Daddy Donuts

I really like this place, I would go here before going to Dunkin any day of the week. Have a great selection of donuts my only negative comment is that the coffee isn’t the best. There is Wi-​Fi and plenty of room to sit. The place is clean.

I love this place. Great doughnuts done by friendly people. I’m a doughnut lover and I’ve been to all the south suburban spots. Daddy Donuts is the best around. I grade my Boston Crème doughnuts on the bottom crust and this one is spot on. The sour cream old fashion is amazing. We tried the maple bacon this time and WOW was it good. A full dozen is less than $ 12. I can’t recommend this place enough. The only downer is the location is a bit depressed. I really hope they expand to Frankfort and Orland Park.

The red velvet donut is out of this world. So so so good.

This place has redeemed itself from when it first re-​opened after the first owner/​baker passed away. Definitely the best place to go for donuts in the south suburbs!!!

I love their donuts. It’s really hard to find places that are not just your average run of the mill 0lace. They definitely are NOT that. My favorite donut is a simple glaze and us often imes messed up by a nasty thick donut or a thick glaze. They offer neither at this place. It’s flaky and thin but sweet. Just like I like it.

I was so happy when I found out that Daddy donuts reopened. My sister and I love these donuts… Although I live right down the street, my sister is a city dweller and would drive the miles to get these donuts and then drive the few minutes to my house to share them with me. Our favorites were the apple fritters. When I drove by and saw that they were reopened, I texted sister. She came out the same day. We tried the apple fritter and we were very disappointed. Not only were they smaller, but they were tasteless and greasy. We also tried some cake donuts… they were small and they just were not daddy O’s. I’m really sad to see them go. When you’ve had the best, nothing else will do.

AMAZING! It’s dangerous to have this place less than a mile away from my house! Try the Apple Fritter…3−4 people can eat just one of thier monstrous Fritters!

*Donuts for $ 1, WIN
*Their donut bags are adorable. They read «You deserve a donut» which is the motto I live by
*Freshly made donuts that are soft and chewy. There’s a good variety along with cinnamon rolls and apple fritters for those who don’t want donuts. I tried the Boston Crème and it was pretty good.
*Note: They have a $ 3 minimum to use credit cards
*Ample parking spaces in the lot

Wow! My co-​worker brought them into work yesterday and they are amazing. I had the boston crème donut. Everything about it was out of this world.

So nice to get a fresh donuts for a buck, no hype needed here just delicious donuts.

My friend raves about Daddyo’s. One day he finally brought me 4 donuts — red velvet, blueberry, glazed and chocolate. OMG. They are delicious. The red velvet, blueberry and chocolate were all a major step above anywhere else. The glazed was on point with most places. I cannot wait to go back and get red velvet with cream cheese frosting and see what else is on the menu!

Red velvet cake was fantastic ! Donuts are the best I’ve ever tasted ! Very clean cute place

My brother tried this place out and brought over a dozen assortments of donuts. We had the boston crème (amazing), the red velvet, german chocolate, jelly-​filled, krinkle, and plain. Much more quality put into these donuts than the Dunkin Donuts down the street. Plus, you have got to try their actual Red Velvet Cake slices in the plastic container… sheer goodness!
The carrot cake is not that bad either. Get your sweet tooth on.

The Red Velvet Donut with Crème Cheese Frosting!!! EVERYTHING! I LOVE Red Velvet (especially when it tastes right)! This donut is out of sight DINOMITE!!! Please check this place out! Friendly service with GREAT donuts!!!

Drove all the way from Romeoville to check them out. My wife, kids and I visited after leaving the funeral of a family friend. It was 3 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, they only had 3 to 4 selections to choose from (as a future restaurant owner I understand that is a good problem to have) we tasted their strawberry and chocolate and powder sugar varieties (as that was all they had on the racks). Good solid donuts with a crisp outer layer and yummy moist center.
The only negative was that we were unable to sample the real reason we decided to make the trek, their red velvet and the many other selections we saw on Unilocal… Oh well I guess gas prices may drop again :-(

Holy old fashion donuts! Best I’ve ever had, and that includes Donut Vault and Do-​Rite. Crazy low prices for the quality. We (2 adults and child) bought a dozen and sampled the menu, then froze the cut pieces in case of an emergency. Not a bad one in the bunch.

BEST donuts ever!!! We’ve tried many of those new «gourmet» donut shops… they’ve got NOTHING on Daddy O’s. These donuts are simple and good. We drive out of our way to go here and it’s so worth it. Try it and you won’t be disappointed.

SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!
(Man, I really hate that expression. But I digress…)
STOP THE CAR!
(Okay, that’s a *little* better, I guess. :)
However you’d like to slice it, if you can get down with the donuts (doughnuts?), you need a south side adventure in your life. And soooooon.
Admittedly, I’m not nuts about donuts (see what I did there?). Don’t get me wrong: they are, in fact, delicious pillows of goodness. But that being said, I – yours truly with her insatiable sweet tooth to end all sweet teeth – never wake up in the night craving them or anything. And my husband, a loyal DD coffee drinker, never has to snag «just one» donut for wifey or anything of that nature. I just… don’t feel the drive to love on them like so many other people do. But that being said, I still appreciate a good ‘nut time and time again.
Apparently, the time to enjoy said ‘nut was, well, yesterday. And omfgoodness, did I EVER enjoy said pillow of perfection.
We promised the kids donuts on Friday morning. Instead of making it easy on ourselves and going someplace fast and local, we decided to embark upon A Quest of Deliciousness. A quick search (thanks, Unilocal friends!) led us to this little donut joint in Richton Park. As I was reading the reviews, I saw the words «red velvet donut» and my pulse began to quicken.
Oh, yes… you did, in fact, read that correctly: red + velvet + donut. Two options: one frosted with a cream cheese icing. The other? Glazed.
We went in and our hopes were semi-dashed…no red velvets to be found. But! Fear not! Red velvets were slated to be created a bit later in the day. We bought six chocolate (assorted) donuts for the kids and vowed to come back the very same day to get our dirty, grubby paws on red velvety goodness. (Btw? Six donuts with tax = $ 6.00 and they are generously sized donuts to boot. Oh, and PS – credit cards are accepted for orders over $ 5.00.)
Later in the day, we returned to Daddy O’s again and left with four red velvets to add to our six chocolates. We opted for two with cream cheese icing and two with just the glaze. Last night., we held a donut tasting party with the kids and yeah, it was basically EPIC. And I mean, like, EPIC epic. In short, we purchased eight varieties and every single tasting brought about moans of sugary pleasure. I’m not kidding when I say there wasn’t a single dud in the bunch. I mean it… start to finish, these were the best donuts in the world. Possibly in the universe. And if you even semi-​appreciate red velvet anything, you will basically want to marry the front door to the building just so you can have easy access any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Five stars all the way, but if I could add a sixth out of principle for the red velvet donuts, I most certainly would.

O, Daddy! O, Donuts!
There are a lot of lousy donuts out there; some are sold in boxes in supermarkets and some in chains but overall many donuts are uninspired rings of stale.
Daddy O’s Donuts will make you a donut believer and keep you coming back for more. My daughter spotted this delicious donut supplier when we were driving to the Aqua Center in the summer. I loved them but wanted to try them again in the coolness of the fall and make sure this was not just summer lovin’ had me a blast.
I drove over on Sunday and selected a box of goodies to share with family. I chose a glazed for myself because it is the gold standard of donuts plus a red velvet. The glazed was the chewy kind of glazed, normally I prefer the melt in your mouth airy kind of glazed donut. Just like in the summer, this robust donut and superb glaze were perfect. The red velvet came through also — it is a cake donut but such delicious cake it is with a cream cheese frosting.
These donuts will make you glad you live on the south side! They are fabulous and worth every sugary calorie. Lucky for me, it is about a 20 minute drive or I might be packing on too many of these fabulous calories.
Daddy O — your donuts are delightfully delicious!

I have been spending quite a bit of time at the pool this summer and one day on my way there I spotted Daddy O’s Donuts along Sauk Trail. I couldn’t believe there was a donut shop we hadn’t checked out. Clearly I had been laying down on the job. I had enough restraint to not cut across lanes of traffic to immediately get my fix, but I did tuck the idea away for a future treat.
A couple weeks later on our way to the pool, my mom and I stopped in. It smelled wonderful and I wanted one of everything. I again practiced restraint and settled on one glazed and one red velvet. Eating for two means two donuts, yes? They were stupendous! The glazed donut was hefty but still melted in my mouth and it wasn’t over glazed. The red velvet was also delicious; the cream cheese frosting was perfect. I washed it all down with an ice cold carton of milk and I was grinning from ear to ear.
We then proceeded to the pool and I foolishly thought I could still do laps. Hello! I just ate two donuts pre-​swim. What was I thinking??? I attempted a few laps, but I could barely get my head out of the water to breathe and ended up swallowing a bit too much pool water. It was much safer to just lounge on the deck that day and work on my tan.
Believe me, the donut coma was totally worth it, but next time I am stopping in post-​swim — and probably pre-​nap.
