I've been twice now and agree with the OP. Once to the West Fulton Market location, and once to the one at six corners. Both times I couldn't eat a whole doughnut, nor did I have any desire to. Too heavy, IMHO.
The only thing they got right was the texture of the bacon on the maple bacon bar. The only other one I've had is at Voodoo in PDX, and it featured a piece of limp and practically uncooked bacon. This was much better.

They were raised, and they were too heavy (or dense) for my taste. Not as dense as cake, but still too dense. They were also too big, but that was only because they were so dense.

One of the participating bakeries (Gurnee Donuts) is about 10 minutes from my office.
I am already in donut withdrawal mode!

Is a Paczki a doughnut? I've never had one, but Uber is delivering them tomorrow and I may give it a shot.

Visited Do-Rite Do-Nuts and Chicken on Erie recently and had the cinnamon crunch and the buttermilk old-fashioned. Both were warm and excellent.
Also visited the Glazed and Infused storefront on Hubbard St, and had a old-fashioned which was good but, imo, not as good as the Do-Rite version.

I think Stan's is close to the best in the city. Donut Vault cake donuts are better, but you have to deal with hipster nonsense to get them.
