Firecakes Donuts

I’m visiting Chicago and I searched for nearby donuts! Wow did I get lucky! This place is amazing. The donuts are fresh and so many flavors! The money bread donut was so good! The Margarita donut was my favorite! I tasted the pineapple coconut fritter so amazing! I love the gluten free and vegan options they have available too. I’m taking some back to PA! Check them out.

Food: I ordered two donuts. The gluten free Double Chocolate Coconut and the Coconut Cream. The double chocolate coconut was dense but moist. It wasn't as heavy on the chocolate flavor as the name suggests but still enjoyable. The coconut flakes are more of a garnish than flavor enhancer. I would order this again. The coconut cream however, I would pass on. I was anticipating for it to be filled with cream but the only cream you are getting is the dollop on top. Without it, the dense breading inside isn't much to celebrate. Be sure to spread and savor the dollop that is on top. I additionally ordered a hot chocolate that I feel neutral. Not bad or watered down in any way. I was hoping for a thicker consistency, but I'd order it again as well. Service: There was one girl working the shop in the morning. She was young, kind, and patient. Despite making all the drinks herself, she made them rather quickly. Atmosphere: Small cafe but it has a warm, cozy feeling. It has a slight rustic barn vibe to it. Small table off to the side for seating. There wasn't any patio seating when I visited in April. Depending on how crowded this place can get, the lounge area can fill quickly. More of a quick stop in, grab your goods, and head out due to lack of space.
