Al's Donuts

We were on our way out of town & decided to stop at Al's! I had never heard of this shop & was excited as soon as we pulled up. This place looks like a scene out of an old movie. It was absolutely adorable. I did not expect them to have seating, but they did! We were helped by a gentleman that had been there all night preparing donuts & he was so kind! (We were there at 6 am) We grabbed a dozen donuts & I will say I cannot recall the exact donut I tried, but I remember it being delicious. Everyone was impressed by the texture & flavors of the donuts. If you're ever in Plainfield or passing through, this shop is worth a stop!

Under New Management but still handmade and homemade with love! Open Thursday thru Sunday from 3am-11am

Wednesday morning, I was driving in Plainfield in the wee hours of the morning and saw a sign for "Al's Donuts." Being a donut fanatic, what was I to do other than stop in. I rustled up some cash and walked in with enough to get three donuts. I ordered the glazed yeast - as it is the one donut I use to compare all donut shops. For the next two I grabbed the seasonal "Apple Cinnamon" and asked Al to pick my final one - he picked cake with chocolate icing. Glazed seemed okay, but not the best. The Apple Cinnamon was much better and the chocolate cake was out of this world good!For the first time I am ranking a donut shop on a cake donut. So so good that my mouth is still watering :)Notes:I don't think they accept credit cardsThere is parking in the backThere are seats inside if you want to sit

The doughnuts were old and hard, probably won't be back, threw half a dozen away not what I expected from a donut shop

It's been a long while since I've been here. Planning on visiting again. Last time donuts were good, hate paying cash but was worth it at the time.

Al's is a staple is Plainfield. Every time we are there the service is great and the donuts are even better! The same guy is there every time we've been there and he is always so kind. The cinnamon roll is huge and just as delicious! This is definitely a place to visit! We

Best locally owned business in town. They are simple and delicious. The apple spice donut is hands down the best donut I've ever had. And yes, they ARE open. You just gotta get there before 9. The earlier the better. They sell out quick!

First time trying Al's Donuts and it will not be my last! This hidden gem on main street in Plainfield is must try if you love doughnuts! The parking lot is a little scary because it is not well lit, but the second you open your car door you're welcomed by the heavenly smell of fresh baked doughnuts. I tried the Bismarck (their best seller) as well as many other types of doughnuts. All of them were absolutely delicious and had the fresh baked softness! Definitely recommend their jelly doughnut. It was by far my favorite one of what I tried from here. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because it is only open from 230-930 or until they run out of doughnuts. I went around 4am and they were about half out. Another reason for 4 stars is because it is CASH ONLY!! Also:The parking lot is located behind the building, I found it easy to access by turning in at the Dairy Queen next door.

some of the best donuts ive ever had!!! the yeast are amazing. i'm not a fan of cake donuts, but theirs were sooo good. staff is very kind and helpful as well

Despite the recent reviews, my co-worker and I decided to pop in and try out the place. I had the pancake and a glazed donut. Nothing but positive things about that, and the staff was very nice and service was quick. Any time I'm back in Plainfield I'll be stopping in every Thursday and Friday
