Chocolate Glazed – La Estrella Bakery

On a day off, a friend and I visited Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. Our main destination was the Busy Beaver Button Company. Inside the office space is "the world's only pin-back button museum." It's a neat display and I highly recommend checking it out. And, it's free to visit! Across from where we parked the…

Vanilla Iced with Sprinkles – Dunkin’ Donuts

It's been a while since I've reviewed a Dunkin' Donuts donut. Today's is a classic: vanilla iced with sprinkles. It's got the 'gram appeal and goes well with my morning coffee. This summer Dunkin' is offering a Heath Bar and Hershey Cookies 'N' Cream candy bar flavored coffee. I decided to try the Cookies 'N'…

Homer Simpson Donut – West Town Bakery

Besides saying "D'oh!" Homer Simpson is most known for his love of donuts and is usually seen eating a pink frosted one with sprinkles.

Chocolate Strawberry (Vegan) – Smack Dab

Though I am not vegan, I decided to give Smack Dab‘s donut a try. There are 3 places you can find them in Chicago: the Wellington CTA stop, their cafe on Clark Street, and their Pop Up in Rogers Park. I found out about Smack Dab through a sponsored post on Facebook.

Salvation Army Sprinkles – Glazed and Infused (National Doughnut Day Part 2)

My second stop on National Doughnut Day was to Glazed and Infused. For any doughnut purchased, you received a coupon for a free vanilla bean glazed. For the weekend only, Glazed and Infused had a doughnut honoring the Salvation Army's 100th year.

Strawberry Frosted – Dunkin’ Donuts

A bright pink donut is often the first image that comes to mind when you think of a donut. It is commonly depicted in artwork, dresses, socks, and earrings. The Strawberry Frosted donut (with sprinkles!) fits that stereotype perfectly. It doesn't need any gimmicks or ~trendy~ flavors added to it. Appearance: 5 It's so pretty! When I…
