Sweet Circle — Restaurant in Elmhurst

Went out of our way to go here specifically. They advertised half dozens for various prices. It says $15 for special ones. So we pick out 6 and then the lady tells us we had to get different ones if we want the deal. They really need to make this more clear so people know exactly which ones they can get for each price. The lady was nice though, and gave us an extra for free, which I do appreciate. I specifically came here for the creme brulee cronut and quite honestly was really disappointed. Barely any filling, and the filling was nothing like creme brulee. It tastes exactly like canned grocery store donut custard. There was nothing brulee about it, just dipped in chocolate on one side for some reason? Maple bacon was decent. Impossible to park anywhere near it, by the way. Had to walk over from the Walgreens...

Popped in today on a whim when I saw the cute pink exterior. I was so excited to see a donut place in Elmhurst!

Their glazed donut is easily the best donut I've ever had (better than Stan's, Do-Rite, and Firecakes). I also brought some to my parents and my dad immediately called me to tell me that he ate the apple fritter in 5 minutes - it was THAT good. We also got the Nutella donut, the maple bacon, the red velvet, piña colada, and the birthday cake - all were seriously outstanding.

Also, it's worth mentioning that the young woman who helped me was so wonderful - she helped me pick out which donuts to try and was super kind.

I can't wait to come visit my parents again so I can swing by...

Pretty solid donut shop. They had a wide variety of flavors...different styles so a little bit of something for everyone. I got a dozen and it was about 40-ish bucks. They had old fashioned donuts, cake donuts, filled donuts, and even cronuts. There are options for lattes. I purchased an iced marshmallow latte and if I'm being completely honest it just tasted like a vanilla latte...but it was a decent latte after all was said and done. I don't think I'd make the hike out again since its about 40 minutes from my home, but if you are in the area it's a very cute shop with friendly staff as well. Its tiny, but there is seating inside...people were coming in with kids so it's a kid friendly...
