Royal Donut

Crema's Take
“This no-frills donut shop in Champaign takes pride in their lard-fried donuts that earn passionate defenders among visitors who appreciate the traditional, unpretentious approach. They pair those substantial donuts with Mad Goat coffee, making it an ideal stop for folks who want real, satisfying pastries without the fancy fuss—though maybe grab some napkins on your own to keep the frosting pristine.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Definitely do not let the reviews fool you, these donuts are legit. The staff was friendly, service was very fast, and the donuts were awesome. My wife is not a fan of donuts and she loved hers. They were so good that I completely forgot to take a picture and they were gone…
Disgusting donuts. The flavor lingers in your mouth like the smell of wet dog. I was genuinely excited to have donuts fried in lard. I regularly use lard, beef tallow and bacon fat in my cooking at home. I’m not an entitled vegetarian. I have donuts every weekend with my family…

Didn't try the doughnuts since they use lard, but they sure did look good. My significant other said they were good, particularly because they weren't too fancy. They serve Mad Goat coffee, so that was a nice surprise. 😊 The shop is organized and smells very good. Prices are so…
My experience there was excellent. The donuts ans coffee were very tasty. The only issue was that they put napkins in the bag such that they got all over the frosting of the donuts, making those napkins unusable.
