There are a lot of reasons to be grateful for Fridays and now Ipsento 606 is giving us another.
On Friday, March 31, Ipsento Coffee 606 will be handing out one free doughnut with every purchase while supplies last. They’ll be cranking out the sweet treats until 2 p.m., so don’t dilly-dally.
These cute and snack-sized mini-doughnuts are made from scratch—with a recipe including high-nutrient milled kamut, sweet potatoes and coconut oil—and have finally been perfected after the coffee shop’s opening last summer next to The 606.
After tomorrow’s free doughnut extravaganza, one doughnut will go for $1, $5.50 for a half-dozen, $10 for a dozen and $36 for two dozen and a box of coffee.
Flavors will be rotating starting Friday, with a variety including: cinnamon and sugar, chocolate ganache and pistachio, chocolate and sprinkles, blueberry glaze, chocolate glaze, lemon, and a doughnut inspired by the infamous Ipsento latte with flavors of honey, espresso, coconut and a hint of cayenne.
Ipsento Coffee 606 (1813 N. Milwaukee Ave.) opens at 7 a.m. and is located between the Western and Damen Blue Line stations.
