Ok, this is just a review of the vegan (and GF) double chococlate coconut doughnut. Didn't try anything else, not even the tea or coffee. Also haven't been to any other locations. Anyhow, donut was good. It's real decadent with a layer of chocolate pored on top and some mousse on top of that. I wouldn't really call it a donut, it was more of a cake. And there was no fire. But it was great cake. If you're a donut stickler, it might mot hit your spot. They will have this vegan doughnut every day, they told me, so it is a reliable treat. Place was very clean, but tiny. One big table and some window seats. Service was very friendly. read more

So excited to go inside. Once inside red hair employee immediately made you feel like you were an inconvenience. Asked for a mocha and it wad served cold. How do you serve a hot mocha cold?? And don't show cash in your hand because you'll be scolded and told card only. Doughnut was delicious but won't go back to Naperville Firecakes. read more

Cinnamon churro donut, anything with peanut butter and chocolate, and the simple jelly donut have been quite delicious. Just don't go in expecting to get a dozen and pay what you would at Dunkin' Donuts. Join the rewards program and get savings on future trips (especially if you get that dozen). read more

I had the Belgian chocolate Icecream with the triple chocolate donut and the bourbon caramel sauce. It was divine. The iced latte and fresh orange juice were really good too! read more

Firecakes Donuts - Belgian chocolate ice cream , triple chocolate donut with caramel sauce - Donuts Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Love this spot! Donuts are awesome and great for the Oak Park neighborhood! My favorite donut is the bacon donut. It has a maple bacon filling that's insane. Also all their seasonal fritters I've had a fantastic! My personal favorite so far was their Rubar, can't wait for that one again! Every time I'm there it's always spotless and chill to be there. ALSO NOTE: they start off the day WITH THE MOST POPULAR DONUTS! So if you want to get like a birthday donut, for example 6 in the morning, don't expect it to be ready yet cause it's one of their least sold donuts. Just a tip for all of y'all. Also one of the workers Haley is amazing and a wonderful help! She's the woman with the short hair, always great when she's working! read more

Thank you! This location is absolutely perfect! The staff made it feel like a family owned business. When people work well together the atmosphere feels much more welcoming. I had the classic chicken sandwich and the chocolate ice cream sandwich. They were delicious!!! I have to come back and try the other doughnuts and sandwiches. Thank you again for answering all my questions and for spectacular service! read more

This place is amazing!! I'm a chef and I can really appreciate when a place pours this much effort and more so love, and to top it off some amazing creativity!! The structure of the donuts is perfect, light and airy but still a filling donut. their custard are some of the best ice ever had, especially the butterscotch praline, wow what a perfect creation!! The staff was super helpful and friendly, what an awesome addition to oak park. We will definitely be back to try more of their tasty creations read more

I was looking forward to my donut and coffee before coming to work this morning. I came in, ordered a cappuccino and a honey glazed donut, (since they didn't have much on display at 630am ) can't complain for a good glazed. And then my morning took a bad turn. I can look past my cappuccino being a latte (way too much milk) ,being warm and not hot ( sucks but Im not a complainer) but a hair on my donut? Sorry but this is not ok! I have extra curly hair so I know it was not a possible "oh I shed into the bag" situation. Not cool guys, not cool! read more

Firecakes Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

This location likes to close earlier than the signs posted... not worth the trip or inconsistencies.

Meh, they're ok. Not worth the price, but they're open late. Better off going to oak park bakery. Those folks are cheaper, better, more legit, less pretentious, more locally established, more firmly invested in the community... But yeah, if you are nearby and want an overpriced donut, they're decent and available. read more

Came in here last minute to buy some doughnuts for an early morning presentation I'm giving tomorrow at 6:30am. I didn't call ahead for my 16 doughnuts (normally I would...), but dropped in because I was in the area and in a hurry. My order was welcomed and I was tempted by every doughnut in the display case. The nice man behind the counter (didn't catch his name!) appeared to be the owner and genuinely appreciated my business and offered me a complimentary coffee or doughnut since it was my first time in. He gave me instructions on how to store the doughnuts overnight and exemplified supreme customer service. I just took a bite of my pistachio old fashioned....after just having a Stan's pistachio on Monday, I might hazard to say this one was better! Yum yum yum! read more

I am only giving the 3 stars because I love the donuts BUT i would NEVER recommend this place to do a donut cake for a wedding. The service is not up to par. Beth is not on top of things, they don't tell you all the details that you need to know up front. You are placed in a situation to where you have no choice but to you them because it is such last minute you cant go anywhere else. I really HATE the service FIRECAKES. PLEASE DO BETTER read more

The doughnuts are high quality flavor. I have to have both the chocolate & vanilla doughnuts when I come here. The cafe itself is super super tiny--Might want to get these tasty treats to go. Easy parking in front btw :) enjoy! read more

Customer service was ok! It was like pulling teeth at a dentist office to get her to smile, she had that face like hurry up so I could go back to my phone. Anyway donuts were ok..... read more

How does this place not have 5 stars? The donuts are fabulous!! The first time I went I bought 2 donuts and literally ate mine in the car then ate the donut I bought for my husband. I wasn't even sorry. It was so so good and I am a donut snob. Fine they are expensive but they are definitely worth it. read more

Firecakes Donuts - Orange poppyseed donut!!! To die for! - Donuts Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Forgettable donuts. Had high hopes as we were visiting the area and this place popped up as recommended. The honey glazed was so mediocre it was a huge disappointment. The other 3/4 we got were all the same, took a bite and tossed the rest. I wouldn't say bad but I wouldn't go back. read more

Highly highly recommend. Their orange poppyseed old fashioned donut was probably the best donut I've ever had! They have really unique flavors - I definitely recommend! read more

Stopped in while I was in the area to try their donuts. I had the Double Choc-Coconut GF Vegan one. It was better than I expected, not dry as one would think when eating a v-donut. (On a quest to find delicious donuts). I'd return, but hope they add more options to their menu of vegan donuts .. one flavor is just not enough. The person behind the counter was quite friendly, very "welcoming" feel when you walk in. read more

I ordered the gf vegan chocolate coconut donut. It was delicious, not overly sweet. My issue is that it is more of a bundt cake - not a donut. Nothing about it was like a donut. I went there specifically bc I was craving donuts. I'm glad there is an option for peeps like me but it was a little cake. read more

My fiance and I stopped by here tonight to grab a gingerbread donut and a Belgian hot chocolate with marshmallows. The drink and donut were fantastic and still fresh but what I believe what sets this coffee shop apart from others is their employee Rob. After serving us our food, Rob introduced himself to my fiance and I and we talked about music, their fresh donuts, and their coffee. It was a great conversation and Rob's fantastic customer service will definitely bring us back for more donuts and drinks! read more

First off Cheat day bliss is located here!! Sooooo damn good omgggggg! There wonderful donuts are perfectly sweet and made to perfection It's my go to on my elected cheat day, and boy do I cheat here!!!! I think I've tried every flavor and look forward to trying any new ones they put out! Skip Dunkin and go straight here!! read more

I couldn't believe it when I heard a Firecakes was opening just a few blocks away from me. I knew it would be packed on the weekend so I went late on a monday night. There was no wait at all. The donuts were good but they weren't the best I've ever had. But they were certainly the most expensive donuts I've ever had. Even though the donuts were great, I'll probably only stop here on very special occasions. In fact, maybe Firecakes should be considered a "dessert place." By that I mean it's a place you can stop after dinner for a coffee and a fancy donut rather than it being a donut shop where you can pick up a dozen donuts for the office on your way to work. One quick tip: Don't tip. When I checked out, the woman behind the counter flipped over a tablet so that I could complete my purchase. You're going to be presented with options for tipping (10%, 15% etc). This kind of bothered me. But showing me a screen and making me hit "no tip" is kind of uncool. read more

Firecakes just made my day! I'm so happy I don't have to drive downtown to get my donut fix anymore! I love the difference type of donuts they offer from triple chocolate to stuffed expresso or PBJ but hand's down my favorite is always going to be the pistachio old fashion hmmm pistachio is life! read more

Very friendly employees. Favorite is their Lemonade and home made chips. Always busy but they always make sure to take care of you as quickly as possible. Lots of choice on donuts also!!!!. Chicken sandwich ask looks tasty. read more

Firecakes Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

I think my eyes were more satisfied than my tastebuds. I love standard glazed donuts, so I grabbed one of their honey-glazed donuts and a creme brulee mini along with a palmer 50/50. While I enjoyed the mini and the palmer, what I thought would be the star of the show was a bit of a letdown. The glazed donut was so large that the ratio of dough to glaze was off, leaving me with a wad of dough to chew on without the proper amount of sweet stickiness to balance everything. Should I return in the future, I would probably try something among their cake donut selections where the ratio seemed a bit more even. read more

I wanted to get doughnuts for breakfast on Father's Day so I get that things were busy. This was my first time coming here and heard great things. When I finally got to the front of the line the selection (this was at 8:45) was very limited. I asked for sprinkles. Was told rudely those are already claimed for pre-select so I could only get the ones at the front display. Without telling me how am I suppose to know that? If you have to repeat yourself after a customer asks for those then maybe you need to establish the rules for your customers when they walk through the door. So I got chocolate ones and asked for the sprinkle ones (they were vanilla with large sprinkle balls) to which I got another rude those are spoken for. Realizing she had misspoke she tried to act nice but by that time I was done. I had waited in line for 20/30 mins, paid 24 for seven doughnuts and to be spoken to so rudely I will pass and try other small business in the community. It is also horrible customer service when I looked outside to see a long line of potentially disappointed customers with limited selection and even limited number of doughnuts. Doughnuts were good and flavorful. Stars were decreased for the lack of selection, rude service, and price. But mostly rude service. read more

What great people work at Firecakes! Last night, I ordered $35 worth of doughnuts from Firecakes. The driver called me and said he was outside my door. I looked, and there was no one there. I waited 5 minutes, then called the driver again. He said he was there but there was no one. I told him we were in the "C" unit of our complex and he replied that he had only gotten as far as "B". He then showed up and gave us a small bag that turned out to be the wrong order. I called the driver and told him we received the wrong order, he said that it was what Firecakes gave him and there wasn't anything he could do about it because he was a Grubhub driver. Uh-oh.... I have been almost completely living off of Grubhub for the past year. The unfortunate distinction between Grubhub drivers versus a restaurant that has its own dedicated driver lies in what happens when there is an error.  Any time there was the wrong food sent and it was a Grubhub driver, instead of the driver coming back with the correct food, you must reorder the food, wait what is usually another hour, and you just get a refund on the original order. That is the best case scenario. Other times, we never get the food and are starving by the time we realize they are never coming (then get a refund), other times I've called the restaurant (like Red Mango) only to hear that the Grubhub driver never showed up. In the case of Red Mango, the time of delivery keeps getting updated to an hour later on the tracking site, until finally, at 1am (I originally ordered at 7pm) I get a text from Grubhub saying that my order has been canceled.  In all those scenarios, the restaurant never steps in to correct the problem themselves and we never get our food. It's understandable that they can't correct it if they don't have their own drivers and must wait for an order to come through Grubhub in order to ping another driver for their product.  However, this is what makes Firecakes so above and beyond. Not only did they replace our food, free of charge, but one of the people that worked there just got in her car and drove the food to us. And, we did not wait hours and hours to figure this all out. They had it handled within an hour after learning of the mistake. We tried to offer the employee the full amount of money when she came to our door, but she said everyone will be refunded. She also apologized every time we were on the phone with them when we were trying to figure out the delivery error, which also seldom happens anymore when I call a restaurant about an error.  The doughnuts itself were as delicious as they are always are. Fresh, unique and delicious ingredients. We had two orange poppy old fashioned's, 2 butterscotch praline creams, 2 seasonal fritters, 2 wildflower honey glazed, a gigantic varlhona chocolate iced doughnut, pistachio old fashioned. So wonderful.  So thank you to Firecakes doughnuts for giving us a unique experience that reflects what the delivery/error process used to be like with restaurants with great customer service and a dedicated delivery person. Exemplary food and customer service! read more

As soon as we heard a new donut place was in town, we headed over to try it. Parking across the street in the lot was easy peasy on a Thursday morning. I'm going to assume the weekends might be tougher. Once inside, we were greeted by a friendly counter clerk who whipped up two lattes as we decided what donuts to try. The variety of flavors was pretty yummy sounding, so we ended up going overboard and buying a whole box full. As we made our selections, several other people came in and it became apparent that the space was a tight fit for customers at the counter. Since we were taking ours to go, it didn't matter much. Armed with coffee and about $35 of donuts (what?!?) we headed home and dove into tasting. Pistachio old fashioned, gf vegan double chocolate and coconut, sprinkled, apple fritter, coconut cream, classic jelly filled, peanut butter and jelly, candied bacon long John, Meyer lemon, and Tahitian vanilla iced were cut in half and sampled over the next two days. The consensus was most were good but overpriced. The flavors didn't jump out at you and scream, "Hey, I'm a $3 gourmet donut. EAT ME!" The coffee was a bit on the watery side. Even with donuts to dunk, it wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked. All of that being said, I would go back for a donut or two (yeah, not 10). Particularly tasty were the pb&j, coconut cream, and Meyer lemon. read more

I didn't have high expectations from an upscale donut shop, especially since having had glazed&infused, and other designer donut shop. I ordered the nutella long john with a hot chocolate with an in-house made marshmallow, while my boyfriend got a pb&j filled glazed donut and a matcha latte. This place was better than any designer donut shop I've ever been to. The long john was terrifically amazing while the hot cocoa with that delicious marshmallow was to die for! I definitely suggest this place to everyone in the area!! read more

Their donuts are some of the best I've ever had! However, they are pretty expensive. Also, the coffee was just ok.

Pricey but that's what you pay for excellent baked goods... Absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the pistachio and the vanilla one

I went to this place right after they opened. Being a vegan and not having had a donut in almost 10 years, I called and asked if they had vegan donuts and they said that they did. I was sooooooooo excited to finally have a donut after so many years. Sadly, it was a huge disappointment. All they had was a chocolate concoction that I won't even call a donut. Worst tasting donut ever! I took a few bites and threw it out. It was so heavy tasting and too damn chocolately to the point of being bitter. It was also very dry. I know making things vegan is a challenge, but this was just plain awful. And to make matters even worse, the price. After taxes, it cost me $4.25. Total waste of money. I just heard that Dunkin Donuts will now be offering vegan options, so I guess I will be going there for my donut fix. At least I know the donuts will be good. read more

AMAZING DONUTS. Small little shack with donuts and coffee. Lots of flavors to chose from and reasonable prices! It can get busy because usually only one person is working there. There are ice cream sandwich donuts as well! Coffee is average. read more

Just picked up the Doughnut Gram 5 mini long johns as a valentine for my husband. Fantastic! The doughnuts were so good, and they had the box prepared at exactly the time I requested - not a second of waiting. Note to Firecakes - the White Chocolate needs to be in your regular rotation. Maybe the best doughnut I have ever had in my life. read more

This place is amazing! Great gluten-free options for those with dietary needs. The best building hot chocolate in it! Really good classic donuts as well the best customer service!!! Highly recommend as a New Years resolution breaker!!! read more

Every single donut I've had here has been delicious. The location is clean, really well decorated, with a nice little seating area outside. I can't wait to try the custom ice cream donut sandwiches! read more

Absolutely amazing donuts. Very similar to Do-Rites, And miles above Stan's donuts. Absolutely worth the premium price in every way!

I was honestly disappointed in the quality of both the coffee and the doughnut I had. I took my coffee black but tasted like there was sugar in it. The doughnut was dry and bland. Especially at the slightly above average prices I expected a more impressive product. read more

I've been generally pretty weary of this boujee, gourmet donut trend, but I gotta say that Firecakes blew my pants off. I went a couple days after they first opened, and I don't think I've ever had a better donut. I don't think I've even had a better pastry. They're a bit on the pricey side, but I say it's 100% worth it. read more
