Blue Sky Bakery is at 3720 N Lincoln not 13720

I'm excited to see that people are making doughnuts, but four doughnut spots does not a moment make. Keeping fingers crossed for the previously-mentioned Enoch's Doughnuts. Those doughnuts (and those now being served at Nightwood) certainly deserve a mention.

Apologies for the typo in the Blue Sky address. It is corrected.

I can't believe Dat Donut didn't make the list! They make them fresh, and as big as your head!

I went to Blue Sky this last Saturday to check out the riccota doughnuts. Not only didn't they have them, they acted like I was an idiot for asking about them. And when I then asked about an item advertised on their own sign as a "current special," I was told (1) that it wasn't a special and (2) that they were out of it in any event. I'm sure the other bakeries in the article are great (how could they be worse?), but not Blue Sky.
