Customer Reviews

The coffee was decent, but the donuts we tried were just average. The apple fritter was over-fried and tough, and the glazed old fashioned was only half-glazed, which felt a bit careless. The space itself is large with plenty of tables and couches, which could be great for hanging out or getting some work done?but unfortunately, it was not very clean. We had to wipe down our table and seats, and the bathroom garbage was already overflowing by 8:00 AM on a Monday, with toilet paper on the floor. The large fl

I stopped in with my daughter yesterday. We did not have much time so I just got a large black coffee and she got a donut with sprinkles to go. Both were excellent. We didn't stay, but the in house atmosphere seemed very cozy, clean, and lovely. We plan to stop in again next time we are in the area.

I was driving through downtown St. Charles early last week when my eye caught this one of a kind Donut joint and I had to make a stop to check it out. Since this was my first time here, I had to try couple of stuff. With the help of one of the nicest employees Mari, I ended up getting some Donuts and a sandwich to go. The food tasted great. The place was very clean and well kept. I will be going back there again with some friends.

The donuts are good nothing special but very well made! Aside from that the sandwiches are ok but the coffee I would steer clear from, we got an iced coffee that was edible but not enjoyable and a white mocha that was so badly made we just gave it back (they did give us a free water for that). Also service was ok they were friendly but not very attentive or even knowledgeable about they're own products.

Tucked away on 64 in St. Charles, Illinois, the most divine little spot. Fresh, new decor with a nice variety of treats, coffees and sandwiches?.Dimple?s Donuts!!! This spot has gone through quite a few challenges since it?s first opening in 2017 but the rebirth is amazing!! These donuts may look like any other donut but they are on another level of soft, warm sweetness! Try them out!!!

I took my grandchildren there on Valentine?s Day. Even though it was close to 1:00pm the donuts were very fresh. I?ve been looking for the old fashioned buttermilk donut for years. It was wonderful. The kids loved the heart shaped donuts, too.

Excellent donuts, coffee, quick service. Lots of couches, table space, very quiet, got a lot of work done. So glad I didn't go to a national chain!

Best doughnuts ever! Not to mention, they have an awesome dining room to enjoy your donuts and coffee. Highly recommended!

Mari was very nice. 1st timer here. 12/9/23. Called to see if they have Boston Cream type donuts. Yes. So I took the trip over. Upon entering, greeted by a warm, inviting space. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of room available. Mari was so incredibly kind. She thanked me for coming to their store. I ordered 1/2 dozen. She threw in a couple extra. She did not know I was a 1st timer, but what a way to make a good impression and win over customers! Customer service goes a long way. Super kind and the

The lady working here was very sweet. Family friendly seating and atmosphere, they also have events and delicious donuts.

Huge fan of Dimple's Donuts and its owner. Every time I stop in I am greeted with a big smile and a friendly salutation. The establishment is super cute and cozy. The donuts are dangerously delicious, as is their breakfast croissant. I love the coffee as well. Bought a half a dozen donuts for my co-workers...they didn't last long...they were scarfed down in no time. Highly recommended.

I have no idea how this place isn?t rated 5 stars across the board. I went in Nov 6 to buy 4 dozen donuts to take to work for National Donut Day (was on Sunday, Nov 5). They couldn?t have been nicer and the place was clean and very inviting. After getting the donuts, they helped me carry them to my car. Then I got to work and put 12 in the office and 24 in the shop break area (saved 12 for the 2nd shift). I went to grab one around 11a and THEY WERE ALL GONE! Employees asked where I got them at and every on

Wonderful donuts with the BEST vanilla cream filled ever. Blueberry, red velvet ...all of them are so good. The St Chas Location is very welcoming with couches and croissant egg breakfast sandwiches to die for. Run...don't walk...to Dimples!

Dimples has the freshest best donuts! The vanilla Long John has authentic vanilla bean flavor and The Maple Bacon is a must try. They have a nice selection of coffee drinks at a good value. Haven?t tried their smoothies yet, but they look really good too! The service is top tier as well!

Unfortunately my experiences thus far have been not so great. Donuts don't have much flavor other than sugar; red velvet is just sugar Donut and cinnamon roll lacks as well. Also ordered a mocha coffee and I'm not getting much other than the milk from it. I love small businesses, I would maybe try a different drink and maybe one of the other Donuts is better....just haven't found it here yet.

On a scale of 1 to 10, friendliness, 10 cleanliness, 10, variety of donuts 4, variety of sandwiches, 5 although I did not try the sandwiches they did look good. The donuts themselves I give a 4 they were fresh. nothing special. Better than Dunkin donut but not as good as country donuts.

I purchased the donuts for someone else who said they were fresh and tasted great (I never eat donuts). The service was very good and friendly.

Yummy donuts! Unique options to choose from. So good!!

I've been back to this place a few times now over the last month. Service is always excellent, donuts are delicious, and the sot-down space is very inviting. If you're looking for a place to enjoy a coffee and donut and chat with friends or family, this is the spot.

I could smell this place from the street.... Sweet, delicious donuts.... Decided to stop here on my way home from my half day at work and got my husband a little treat. I couldn't stop myself from eating half of his donut on my way home :D I plan on coming back to get donuts for my coworkers. It'll make me look good!

I entered the store with my 2 children and I was Promptly asked to take a seat and wait. There is a group of 3 other customers sitting at the table also waiting. The customers told me that the worker was not there and should be returning. They Had already been waiting for 15-20 minutes. I figured she would have to be back soon so I walked up to their display to pick donuts with my 2 Kids. I was told to sit down I said "no I'm picking out my donuts with my kids." Then the woman bagged up my 3 donuts bu

Stopped by this morning to try it out. I love donuts and have strong opinions about them. Dimple Donuts has fresh made in house donuts. I really like the Apple fritter, just wish it was a little bit bigger. They also have excellent old fashioned/buttermilk donuts and a very good jelly donut. I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely amazing donuts and staff! Nary helped us out today in the middle of a blizzard and made our day at work so much better! Super friendly and will absolutely be going back!

Bought two old fashioned glaze donuts for takeout. Mediocre for an old fashion. One didn?t have glazing which I didn?t know till I got home.

I rarely give poor ratings. I was so excited to see this cute looking donut place open up here. Privately owned donut shops that are alternatives to typical grocery store, bakery or dunkin donuts are not very common. So I was excited. I walked in and the place was half done being completed, empty rooms with tables just scattered about. All despite being open for a while now. Their menu is incorrect, the 'apple fritter' was not good and the donuts were not very special. I may come back here someday to

Love this donut shop, always a good experience every time I go in! Such a lovely front desk and she makes the best coffees! Highly recommend coming in!

Tldr: go down the street for better donuts and coffee. The owner has not given Kathy the tools she needs to adequately run this location. She was the only one working a Sunday morning so the line would come to a standstill if someone asked for more than donuts. The donuts were disappointing. They taste like the fry oil hadn't been changed recently. The coffee is weak. And they don't have much(any) of the advirtised smoothie and tapioca. Overall, will not return

I stopped by for the first time and the clerk was very friendly. I had a coffee and bought my grandson a yummy strawberry donut. I noticed there were some extras in the bag. How sweet! Yep, I?ll be back when a craving calls for the kids.??

Been driving past this for a few weeks and finally had a chance to stop. Verdict: it was alright, but rather disappointing, certainly nothing to shout about. We had a buttermilk old-fashioned donut, a standard chocolate frosted cake donut, and an apple fritter. Everything tasted similar to the fare in other local shops--they were too sweet, had a gummy texture, and seemed to be made from a packaged mix of some sort. They were better than Dunkin, of course--but no great honor that, given how DD has gone

Glad I went here on a whim. Amy made the day and could not have asked for better vanilla cream filled donut. Will be back hopefully soon.

Great doughnuts and coffee. The woman working was very kind and just a fun person to talk with.

Good donuts but half of what they carry are special priced and not part of half or full dozen price. Basically you can buy cake or raised donuts only

Such sweet employees. I went in for donuts for my nephews birthday and they all looked so good. Yummy donuts, wonderful service!

I am always excited to try a locally owned coffee shop, but immediately encountered rude staff and was made aware of a 69? credit card fee after my order was fulfilled. Granted there is a ?sign? but it is incredibly small and laminated to the surface of the counter. The sign also notes an automatic 69? ?discount? if you pay with cash. This is also not true. This would be your normal total less the fee you would pay if you were to pay with a credit card. Passing credit card fees through to your guests is not

Love this place! All the staff is very friendly and the doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches are great!

It was busy, however the line was not moving very quickly. There were 3 people working but when I got up to the front I just stood there. One person was doing coffee and two were in the back. The line was all the way around the front of the store. The donuts were not labeled so I really didnt know what they had to offer. I also did not seem to think they tasted any different than elsewhere. Kind of disappointing first trip there.

They've been voted the Best Donuts in Kane County--for good reason. And the friendliest people behind the counter. They always make me smile!

Hard to start up a donut shop in st charles with the competition from close by incumbent Bosa Donuts. The donuts aren't as good (I tried an old fashioned chocolate, a glazed french crueller, and the donut holes) possibly due to being baked offsite in batavia, although they are still hand made so theyll beat anything youll find at a dunkin donuts or walmart forsure. But where they lack in the donut competition, they make up for in ambiance and menu selection. Along with the donuts I also tried a San Francisc

The original Batavia store has a good following and service. This one not so much. As I was getting out of my car to get donuts for our office there was a mom unbuckling her little kids. Went to the door only to find they are closed. As I was returning to my car saw the mom finally ready to take her kids inside and had to break the bad news to her so she could load them back in and find another place. I instead went to Panera less than a mile east. Passed 3 other donut shops along the way. Go to Bosa

We went in an hour before closing and the signs displayed for the donuts left were labeled wrong, so when we chose our donuts and asked for them we were told they were out. It?s not that hard to make sure the donuts still available have their correct labels, especially when the place is dead. The coffee was super old and bitter tasting and the donuts were nothing exciting, chocolate glaze was all sugar and the donuts undercooked. The woman working there seemed peeved to have customers more than anything, li

The lady that runs this location is so sweet..so kind. If you need to start your day off with a nice smile, nice conversation and yummy donuts...this is the place. #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness

Blueberry donut was good. Owner is friendly and generous. Sausage croissant is my dad's favorite.

I should have took photos of my donuts but I ate them on my break & my husband ate the rest.Dimple Donuts is a cozy donut shop with lots of delicious selection. If I work another picture day in the area, I know where to go again...??

Great donuts and this location is open until late afternoon. The space is larger with more menu offerings for lunch and beverages. The donuts are delicious, a simple glazed donut is done very well.

I had heard about dimples donuts and decided to walk the mile plus distance one Sunday morning. Though the hours on the sign red they should be open. The place was dark. I won't waste my time going there Again.

They have the best buttermilk donuts. Super friendly, nice place. Sandwiches look so good

I ordered an iced coffee and she made espresso and put it in a glass of almond milk?and still referred to it as iced coffee. The coffee was not great either- we got a hot coffee, as well and it was watered down. This is also in some sort of church, so overall just odd.

Tiny little sign on the surface of the counter says they charge a surcharge for non-cash purchases. 70? sounds like nothing, but that's 10% on coffee-and-a-doughnut purchase. That should be posted where one can see it while ordering, not in small print where you see it after they've made your coffee.

Horrid place always has no donuts and you might as well quit your job to make a conscious effort to try and get a donut before they either sell out or randomly close whenever they feel like it I?m very disappointed and my kid cried for hours because he got no donut truly a shame

Best donuts in the fox valley! Great selection of traditional, cake donuts, old fashioned, fritters and more.

Great donuts ... Open late (8pm) and have Caribou Coffee a great change from the typical Starbucks which I personally do that like. Staff is friendly and offer great suggestions.

Donuts are delicious and loved the energy and kindness of the woman working the counter, wish I got her name!

This location just opened. Staff is super friendly and donuts were pretty good. Can?t wait for more of a selection.

1st mocha cold and taste very bad. Asked for another, Very hot and taste very bad. Ask for just a regular coffee. No offer For a refund or exchange for the difference. I will not be back

They seriously have the best donuts I have ever had. A million times better than Dunkin Donuts. And, they even have Caribou Coffee!

Awesome Donuts, I love the apple fritters. Friendly, fast and cozy place to hang out.

Online hours says open till 3pm, hours posted in the window says open till 2pm. Store was shut down at 12:55pm. Get your hours posted correctly.

Super friendly staff always going the extra step to please. Best donut place in the Fox Valley area!

Much better quality donuts than your average donut shop? old fashioned buttermilk and maple bacon are ??????

Tasty donuts! They were out of coffee when we were there but they took care of our wait by giving us some free donut holes (yum!).

Stopped in for the first time today. Very friendly staff and the donuts were amazing

Great local donut shop. Their donuts are excellent, and the coffee is always fresh. I highly recommend Dimples.

This is such a nice place to come to with exceptional service and food. The owner is always super energetic and nice every time I come in.

Great donuts coffee and breakfast sandwiches!!! Very clean and and if your lucky enough to meet Nary the owner she is a sweetheart!

They are always so friendly and personable and their breakfast sandwiches and donuts are flavorful.

You can really taste that donuts are made fresh. The strawberry banana smoothie was yummy as well.

They really do the donuts and coffee right here. The staff are very friendly. The decor is great.

they are open and this place is really good spot for coffee ! definitely coming back !! great jobs guys

Wonderful service, amazing donuts! I?m so glad I stopped in. I can?t wait to try their Boba Tea!

Best donuts ever.. try the old fashioned. It is amazing. And the Bobo tea, with fresh tapioca! Love it!!!!

Fantastic, homemade quality with a personal touch and a reasonable price!

What a cute & surprisingly fun atmosphere. The donuts & coffee were great too.

Brought daughter for a morning donut and was surprised that we got to play air hockey for 30 min while we ate our donughts, which were excellent!

Good donuts. They carry Caribou coffee which is awesome. The service is a bit slow.

Very friendly staff and great fast coffee and food especially the apple fritters

1 star because they are NEVER open at this location. They don?t hold true to their posted hours which are already too narrow. Go to the Batavia location

Good donuts, but pricing is too high. Service less than welcoming.

Picked up a dozen donuts for work. They were delicious. My co-workers finished them off in no time.

Just had lunch there, the dimple special sandwich and a latte, all very tasty. Very nice clean open atmosphere

Super friendly staff!! Delicious donuts!

they don't pay their bills and refuse to discuss it at all. will need to file suit.

I tried these donuts. I may have chosen the wrong ones. I just was not impressed. I must be missing something, because, I know other people like them .

Great donuts, owner is so nice!

SHE SALES 3 DAYS OLD DONUTS AT HER STORE AND HAS THE AUDACITY TO BRAG ABOUT IT WITH HER WORKERS!! WATCH OUT FOR FOOD POISONING!!

Really great donuts. The kids enjoyed playing air hockey in the side room

Friendly, warm environment. Great food and drinks

Very Friendly! Bubble Tea! Good sandwich, more than just doughnuts.

Whatever you do, don't get specialty coffees. The girls at the counter have ZERO knowledge of how to make it!
