    We stumbled upon Somethin' Sweet Donuts by suprise. We had time to kill before an appointment and I was searching for something with ube. We came for the ube biscoff but also tried some of their other donut varieties as well as their coffee and teas. The staff is helpful with recommendations as we were slightly overwhelmed being our first time here. We were happy with our choices. The line may look long, but it moves fast! Definitely a place to add to our rotation while up north.

    What are the odds that I would be craving a donut on National Donut Day!?! Very likely, actually! I didn't realize there was a holiday going on until I got there and was wondering what all the excitement was about! There was a long line (out the door long) because they were offering buy one get one on their classic style donuts. Tell me how I walked out with 1/2 a dozen. What made my day even more was because the deal was for just one donut but I was getting the 1/2 dozen and had selected 2 specialty donuts, he gave me one of those for free instead, as they aren't included in the 1/2 dozen classic box. I also tried a smoothie for the first time and it was delicious, creamy, and smooth. Their Churro donut is literally a mix of churro and donut and I wanna know how they did that!? I also tried a limited flavor that was kind of lemon cake. I could've used a little more lemon flavor personally but otherwise seriously obsessed with this place!

    The best donuts in Chicago! I would 100% recommend supporting this small business over any of the big box donut shops--I guarantee these are better! The staff is always kind and I love the decor and ambiance. My favorite is a blueberry glazed but you can't go wrong.

    Service is beyond amazing here. Love their donuts - options are endless. Ambiance is good. Street parking. Can't say enough good things about this donut shop. Family owned as well so it's good to support local! They do custom donuts which is great for any celebrations

    After my eye check-ip across the street, I stopped by to get coffee. I was pleasantly surprised to see ube donut . I of coutse had to get it as well as raspberry bismark, chocolate frosted bavarian cream and leek and parmesan pastry. They were all delicious, dough was soft and pillowy, the filling is not overly sweet. BTW, they have matcha-filled donuts as well for the matchaddicts. Even the leek parmesan pastry is on point. The coffee, big shoulders, I later learned is also a Chicago-local brand. It's deep and robust, just the way I like it with my sweets. I'm blessed to have this bakery in the neighborhood and glad to see them thrive.

    Cambodian/Khmer family-owned donut shop in the Albany Park area. I don't normally eat donuts because of how unhealthy they are, but once in a while always hits the spot. The ones we ordered from here were pretty bomb! I forgot how expensive donuts have gotten (miss the 50 cent donut days), but this place is totally worth it based kn flavor and freshness!

    I'm usually pretty picky about donuts. If they taste remotely stale/processed/dry or just plain overly sugary, I'd trash it. However, the donuts here were so good, so light and fluffy. Not too sweet, either, which comes from a tasteful amount of icing. There were so many options, too, which I wish I could have tried them all (next time!). I also got an iced matcha that was delicious. And to top everything off, the decor of the place was really fun and bright.

    MY BIG BACK IS SCREAMING OF JOY LIKE A KID ON CHRISTMAS DAY! This is the best donuts I've had in years sorry Stan's donuts, unique flavors I bought a few to sample. I got the cherry cake donut, Ube bismark and the claw so funny looking yet so soft and yummy. The Thai iced coffee was so delicious not bitter, not stale a perfect melody. I'm kinda scared to write this review and everyone eats my favorite donuts. I hope I can find them when I come back. The staff or owner not sure was so friendly too

The shop is sparsely decorated but seems to be a real staple in the community, which felt special to visit as an outsider. My friend and I both ordered egg and goat cheese bagel sandwiches. I ordered an iced lavender matcha and my friend ordered a cappuccino. The sandwiches were made with boiled eggs, which felt extremely odd. The egg type was not clarified on the menu, but I feel like for a breakfast sandwich to include a boiled egg instead of a traditional fried or scrambled egg, that should be disclosed to customers with some sort of expectations. My friend said the cappuccino was "just like every other cappuccino I've ever had." The lavender matcha really just tasted like a regular matcha. It was good but not much lavender flavor! Our food also took a bit to come out, despite the coffee shop being empty (only one other person already dining when we came in) and what we ordered. It looked like there were only two workers. I personally wouldn't visit Sipping Turtle Cafe again, unfortunately. There are a lot of other great options around that satisfy me more.

I don't know what sorcery they are using to bake these scones, but they are not your average dry, flaky pastry. They are moist, gooey, huge, heavy on flavors and ingredients, and always delicious. I'm tempted to ask the owner to start texting me the scone flavors of the day so I never miss my favorites. Top 5 scones: - Peaches and cream - Cherry chocolate - Vanilla chai and/or vanilla rosemary (can't pick) - Lemon ginger - Chocolate caramel pecan Obviously I'm a sweet pastry person, but they also always have a couple of savory options like ham jalapeño cheddar, goat cheese, etc. I had one that was like blackberry habanero one time?? So good and so unique. Thank you, Ritual, for always feeding me scones :)

I took a sip. Yuck! I waited a few minutes, thinking, maybe it wasn't THAT bad, and tried another sip. Yuck! On my way out, I brought my drink back to the counter. It was still warm. I told the guy that the drink was terrible, that it tasted like warmed up Hersheys syrup. He took my drink and said, "Oh I'm sorry about that." I paused a second; he had nothing else to say. He didn't offer to make me a new drink. Didn't offer a pastry. Didn't offer a refund. I'm out $6 and I did not get to enjoy a treat. We're urged to support local, but experiences like this remind me why I like to go to the consistent chain that ALWAYS remakes my drink if there's a problem (which their rarely is), no questions asked. Totally disappointing. Would not go back because my drink was terrible and the customer service didn't exist.
