Doughnut Vault Chicago

The Doughnut Vault was one of my favorite "finds" on my recent visit to Chicago. The tiny little shop with the big doughnuts did not disappoint! Located near Merchandise Mart, The Doughnut Vault is easy to get to from the Merchandise Mart Brown Line stop.

Cash only.

Inside the "Vault".

I recommend following The Doughnut Vault on Twitter. They update their followers on the status of what's left in stock and how many people are waiting in line. The day I visited, I was in line for about 10 minutes. I took advantage of my time in line and shot some photos!

Selection of the day.

This photo of the doughnuts does not do them justice. That big guy down in front... the Chestnut glazed deliciousness.... was my favorite. Just get one of everything they have and try each one. Trust me. You can share with your co-workers. Or not.

Hot coffee!

Friendly service! 

Find The Doughnut Vault on Facebook.  Also, check out this great video!

Be prepared to wait in line. Once they sell out, they close up shop!
