Some of the best cake donuts around

Beacon makes what are probably the best cake donuts I have ever had. Their range of creative flavors is impressive and all of the donuts we tried there were delicious. Sweet but not too sweet, flavored well without being overbearing. They also look gorgeous! Giving four stars instead of five because personally I much prefer yeast donuts and this is basically all cake donuts. But if you are looking for cake donuts, Beacon is the place to go!

Pros: Great flavor choices, Beautiful and delicious food, Cool storefront

Cons: Not enough yeast donuts

So good

Everything we had was delicious! Hadn’t had yeast raised donuts since going vegan and these definitely hit the spot 😍will be a regular stop on future Chicago trips

Fantastic Vegan Donuts

The donuts from Beacon are DELICIOUS! Even my non-vegan family loved them. They have a wider selection of donuts (all vegan) than other bakeries that only have 1 or 2 vegan donut options.

Best vegan donuts!

My non vegan friends beg me to bring these to coffee! Better than any non vegan donut I’ve every had (before my enlightenment of course)

Pros: All the vegan donuts , Fluffy but also some cake donuts if you prefer

Cons: Order night before to avoid long lines on weekend

Best. Donuts.

A fully vegan donut shop with the best donuts ever. You literally could not tell that they are vegan. The yeast donut consistency is perfect, the cake donut consistency is perfect too. Their chocolate glaze is simply amazing. The only "bad" thing about this place is that the donuts are very sweet lol. #Veganuary

Pros: Fully vegan!!, Everything is SO DELICIOUS , The chocolate glaze 🥵

Cons: They can sell out, need to pre-order sometimes, The caramel donut is aggressively caramel

Best donuts!

Excellent yeast donuts (also have cake donuts). Interesting flavors, but beware, you may get messy! Be prepared to take donuts to-go, as this is a walk up window.

Best donuts

So freakin good. I’ve had some of their seasonal flavors (apple cider, spiced pumpkin) and classics (birthday cake and double chocolate). You can’t go wrong. I appreciate that they do some fried donuts, not just came ones.

Like Dunkin’ but better!

These are not donut shaped cupcakes! They are light and fluffy yeast donuts and golden delicious fried cake donuts. All the unique flavors are Devine but the classic chocolate is my favorite.

Pros: Everything

Cons: A little hard to find. Go to alley

Creative donuts

Most of the donuts are great! Have had a few that we didn’t love. The coconut donut unfortunately tasted very burnt and our Apple fritter was undercooked and very doughy but all of the other donuts we have tried we have loved! Recommend the carrot cake, Boston cream and the peppermint patty the most!

Pros: Creative flavors, Many options

Cons: Expensive , No seating

best vegan donuts. ever.

I ordered a dozen donuts back about a year ago and ate half of them on the drive home, they are that good. when I was there last, they still offered non-vegan donuts, if this is still the case, hopefully they go completely vegan. with all the amazing vegan donut options, they don’t even need the cruelty-filled ones. :)

Pros: lots of vegan options, beautiful artwork around shop, kind staff

Cons: pretty pricey (but worth it), hard to find (it’s in an alley)

Great vegan doughnuts!

All donuts on the menu were vegan when I visited! We got six different flavors and all were great. The walk-up window is in the alley, so you can miss it easily.
