We went to the Taste of Chicago at Grant park on 07/10/2022 and of course the lines everywhere else was scary except for this establishment. The guy was very nice especially with my dietary restrictions. Their desserts was very delicious. In fact our entire stay at the Taste, this was the best thing we tried. Unfortunately I can't find their physical location but it seems l can order online. I recommend. read more

I stumbled across Puffs of Doom at the Logan Square farmer's market this weekend. To be honest, the little cream puffs caught my eye, and then the interesting business name drew me in. My mom and I chatted with the guys working a bit and I decided I had to try one. I had the strawberry Nutella puff (so adorable!) and it was delicious - a delectable bit of goodness and happiness! So, folks, if you see this stand at the farmer's market or if they are in the neighborhood, definitely try them out. The BLT one looked amazing, but I had just consumed the biggest brunch ever, so I will save that one for next time. read more

Salted caramel puff 3.5 Value 2.5 The salted caramel puff was creamy and delicious on inside but served a little cold. The chocolate topping could have been richer and not so artificially flavored. Plus for $5, I expected something slightly larger than half tennis ball. The savory puffs for $10 I didn't get a look at, but I hope they're bigger. read more

I love caramel and my daughter heard great things about your caramel sauce so she bought me some for Christmas. Went to have some with ice cream today and I was so bummed! The jar opened with no trouble at all, and the contents are about two inches below where it should be with a white blob of something on the top. This was definitely pre-opened and then sold -- not great quality control. I wish I could add a photo..... read more

i went over to their truck at the food truck social. I tried the salted caramel and hot chocolate puff and it was truly incredible. I think the puff should have been warmed a little, but it was rather cold sadly, the chocolate would have been way better had the puff been warm. I have my eye on the savory puffs as well, ill look out for them and grab them when I see them next read more

I found Puffs of Doom at last year's RiotFest. It was the only booth that didn't have a line. I mean, there was NO ONE there, not a single soul. But I have no idea why! Their "puffs" were delicious and very fairly priced, especially for a festival. They have savory and sweet choices. I've tried one from each category, and loved both. I was really sad when I didn't see them back at RiotFest this year, but we did bump into them at a farmer's market in Wicker Park. Once again, they did not disappoint! Highly recommended! read more

Full disclosure, I didn't actually get to try one! I meant to circle back to their stall, but my kids had a long day and we needed to get them home. My husband was smarter than I (don't tell him I said that!) and he didn't choose to wait until later to pick a puff- he ordered the chicken jalapeno popper puff and LOVED it. I really regret that I didn't go for it when I had the chance, so I'll be creepin' online to find my next chance! The guy manning the stall was very nice, personable, and knowledgeable. I learned about puffs when I stopped at the stall, drawn in by the name and cutesy logo, and I really love it when people are clearly passionate about the food they create. read more

Hats off to Rebecca for AH-mazing customer service!! I had a bad experience, and she did EVERYTHING in her power to fix it. Refund + Free retry of the Salted Caramel puff + Free other sweet puff flavors...Whoa is right! 5 stars for the service, logo, and concept. Ok, the salted carm was sooooo much better. Also tried a peppermint fudge, D-licious! Cream on both of these so fantastic. Puff was not dry it overdone. Great flavor combos here. Peanut butter pretzel was ok. Weird cream center. Might be awesome for some people. Still have a few left to try. 4 stars on overall puffs and flavors. Puffs of Doom will see my dollars in the future. From the above and beyond service I received, I'll be happy to pay for something that goes to brand with so much passion behind it. read more

I must put a disclaimer out there that I have known the creator of Puffs of Doom for a while now and I was lucky enough to be a taste tester for her creations before Puffs was even a reality. But there are a few things about the puffs that stand out to me that I think others should know. I expected these puffs to be really rich and sweet gooey processed goodness that I am used to. They aren't. They are....real. Everything about them tastes real, and clean. I hate using buzz words like "clean" but honestly it's accurate. Her flavor combinations are well thought out and when you taste basil, you are eating basil and not a flavoring. Strawberries, blueberries, goat cheese, etc are all as real as you can get and taste as such. It doesn't take a lot of product for it to taste good. I know that now. I had a peanut butter and jelly one and I felt like I was in 3rd grade again, but at the same time, an adult, because it wasn't cloying and gross. It was refined. They are affordable and work hard to make deliveries and access seamless. I ordered quite a few for a work birthday celebration and they went over well in the professional atmosphere. I plan on ordering them again for the holidays. Absolutely fantastic. I highly suggest them for something different and genuine. read more

Another item that had my interest…read moreon the menu was the Impossible Karl's Deluxe which is a patty melt served Karl's Style that appears just as tasteful as the Beast Style. MrBeast Burger is currently located inside of the Hatchery along with a few other vendors. I love these shared kitchens because they bring a diverse selection of foods to choose from, as well as opportunities for entrepreneurs to get their name out. The shared kitchens are also open at times of the day when other restaurants are closed. This was a different experience in comparison to other shared kitchens I have ordered at. The others have an open building where you can pick-up at a counter or even order onsite, but the Hatchery does not. I parked my vehicle along Lake Street outside of the door where food is picked up. What was odd was that there were no lights, no call button, or no note on the door which made me wonder if it was closed or if this vendor even existed. I nearly considered canceling my order until I saw other customers who had ordered start to pull in. An employee ended up coming out, asking names and what restaurant ordered from. He did not appear to be the friendliest person at the time, but he did return in a reasonable timeframe with everyone's order. It probably would be beneficial if there was some sort of a message informing customers to stay in their vehicles or stand by the doorway patiently as orders are being made. As for my order, the Impossible Beast Style was satisfying in size, but they sure skimped on the mayo, ketchup, and brown mustard. It was to the point where I utilized my own barbecue sauce to give it taste, but even that did not help cover up its over seasoned taste, seemingly doused in one area of the sandwich. While taking my final bites, I made the yucky face in disgust as I chewed. Yuck! Sadly, I have to say that it was by far the worst Impossible sandwich I have ever had, and I have had several. Obviously as indicated in this review I did not have the greatest experience with MrBeast Burger. I would have been open to ordering with again, but this experience makes me ambivalent about ordering with in the future. ~Blessings~ Thomas G
