Great selection. Friendly staff. Not sold out.. Emphasis on the not sold out part so many donut shops these days create fals scarcity or try to run an overly lean operation.. Not Spunkys they make plenty and ate open 24 hours. I love it

I recently saw a TikTok video about this place and OMG it did not disappoint!!! Depending on the hour you visit (it's open 24 hours), you'll find a great variety. The line is long, but totally quick once you are talking to a worker. Donuts are delicious, especially their jelly donuts!!!! TRY THEM!!!!! A dozen runs you about $15 and half a dozen about $8. :)

Donuts are made fresh everyday, they're perfect in my eyes and what I'd call a donut from your dreams! Everyone who works there is super friendly and always has a smile on their face. They have so many flavors that everyone would will walk out happy and excited for the next visit!

It's amazing for 24hrs but also not the best I've had but they are pretty good. I will probably come back here soon. This location is near family so it's convenient and easy to drive up and park. There was no wait and they are friendly.

Best donuts ever! There are so many flavors. I was honestly shocked by how reasonably priced the donuts were. Service was very friendly. My only complaint was as a short person, it was difficult to see all of the flavor options over the counter. They have several booths and tables for you to enjoy your coffee and donuts. Reminds me of a retro diner!

First time coming to this location. I used to go to the Arlington Heights ones back when they were still open. I was in the area and decided to stop by. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by. I got a half a dozen. I got toasted coconut, red velvet, pumpkin, blueberry, and butter crunch. Everything was very delicious!

I had to leave another review for Spunky. I don't live in Palatine anymore so unfortunately I don't get to Spunky as often as I use to. I'm in Chicago so it's a little bit of a commute, but it was someone special's birthday and I wanted to surprise them in the morning with their favorite donuts. I arrived Friday morning at around 8:30 AM, and although they had several flavors available, they unfortunately didn't have the specific one I came for (chocolate iced raised donuts). They told me they wouldn't have any for 2-3 hours and I was just so disappointed because it killed my plan and I knew I wasn't going to be able to make the drive back. Well after going to two more donut shops that were also out of raised donuts, I was going to lose my mind. I desperately gave Spunky a call and asked if I can place an order for pick up, they told me that I can just walk-in and they will have donuts available, but I let them know I don't live locally and I already made the drive in the morning and they didn't have any of the flavor I wanted so I was nervous they'd sell out again. They told me they would put a dozen to the side for me. When I got there the staff was so friendly and the man that helped me on the phone had the biggest smile on his face and told the cashier that I had a far drive so he took care of me. He gave me a free box of four fresh donuts when I purchased the dozen! They were all packed with my name on them ready to go. I wanted to cry happy tears - how trivial to be that stressed about donuts but I just trying to do something thoughtful for someone. The birthday girl was ecstatic and they were some of the freshest Spunky donuts she ever had. They were so pillowy and soft and fluffy and the icing was still slightly damp. Absolutely amazing and 1,000 times worth the second drive. Spunky's customer service is out of this world and they truly care about their customers. Thank you again!

Ever since the Arlington Heights location of Spunky Dunkers closed down, I haven't really had that many chances to come to this location nearly as much as I had hoped. I used to like going to the Arlington Heights location. But in any case, in my recent visit to this Palatine location, I picked up five donuts. Two of those donuts were their classic kind (Apple Crisp and Blueberry), two were from their Showcase Delight special (Bier Mich! and Salzkaramell Brezeln), and one was a maple-bacon donut ring. I really liked their donuts variety and the service was good. It was mid-afternoon on Saturday and they had a good amount of donuts along with their nice variety on hand. More donuts were being made in the kitchen as you could see from the glass window from the shop. As I have had their donuts before, I knew what to expect and there were no exceptions this time. This is one of the best donuts shops around in the suburbs. They make good quality and flavor donuts. Their Blueberry, Bavarian, Coconut, Lemon, Old Fashioned, etc. are among my favorites. It's a popular shop among the locals and they are open 24/7 on top of that. What's not to like? Go Spunky Dunkers! I will be back for more.

Spotted this place on my way to a friend's house in the suburbs, so I decided to stop and pick up a dozen. Spunky is open 24 hours. I haven't seen a 24 hour establishment since the pandemic, so it was definitely exciting. The decor is giving diner vs. donut shop, but it's still cozy nonetheless. There's a large booth for seating, so feel free to grab a donut, a coffee, and dine-in. Service was friendly and efficient. There was somewhat of a line and only one person working behind the counter, but orders were being fulfilled quickly. The donuts were delicious and fresh. I asked for a dozen of their most popular donuts and that did not disappoint. My favorite one was by far the red velvet. I'm normally not a huge fan of this flavor, but the donut was on a whole other level. Highly recommend! FYI - Check-in on Yelp for a 2$ off coupon.

Biiiiiig fan of spunky dunkers. They are open 24/7 and you can count on them to fulfill your donut fix. This is your typical old school small town donut shop. It's cozy, people are constantly coming back and they have solid well crafted donuts. They are not a fancy/unique type of 'olive oil and feta cheese' type of place - they provide all the old school donut vibes and quality. Definitely my favorite place in the area. They recently started having a 3.99% transaction fee so I highly recommend bringing cash to avoid this charge. I've been coming here for 5+ years now and service is consistently excellent. Staff members are nice and don't rush you to pick your donuts.
