-owned donut shop is dangerously close to my house -- all the easier to satisfy our periodic cravings for the best donuts in the Fox Valley area. read more

The donuts were incredible! I especially liked their cake donuts, which were some of the best I have ever had in my life. I only wish that they continued to make donuts throughout the day, so that I could have had warm, fresh donuts when I got there at 9am. However, it's still well worth the trip for these delicious donuts! read more

Every single time I go in there they are out of donuts. It doesn't matter what time. I was in there this morning at 8 AM and they had absolutely nothing I came home with four donuts. How do you stay open until 1 PM when your shelves are empty. This is so frustrating. I will probably never go in again because I can never get what I want. If you want to stay in business and keep your customers your shelves should be stocked. Every time I'm in there I asked them why they don't make enough donuts and they never have an answer. read more

Best Donuts I have had in a long time. Everything is super fresh and won't break the bank. The apple fritters and old fashioned are must haves when you go. read more

I've been going to Dimples all my life. It is exactly what you want out of a donut shop; great donuts and coffee, and the friendliest staff! If you go in the afternoon, they often give you free donut holes! read more

I love Dimples Donuts! Their donuts are baked fresh everyday and the quality is consistent. Make sure to go to Dimples early because by the time 10am comes around, all the good donuts have been picked out. Definitely try the Long John Bacon Maple donut. You will get even more addicted to their donuts! read more

Best donuts around. We lived in Batavia when they first open. We travel a half hour each way just to get their donuts now since we moved.

Great donuts, much better fresh in the morning than late in the afternoon obviously. The donut quality is much better than your average donut shop read more

Best donuts ever!!!!!! Love the vanilla/chocolate cake sprinkled donuts. Thank you to my boss who brings them to work on special occasions now I suggest Dimples to everyone. read more

Hard to find something other than dunkin donuts in the suburbs so in comparison they are prob a little better with more variety.... but be sure to have cash otherwise there is a minimum and charge extra to use a card... not ideal. read more

We've lived in Batavia for over 30 years so we've been customers since their beginning. They were the best, hands down. Everything about them was great. The chocolate icing was always SO good. A delicious chocolate flavor that couldn't be beat. The consistency was perfect! All of their icings were lickable good. They made a quality donut with quality icings! The past few years, however, maybe after opening other locations, they were lacking. Once I actually had raw centers & other times they tasted oily. I brushed it off to new employees not fully trained maybe? Regardless, I wasn't giving up so I let the raw center slide and went back again. That is how much I loved these donuts! They were hit or miss and I would chance it, because they were the best donuts I've ever had. Today, however, has changed that. My husband brought home 1/2 a dozen. Although the maple icing was perfect, the chocolate icing looked different. It was darker and thinner than usual and the it tasted very "off". It was bitter and nothing about it made me want to devour it. If I were to guess where he got them, I would never guess Dimples. The donut texture was good, but I only tasted old oil. It made me very sad. This felt like a huge change, like severe cutting back on quality. I actually went online to see if they sold the business. I plan to occasionally check Yelp for any positive reviews about a Dimples "comeback", but as of right now, they're gone to me. This makes me sad. Very sad. read more
