    Descent donut shop with classic donut selections. I hit the shop around noon and there was a good selection of donuts still left. The donuts held up pretty good over time. The raised yeast donut was slightly better than the cake donuts and none were too sweet. These donuts will do in a pinch.

    So I would say that this restaurant is a hidden gem, but since having learned that has earned the exclusive title of "Best Donut Shop in Kane County" there is nothing "hidden" ( nor should there be) about this terrific place. Tucked away, at the corner of an unassuming strip mall, behind a Mc Donalds is Fresh Donuts. Once inside, I was warmly greeted by a lady wearing a huge smile. Her hospitality makes the ambiance even better. I was impressed by the large selection and variety of donuts. Patrons can also order hot breakfast sandwiches made to order. Let me tell you, I absolutely understand why Fresh Donuts has earned their title. They offer some of the best donuts I've EVER had and I have had a few. The chocolate donut tastes so chocolaty and heavenly. I thought, where have you been all my life? My husband I decided to also try the hot breakfast sandwiches. You know what, they were excellent too. So fresh and yummy. Do try the biscuit sandwich. It will not disappoint. In sum: do visit Fresh Donuts in Geneva for the best in variety and freshest pastries around. Do go hungry, because you will come out full and happy.

    We saw this donut shop when driving through the area. I chose the croissant, bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, even though someone recommended the bagel one too. I went with the croissant because they looked so good. They were! Making the sandwich seemed to deflate the croissant but not affect the flavor. The bacon was cooked a little more than I prefer but the flavor was good. I added ketchup and a bit of hot sauce too. I appreciate the egg was a fresh fried one. If in the area around breakfast, I'd go again.

    I can't believe it took me this long to find this place! Absolutely loved the strawberry donuts and Boston kreme. The guy even added an extra one! Love this little place

    Nah I had such a taste for a donut and I end up driving from Wheaton to Geneva for this donuts agh I think Dunkins are better but I usually not the donut type and I am glad am not a police lol. The process are not bad but I was expecting a phenomenal wow factor but nope. I got a maple donut did not taste like maple at all. The rest of the donuts were way too sweet and why did I buy a dozen I should had tried one and had safe my money

    AMAZING!!!! So many flavors to choose from, I got a dozen and a half for my office and it was a hard choice! Great price too and every doughnut was fantastic. Even the regular glaze wayyy better then Dunkin or Krispy Kreme!! Will keep coming back!

    We've driven all the way from Chicago for a dozen or two of these delicious donuts! They are always fresh, light, and creative - from banana to red velvet, to the apple fritter and eclair with bacon, you can't go wrong. They were voted best in Kane County, but I'd put it up there with best in Illinois! Plus, the prices can't be beat and the owner(s) couldn't be sweeter! Support this local business if you're looking to make your stomach - and wallet - happy!

    It's so good every time. We don't need to go anywhere else. I'm not sure how or why we even have Dunkin all over the place distracting people from the REAL thing that is FRESH DONUTS.

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!

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.

Their preorder system is incredibly smooth, though it does require a bit of planning since you need to order at least a day in advance, and they are closed on Mondays. I scheduled an order on a Friday for a Tuesday morning pickup. I picked up a dozen GF donuts and a half-dozen chocolate chip cookies, and both were fantastic. They offer a ton of different donut flavors, though the ordering system limits you to choosing three varieties per dozen. I went with the banana bread, chocolate with chocolate icing and the brown sugar with chocolate icing, and they did not disappoint. The cookies were just as impressive, hitting that perfect texture without any of the dryness you sometimes find in gluten-free baking. The shop itself is super cute and perfectly set up for a quick visit. All the preordered to-go items are neatly laid out on a cabinet for a seamless pickup. If you have some extra time, they also have drinks and food you can order at the counter, a shared parking lot that makes stopping by a breeze, and a nice outdoor seating area. I will definitely be back to mix and match some new flavors next time.
