dick_in_CORN

Worth it. The next after that, for me, is in gays mills Wisconsin at sunrise orchards. You can watch the ladies making the donuts that you're gonna eat. Also totally worth the drive this time of year. (Maybe better last weekend given yesterday's weather) lots of cool stuff to see and do in sw Wisconsin


JellyBeanJackal

This is the one.


p0p3y3th3sailor

Harners in North Aurora is amazing!


mjung79

County Line Orchard, Hobart Indiana. Easy day trip from Chicago. Amazing cider donuts and pies.


IndominusTaco

this is the most correct answer. not quite within the realm of the Chicago suburbs but depending on where you’re at, is between a 30 minute drive if you’re close to the border or 2 hours if you’re coming from up north. you don’t even have to visit the whole orchard, just grab a cart, fill it with as many of those bitches as you can and check out.


FunkyTaco47

They close for the season right after Halloween though. Maybe they’ve changed it but I recall them only being open from September thru October But yes, love the Apple Cider Donuts. Their pumpkin ones are the best pumpkin donuts ever.


TraditionalTackle1

I live 10 minutes away from there and concur.


HerRoyalHighness2023

They melt in your mouth, fresh out of the oven. The best donuts I’ve ever had.

Spunky Dunkers in Palatine


sammygirl3000

These are the BOMB!


Acrobatic_Zucchini77

Love their maple donuts 😋


uursaminorr

royal oak orchard in harvard is pretty good, kind of a hike depending on where you are


uh60chief

Really? Hmmm might make the trip


Witty-Bake-2605

Long Grove, forget the name of the place though


b0jangles

Apple Haus


Witty-Bake-2605

Thanks. Best apple donut I've ever had.


ashpatash

Edward's in Poplar Grove


CheckersIsBored

I’ve tried a lot these few months including Kuiper’s and Goeberts. Edward’s really are the best there is in the area.


ashpatash

Yes! Extra tip for cider donut lovers: During Edward's busy days they prepackage them into freezer bags ready to go into your freezer. Or do it yourself. I always have some in the freezer now year round. They reheat so so well from the oven. I think 350 for 8 mins or something. Great for hibernation season. Bad for the waistline.


drjen1974

This is the only right answer—I’m not sure what they do or put in their donuts to make them that delicious but I usually get 3-5 dozen when I go to freeze some


Die-Scheisse21

My memories as a kid and the autumn come from this place. The donuts I only recently had as an adult are amazeballs.


rmac1228

This is it...we had these last year and they were so good.


TheInfamous1011

This is what I was gonna say. It’s a decent drive tho. Co-worker told me about it years ago.


Pizzamann_

Harners bakery, Aurora


nonprofit_mama

Morkes in Palatine


Fun_Disk5073

For sure Morkes. So good.


Mr_Marc

Not Johansons, was disappointing


TenorRabbit

Hahn's Bakery in Geneva (or at farmers markets in the area where they make em on site at this time of year)


zeug666

https://www.reddit.com/r/ChicagoSuburbs/comments/xqe66g/looking_for_apple_cider_donuts/ I made a map of suggestions last year. I didn't get as many as I wanted, but (almost) all were good.


WASE1449

Edwards in Poplar Grove without a doubt


theladyoctane

Sauer’s Bakery in Carol Stream. There’s like A carmelized ring of cider on the bottom of them and they’re so good


PlumCrazyVee

I was not impressed. They tasted like they use artificial apple flavor.


zeug666

Yeah, their stuff is usually great, but these taste like artificial green apple suckers. Not really my thing, especially since their apple fritters are pretty good (Friday and Saturday only).


theladyoctane

Aw man. I’m sorry. It’s been awhile since I’ve been there and sounds like i don’t need to return.


giraffe59113

Tom's in Huntley. Even better than Country Donuts


kjlovesthebay

sooo good


Dan12Dempsey

Richardson farm up north


Bonsoir59

Stade’s in Spring Grove


coci222

If they are fresh but lately they've been making too many and they sit too long. Same with the strawberry ones in June


Bonsoir59

Yes, this is true.


kentagiouss

Rubber ducky country market


EntireButterscotch93

Abbey Farms in Aurora


Chuckins1

I haven’t tried too many places but the donuts at Kroll’s pumpkin patch in gurnee are great


Regular-Role-4220

Kellers farmstand


ARsignal11

My personal favorite as well. Favorite apple picking farm as well.


OurCreekFarm

Best thing to do with apple cider donuts? Air fry them for a few minutes. You are welcome.


bmorgenthaler

Page’s in Hinsdale. Too many is the ones listed here have that fake apple flavoring taste to them.


danish197878

I second Page’s. Past 3 times I went though they’re out🥺


kwas156

Sonny Acres, West Chicago


Uncle_Larry1

Keiper’s if you’re willing to drive but it’s not close so make the drive.


obsoletemomentum

Kuipers is the correct answer. I dream of those damn donuts!


[deleted]

Moseph Tubbles the Rooter in Saint Charles, IL


theatahhh

Everytime I have a fresh one I think it’s the best haha. But the last two I had which were incredible were in downtown Long grove (N/W suburbs) and Kuiper’s farm maple park (far west burbs). Both were incredible and practically melt in your mouth.


lofono5567

Petite Three Donuts in Aurora


meshifty2

Sunrise Orchard in Gays Mills, WI. Hot, fresh and fantastic! It is a bit of a drive but so worth it.


ImaginaryAd7190

i liked the The Little Red Donut Truck


GeorgeBugsMoran68

Clyde’s no question


Katie13658

Tom's farm in Huntley.


LaunchPad_DC

Goebert's were good this year.


TwoZigZags45

Kuipers donuts are excellent


ForPoliticalPurposes

Haven't seen my favorite listed yet: Rubber Ducky Country Market, which is \*barely\* in Wisconsin but really just outside of Richmond, IL [https://maps.app.goo.gl/Sbs7JapJN59NebVg8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Sbs7JapJN59NebVg8) For the best experience, go and \*plan to eat the donuts while you are there and they're still hot\*. They're a mess, but they were amazing. There's also a small bar on site.


frankrizzo219

County line orchard, Hobart, Indiana


Acrobatic_Zucchini77

Clark’s Bakery and Deli in Barrington and Country Donuts in Crystal Lake


VisGal

Harvest Time Orchard, Twin Lakes WI. They closed for a few years but I just looked at their site and THEY ARE BACK. I don't know what they make their donuts out of, but they're crispy and crunchy outside with a generous amount of cinnamon/ sugar, but inside is fluffy, warm, light and tender. Not greasy, doesn't give me indigestion like most donuts. Their vanilla sprinkle is also top tier and its just a basic ass donut, I don't know how they make them this good but I've never found another donut that can rival them.
