    Donut case around 11am
    Mariel T.

    They sell out when they sell out so get here early for first pick!! We got the raspberry blast and the chocolate eclair - both filled. If you've got a sugar craving and you're near one, def stop by :)

    Yum!!!

    Oh my goodness! I went to Illinois and I only spent $$$ on Donuts! (Seriously!) So, I live in the Atlanta area where we have donut shops all over the place, some chains and some locally owned ones. What I LOVED about Joe Donut was the simplicity of the donuts. I do not need anything crazy. Honestly, just seeing a chocolate frosted with rainbow sprinkles (the nonparallel type) made me SO HAPPY! Luckily, my nephew goes to school down the street so when I come back to town, I know where breakfast is coming from~

    I'll start by saying I love me some donuts! I've been to Joe Donut a few times and have tried them at friends' places and they just fall a tad bit short. I must explain though! I love the variety of flavor options offered by Joe Donut, there really is something for everyone. My reason for 3 starts only, these donuts are on the dry side for me and taste like they've been sitting around for a long time just a couple hours after bringing them home. You definitely have to buy them fresh and consume them right away. If you do, they are pretty good! The double chocolate, maple bacon, chocolate with sprinkles (Celebration is what I think it's called) are pretty good. I wanted to love the Hazelnut/Nutella long John, but it was SO DRY! People love this place. I've tried it many times, but it has yet to wow me. Will I return? Sure, if it's the only option. Will I seek it out or crave it? Probably not!

    The entry to a little store where bigly-deliciousness awaits.

    Love this place! Teeny-tiny spot near the Glenview Metra train station, across from the library. Excellent doughnuts with fun flavors for the adventurous and great traditional choices, too. Cute mini cake doughnut "cups" on top of the drink cooler - perfect for a little nibble (or for kids). The coffee is full-bodied, rich brew and can take on any of the pastries you want to dunk in - and it's hot-hot-hot. Family favorites are the Joe 1/2 Dozen with a mix of salted caramel toffee almond old-fashioned and coconut cake with show-offs: red velvet, maple bacon, or (blueberry) fritter. The kids insist on the Snickers old-fashioned, Oreo, and cereal-garnished (fruity pebbles). Oh, yes, get some glazed, if you can (you have to go early to get these - they usually sell out). I always get a side-car (aka The Commuter) and give the donut away to share the goodness. If there's a line, be patient. You won't wait too long, as Diana gets people through efficiently and with a smile.

    Very cute little shop at the Glenview Metra station. We've tried a few times to get to the shop before it closes because they usually close down once their donuts run out. Waked up and arrived at 8am on the Sunday. There was a constant stream of customers during that time while we were there. We ordered a Joe's Dozen which was 2 short of a real dozen (end total was just short of $15). I particularly liked their pecan fritter - it was HUGE and had good texture. The old-fashioned donuts were great, while the yeast style donuts were pretty decent as well. I've never really been a fan of the old-fashioned before but I'm warming up to them especially how Joe's make em. Usually my default is the yeast glazed. No place to sit, it's mainly a grab and go kind of place. They did have a good daily special of $3 for a donut + 16oz coffee. I'll definitely put on my list of places to revisit.

    I really like stopping in here for iced coffee and 1 or 4 or 5 donuts on the way in to work! My top picks have been the vanilla old fashioned, red velvet, but most importantly ANY FRITTER YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON! The apple one is gigantic, fresh, and delicious. A few months ago, they had a couple scone flavors, but I am not sure if that's a regular thing. Friendly customer service. Donut worry: I'll be back soon!

    There are not many small batch donut shops in the area. I've been trying to come here for awhile now and either it was closed when I've passed by or there wasn't anymore. They seem to sell out quickly especially on weekdays, probably because they are so close to the train stop makes for an easy grab before getting on the train. This morning that we came in, it was early and I knew they would not run out this time. It's a small shop, smaller than what it seems, there are no tables inside to sit down on, but a couple outside. We grabbed a 1/2 Joe dozen which is 9 donuts (2 specialty and 7 mixed). We grabbed a nice variety to try. My favorite was the blueberry lemon old fashioned. Looks like there's a deal for a donut with coffee for $3.

    Yes, believe the hype. Joe Donut has a great selection of delicious donuts, all of which are soft, fresh, and easy on the eyes. As a regular and loyal customer, I tried a variety of flavors and I loved every single one of them. The truth of the matter is, these donuts don't miss! The coconut one is my absolutely favorite - if they have it, I'm buying it. If they don't, I won't hesitate ordering one of their specialities because they're always so exciting to try. I also love their pumpkin donuts come fall time, they are unmatched. Pro tip: try to come in earlier in the morning as they tend to run out of certain donuts quickly (especially their seasonal specialties). The one thing I do want to note, however, is I feel like the staff is not as friendly as they could be. Regardless, the service is super quick, prompt, and you're really in and out of the building. All in all, if you're craving a donut, don't disgrace yourself by going to the Dunkin Donuts across the street. If you care about quality at all, you won't think twice about stopping in at this cute little shop.

    I think this has to be the best donut shop in the area. They make fresh donuts daily and have a good variety of donuts. With that said, they only have a few of each especially towards the later end of the morning ~9am. What's key about Joes donuts is that it's located walking distance from the Metra Glenview train stop so if you're craving a donut and some morning joe, stop on in for some pure deliciousness. My favorite is either their pistachio old fashioned donut or their traditional glazed donut. Both are worthy of craving and I can't wait to go back. My only hesitation on giving this place 5 stars are the lack of quantity...I find this at most donut shops in the city and maybe something they can I'll improve upon in the future?

    They have curbside pickup for your online order. Something delicious and fresh to cheer us all up during this pandemic.

    This place is such a gem! It is conveniently located right next to the Glenview metra stop or if you drove there's parking (very limited) right in front of the store. We initially grabbed two donuts, red velvet and sprinkles. We were shocked by the price, it came out to $4! Which is normally how much ONE donut in Chicago cost. The donuts are super yum, I absolutely loved the sprinkle cake donut. So moist and crumbly, I can taste the delicious fat it was fried in, just heavenly. It was so good in fact, I went back and got another one along with a pistachio old-fashioned, and sprinkle wins again! This place is definitely worth a revisit If I'm ever in Glenview again. By the way, they make their donuts in small batches, so definitely go early.

    Super cute, a little smaller than other locations, I noticed less donut options but didn't have any difficulty choosing. I tried the lemon poppyseed doughnut and it was awesome. My friend got a Boston cream donut and it was one of the weirdest donuts I've ever tried, the filling tasted lemony. It was just wrong, skip that flavor. I also had a cold brew with caramel and oat milk, delicious.

    On our way home from the Botanic garden we were due for a sweet treat so we found the Mini Donut…read moreFactory on the map and headed over. We ended up getting a dozen mini donuts for about $18. We ordered the glazed, chocolate, cinnamon sugar, strawberry shortcake, toasted almond, and caramel. These donuts are fresh upon order and topped with whatever flavors you'd like. We intended to enjoy our findings at home, but once we smelled the donuts and felt their warmth it was over with - we couldn't wait. I'm not sure anything beats doughy fresh donuts. Out of all the flavors, I enjoyed the classic cinnamon sugar but I was surprised by how much I liked the strawberry shortcake. I couldn't help but to think these are the perfect items to bring to the office or event. Not only are they absolutely delicious, but the portion sizes are much more practical in a sharable setting than regular size donuts. Service was super kind and patient and the inside is adorable with plenty of seating. Support this business, they really do deserve it.

    ** Super Delicious ** ** Super Fresh **…read more** Kind Service ** Go there now! Incase you don't read full reviews Mini Donut Factory is located in a strip mall and barely noticeable but am I glad we did. Walked in with a friend and it was quite. Easy on the eye decor. That was a bit of a red flag for me personally. There was just no energy until we spoke with the gentleman behind the counter who was super kind and had the energy. He informed us that all the donuts were cooked to order and we merely needed to choose the toppings. And delicious toppings they were! We got... Coco Pebbles Fruity Pebbles Bacon Maple (real bacon) Glazed Caramel They were delicious down to the last one! We'll 100% be back for more!!!
