I have recently been introduced to the world of donuts, and little did I know Chicago has some of the best ones around.
This all started when I realized I have a Glazed and Infused literally right next door to my apartment building. It's the best and worst thing to ever happen to me... Best because donuts, worst because donuts. I've tried nearly all of the varieties they offer over there and not one has disappointed me yet. Chocolate and red velvet were the first two I tried and are my favorites thus far. This place is definitely known for their donuts, but try their coffee next time you're there too! It may also be my favorite coffee place.
Glazed and Infused is not the only donut spot in town, so I plan on checking out others as time goes on. A Stan's Donuts location is just a few blocks, so I went there last weekend. Tried out their old-fashioned and nutella banana pocket... I don't think anyone can goof up a classic old-fashioned donut, so that one was good (definitely one to pair with coffee). However, the nutella banana pocket was very subpar. Granted I didn't eat it immediately, because I finished the old-fashioned first and was a little full (shocker for anyone who knows me), so maybe had I ate it sooner, my opinion would be different. It was just very hard and tasted burnt. Moral of the story is I probably won't be trying that one again anytime soon.
If you have any donut shop or flavor recommendations, definitely let me know!
