Roll-N-Donut

Well new owners have done what happens. They cut corners. The donuts most often taste a day old. The chocolate icing not the correct recipe tastes cheap and watered down not thick and rich. I won’t be back and the other47 people that work at the Same office won’t either. It’s said to see such a fine business go to trash. At this point Dunkin Donuts are better and that would have not even been a comparison in the past. No fritters obviously to much work or costly maybe both. So sad. I grew up on those donuts and they are gone but not forgotten.

Great tasting donuts. They taste very fresh. The blueberry fritter is delicious. Previous reviews are correct, if you wait too late in the day, they are out of some donuts. Free WiFi.

Usually if you want stellar donuts you need to travel to the City, but Roll-​N-​Donuts definitely delivers on their delicious promise! We found this place by simply surfing the internet for a good bakery in the Bartlett/​Elgin area. The staff is very nice and I love the fact that it’s kind of a hidden gem. Super fresh donuts and goodies. Absolutely my favorite donut place in the burbs!

Still consistently good but beware they’re usually so popular that they are out of stock on most donuts by 10am on Fri, SAT SUN… been trying to catch some cronuts without luck the last 2 weekends

I just love this little donut shop in East Dundee. The family that works there is so friendly, and everything I’ve ever had to eat here is delicious. We have tried several different items– bear claw, apple fritter (which are both very large– too big for me to finish in one sitting), boston cream, plain glazed, and my personal favorite– the cronut. I am sad that cronuts are a weekend only special– but I would make a special trip out here to get them every time. The inside is small (like most donut shops) but clean, and they have always had a wide variety of donuts available when I’ve gone inside. They also have a drive thru window if that is more your speed. I am not a coffee drinker– so I can’t comment on that other donut shop staple– but everything about the donuts is delicious. They are very reasonably priced! Highly recommend!

Overall, RnD’s donuts are just slightly on the sugary side. Now that that’s out of the way…
The plain was soft, slightly less on the sugary scale, nothing exciting, but good for dunking in a hot beverage.
The sour cream cake was good. Good glaze, the sour crème flavor was very noticeable, but not overpowering by any means.
Apple cinnamon cake was REALLY good. The dough was saturated with flavor and coupled with the texture and sweetness makes for a really intense eating experience. RECOMMENDED
The glazed donuts were surprising good. The glaze is profiled well, and with the texture of the yeast and the mild sweetness, they combine for a simply delicious treat.
I’m not an expert on cronuts and their kin, so I can’t say to well where it falls. As far as deep-​fried delicacies, it was «meh.»

As other have said, Sour Crème donuts are killer. Everything I’ve had has been great.

What a hidden surprise. Fresh and made here. A step back in time, with that comfortable old doughnut shop feel. Light in the mouth doughnuts as well as heavier cake ones too. Coffee is strong without being bitter.

The best doughnuts I’ve ever had. No others can compare and I outright refuse to eat doughnuts from any other place. Roll-​N-​Donut has somehow figured out how to make the perfect doughnuts. I always pick some up for my coworkers before work on Saturday’s and they’re always a hit. The sour cream glaze doughnuts are my favorite, but every other kind I’ve had is just as delicious. They’re honestly the perfect pick me ups for a person like me who hates waking up in the mornings.

So much better than Dunkin’ Donuts and they always seem to have apple cider and red velvet donuts!

Better than Dunkin Donuts! It’s a nice little place where you can grab a donut and coffee for a couple bucks. I’ve also had their breakfast sandwiches and was very happy with them. The donuts are always fresh – but go early in the day, when they sell out for the day, they are gone!

Best doughnuts ever. My fave is the butternut doughnut. Everyone I take here is an absolute fan! I was so nervous that the dunkin doughnut that opened next door was going to steal all their business but I am pleased to see that everyone knows there is absolutely no comparison. Hands down best laid back place in town for coffee and a doughnut. Love the owners too.

Shhhhhhh. Roll-​n-​donut is a top secret joint for townies only. This place has been around in Elgin probably longer than Elgin has been here. And no matter who owns the place, the donuts are top notch. I never liked cake donuts until I ate one from this place. They have every kind of donut you could want. Sure they have a drive-​thru but you are missing the bigger picture. And that is the variety that they offer up! Off the wall stuff too! I was in today and saw a cherry cake donut. A what? A cherry cake donut! Make the time, go in, peruse the goods, and make your selection accordingly. They do not make a bad anything here.
The current owners are wonderful, wonderful people. They have been serving my family for a few years now and have been very accommodating to some very particular request of certain family members. I can’t begin to express my gratitude for their kindness and patience.
The Joint: Totally old school. We are talking 40’s-50’s diner. This adds to the mystic that is Roll-​N-​Donut. Very clean and well kept. Usually an old guy sitting at the counter reading the paper and drinking his cuppa joe, no matter the time of day. Has a drive thru as mentioned but you are losing out if you use it.
Recommendation: Sour Cream Donuts are THE BEST! But I haven’t had anything I here that i didn’t like.
Requests: If you go here and you like, tell others (townies only). They deserve our business. If you have to tell outsiders, i guess that’s up to you but that means all the donuts will be gone when YOU get there…

Indeed great donuts — remember to check the glass case and the racks in the back. Lots of parking and convenient on and off the expressway. Great size and quality.

Delicious does not even begin to describe this place! After driving past it every week for the past two years, we finally decided to stop in based off of the other Unilocalers reviews! The donuts were amazing and unbelievably fresh. Honestly the best donuts I have ever eaten!

Went to Roll N Donut’s for the first time this morning and I have to say (THERE AWESOME)!!! Red Velvet looks bloody but owe sooo good. Bear claw and German chocolate were very good. Will defiantly be back…

Stopped in for the second time again this morning around 8 am. Had a red velvet donut which was AMAZING. Their chocolate crème filled donut is really delicious too. A really great price for high quality donuts! Employees were super nice too!

Get here early!
A friend and I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon and they were already out of red velvet, which was the donut I most wanted to try! :(
Instead I went with a chocolate cake donut and a crème-​filled donut. Both were fantastic and super fresh. Service was great, and prices are cheap. I’d definitely go back!

With Roll-​N-​Donut around, I can’t figure out how Dunkin Donuts stays in business other than by pure marketing.
The donuts here are A-​MAZE-​ING! Always fresh, always tasty! Whenever I get my donut cravings (way too often, if you ask my doctor) I run over here.
My favorites are the sour cream and their double chocolate — my daughter loves their strawberry donuts.
No matter what you pick, you’ll love them…

What a cute name! And delicious doughnuts to boot!
I was a bit skeptical when my friend said he was bringing me doughnuts from Roll-​N-​Donut because of other reviews. I’m glad he did though because I found them fantastic!
The cake in the doughnuts was extremely tasty and soft, especially the double chocolate doughnut. The frosting was delectable and sweet, an amazing chocolate taste.
The doughnuts were fresh and flavorful, I’d be a happy girl if I got Roll-​N-​Donuts from a friend again. ;)
