Best Vegan Doughnut - Edit
I’ve had doughnuts in Bethlehem (PA), Rome, Madrid, Philadelphia, Paris, New York City and beyond. Beacon stands above them all.

Good donuts, but secretly not 100% vegan - Edit
The donuts are good, but they also serve drip coffee with oat milk or 1/2 & 1/2. I told my group "it's gotta be some type of vegan 1/2&1/2 because happycow says they are vegan and they are strict about the listings". But after we ordered, I decided to double-check with them and found out happycow was wrong. Turns out the 1/2 & 1/2 is dairy. I wouldn't complain so much if their signage indicated dairy or if they pointed it out when ordering. Dangerous allergen protocols! Even though I like the donuts, I'd given them 1 star if the app would let me.
Read moreTheir online ordering also doesn't disclose the dairy.

Absolutely phenomenal - Edit
The reviews are true. We ordered a dozen to sample each flavor. They are the best doughnuts we ever had. As an omni, they even top the other non-vegan donut shops. And I positively love the culinary care they put into all the dough nuts. Most places accommodating vegs will do a vegan cinnamon sugar or a chocolate. We have VARIETY here. All flavors are bangin; we couldn't pick a fave. They are totally worth the 40 minute drive to Chicago. We'll def come again.
Read morePros: Flavor & texture, Vegan, Hole-in-the-wall location adds to charm
Cons: Far from the suburbs.

Awesome selection - Edit
My GF and I ordered a dozen to try all the flavors and they were literally all great. My favorites were the 'Blueberry Pancake' and a regular 'Glazed' donut.

Excellent donuts! - Edit
So yummy! Ordered ahead. Quick, convenient, and nicely packaged. Tried six flavors and all were very good. I am a plain and glazed person, and the cronut hit the spot.

So good - Edit
The donuts were great. The guava and cheese danish was the highlight for me. I also had the Boston cream and blueberry pancake that had blueberry filling. It was all delicious. My only regret is that I didn’t have room to try more. Definitely coming back when I make it back to chicago.

Best doughnuts ever - Edit
I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of vegan donuts and my standards are very high. This place exceeded my expectations. I’ve never had a cake donut (vegan or non) that tasted so heavenly. The Boston cream donut is cake style and filled with generous amounts of cream so it’s essentially a donut shaped Boston cream cake. No complaints. 10/10
Read moreAlso vanilla cronut was a yeasted donut (so more traditional) and it was crispy and flaky and fluffy. 10/10.
I’m not really a guava girlie so the guava and cheese didn’t do it for me flavor-wise, but my bestie is a guava lover and adored it. Her rating? 10/10.
The donuts aren’t exactly cheap but we got a half dozen for $18 and fed three people breakfast (and some lunch if we’re being honest).

Must try!! - Edit
Boston cream donuts were my fav before going vegan, and I hadn’t had one since going vegan. The Beacon Doughnuts Boston Cream did not disappoint! Soooo good! My husband got the birthday cake and the vanilla bean cronut and loved both. We will def be back next time we’re in town!!

Delectable Vegan Donuts 🍩 - Edit
I love Beacon Doughnuts! We started off conservatively and only got three donuts to try instead of a half dozen because I've been disappointed at other places before. All three were fantastic so we went back on Thanksgiving for a half dozen and a bonus fritter! The Boston Cream donut is like nothing I've had before. I'm obsessed with it now. The glazed brioche ring was so tall and puffy. The beignet with raspberry and grapefruit jam was delightful! We loved every donut we tried. Will definitely be back next time we're in Chicago!

I had glazed & chocolate frosted donuts, they were great! They don’t use tree nuts or coconuts often, but make sure to ask if you’re allergic

Not my favorite - Edit
I would rank it 4th out of the 5 vegan donut shops that I’ve been to. The consistency of the donuts is thick and not as moist as I’m used to.

Of course, it comes down to personal taste. I like good old-fashioned donut house donuts. I don’t like the fancy cake donuts, and such. I mean, I like cake, donuts, but they aren’t donuts to me, they are just donut shaped cake. :)

Beacon Doughnuts - Edit
Pretty great for Chicago. I liked the vanilla cronut best but it had more icing than I’d care for, so I just ate around that. The chocolate donut was also good and my fiancé loved the apple fritter. Nice to see how packed they were during our visit!

Best doughnuts I've ever had - Edit
We loved Beacon's so much we got them a couple of times during our few days in Chi Town.
Read moreThe dark choc and sea salt and apple fritter were our first ventures and set the bar super high- the apple fritter in particular was an incredibly fluffy and the frosting was delicious.
Our second time around we knew two wasn't going to be enough! So we got:
- Blueberry pancake which had a soft and pillowy outer oozing with an amazing jam
- Vanilla iced cronut which may have been my favourite of all the ones we tried. Special.
- Cinnamon & coffee cake which was just like a softer cinnamon bun
- Raspberry pistachio- a really nice frosting but maybe overshadowed by the others just because the other three were so spectacular.
You seem to be able to get them all across the city as well as at their own shop/stalls, so seek them out and eat them all!
