Doughnut Vault

Super GemRiver North · Donuts Community-sourced, unverified
📍 401 N Franklin St, Chicago, IL 60654

Doughnut Vault started as an unused closet at Gilt Bar, Hogsalt Hospitality founder Brendan Sodikoff's first restaurant, turned into a doughnut counter almost as an afterthought — and it ended up kicking off a doughnut-shop trend that spread nationally.

The classic old fashioned sells out early most mornings, which tells you everything about how good it actually is.

The tiny River North storefront still sells out within an hour some days, running the classic buttermilk old fashioned alongside inventive weekly specials like a champagne old fashioned or apple-butter-filled version -- the day's flavor gets announced on Instagram each morning, so arrive early or order ahead.

This original storefront now stands alone; a second location on Michigan Ave and a Doughnut Vault food truck have both since closed.
