(wish I could give 5!)
Of all my donut spots around the country (and world), to
date, my absolute favorite is right in my backyard! And I don’t mean Dunkin Donuts. Joe Donut opened in Glenview, Illinois (a
mere eight miles from where we live) in mid-January 2017. Our first visit was on Inauguration Day, 2017
(a day that will live in infamy) and, I must say, that visit was the highlight
of the day (though I acknowledge the bar was rather low).
Joe Donut is a tiny store—no seating and room for a line of
perhaps 8 adults and 2 children. They
open at 5:30 am each morning and presumably close at 3 or when they
sell out if sooner (and they always sell out)!
The donuts are small batch, hand-crafted and exquisite (coffee is also
great). What differentiates Joe from
others is that they have an equal number of cake and yeast donuts. And, they stock at least four kinds of
old-fashioned donuts (my very favorite) every single day! These are crunchy on the outside, with a
delicious glaze (I prefer the dark chocolate) and cakey in the inside. I cannot say enough about these donuts other
than I have resorted to eating them whenever I need a boost (or even when I
don’t need a boost). I also highly recommend
their sprinkle donut holes and, frankly, any other flavor I have ever tasted.
Joe Donut has a large Facebook presence if you would like to get to know them
better. The only downside to Joe Donut is that they are not open on Mondays. I
suppose their team deserves a day off!
Other than that, definitely worth a visit!
There are two picnic tables outside; otherwise, you need to
enjoy your donuts in the car or elsewhere.
