Matcha, Voodoo and Do-Rite: A West Loop Donut Walk
A guided West Loop walk with tastings at Do-Rite, a matcha café, Voodoo Doughnut and Sawada Coffee, where the donuts come from Doughnut Vault.
This is a dessert walk through the West Loop with a guide who talks history between bites. The booking listing and the operator's own page describe the same route: Do-Rite Donuts first, then a matcha café, then Voodoo Doughnut on Randolph Street, and a final stop at Sawada Coffee.
The tastings at each stop are part of the ticket, and the walk is guided the whole way. The listing and the operator frame the stories around the neighborhood's turn from the industrial backbone of the city to one of its hottest places to eat.
The operator's advice is to bring an appetite, since there are plenty of donuts for everyone.
Booking runs through the listing below. One booking takes up to fifteen travelers, and the listing prices children aged 1 to 10 separately from guests aged 11 to 99. An adult has to be on every booking.

The listing lays the walk out in four parts. About twenty minutes at Do-Rite Donuts, around half an hour walking the West Loop and Restaurant Row, about twenty minutes at Voodoo Doughnut, and about twenty minutes at Sawada Coffee. The matcha café sits in the middle of that walk in both the listing's description and the operator's page.
The listing puts the whole outing at 90 minutes to two hours, and the operator calls it a two-hour tour. Do-Rite also makes a fried chicken sandwich, which the listing suggests saving for after the tour.
A Matcha Café, a Portland Import and a Latte Artist's Counter
The operator calls the second stop Matcha-Cita, a hidden-gem café built for a photo, with matcha-infused treats. Voodoo Doughnut is the Portland transplant on the route, and the operator itself calls its stylings over the top and somewhat risqué.
The last stretch runs through an old brick alley with floral street art before it comes out at Sawada Coffee. The operator says Sawada belongs to latte artist Hiroshi Sawada. The donuts served at Sawada come from Doughnut Vault, a separate Chicago shop.
The Walk Ends at a Different Door
The tour does not come back to Do-Rite. It finishes at Sawada Coffee on North Green Street, which shares space with Green Street Smoked Meats if you want barbecue afterward.
The operator says its tours run roughly one and a half to two miles at a leisurely pace, and that most routes can be walked end to end in about thirty minutes. If you drive, note where you parked. The listing recommends public transit, and Do-Rite sits beside the Morgan Street station on the Green and Pink lines.
Timing, Weather, Allergies and Access
Departures are at 9 AM and noon. Checked on November 3, 2026, both the booking listing and the operator's own calendar skip Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
The operator waits ten minutes after the hour before it starts. Running later than that, call the operator so the group can meet you at the second stop. The tour runs outdoors all year, and the operator says it cancels when the weather poses a danger, such as thunderstorms, hail or extreme heat or cold, or at its own discretion. Dress for the day.
Food allergies need to reach the operator ahead of time. Its FAQ says gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian swaps are possible in most cities, though not every one. The listing marks the walk wheelchair accessible and also says it is not recommended for anyone who cannot walk and stand for two hours at a time. The operator's FAQ says access can change with the season and street construction and invites a call for current details. Gratuities are not included. Cancel at least 24 hours before departure for a full refund.
📍 The group meets at Do-Rite Donuts & Chicken, 181 N Morgan Street. Depending on the weather, the guide waits inside the shop or out front, wearing a donut tour hat or shirt.
From there it is four sweet stops in a couple of hours, and a short walk out of a brick alley with floral street art to a cup at Sawada.
