Glazed and Infused Doughnuts

They have some of the best donuts I have ever had. Personally, I am also quite happy with a fresh, hot Krispy Kreme original glazed donut coming off the conveyor belt. However, when it comes to any other flavor (besides original glazed), I feel Glazed and Infused has all the big chain stores beat, easily. There is a definite artisanship in how they craft their donuts, what flavors they use and what pallets they combine. This is not a place where you should play it safe. Try something new and different. That’s where the fun begins.
However, something important to note is that they have a changing menu, so you might eat a donut you absolutely loved, but a few weeks later it’s gone and you will never see it again (at least for a very long time, so long that you’ll probably forget about it by then). Also, parking can be a nightmare.

We finally made it to Glazed and Infused for the first time, and were not disappointed! I got three (yes three) donuts, the Vanilla Bean Glazed, Red Velvet, and the 4 Chocolate. The vanilla bean has to be my favorite, it was fluffy yet still filling. Red velvet was a close second, we ate this one a day later and it still tasted fresh! The 4 Chocolate was good, it was a little dry, but it could be because I’m not too big of a fan of cake donuts. I also got a chai tea latte which was also delicious. Overall, we will definitely be coming back!

This was my first time visiting Chicago and I read that this place was a must ! We weren’t and I saw this amazing gem (Smores Nutella donut). It was about 3 $ and it was amazing ! I wanted to try a funky flavor donut as well but was too full after this one. The top was even like a toasted marshmallow! I highly recommend trying this donut shop!

What can I say, other than there are just too many great options to choose from! So much so that I went to my usual, a chocolate old fashioned. The staff is cool and helpful, and the coffee hot the spot.
Simple location to get to, right under the Brown Line.
Thanks for another great experience.

Huge and delicious donuts! If you get there early there will be plenty of different donuts and fritters to choose from. However, if you go close to closing you’re gonna be stuck with what’s left. Either way you’ll leave with a donut the size of your hand and a smile on your face. I went seasonal and got Pumpkin Spice and was not disappointed.

With a name like Glazed and Infused we had to give it a shot. We were driving to Milwaukee and needed doughnuts! I got the Raspberry Old Fashioned and Wifey grabbed a couple Chocolate doughnut holes. Both were awesome. Easy parking and fast. Great neighborhood as well.

Just moved into the area & decided to check these donuts out. Super fresh, but I went at 7:30am, so they just opened. All were unique and definitely artisan. But the raspberry glazed old fashion was truly incredible! I was worried it would be fake or too sweet, but it had this deliciously tart, fresh summer raspberries.
They were out of the vanilla donuts – which odd for their signature donut being out within 30 minutes of opening? But the guy said their baker screwed up and more would be delivered later in the morning. Guy was super friendly, chatty and helpful for a first timer.
It’s worth a stop off the El, so definitely check them out!

Donuts are ok, but not sure about the hype. Parking is a nightmare, but if you’re walking by, maybe worth a stop. The donuts midday just did not taste as fresh as I would have expected. For about 80 cents @ DD: whatever, but for $ 3 each, I expected a lot more.
The worst part of it, as I walked in with my 2 kids to pick out donuts; one guy behind the counter (chunky Hispanic?, sorry) had a plate in front of him with a half eaten donut and 2 small ones. I figured maybe those are samples? NOPE! He proceeded to much on them while we perused the selections. I know the place has a casual vibe, but don’t eat in front of customers! Especially if you plan on handling food or talking to them.

This place is fantastic. Lots of fun flavors but I’ll be honest, I have tried 99% of what they have and my favorite is the old fashioned. It is indescribably good. Melt in your mouth and just incredible. So now that I’ve been a million times and tried all of them, now when I go I usually stick to my mainstay. However there isn’t a bad doughnut in the bunch. Crème brûlée donut is pretty decadent. My husband can’t pass up a red velvet donut here.
PS they must deliver, because one year for my anniversary my girlfriend had a dozen donuts delivered to my house! I answered my door and there was a girl standing there with a box of donuts (there was a message written right on the box), and when I said, ‘oh! wow! I didn’t know you delivered!’ she smiled, handed me my donuts and left. So… I don’t know if that was her way of saying «I don’t really want to, but here I am» lol. Who knows.

Loved it! We came for an afternoon snack lol and shared the apple fritter. It was so delicious my whole mouth is salivating writing this! Sweet, big, fluffy, and so yummy. The shop was clean and staff was kind. Oh also ask them about the gluten free donuts for those who have gluten allergies.
Needless to say I’ll be back for another the next time I’m in the area.

Amazing! All the donuts were simply wonderful! The cajeta donut and peanut butter and jelly were my faves! Definitely worth the trip :)

Finally! Every time my boyfriend and I walk by this location they are closed and we are always bummed. Today we walked by early in the day and decided to stop in for a doughnut to share. We love the maple bacon doughnut so much. Today we decided to go with the sprinkles one to keep it simple. It was the best sprinkles doughnut I’ve ever had. This location is nice. They have an area in the back with seats. Staff was friendly, which is nice at a place like this when you want to take you time deciding what you want. Go get a doughnut now!

…These donuts are yummy!
I tried my first glazed and infused donut at work during a colleague’s baby shower and all I remember was this amazing apple fritter taste!
I tried my second G&I at work again and loved it just as much! (Had the apple fritter once more). I warmed it up a bit.
A couple months later I figured let me visit an actual G&I shop, so on a quiet Sunday morning in Lincoln Park I went inside the packed shop and felt the yuppie ambience of the place. Donuts were neatly displayed in two windows and the staff was attentive and nice.
I choose the old fashion donut and loved it! Tip: warm it up in the microwave by the cashier for an even better taste. I asked the cashier how long should I warm it and she said 15 seconds, which was just about right.
The back of the place had several tables and chairs for seating and it was packed.
If you’re worried about calories I don’t think you should be here lol. I considered this donut my once a month cheat meal.
My favorite warmed up old fashion donut is from Starbucks actually but this one had a better fresh taste so I recommend it over sbux if you’re near a G&I shop.

Walked 3.5 miles round trip to get these doughnuts and they were worth the walk, just for the fact that I walked off all the calories I ate!
Service was okay. The cashier who helped us seemed to be trying to hurry us along even though we had never been there before and need a minute to decide and she did not smile once while we were in there. Maybe she was having an off day, but would have been nice to have a little friendlier service and help since we were new to the store.
Price was reasonable for sure. These were not anywhere on par with gas station donuts or Dunkin Donuts so I was willing to pay more for better quality.
The doughnuts themselves were great! I really enjoyed the raspberry Oreo doughnut and the frosting definitely tasted like there were real raspberries in there. The Chocolate 4 was good, but maybe a little too chocolaty. The Vanilla Bean was okay– nothing special, but their Old Fashioned was excellent, probably my favorite!

I am giving 5 stars for amazing and unique donuts, as well as friendly employees.
Walked by here on my way home and decided to pop in and check out what they had to offer. Everyone raves about their donuts, so I wanted to see if they lived up to the hype. They definitely do. They will give you free samples of some of their donuts to try, the staff is friendly to a fault, and they have intelligentsia coffee they sell with their donuts.
Everything is made fresh, using top quality ingredients, and they have a rotating weekly special of filled donuts (think a different jelly doughnut filling based on the day of the week). The day I went, it was crème brûlée. I was taken aback at how much the crème brûlée doughnut tasted like the real dessert! I tried the maple bacon long john on a recommendation from my friend, and if bacon on donuts scares you a little bit, trust me, you have to try it. Finally I got some standard go-to’s, old fashioned and a chocolate doughnut, They take even their basic standard doughnut flavors to the next level. The apple fritter is out of this world.
All in all, you can’t really get a single bad thing on their menu. Go in with an open mind, and be prepared to sample more than a few!

Fairly small variety each day so you may be disappointed if you go for a specific one. The ones I had were all quite good and bigger than most regular donut shops. Some unusual ones to choose too like maple bacon with a strip of bacon on top. Be aware, these are about $ 40/​dozen! Each can be cut into quarters so many can share and still have a nice taste of each one since they are rather large. Worth a visit, just not too often!

Comments from my family when I brought these home:
This is the best apple fritter I’ve ever had!
Where are these from?!
How many doughnuts are left? I want another one!
So basically these are the best doughnuts we’ve ever had. Personally, I loved their traditional, old fashioned doughnut but their bacon infused doughnut was also great. ½ dozen doughnuts will cost you about $ 18 but it’s worth it.

How could you not love this place? I love the outside-​the-​box donuts they offer and each time I’ve been in they have samples available. The employees are also very knowledgeable of what each donut contains, as far as fillings, toppings, flavors, etc.
While they only have may 10 different flavors to choose from each day, you really only need one donut a day to fill you up anyway since they’re so filling and sweet. These donuts definitely aren’t like a Dunkin Donuts where you could eat three, eating three of these would put you in a sugar coma and leave a rock in your stomach.
That being said, you’ve got to make a few trips back to try a variety along with a drink from their small coffee menu.

I was a fan of their gourmet doughnuts despite the high price tag. I thought the flavors were creative and executed well. My favorite doughnut I tried was the eggnog (cinnamon glazed with filled with eggnog flavored pudding). I don’t usually like filled doughnuts, but glad I gave this pudding filled treat a try.
For me, the staff working made up for the high prices. There were two kinds of doughnuts on the counter to sample when I arrived. Even after my two samples I asked the woman behind the counter which was her favorite. She raved about the eggnog flavor and sensing my hesitation, she cut one up and gave me a piece to try. With one bite I was sold!
If you’re into the whole doughnut trend (like me), then I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

The staff here is quite attentive which is super great if you are a get in and out type of person. However, they have so many choices that it takes me a while to process what donuts they have on hand. Out of the four donuts I got, the best one was the long john maple bacon. An associate described it as tasting like pancakes and bacon. They have a microwave so you can warm it up. She was on point. It was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend the long john maple bacon and make sure you heat it up. It will just melt in your mouth.
The other three were just okay. I’ll forgo talking about them since it was nothing to swoon about.
