Wheeling Donuts — Restaurant in Wheeling Township

Been anticipating this trip for a while. If you live from around here, you'll find that Dunkin has pretty much monopolized the entire northwest suburbs with its sugar, air, and lack of taste (yeast donuts) which is pretty unfortunate.

Entering in, it's a classic dessert diner. There's plenty of space for a line of patrons between service and dining. The restaurant houses maybe 5-10 seats, and you can see the availability of their donuts from the front.

My sister and I also loved their cinnamon rolls.

Whenever we're visiting the area we will definitely be stopping here for our donut fix and to try more of the...

I have very high standards for donuts. I grew up near what I still think is the best donut place and assumed that all donuts were that incredible. I have been disappointed everywhere since except for Wheeling Donuts. The French cruller has an incredible open, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The glazed donut is a classic done perfectly. Both are the exact right amount of sweetness - not bland but not sickly sweet either. To top it all off the prices are incredibly reasonable (not that it would matter, we would still get these if there were $5 per). We...
