Cynthia LinAugust 31, 2016Super cute hole in the wall donut shop held within a car wash. Cake donuts are a little too dense, but the concept and flavors are creative! Super strong flavor in the green tea donut.
Untapped CitiesAugust 29, 2017Everything is made from scratch and donuts are slightly smaller than your average ones, with flavors ranging from Coco Raspberry to Maple Waffle, Strawberries, Oats, and Banana Milk. Read more
Scott FranklinDecember 15, 2014What a great little secret! The doughnuts here are just as good or better than any you've had before. The service is the kind of friendly you want to start your day with. Try the brown butter.
Chris CooksonAugust 24, 2015it's a weird space nested within a Car Wash by the Intrepid but man, it's really good! lots of great cheap varieties of fresh donuts. I'm partial to the maple donut with a stroopwafel cookie on top!
Adrian PhillipsFebruary 4, 2016If you walk into a car wash you're actually in the right place. Cakey donuts with a light, crunchy outer crust. The brown butter and mocha donuts are quite tasty. Coffee is good too.
jessica m. hintermeisterJanuary 17, 2015why a carwash? former Chanterelle sous chef Scott Levine's father-in-law = one of the owners & there was space in the passageway opposite the car-wash tunnel to install a Belshaw Adamatic Donut Robot!
CorinneFebruary 15, 2015Everything is good! They only had coconut lime, a chocolate, and the brown butter (it was 3pm) but all three were everything you want in a cake donut. Don't miss!
Brooklyn Roasting Co. coffee and some seriously impressive Brown Butter donuts are a highly welcome addition to the Far West Side. Definitely give it a shot before the summer lines become unbearable
SusumuAugust 28, 2017When I got here, only available option was a strawberry doughnut($3.25), but didn't disappoint me. It was good! Wanna come back for other unique doughnuts.
Josh AFebruary 9, 2016Definitely worth a visit. It's hidden inside an actual car wash but the donuts were solid. Most were cake donuts. We all preferred Doughnut Plant though. Very little seating.
John ASeptember 5, 2016Donut & coffee shop inside the car wash across from the Intrepid. Donuts are denser and cake-ier than Dunkin. Flavors are good, lavender can overpower but this is subtle. Coffee is passable.
Jennifer CAugust 16, 2015The WAFFLE DONUT!! A lovely gentlemen from the car wash offered me a brown sugar waffle donut because I arrived after closing and it was DELICIOUS!!!- drew tarvinMay 11, 2015Yes, it's quite a walk to 12th ave. And yes, the donut shop is inside a car wash. And and yes, it worth it for that sweet maple donut.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantDecember 27, 2014LOVE this place. Such a quirky idea - artisanal donuts and great coffee in a car wash.
Miguel SMarch 3, 2015Great service and delicious, uncommon glazed and old fashioned donuts. Try a variety!
Jen ShinMarch 2, 2015maple waffle doughnut! definitely need to come back to try the rest of the flavors.
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015The traditional cinnamon is amazing. So is the lavender glaze. Don't get the tahini / sesame donut.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019This place is located in a car wash but is actually a great spot for donuts! Try the car wash donut if available.
Amanda TheilerFebruary 26, 2015$1.50-$2.50 donuts. oh. my. god. they are good. recommended: dark chocolate, brown butter, maple waffle. skip the sugared ones.
Sandra BaezJune 11, 2015Don't let the location steer you away.. maple waffle donut was pretty solid! Nom nom nom!
Liz ZaleAugust 13, 2016Try the cinnamon donut, they make it fresh right in front of you. AMAZING!!!!
John SourbeerMarch 7, 2015Awesome donuts and worth the trek to the far west side. Coffee is just ok.
Will BudreauJune 11, 2015Counter woman recommends the "Carwash" glazed with hint o' lavender. Which must be why it was sold out
Alden CatesAugust 8, 2016Enter like you're going into the carwash. Donuts are okay, maybe a 7/10 score.
Patrick BaskinJanuary 19, 2016Only cool thing is it's in a car wash, but donuts are just simply fried + sugared, not worth the trip
Aleksey NiOctober 23, 2017Пончик и авианосец. Кафе возле мойки, на дороге. Посидеть негде, но пончик "brown butter" вкусный
