My mom and I arrived around 2pm on a Sunday. They had a decent amount of donuts left. We got 2 vanilla long johns, a strawberry shortcake, and a few cream puffs. The vanilla long john was TO DIE FOR! I get those at every donut shop and theirs were amazing! The other donuts were good too. The chocolate cream puffs could have used more cream.

First time going there. The lemon drop is my new favorite comfort sweet. I have never tasted anything like it. It was wonderful! And the young man working was awesome and patient with us! A million thumbs up

The decor is what youd expect from a donut shop, but the donuts are the best Ive had. The flavors are more than just toppings. Theres a variety of textures, donut stones, glazes, and crusts.

A sales guy at my last job used to bring these in and the red velvet was amazing. I ended up moving and leaving the job I was at and couldnt think of the name of this place. One day whole going to Sam Ash I saw it and remembered that was the place and had to stop in for my red velvet. SO good. Now, every time Im in the area Ill stop for one and sometimes a scoop of ice cream. On top of it, the staff is friendly.

Absolutely love this place! It really is one of my hometown favorites and I always make the time to go when Im in town! The store is open 24 hours and the donuts are always fresh. This place has spoiled me and I now have a hard time eating donuts from other places. I love how they always have a featured donut of the month and my personal favorite is the Peanut Butter and Jelly Donut in August.Highly recommend, you wont regret your decision of stopping in!

Try the chocolate cream puff! It’s so good! This was my first time here. Just randomly looked for a coffee shop but was pleasantly surprised to find some delicious donut options. Will be back!

Love the donuts here as they always taste fresh and have a wide variety to choose from. Employees are friendly and I never feel rushed when picking the donuts. Prices are reasonable and like the convenience of the drive through when in a hurry. Coffee drinks are also very good. Store hours stay open late. Definitely recommend!

Out of business. Paper over all the windows and doors. Small signs saying closed due to lack of employees. How silly is that??? My guess is they werent doing good financially. Sorry to see a good donut shop go broke.

By far an away the best donuts Ive had in the Chicagoland area - even beating out Stans and Glazed and Infused.These donuts are classic style and consistently very very good. Theres not much else to say except that you wont be disappointed. The coffee is good too, but Ive only tried it once or twice.

I LOVE the donuts here! They are always fresh, and if they arent, theyll make a fresh one for you. Im so glad this place is here, been coming here since they opened.

Review №19

The donuts here are big and delicious, made fresh through the day. Even their day-old specials taste fresh from the kitchen. Spunky Dunkers is a must for me when I want a dozen (or more) for parties, long car trips, or a breakfast treat for the office. Theyre also a must on Packzi day! But place an order or get there early, as their Fat Tuesday treats go fast!

Review №25

Not as good as the Original Spunky Dunkers in Palatine, BUT this one has ice cream! It also has a wider selection of soft drinks. More room to sit than their Palatine cousin too. There is a Dunkin Donuts nearby, dont go there. Go here instead.

Review №26

Spunkys donuts are great but every time I visit the location on Arlington Heights or on Northwest Highway in Palatine they are out of donuts I like. I have called the store and ask if they had a particular donut, when I arrive they were sold out! Another occasion, I visited the location on Northwest Highway and one of the workers were very rude to the young lady at the front taking orders. I will not be going back to Spunky Dunkers. Good-bye Spunky, hello County Donuts!

One dozen Spunky Dunkers were delivered to our office today by a prospective client. Wise choice, better than Dunkin and so moist and delicious. Im speaking for my co-workers, I did not try every donut LOL. I would go out of my way for these, a must try for North Suburbanites.

The best donuts by far ! They taste like real donuts, they dont make them smaller, like their competitors, and I think they put real nutmeg in them, you can taste it in their cake donuts. Keep on doing the magic you do, thanks !

The definition of overrated. Tried a few donuts around 11 am nothing fresh and dry. Employee didnt offer to make any fresh and was more interested in me just hurrying up. Not worth a visit.

Personally I dont get the raving reviews, they are your average donut. Nothing special, I was underwhelmed and Ive given them more than one try thinking that maybe the first attempt was a bad day. Nope, just average.

I want to like this place so bad. I dont know what it is, but every time Ive been here its just not good. The donuts are ok at best. Nothing to rave about, and the store itself just feels old and unthoughtful. Basic. which is fine I suppose. Im just not into this place. That name is funny though lol

I came here on a recommendation but the apple fritter I ordered was frankly terrible. Im all for old diners but this isnt the 1950s and their is no need to have fritters that taste like they were came in a box. Not fresh.

Local business, nestled between two other corporate coffee shops - with superior coffee and donuts. Why people sit in line in the morning while the drive-through to this place is wide open, Ill never understand.
