Unfortunately, my last few visits to the Elgin Country Donuts have been pretty disappointing,…read moreespecially compared with the consistently great experiences I've had at their Crystal Lake location. Freshness has been the biggest issue. On my most recent visit, my beloved apple fritter was so stale it was virtually inedible, and it's not the first time the donuts here have tasted like they'd been sitting around far too long. Fresh donuts should be the bare minimum at a donut shop. Service has been equally ho-hum; slow, indifferent, and not particularly welcoming. The atmosphere follows suit, with messy tables, sticky floors, and a dining area that has felt neglected on multiple visits. It's just not an inviting place to sit down with a coffee and donut. What makes it frustrating is knowing how good Country Donuts can be. The Crystal Lake location consistently delivers fresh donuts, good coffee, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Elgin lately has felt like the polar opposite. I'd love to see this location turn things around, but after several disappointing visits, I can't chalk it up to an off day anymore.

This was my first time visiting Elder + Oat after a friend recommended it to me and I will…read moredefinitely be going back soon! I got one of their winter menu items, which was the Snow Day Cold Coffee. The maple cinnamon cold foam was delicious. For food, I got the ricotta chili crisp toast and the flavors of honey, chili and creamy ricotta paired with the crunchy toast was perfect. I also tried their vegan chocolate glazed old-fashioned donut. Great spot for meeting with friends or doing work. They have a huge collection of board games to play as well!

Came here on a rainy day. I've been to many areas of West Dundee, but not here. It's nice because…read morethere's a rear parking lot and rear entrance. It's a decent size coffee shop with a couch and many tables. I ordered their house coffee and a butter pecan scone thing. The coffee was okay. I like the scone flavor but it was pretty dry. If it warmer, moist, and maybe some sugar sprinkled on top, it would have been perfect.

This is a fun place to visit for some decadent treats and gifts. I have tasted their chocolates…read morebefore but never had their sweet and rich donuts. The donuts were very moist and fresh and everyone I shared them with were raving about the flavors they tried. The caramel pecan donut is my favorite. I also wanted some unique chocolates to bring for an upcoming girls weekend and picked up some cute items in their Celebrations section near the back wall. I visited around 11:30 am on a Sunday so there were a lot of cars parked near the Brunch Cafe' and in the parking lot, but I found street parking in a free, 2 hour maximum spot down the street. It was fun to also see seasonal items decorated with St. Patrick's Day and Easter themes already in the store. There are some tables and chairs inside too, to enjoy a coffee and conversation.

This place is so cute and aesthetic I've been wanting to try it for a while now and I finally had…read morethat chance! When I came in I was the only one in the restaurant so of course the service was pretty fast. I ordered the hot Cheeto K-dog with solely mozzarella as my filling. I thought it was pretty darn good! The cheese was super gooey and I thought the hot Cheetos just pulled everything together. I also ordered the strawberry matcha. It was pretty good, I did get a good taste of the strawberry. However, I think next time I'll order a smoothie- I think that would be more up my alley. I also bought 4 donuts to take home. I got the tiramisu, the ube, the biscoff cheesecake - which actually does taste like a cheese cake, and of course I got their most popular donut the strawberry milk cream. I was able to take a nibble out of each donut and I must say the donuts were delicious- the cream cheese filling is fantastic. My favorite flavors were the Biscoff and the strawberry. The shop is so cute and niche, there's a good amount of seating- I can definitely see myself coming here from time to time. The donuts definitely live up to their reputation!

Ube donut and ube milk tea with tapioca made with housemade syrup) are both amazing, yuza…read morecheesecake was alright, and I wasn't a big fan of the dulce de leche filling. The dough of the donut isn't the softest I've had, but the ube filling makes up for it. The texture of the tapioca is on point it made me want to order double serving next time. The price is also very reasonable. I came around noon on Christmas Eve, and it was busy. There seems to be several pick-up donut orders. There is only one person taking order, boxing donuts and making drinks in the front, and another making hotdogs in the back. We waited for at least 15 minutes to order, and another 5-10 minutes to get my drink.

Growing up in Chicago, I had no shortage of great donut shops, so I'm pretty picky. Country Donuts…read morein Crystal Lake absolutely delivers. The donuts are exceptional...always fresh, soft, and some of the best you'll find anywhere. It's one of those places that keeps our family coming back. What makes it even more special is Mike. Every time we walk in, he treats our family like we're regulars. He's genuinely kind, welcoming, and always takes the time to make our kids smile. In fact, every time we leave, my kids say, "He's just so nice." Great donuts will bring you in. Great people keep you coming back. Thank you, Mike, for making Country Donuts a place our family loves.

Donuts weren't that great at all... dry but with runny icing... I would suggest not leaving them exposed to the air in baskets behind the register... I was there at 10 in the morning so it's not like it was really late like when you buy donuts at 3 o'clock .... Looks like they make donuts 24 hours a day so I'll need to try and get something fresher next time?

No sleepy bullshit where a single worker is still setting up and pulling covers off trays, etc. Multiple staff including the owner are on site and ready to deal. They must start hella early. Finally, if you want a real breakfast before eating doughnuts for dessert, they make a very very solid sausage, egg, and bagel sandwich.

The best part about spunky dunkers is that' it's open 24 hrs and I must say the midnight donuts …read more. I'd say a 3.5 to 4. They were delicious but we knew we weren't getting the best of the batch and also noticed people in the back making tons of donuts. So we decided to return for a 7 am donut run....... PERFECTION! The donuts were sooooo fresh and sweet and there were soooooo many flavors - the huge apple fritter was moist and our new favorite was the payday with vanilla, caramel icing and peanuts. But I think what really stood out was how long the donuts taste good after you buy them and Spunky Dunkers didn't disappoint. Get them home and in a ziploc bag or Tupperware and they tasted just as good 2 days later This place isn't a secret either and I see why. There were at least 10 people crowded around the cashier counter first thing in the morning for a fresh batch.

I would love to give 5 stars for just the donuts themselves but not for the service…read more I was introduced to the donuts by a coworker who brought them in to work and I fell in love with them so I decided to go out of my way and drive here to get some for my family. As soon as I came in through the door and said HELLO , the woman in front didn't reply or even look my way at all and the whole time I'm picking out donuts, she acted so impatient and unfriendly. Her actions made me feel anxious and angry and I just wanted to be done with the order and leave asap. No matter how good the donuts are, I would never be back after that kind of interaction. It's too bad that they sell such sweet wonderful donuts but have such a sour person as your first person to take care of you.

I used to live in VP - now out of state -- but when I come into town, I often stop to get bakery to take while visiting my family. The selection, quality, and prices can not be beat. I buy strudels, coffee cakes, donuts, pecan rolls - which are my favorites, cookies and sweet rolls and made to order Italian cannoli - which they fill before you pick them up. I so very much miss my home bakery, and I am longing for a pecan roll. Hopefully, I will get some in May when I visit.
