Venue may not have the most extensive variety of donuts but possibly the tastiest and finest quality of any donuts I've ever had. I can't rate their coffee since I've never tried it but their fresh-made donuts are to-die-for. I'll definitely have to request a cup of Joe on the next visit. The famed award-winning donut shop is not just a local/Gurnee hot spot but indeed a county favorite and Chicagoland icon. Who needs the high end Stan's & Joe Donut and rethink before going to Dunkin'. Give em a try if you haven't yet and support local, these guys are well worth it!

Best Food: Maple Bacon Donut Great Food: Ube Donut with Toasted Nuts or Fruity Pebbles, Red Velvet, Blueberry Donuts Things to Note: Ube can sell out quickly on weekends, so go in early. They keep their specialty donuts in the back, so make sure to ask for what they have. They will usually have it Best donuts by far!! I highly recommend getting the maple bacon donut. That is the best donut by far. Their ube donuts are only sold on the weekends and they are also very delicious. You need to come in early, because they will sell out by noon. Their donut cakes are also a must get for parties. $15 for a donut cake that comfortably feeds 6.

These are solid donuts. Going to have to make a stop everytime I'm in the area. Ube donuts are really good. Service was great. It's a little pricey for the dozen of donuts but well worth it (under $20). They also sell shirts for $30.

My first time going there yesterday. The donuts were not very tasty at all. Jewel has the best so far. I'll never recommend Gurnee Donuts. It's a wait of money. $16.00 a dozen. Jewels are $8.00 a dozen. And they taste a lot better.

Gurnee Donuts: What many Midwesterners tend to associate with Gurnee (including myself) is the home of Six Flags Great America, but almost directly east of the park is a small shop called Gurnee Donuts. It's been around for over 25 years and although I undergo an annual pilgrimage to Six Flags, I've never taken the time to investigate this doughnut spot. A unique offering found only on the weekend is their ube doughnut. Ube is a purple yam commonly found in Filipino cuisine. It has a slightly nutty and vanilla flavor to it. Although I was there by 7:45am, there was a line extending out the door and they were nearly out of the OREO ube doughnut. They also offer a coconut ube doughnut, but let's just say that's not my thing. The doughnut is a cake style doughnut with a lovely purple color and topped with a generous portion of OREO crumbles. I may have detected hints of vanilla, but honestly, if I was blindfolded, I don't think I could have told the difference. I don't mean that in a bad way as it was a delicious doughnut and that means a lot from me since I greatly prefer raised/yeast style doughnuts (which is why I also got my go to raised vanilla sprinkle doughnut). It helped that their ube cake doughnut was not overly dry like a stereotypical low-quality cake doughnut but was instead pleasantly moist and satisfyingly chewy. Gurnee Donuts is Doughboy approved and the next time I'll likely give one of their giant cinnamon rolls a go. Doughboy_Food_Reviews

Drove 30 min to try these as I’ve heard so much about them. I was met with friendly staff and took what was recommended to me. I had basic donuts and it seems I missed the really creative ones. The donuts were typical tasting donuts and I had wasn’t wow’d. Still tasty, but weren’t so out of this world.

Finally made it to the famous Gurnee Donuts a 8 am on a rainy Sunday morning. There were a lot of people waiting in line; always a good sign! The donuts 🍩 are fluffy, crispy, and have a lot of flavor. The staff is courteous and worked fast. We will definitely go there again

We are donut snobs. These are amazing. The texture, the flavors and the frosting. We didn't get an Ube donut - the guy in front of us took the last one (which is my fault because I let him go first) but the rest did not disappoint. I asked about Bavarian creme and they didn't have any so they filled two right then and there. We bought 2 dozen and about wiped them out which kinda stinks because you gotta get there EARLY. It's a small joint and small staff so they sell out quick. They are expensive but you get what you pay for. We were also over 2 hours from home on vacation so it's not like we can just pop over there. We will be back. These things are incredible. If you find better, please tell me where so I can try those.

The best donuts I have found in lake county! LOVE the red velvet ❤️

Best donuts I’ve had from this part of Lake County. Not as good or fairly priced as Wheeling Donuts, but that’s a drive for me. Fritter, sour cream, and cherry were all good. Didn’t care for the bacon maple long John, but I tend to not like bacon on donuts. I think the maple bacon long John would be better with some vanilla cream inside.

Good donuts 😋 Tasty lavender latte too!

Great donuts. However, the kid serving customers should smile and greet more. Customer service is about making clients feel welcomed.

These donuts are the best by far in the area! I love their coconut cake donut. Not overly sweet. They have a great selection of donuts. They are fresh!

Just magical! Super soft donuts made by hand from a kind, hard working family. Don’t be fooled, even the simple looking options are great. No bad choices here!

My go to for donuts. They’ve got a great selection and everything I’ve had here has been incredible. The texture and flavor of the donuts are great, and if you’re a cake donut lover like me they have so many different varieties. To me this is the best donut place in the area.

This is one of the best doughnut shops in Gurnee area. If you visiting from out of town it's a must try. P.S. their Lavender and Honey Latte is delicious.

Super cute local hole-in-the-wall donut shop, they sell out of a lot of the fancier ones pretty early but they're all great! We had the red velvet, chocolate frosted, fruity pebbles, and the twist! The twist was definitely my favorite but they were all super tasty! Service is also super fast which makes it a great pitstop for a quick breakfast on the go!

We literally live in Wisconsin and drive almost 25-30 mins to get these AMAZING donuts. The staff are beyond friendly. This is also a definite stop on the way to Great America, too.

Fantastic, classic donut shop. A wide variety of from scratch donuts that ranges from a classic plain to fruity pebbles on top. I would recommend getting there early. The parking lot is tight and getting in and out can be difficult. Well worth your time. I highly recommend it.

Solid no frills donut shop. On the weekends they have special flavors. Best in the lake and Kenosha county areas.

Visited for the first time and we are blown away by how delicious the donuts were. The lady was friendly and welcoming to us. We highly recommend. I will be returning for my birthday.
