A nice rugged Cafe at the lobby of an office block. Not an expected place to find doughnuts but finally got my hands on thse famous doughnuts that always sells out!The traditional buttermilk doughnut do not disappoint! Balanced, tasty, fluffy and fresh, YUMMMMM!The cortado to complement the sweeties is very good as well, just what you expect to find in an office block, intense, dark but balanced, a bitter-sweet note of chocolate flavor, crisp and clean. On point.

Some seriously fresh old-fashioned donuts. The lemon poppyseed is phenomenal and the latte was fantastic. Definitely understand the lines and hype at this donut institution.

Service is always prompt even when they have a full house. The prices are well within reason for the quality.

I am definitely not a fan of cake doughnuts but I like these more than any other cake doughnut Ive ever had.

Better-than-average hipster donut. My experience: got two (coconut and pistachio) and could not finish due to diminishing returns. Donated the rest to riverside vagrant.Get three to try more flavors and donate more donuts.

So good!! Salted caramel latte and a salted caramel donut. Plus a toasted almond donut for the road. Friendly service. Plenty of seating.

Cute shop thats nestled in the lobby of the office building. This location serves up only old fashioned donuts, unlike their main shop by Merchandise Mart (with the exception of a rotating daily donut special). The donuts are always spot on and delicious, moist with a great crunch on the outside. Their coffee and espresso drinks are also on point. Friendly and fast staff ensure that the line keeps moving.

This is THE place for donuts! Tried a ton of others and have yet to find better.This location serves only classic but there are many flavors and they are all wonderful.It has a cute little sitting area and the staff is great for how busy they normally are.

Best donuts in Chicago. The lemon poppy seed one is amazing and sometimes they have a root beer glazed donut that is impossible to pass up. I have some friends that say the donuts are too dense and sweet but that is exactly how I like them.

Its hard to find from the street, but once you get through the revolving doors of the GoGo building, youll find it. Amazing people, and fantastic donuts. Treat your colleagues to a dozen. 😘

Great donuts and nice strong coffee. I was expecting coffee to be secondary to their donuts, but they bring their strong drip is as good as any of the best shops. Located right next to Ogilvie inside an office building, its very convenient to grab coffee here before heading off on the rest of my walk to work. So if you work in or around the loop, I definitely recommend giving Doughnut Vault a try.

Use to frequent this place quite often when I lived in Chicago. Its sort of tucked away in a hallway on the bottom floor. Excellent coffee and even better donuts!

Doughnuts are pretty tasty here, but the coffee leaves something to be desired. They also seem to do a pretty bad job of understanding demand for their product throughout the week: some days theyll be out of all but one flavor by 9:30am, and others theyll have supply well after lunch.

Love it! Classy little spot for an espresso and gourmet donut. Worth the extra steps to get here instead of visiting a mass market donut shop.

Review №36

It was good but given the hype and difficulty of acquiring I expected something that blitzes the competition which isnt really true. Also having access to the full selection of options is a difficult game of trial and error I dont have time to play. If you live or work close enough to it, that might change things though.

The doughnuts are nice... But if you go to the one at 111 N Canal St, ask for the Latte Isaias (sorry if I misspelled) is the Barista. Our LATTES were DELICIOUS! You have to tried it. My picture doesnt do justice to this amazing Latte.

Nice doughnuts but no doughnut is nice enough for me to pay more than $3 for each. They sell so I am sure there are a few people who disagree with me.

Doughnuts are of course stupid good. The coffee was also a pleasant surprise, some of the best drip coffee in the Loop.

Er
Review №50

Ordered a chai and was seriously disappointed they just used a store bought container and added some milk - I can do that myself. I guess it serves me right, and I should go somewhere that focuses on making drinks, and not just selling donuts. If Im ever in the mood for an overpriced donut, I know where to look.

So you are in the west loop and want doughnuts? Im not talking about those sorry excuses across the street at Dunkin but some real ones? Well this new Vault stop on Canal is going to take care of you. The doughnuts are great, at least in the morning! Choices go down throughout the day as the selection dwindles and they are MUCH better when fresh than as an afternoon treat.The flavor is still there but they just arent the same after around 1.Also, some great espresso! Now heres where my review has to get a little harder on them as we have a full selection of coffees in the area with a Dunkin, Starbucks, Lavazza, and Au Bon Pain... Not to mention all of the fast food and breakfasty joints that also have coffee.Still, if you are there for a doughnut anyway you wouldnt go wrong by picking one of theirs up - I just wouldnt go out of my way for just the coffee. Still, a great little cafe with an extremely friendly wait staff. I only wish they had more options aside from the doughnuts at the location to enjoy.

Im a regular here and while the doughnuts are incredible--a case could be made for the best in the world title, though this location doesnt carry the phenomenal yeast doughnuts that the Franklin location does--I continue to come back for the espresso drinks.I am somewhat of a coffee snob and while I cant honestly say I have that much praise for the espresso itself (its passable and not offensive, though doesnt bring much to the table), Hogsalt and this DV location in particular have a way with milk that I have not seen repeated at any of the major coffee players in the city (Intelligencia, Bow Truss, etc.). So if you like macchiatos, cortados, lattes or cappuccinos, this is honestly about as good as it gets in my opinion.I also have to call out the staff here. They are friendly, patient and genuinely just awesome people. They make my morning (and occasionally afternoon) stop one of the bright spots in my day.

A bit on the expensive side, this location only has the cake style doughnut which Im not a fan of, you will need to go to the other location on Kinze st.Coffee is overpriced.
