Review №1

Born in West Dundee, John and Allison Reno’s CRAFT Donuts + Coffee inched closer to Chicago during summer of last year, an outpost inside the Des Plaines Metra Station offering several of the couple’s artisan rings for guests with the foresight to drive right past Dunkin.Currently open from 8am until Noon Friday thru Sunday, COVID-19 precautions and convenient online ordering making the walk-up window, curbside handoff or delivery all viable options, it was with rain pelting down that six selections were found boxed and ready, the Gluten Free choice visibly smaller than the others and frankly depressing for those with Celiac or perceived intolerance who have to settle for such an insipid and texturally disastrous “treat.”Leaving behind two-thirds of the outlier, CRAFT Donuts immediately earned their title with three Vegan Yeast-raised rounds, the fact that no Eggs or Butter can produce such a fluffy base unexpected while Toppings including thick Cookie Butter and stewed-Peaches plus Streusel came liberally applied and delicious.Further impressed by Maple Chai, chopped Pecans adding a toasty linger to the already complex pairing, fans of Cake Donuts should keep an eye on CRAFT Donuts + Coffee’s rotating menu because although the standard Old Fashioned is good, Double Chocolate is a work of art thanks to the soft Brownie-like Dough fried just long enough to render the outer-edge crispy.

They have amazing donuts! I love their vegan donut options! They also have gluten-free donuts and keto donuts. They have yeast and cake style donut options. Their vegan yeast donuts are my favorite in the Chicagoland area. They also make cinnamon rolls and donut holes. They bake them daily at their West Dundee location. Flavors change pretty frequently, so theres always something new to try. Theres also a reward program (although I only heard about it after going many times already). You can order in advance online so the donut you want will be saved for your pickup. Flavors can go fast. Definitely best eaten the same day. Brown sugar oat milk latte is great too and by default vegan. You can get it hot or a prepackaged cold. I love this place.

Love CRAFT Donuts. Literally my go to place for vegan donuts since they have some of the tastiest options! I have been ordering online for some time now so I can make sure my donuts are in stock (they sell out quickly) and I have never had a problem. The staff is cool too.

They made happy birthday donuts for my partner that were both adorable and delicious.Not to mention, their nitro cold brew is out of this world. It legitimately almost tastes like beer. The flavor is really intense, and I love it. Best nitro Ive had.

Donuts were decent, iced coffee was just ok. Staff was exceptional though, very friendly and helpful.

YUMMMM. All I can say. I thoroughly enjoy their donuts and coffee and the fact that the flavors are always changing keeps things exciting! Hope they’ll stay forever since there aren’t many places like it in the suburbs. Only thing I wish is that they would have longer hours! Otherwise, no complaints!

Amazing place. Wonderful donuts, with delicious flavors. I would go there one or more times a week after getting off of the train, and was never disapointed. The service was also wonderful.P.S, the creme brulle and pumpkin pie filled donusts are SO GOOD! (chocolate gnache filled comes in a close second)P.P.S Sorry for the spelling mistakes

Amazing. Found vegan donuts in Des Plaines. This cafe is just like what you would find in the city. Vegan options are great. We got raspberry lemon and sprinkle long John.Next time looking to try different flavor and also their craft coffee.Located at the Des Plaines train station.

Your all in one at the station. Need CTA transit money you got it need coins you got it, need a ticket for the train again you got it. Donuts arent cheap per se like Dunkin or Krispy but they are specially made and pretty tasty

I always give places a 2nd try, and not being able to even finish 1 single donut from Craft Donuts a 2nd time around is enough to say their donuts arent great. Places like Donut Drop and Rise and Roll have way better donuts for your time and money, and you will understand if youve ever eaten a great donut.I judge strictly on the product, whats supposed to be good or not. And doing that Craft Donuts isnt great especially since I couldnt finish 1 single donut. I just threw them out.Even donut chains like Stans Donuts and 2nd rate place like Firecake Donuts have better donuts than Craft Donuts. I wont be back.
