Beacon Pumpkin Spice Donut - Strong pumpkin spice flavor. Tender and crumbly. Maybe a tad too sweet for me 7/10 #CakeDonut #LincolnPark #Chicago #Donuts

Au Levain’s Ginger Glazed Pumpkin Donut - Wanted to like this. Dense as hell, likely from pumpkin purée. Very mild ginger, pumpkin, and pumpkin spice flavors. Too mild? 6/10 #CakeDonut #NorthCenter #Chicago #Donuts

Beacon Oreo Old Fashioned - Super tender and crumbly. Oreo wafer flavor. 8/10 #CakeDonut #LincolnPark #Chicago

Somethin’ Sweet Apple Crisp - On the smaller side, but great crunchy crumb texture and soft interior. Good apple flavor. Maybe had small apple chunks? 9/10 #CakeDonut #AlbanyPark #Chicago
