Omg!! I have lived in Dyer Indiana for 20 years and I just had my first Munster Donut(s) about two weeks ago and I'm still pondering why in the heck it took me so long to go there. I have tried the chocolate glazed, the pumpkin, the sour cream, and the maple glaze (so far). If you eat a DD after trying a Munster donut you'll never ever go back to DD again. People told me this for years, but I didn't believe it until I tried it for myself. I'm not going to write and long drawn out review, all I'm gonna say is go try this place out...like Yesterday!!!

I get a sweet tooth sometimes(all the time) and I am really surprised that I haven't been to Munster Donuts before 2 weeks ago. You know how there's that saying: "Fast, Good or Cheap... Pick two."???I don't know HOW they did it, but they managed to give us all Three. When pulling in off of Calumet Ave. there is an old, unremarkable sign that simply says "Munster Donut", I walk up to an old, unremarkable building... I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. The inside is simple, there are some stools and a bar area to sit at, a newspaper and periodical stand by the door, and if you look to the left and there's a good sized window into the production area. This isn't a fancy little place, it's a Form follows Function place. And the function is AMAZAZING! I bought 6 donuts, 30 donut holes, a small coffee and a Vanilla Icing donut for (this isn't a typo) just a bit over $8.00! Bow Ties, (Vanilla) Long John, Apple Fritters, Maple Pecan, Cake Donut with Vanilla Icing, Plain and Powdered Donut Holes and of course their Coffee. I tried at least a bit of each, after which I was one milligram of glucose away from having a sugar induced Rager. I swear on my Yelpy little heart that these are THE BEST friggin' donuts and coffee I've had in my life! Ever. Seriously.

Alright, the donuts are now $0.86 but it's still a good price. If you get a half dozen you'll only end up paying $4.00, it is AWESOME. The donuts are delicious, just as they were before. Love the angel creams and jelly-filled

This place always has the freshest donuts. I've been here several times and I'm never disappointed.

We tried this place based on the hype and yelp reviews - honestly, I don't get it. The baked goods (apple fritter, donuts, brownie - we tried a little of everything) were meh. I'll give it a star or two for nostalgia because it looks like the place hasn't changed an inch in 50 years, but that's about it.

I've been frequenting Munster Donut, since it was called Mister Donut...so yeah, a pretty long time. I recently relocated to the Chicago area and while visiting Munster I've picked up donuts on 4 separate occasions. I have not gotten a fresh donut yet! My favorite, the unpretentious iced jelly, has been rock hard, dry and missing all put a hint of jelly. I also tried their eclairs...do not bother. Again, not fresh, barely filled...

I have had sampled donuts all the way from the mighty Willamette to the Susquehanna, from Lake Itasca to the Gulf (I seriously fancy myself somewhat of a connoisseur)-- and I can safely say that Munster Donuts are, if not the finest, tied for first place. The chocolate glazed is a favorite, as is the chocolate cream filled (what an age of gastronomic glory we live in!). The perfect balance of crunchy friedness and soft doughy sweetness. A dozen will set you back a mere seven or eight bucks and will retain their freshness for in excess of 24 hours-- in contrast to many donuts of the storebought varieties, laden with dough conditioners and preservatives, that hardly hold their quality til the end of the day. They even have free wi fi and accept credit cards! They also sell the NWI Times, a noble publication. Coffee is reliably and unspeakably atrocious, as you might expect from a middle-American donut shop.

OMG ... WTF ... NBD ... LOL ... BRB. I am not sure what all those mean, but Munster Donuts is the bomb. In a day and age when everything is Dunkin Donuts (and I like Dunkin) it is a wonder to see there is still room for a Munster Donuts. This is the old fashioned donut shop that I grew up with - used to go to a similar shop on 95th & Western in Chicago. Munster Donuts is a throwback to that time. The donuts are wonderful ... all deep fried ... sometimes a bit on the heavy side ... and always full of sugar. These are the real deal ... if you long for donuts. Nice little counter if you care to stay and eat your calories ... but most are take out delivery. Big window into the fry room for those who like to see their food prepared. Neat old fashioned place.

When I am out this way in the morning, I try and stop here all the time. My children love the donuts. I really like the black coffee. I also like the idea of going to a mom and pop donut shop instead of Dunkin Donuts all the time.

Love and hate this place. I knew the owners, but didn't frequent the place until my kid started working there. I can thank those damn apple fritters for my tight pants. They are heaven. Donuts are hands down phenomenal. I have seen people stand there and wait for their favorite to come out. You can watch them make the donuts too!! The stuff is cheap, so please tip the workers. My son is not yet at minimum wage, so some of them do really appreciate the tips. Shop small... these women who own it are wonderful!

My first visit was great, staff was friendly, donuts hot and fresh and the place was bustling...I kept thinking about those donuts and bugged my boyfriend to take me, well we went one night a couple weeks ago after 10 pm.....We might as well have been standing outside....two workers, one came out from the back like "Oh yeah what?" We bought half a dozen cold as ice donuts....my boyfriend wanted a Boston cream but they didn't have them.....when we pulled out of Munsters parking lot he saw Dunkin Donuts right across the street and looked at me and frowned. Big disappointment.

been into homemade donuts lately. These are awwwsommmmeeeee!!!!! The smell of fried yeast will make anyone salivate. Bought the bear claw, German chocolate, and glazed(honey dip). These are yummy pillowy donuts that brought a smile to my face. The customer service staff was pleasant too. Love this local spot.

It never closes!!! The donuts are amazing and super cheap! I absolutely love this place. Honestly, no matter the time of day you go, there is always a donut there to satisfy your sweet tooth! Even the odd sounding sour cream donuts with powdered sugar are good. My favorite are the chocolate angels and apple fritters. This place does it right and has been doing so for many years. They even have some counter space for those that crave nostalgic feelings. 7.99 for a dozen donuts is a steal!

Step aside, DD... you can't get a better doughnut anywhere else than Munster Donuts. It's a good thing I don't live close by or I'd be living on these sugary goodies! The best part is the fantastic mix of options. My husband is a traditional glazed type of guy while I love cake donuts so both of us can leave happy. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend old fashioned and toasted coconut. Fantastic!

Best donuts in the area. Substantial, weighty donuts. When you get a dozen, the box is HEAVY. They make Dunkin Donuts seem like pieces of flavored air. They're delicious, and the coffee is good, too. I'd bring these into my office in the west suburbs and people would be devouring them and asking where they came from. Wish they had a drive-thru.

When I go to Indiana for gas, I have got to stop here, their donuts are everything! The frosted jelly-filled donuts and apple pie slices are to die for. I drove there this weekend thinking I was getting donuts and what do I find?? A closed sign due to someone driving dead smack into the building, damaging the bakery! What am I to do for donuts in the meantime? Hurry up and open please, me and baby need our fix! (7 months pregnant) :)

Munster Donuts not only have the best donuts in the Midwest but I found out today their customer service is awesome too! I was craving their to die for Pumpkin Donuts so I called just to see if they had any today. Not only did the young lady I spoke to say they had some freshly made but she asked for my name and how many I wanted, when my husband arrived they were packed up with two extra "for the ride home." Awesome donuts, awesome customer service!

My husband told me that he stopped at MD on the way to work and raved about the donuts. I felt so bad! This man has lived with me for 7 years and I never took him to Donut Heaven! I think it was my secret, guilty little pleasure. There is no comparison at the across the street franchise or for that matter, any other donut shop I have ever visited. Get the chocolate iced ring. It is fresh and yeasty and soft and chocolaty and OMG I have to run out and get now NOW. BTW - they are open 24/7 and is NON-SMOKING!

Want to endear yourself to a bunch of overworked and over-stressed teachers and support staff? Show up on any given Friday with a dozen donuts from Munster Donuts. Faces light up, smiles abound, and moods immediately lighten. It's like Christmas--for less than $7.00. Munster Donuts (Mister Donut if you are truly old school) is a small, local donut shop which has the prescience to be open 24 hours a day because they know, they *know*, that a Munster Donut craving can hit at any time and that, when it hits, it *must* be fulfilled. Think I'm kidding? Fresh donuts all day, every day? Where else are you going to find a dozen of such fresh delectations for less than $10? The chocolate iced ring donuts are a family favorite, though I have never sampled a donut from this shop that doesn't score high marks with me. This is readily evidenced by how quickly I fill up my little punch card which then buys me a free dozen. Serious swoon time. You simply can't find any other place like it. Believe me, I've tried. It sucks to move out of the area and try and find something, anything that measures up to the donuts I've loved since I was a wee tyke. The hopeful anticipation as you order a donut. The promise of that first bite. And then the utter disappointment as you realize that, while this is a decent enough donut, it will never be a Munster Donut. Nearly soul crushing, I can assure you. If you are smart, you will get yourself here today. Now. This minute. Get your keys. We'll wait. Don't worry if it is a long commute. The donuts will be fresh when you get here.

This was my very first job and several members of my family have worked there over the years. I LOVE Mister (ok fine MUNSTER) Donut so much, every time I'm in town to visit I have to fight the urge to go get donuts and coffee there, and I often lose that fight. I was really worried when they put in the Dunkin across the street but there's no way anyone in their right mind would prefer a Dunkin Donut over Mr. Donuts. They are SO good, working there spoiled me on donuts. I just don't think anyone else makes donuts any better. Plus, eating them when they're hot, fresh out of the fryer and vat of sugar glaze - UGH that's the best. Top picks: anything with white icing, marble donuts and donuts on a stick!

Let me be upfront and tell you I've never set foot in this place, but I've eaten their donuts many times thanks to Jim M. (Go read his reviews!) and I agree with everyone who raves about them. They're wonderful. When I see Jim walking up to the house with a box from Munster Donuts I go put coffee on and get ready for a very pleasant few hours of good talk, good coffee and great donuts. And I have to say that it's been a long time since I've had a Bismarck or Bavarian cream that wasn't icky-sweet, but the ones from this place manage to walk that fine line. If you're anywhere near Munster Donuts, you really owe it to yourself to make a stop there. You won't be sorry.

I ordered donuts for my son's birthday. Then sent my husband to pick them up. The boxes were labeled incorrectly with wrong last name so he got the wrong order. Mistakes happen all the time, right? No problem...to err is human. So, I merely called the next day to let them know. Then...they say they will make more to make up for this. So, they tell me they will make a re-do for Saturday. I go to pick them up only to be verbally assaulted by the manager who insists that my husband willfully picked up the wrong donuts and then I called and yelled on the phone. None of which is true. So much for making this customer happier. These used to be our favorite donuts, but to verbally assault me in front of no less than 20 other customers is inexcusable. Don't go out of your way for this donut shop.

Donuts and coffee has never been so good. This is how donuts and coffee should always, always, always taste. The old-fashioned diner ambience of the little shop primes the memories of my grandpa and me eating donuts at the local shop when I was still shorter than five feet tall (I'm now 6'4 - quite a bit taller and older). It's not a dunkin donuts and thank goodness for that, because although I love my dunkin donuts I love some truly authentic donuts and coffee. And that's what you will get here - authenticity to the max. When you walk into the shop and look to the left you can see people making the donuts right then and there. But the smell of the shop is probably one of the best in the world. But you all want to know about the donuts don't you? Well, the donuts have just the right sweetness and they are extremely fluffy! The donuts are actually quite big and very cheap. Why wouldn't you wander into this heavenly shop when you can get a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious delicious dozen of donuts for cheap? You'd be crazy not to. It's not too far off of the highway so if you want to stop for some donuts you can do so whether you're driving at 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon - they're open 24 hours! Aka, the greatest thing ever.

DONUT LOVE! It's cheap, fresh, so delicious, and a great small business. This is the kind of 24 hour joint where you can find old guys sitting at the counter, sipping their coffee and reading their papers at 8 pm on a weeknight. The cashiers are always kind and patient when you're taking forever to *only* choose a dozen different donuts, or asking questions about the flavors. I love that they've survived despite DD being right across the street.

Not the prettiest place, not the friendliest place, and not the most organized place. But their donuts are out of this world. Only 8/10th of a mile south off 80/94 on Calumet ave makes it very easy to get to from most anywhere. If you happen to be sitting in wretched traffic it's a great excuse to get off the expressway for a quick donut stop. I've timed it and can get off the expressway, hit Munster Donuts, and back to the expressway in under five minutes. I've occasionally been here when there isn't a single donut for sale or another time just two varieties. More often there is a choice of at least 25 to 30 different donut choices and they're always fresh and great tasting. While I've found the jelly filled and the chocolate topped Bismarcks to be the best, I can honestly say I've not had a bad donut. Great flavors and even a nice rotation of special flavors like the current Apple Spice filled donut that wasn't too sweet and had real apples inside, not just a flavored goo. The staff don't excel at providing warm and fuzzy service but they get the job done quickly.

Stopped in while my husband was filling up the gas tank at the station next door. For a Sunday afternoon, they had a huge variety left. So far, I've only tried the toasted coconut and the vanilla angel cream. Both delicious and can't be beat on price. We frequent some doughnut places in Wicker Park and are used to paying $3.25 per doughnut, so I was really pleased to get a half dozen for just a buck more here. Definitely worth the quick stop off the interstate if you have a few minutes to spare.

Picture it. You've just packed down a gyros sandwich, a pile of cheese fries, and a diet pepsi, and now you're really jonesing for a treat. You don't want ice cream, no candy--you want something warm and baked homemade. But it's 8 o'clock and most bakeries are closed. OOH, SUCKS TO BE YOU! So what do you do? Go to the nearest Dunkin Donuts? Heck no! Avoid the belly bomb you get when you knock back a couple of DD chocolate glazed donuts and instead head on over to Munster Donuts. These are the way donuts should be--never greasy, light, but very satisfying. I'd choose a donut from Munster Donut over a slice of cake or pie any day of the week. I have 5 personal favs and an occasional seasonal favorite, as well: 1. The angel--Thick, vanilla or chocolate buttercream bursting through a powdered-sugar coated bismark? Whoaaah. Where do I sign up? 2. Black Raspberry jelly donut--I have an affinity for black raspberry and this is the ONLY place in the tri-state area that in can find a black raspberry-filled donut! 3. Double chocolate--chocolate glazed donut with chocolate icing. How can you go wrong? 4. Strawberry glazed--the BEST strawberry glazed donut I've ever had. This one makes Dunkin Donuts' taste like a pile of puke. 5. Cream cheese brownie---It's not what you think. There is no sign of visible cream cheese on this brownie. I think they use it in the brownie batter, as well as the fudge frosting. Whatever they do, though, this huge brownie for 65-cents is unbelievable--thick, fudgy, and slightly tangy from the presence of cream cheese.

Anyone thinking Munster Donuts(MD) is better than Dunkin Donuts(DD) haven't tasted DD. Not that DD is great either. I would even rate Village Pantry better. Yes. Gas station donuts are better. Stopped in on April 27, 2013 and picked up a dozen donuts at MD. Jellies, creams, and fruit filling. Got home and had a few donuts. They are seriously lacking in filling. The donuts themselves didn't even taste as good as a DD. On the Bavarian, I got through almost 3/4 of the donut before finding any filling. All donuts suffered the lack of filling. These are OK if all you need is a sugar fix and don't care much about taste. I did an experiment on the fruit filled donut(apple). I cut it in half this time...I could not see any filling on either side. I did find the filling all the way to the end on one side. That's a poorly made donut. Do yourself a favor. Go across he street and buy DD. They are not that great either but better than MD. The other thing I noticed about MD was that they just aren't that clean of a shop. Anyone ever look in that donut making room? Things just look ratty in there. I expected people to be smoking in there but luckily they do have a sign on the door that say, "NO SMOKING". Price...About $8 for a dozen($7 and some change). In perspective, I would give DD 3 stars because it is a cleaner store and you get more filling in a donut.

Sharon D.
went there this morning noticed that the baker(guy) in the back area was smearing the icing on the donuts with his bare fingers. Naked dirty hand. I was wondering if this is the normal practice or should he have used a spatula. Or maybe a plastic glove....and a clean uniform might have helped. Nevertheless I drove off and plan to never return. Munster donuts are for the people that don't notice what is going on in the kitchen. Sanitation 101 - never use bare hand to prep food. Millions of people get sick every day from eating in places like this that have no code of ethics.

The best donuts around, no doubt about it. I became a king at my job because of the many dozen I brought in of these. Always fresh, really great service, I'd call ahead, estimate my time, they were ready whenever I arrived. The sour cream donuts look a little strange, but are a must with some good strong coffee. I can't say that I've ever had a bad donut here, even the pink frosted ones, which has been in every dozen I've bought from any donut place, was outstanding. I always wondered who ate those. That would be me, now, I guess. The coffee is not that strong, but it compliments the donuts really well. The counter is just the right height for eating and reading late at night, if you find yourself doing that. Forget the chains, come to Munster Donuts, you will not be disappointed.

Stephanie K.
What can I say? A 24-hour donut shop with old-fashioned counter service and the personality to match. It's paradise! You MUST try their strawberry frosted and their sour cream donuts--simply fantastic!!!! I've been eating their sour cream for years and can't seem to get away from them. After a night of drinking on the town, instead of hanging out at an all-night diner, I go to Munster Donut and grab a couple "holes" with friends.

3-1/2 stars, really, but yelp made me choose whole numbers only and I honestly can't give MD 4 stars. I realize that there are many fans of MD here. I don't blame them. MD has some very good donuts; so why only 3(1/2) stars? Munster Donut is like Dunkin' x2. I say that b/c from my experience with the growing list of donut shop/bakeries I'm trying, the crust just doesn't measure up to what a hand-made, hand-fried donut has (think of the crust of the sour creme, but a wee bit less as crusty, and you'll get an idea of what I mean.) I don't mean to sour a parade, but the really good old fashions I've had have had a crunchier/crispier crust. All that being said, the inner cake portion of the cake donuts is delicious. The maple frosting is DELICIOUS. The blueberry jelly, luscious. The yeast donuts are good as well. Frosting is a bit on the sweeter side. The crown jewel goes to the apple fritters. They are as large and as round as a grape fruit and they also are filled with the small-chunk filling. On top of all of this, the atmosphere and considerateness I experienced are what I think make the donuts so extraordinary. (Case in point - I order my dozen samplers and one apple fritter. I then order a coffee. I pay. Then I realize I need to get another fritter. I ask if they have any more. None in the case, so the gentleman checks in back. They just made some and the woman, without me even asking, takes the "older" one I had just bought,) and says she's going to replace that so that I have two fresh ones. I've never, EVER experienced that at a Dunkin'. (Doubt if I ever would.) And I don't usually get that at other privately owned places. I'm convinced that the good vibes of the place is tasted in the donuts. Though when all is said and done, for all the places around Chicago, Munster Donut only pulls a 3(1/2) stars with me. I haven't explored NWI in-depth yet, but I'll gamble that Munster Donut is near the top. For all its pluses, Munster Donut is great. On

3 donuts and a cream cheese brownie for 4 bucks. Nice! Open 24 hours with friendly service. A cherry filled donut was just what I craved last night before heading back to Chicago and I got it. If every town had a place like this the world would be a better place.

THE best donuts around, DD does not compare to MD. I work right down the road from this place, so I have to be careful!! Delish.

This is the only place I buy donuts! Try the do-nut on a stick for the kids, they LOVE it! I like the coconut donuts myself.

I went here at 6pm the other night and they were out of the majority of their doughnuts, did I mention they are supposed to be open 24 hrs a day? Not only that, but the ones I bought were stale and had a funny aftertaste. Heat happened to my beloved Munster Doughnuts.

It is very easy to miss this place. As I have driven by for the last 10 years and have only now discovered it's delicious offerings. Yes, I was hung over, but they have real cake donuts covered in chocolate. They have a lot of mouth watering treats that I will be back for as well as the fast friendly service.

So I went here around 1am on a Saturday. I had just finished a long night of gambling and other nonsense over at the Horseshoe Casino and thought that a sweet treat just might take the edge off after being less than lucky. I had read the good reviews for this place and figured I would give it a try. As stated by previous reviewers, this place is open 24 hours a day. If you happen to come here in the middle of the night, you may or may not feel that you are in the Little Donut Shop of Horrors. When I walked into that bathroom - dripping faucet, a slightly rancid smell, and questionable stains on the wall - I thought for sure some giant donut with human qualities and razor sharp teeth was going to get me. But all this changed when I discovered what would be a delightful addition to the drive home from northwest Indiana to the northwest side of the Chi....DONUT ON A MFin' STICK. Maybe you have seen it before, but this totally blew my mind. Everything is better on a stick. This, combined with their signature sour cream donut and a cup of coffee hit the spot and until I checked my checking balance the next day, made me forget about the money I had blown over at the Horseshoe.

This place is an institution of donut perfection. They are open 24 hours for your any time of the day or night donut cravings. Seemingly hundreds of donuts to choose from and you can see right into the area where they make all of them by hand. If you're in the area there's no excuse for going to Dunkin when this place is across the street. It simply doesn't get better than this place.

They do not have a big selection but the freshness and quality of the food is 5 star and the stuff on the primo racks at the bottom like the brownies and cinnamon rolls can't be beat by anybody around.

I love Muster Donuts so much I would travel miles just for six. That's just how good they are. My favorite is the strawberry icing soft donut. I'm not a big fan of the cake donuts, but they're really good as well. The price is average, $5 for a dozen depending on the kind of donuts that you pick out. As soon as you walk up to the front door you will immediately smell the the delicious donuts. That's the beauty of it, because you may not even have an appetite for a donut but the smell will draw you in. Hands down they are GREAT!!! I didn't give them five stars because there is another donut shop that is hands down amazing.

Jose G.
Holy crap. My favorite donut place in the whole world. The cream cheese donut is the stuff dreams are made of. Love the variety, the fact that they are open 24 hours and how cheap the place is. I have no clue why anyone would step into the dd across the street. I drive past 3 dd on my way to Munster Donut and I do so with pleasure. Visit Munster Donut and support a local business.

My husband and I get donuts here on the weekends in the morning often. All of them have always been great. The best are the cake donuts they are always fresh when we get them. They service is average nothing to exciting. Most of the time when we go like I said it is in the morning on the weekend so it is busy, so I do not think they are trying hard for customer service just trying to get you in and out. The donuts speak for themselves however.

Pete W.
its nice living in a town where the business is still strong,and its still there after ALL these years. if the doughnuts are fresh,delicious,and competitively priced,i wouldn't think of going anywhere else....and supporting the small business man is good too. ive never had a bad experience here,and I love their doughnuts. I thought it was pretty lame when dunkin doughnuts built their store directly across the street too...lol. if I ever decided to go there,its awkward getting in their parking lot,and the people working in there don't understand you,unless you are talking slow enough for them to understand. im a customer of munster doughnut for 25 yrs almost. as long as I love pastries,its where I go.

Ok, first this place is open 24 hours a day. Yippee. Second, this is old fashioned, 1950s style donut shop. The taste is only beat by the shockingly low prices. We stopped in on a Sunday night and got a dozen donuts, a huge brownie, a huge cinnamon roll, 2 chocolate milks, an iced coffee and a juice - $14.00. Yes, the stereotype is true, we walked in and the 2 other people sitting there - Munster cops. we had to let out a little chuckle JUST TRIED THE BROWNIE AND HAD TO UPDATE MY REVIEW. BEST BROWNIE I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! OMG

Merrill N.
I'll add another 5-star review. The donuts here are out of this world. Plus the donut-on-a-stick makes a great little gift. Donuts-on-stix are yummy and seasonally decorated. Do not miss. But ALL the donuts I've had here are great. I like Dunkin Donuts, but not for their donuts. I like Munster Donuts for their donuts. And cookies.

Don D.
Munster donuts is da Bomb! Great doughnuts and good coffee...Plus side is open 24/7 so if you get that 4 am craving for a dozen sweet treats and a coffee you can get them! There is really no downside its basic good service and good product for people that enjoy that sort of thing.

Read about Munster Donuts here on Yelp as I was planning our trip to 3 Floyds. This place is magical. It feels like a trip back in time to how all donuts shops once were. Counter, display of goodies, locals adding flavor. And the donuts delivered. Favorites were the strawberry glazed, peanut, and the double chocolate. The cream cheese filled was interesting, as was the sour cream. As the man at the counter said, people come on Saturday and drive back for more on Sunday. I believe it.

This rating is more about the selection of items than the doughnuts themselves. Specifically the fact that 3 out of 4 times I go there to get chocolate and/or vanilla angels they are out! Ok...so I am going between 5-11 pm but I eat doughnuts for dessert...not breakfast. :) Please, please, please keep those two doughnut types stocked more often. Your other doughnuts are good...but those angels are the reason why I (and many of my friends) go to Munster Donut!

Not the prettiest place, not the friendliest place, and not the most organized place. But their donuts are out of this world. Only 8/10th of a mile south off 80/94 on Calumet ave makes it very easy to get to from most anywhere. If you happen to be sitting in wretched traffic it's a great excuse to get off the expressway for a quick donut stop. I've timed it and can get off the expressway, hit Munster Donuts, and back to the expressway in under five minutes. I've occasionally been here when there isn't a single donut for sale or another time just two varieties. More often there is a choice of at least 25 to 30 different donut choices and they're always fresh and great tasting. While I've found the jelly filled and the chocolate topped Bismarcks to be the best, I can honestly say I've not had a bad donut. Great flavors and even a nice rotation of special flavors like the current Apple Spice filled donut that wasn't too sweet and had real apples inside, not just a flavored goo. The staff don't excel at providing warm and fuzzy service but they get the job done quickly.

Stopped in while my husband was filling up the gas tank at the station next door. For a Sunday afternoon, they had a huge variety left. So far, I've only tried the toasted coconut and the vanilla angel cream. Both delicious and can't be beat on price. We frequent some doughnut places in Wicker Park and are used to paying $3.25 per doughnut, so I was really pleased to get a half dozen for just a buck more here. Definitely worth the quick stop off the interstate if you have a few minutes to spare.

When I am out this way in the morning, I try and stop here all the time. My children love the donuts. I really like the black coffee. I also like the idea of going to a mom and pop donut shop instead of Dunkin Donuts all the time.

Angela S.
Love and hate this place. I knew the owners, but didn't frequent the place until my kid started working there. I can thank those damn apple fritters for my tight pants. They are heaven. Donuts are hands down phenomenal. I have seen people stand there and wait for their favorite to come out. You can watch them make the donuts too!! The stuff is cheap, so please tip the workers. My son is not yet at minimum wage, so some of them do really appreciate the tips. Shop small... these women who own it are wonderful!

3-1/2 stars, really, but yelp made me choose whole numbers only and I honestly can't give MD 4 stars. I realize that there are many fans of MD here. I don't blame them. MD has some very good donuts; so why only 3(1/2) stars? Munster Donut is like Dunkin' x2. I say that b/c from my experience with the growing list of donut shop/bakeries I'm trying, the crust just doesn't measure up to what a hand-made, hand-fried donut has (think of the crust of the sour creme, but a wee bit less as crusty, and you'll get an idea of what I mean.) I don't mean to sour a parade, but the really good old fashions I've had have had a crunchier/crispier crust. All that being said, the inner cake portion of the cake donuts is delicious. The maple frosting is DELICIOUS. The blueberry jelly, luscious. The yeast donuts are good as well. Frosting is a bit on the sweeter side. The crown jewel goes to the apple fritters. They are as large and as round as a grape fruit and they also are filled with the small-chunk filling. On top of all of this, the atmosphere and considerateness I experienced are what I think make the donuts so extraordinary. (Case in point - I order my dozen samplers and one apple fritter. I then order a coffee. I pay. Then I realize I need to get another fritter. I ask if they have any more. None in the case, so the gentleman checks in back. They just made some and the woman, without me even asking, takes the "older" one I had just bought,) and says she's going to replace that so that I have two fresh ones. I've never, EVER experienced that at a Dunkin'. (Doubt if I ever would.) And I don't usually get that at other privately owned places. I'm convinced that the good vibes of the place is tasted in the donuts. Though when all is said and done, for all the places around Chicago, Munster Donut only pulls a 3(1/2) stars with me.

OMG ! If you want GREAT, FANTASTIC, Homemade donuts - then this is your place. After going here we never even mention that other place (what was their name??) Munster Donuts is the bomb..... I love the pumpkin warm it up a bit and have that with coffee.....yum He gets anything with chocolate. The donuts are always fresh, always tasty and always well gone !! LOL The staff is great and they do try to get you in and out, the hardest part is choosing.

Omg!! I have lived in Dyer Indiana for 20 years and I just had my first Munster Donut(s) about two weeks ago and I'm still pondering why in the heck it took me so long to go there. I have tried the chocolate glazed, the pumpkin, the sour cream, and the maple glaze (so far). If you eat a DD after trying a Munster donut you'll never ever go back to DD again. People told me this for years, but I didn't believe it until I tried it for myself. I'm not going to write and long drawn out review, all I'm gonna say is go try this place out...like Yesterday!!!

I get a sweet tooth sometimes(all the time) and I am really surprised that I haven't been to Munster Donuts before 2 weeks ago. You know how there's that saying: "Fast, Good or Cheap... Pick two."???I don't know HOW they did it, but they managed to give us all Three. When pulling in off of Calumet Ave. there is an old, unremarkable sign that simply says "Munster Donut", I walk up to an old, unremarkable building... I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. The inside is simple, there are some stools and a bar area to sit at, a newspaper and periodical stand by the door, and if you look to the left and there's a good sized window into the production area. This isn't a fancy little place, it's a Form follows Function place. And the function is AMAZAZING! I bought 6 donuts, 30 donut holes, a small coffee and a Vanilla Icing donut for (this isn't a typo) just a bit over $8.00! Bow Ties, (Vanilla) Long John, Apple Fritters, Maple Pecan, Cake Donut with Vanilla Icing, Plain and Powdered Donut Holes and of course their Coffee. I tried at least a bit of each, after which I was one milligram of glucose away from having a sugar induced Rager. I swear on my Yelpy little heart that these are THE BEST friggin' donuts and coffee I've had in my life! Ever. Seriously.

This was my very first job and several members of my family have worked there over the years. I LOVE Mister (ok fine MUNSTER) Donut so much, every time I'm in town to visit I have to fight the urge to go get donuts and coffee there, and I often lose that fight. I was really worried when they put in the Dunkin across the street but there's no way anyone in their right mind would prefer a Dunkin Donut over Mr. Donuts. They are SO good, working there spoiled me on donuts. I just don't think anyone else makes donuts any better. Plus, eating them when they're hot, fresh out of the fryer and vat of sugar glaze - UGH that's the best. Top picks: anything with white icing, marble donuts and donuts on a stick!

Let me be upfront and tell you I've never set foot in this place, but I've eaten their donuts many times thanks to Jim M. (Go read his reviews!) and I agree with everyone who raves about them. They're wonderful. When I see Jim walking up to the house with a box from Munster Donuts I go put coffee on and get ready for a very pleasant few hours of good talk, good coffee and great donuts. And I have to say that it's been a long time since I've had a Bismarck or Bavarian cream that wasn't icky-sweet, but the ones from this place manage to walk that fine line. If you're anywhere near Munster Donuts, you really owe it to yourself to make a stop there. You won't be sorry.

Bridget L.
I ordered donuts for my son's birthday. Then sent my husband to pick them up. The boxes were labeled incorrectly with wrong last name so he got the wrong order. Mistakes happen all the time, right? No problem...to err is human. So, I merely called the next day to let them know. Then...they say they will make more to make up for this. So, they tell me they will make a re-do for Saturday. I go to pick them up only to be verbally assaulted by the manager who insists that my husband willfully picked up the wrong donuts and then I called and yelled on the phone. None of which is true. So much for making this customer happier. These used to be our favorite donuts, but to verbally assault me in front of no less than 20 other customers is inexcusable. Don't go out of your way for this donut shop.

Step aside, DD... you can't get a better doughnut anywhere else than Munster Donuts. It's a good thing I don't live close by or I'd be living on these sugary goodies! The best part is the fantastic mix of options. My husband is a traditional glazed type of guy while I love cake donuts so both of us can leave happy. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend old fashioned and toasted coconut. Fantastic!

been into homemade donuts lately. These are awwwsommmmeeeee!!!!! The smell of fried yeast will make anyone salivate. Bought the bear claw, German chocolate, and glazed(honey dip). These are yummy pillowy donuts that brought a smile to my face. The customer service staff was pleasant too. Love this local spot.

John T.
It never closes!!! The donuts are amazing and super cheap! I absolutely love this place. Honestly, no matter the time of day you go, there is always a donut there to satisfy your sweet tooth! Even the odd sounding sour cream donuts with powdered sugar are good. My favorite are the chocolate angels and apple fritters. This place does it right and has been doing so for many years. They even have some counter space for those that crave nostalgic feelings. 7.99 for a dozen donuts is a steal!

Donuts and coffee has never been so good. This is how donuts and coffee should always, always, always taste. The old-fashioned diner ambience of the little shop primes the memories of my grandpa and me eating donuts at the local shop when I was still shorter than five feet tall (I'm now 6'4 - quite a bit taller and older). It's not a dunkin donuts and thank goodness for that, because although I love my dunkin donuts I love some truly authentic donuts and coffee. And that's what you will get here - authenticity to the max. When you walk into the shop and look to the left you can see people making the donuts right then and there. But the smell of the shop is probably one of the best in the world. But you all want to know about the donuts don't you? Well, the donuts have just the right sweetness and they are extremely fluffy! The donuts are actually quite big and very cheap. Why wouldn't you wander into this heavenly shop when you can get a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious delicious dozen of donuts for cheap? You'd be crazy not to. It's not too far off of the highway so if you want to stop for some donuts you can do so whether you're driving at 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon - they're open 24 hours! Aka, the greatest thing ever.

DONUT LOVE! It's cheap, fresh, so delicious, and a great small business. This is the kind of 24 hour joint where you can find old guys sitting at the counter, sipping their coffee and reading their papers at 8 pm on a weeknight. The cashiers are always kind and patient when you're taking forever to *only* choose a dozen different donuts, or asking questions about the flavors. I love that they've survived despite DD being right across the street.

We tried this place based on the hype and yelp reviews - honestly, I don't get it. The baked goods (apple fritter, donuts, brownie - we tried a little of everything) were meh.

I've been frequenting Munster Donut, since it was called Mister Donut...so yeah, a pretty long time. I recently relocated to the Chicago area and while visiting Munster I've picked up donuts on 4 separate occasions. I have not gotten a fresh donut yet! My favorite, the unpretentious iced jelly, has been rock hard, dry and missing all put a hint of jelly. I also tried their eclairs...do not bother. Again, not fresh, barely filled...

Jim G.
Best donuts in the area. Substantial, weighty donuts. When you get a dozen, the box is HEAVY. They make Dunkin Donuts seem like pieces of flavored air. They're delicious, and the coffee is good, too. I'd bring these into my office in the west suburbs and people would be devouring them and asking where they came from. Wish they had a drive-thru.

When I go to Indiana for gas, I have got to stop here, their donuts are everything! The frosted jelly-filled donuts and apple pie slices are to die for. I drove there this weekend thinking I was getting donuts and what do I find?? A closed sign due to someone driving dead smack into the building, damaging the bakery! What am I to do for donuts in the meantime? Hurry up and open please, me and baby need our fix! (7 months pregnant) :)

My husband told me that he stopped at MD on the way to work and raved about the donuts. I felt so bad! This man has lived with me for 7 years and I never took him to Donut Heaven! I think it was my secret, guilty little pleasure. There is no comparison at the across the street franchise or for that matter, any other donut shop I have ever visited. Get the chocolate iced ring. It is fresh and yeasty and soft and chocolaty and OMG I have to run out and get now NOW. BTW - they are open 24/7 and is NON-SMOKING!

I have had sampled donuts all the way from the mighty Willamette to the Susquehanna, from Lake Itasca to the Gulf (I seriously fancy myself somewhat of a connoisseur)-- and I can safely say that Munster Donuts are, if not the finest, tied for first place. The chocolate glazed is a favorite, as is the chocolate cream filled (what an age of gastronomic glory we live in!). The perfect balance of crunchy friedness and soft doughy sweetness. A dozen will set you back a mere seven or eight bucks and will retain their freshness for in excess of 24 hours-- in contrast to many donuts of the storebought varieties, laden with dough conditioners and preservatives, that hardly hold their quality til the end of the day. They even have free wi fi and accept credit cards! They also sell the NWI Times, a noble publication. Coffee is reliably and unspeakably atrocious, as you might expect from a middle-American donut shop.

OMG ... WTF ... NBD ... LOL ... BRB. I am not sure what all those mean, but Munster Donuts is the bomb. In a day and age when everything is Dunkin Donuts (and I like Dunkin) it is a wonder to see there is still room for a Munster Donuts. This is the old fashioned donut shop that I grew up with - used to go to a similar shop on 95th & Western in Chicago. Munster Donuts is a throwback to that time. The donuts are wonderful ... all deep fried ... sometimes a bit on the heavy side ... and always full of sugar. These are the real deal ... if you long for donuts. Nice little counter if you care to stay and eat your calories ... but most are take out delivery. Big window into the fry room for those who like to see their food prepared. Neat old fashioned place.

When I am out this way in the morning, I try and stop here all the time. My children love the donuts. I really like the black coffee. I also like the idea of going to a mom and pop donut shop instead of Dunkin Donuts all the time.

Love and hate this place. I knew the owners, but didn't frequent the place until my kid started working there. I can thank those damn apple fritters for my tight pants. They are heaven. Donuts are hands down phenomenal. I have seen people stand there and wait for their favorite to come out. You can watch them make the donuts too!! The stuff is cheap, so please tip the workers. My son is not yet at minimum wage, so some of them do really appreciate the tips. Shop small... these women who own it are wonderful!

My first visit was great, staff was friendly, donuts hot and fresh and the place was bustling...I kept thinking about those donuts and bugged my boyfriend to take me, well we went one night a couple weeks ago after 10 pm.....We might as well have been standing outside....two workers, one came out from the back like "Oh yeah what?" We bought half a dozen cold as ice donuts....my boyfriend wanted a Boston cream but they didn't have them.....when we pulled out of Munsters parking lot he saw Dunkin Donuts right across the street and looked at me and frowned. Big disappointment.

3 donuts and a cream cheese brownie for 4 bucks. Nice! Open 24 hours with friendly service. A cherry filled donut was just what I craved last night before heading back to Chicago and I got it. If every town had a place like this the world would be a better place.

A cowroker who communtes to Central Illinois where I work will bring these down every month or so. It is my favorite day in the office hands down! Simply the best donuts I've had. I always plan on eating two hut end up eating 3, 4, 5...

3-1/2 stars, really, but yelp made me choose whole numbers only and I honestly can't give MD 4 stars. I realize that there are many fans of MD here. I don't blame them. MD has some very good donuts; so why only 3(1/2) stars? Munster Donut is like Dunkin' x2. I say that b/c from my experience with the growing list of donut shop/bakeries I'm trying, the crust just doesn't measure up to what a hand-made, hand-fried donut has (think of the crust of the sour creme, but a wee bit less as crusty, and you'll get an idea of what I mean.) I don't mean to sour a parade, but the really good old fashions I've had have had a crunchier/crispier crust. All that being said, the inner cake portion of the cake donuts is delicious. The maple frosting is DELICIOUS. The blueberry jelly, luscious. The yeast donuts are good as well. Frosting is a bit on the sweeter side. The crown jewel goes to the apple fritters. They are as large and as round as a grape fruit and they also are filled with the small-chunk filling. On top of all of this, the atmosphere and considerateness I experienced are what I think make the donuts so extraordinary. (Case in point - I order my dozen samplers and one apple fritter. I then order a coffee. I pay. Then I realize I need to get another fritter. I ask if they have any more. None in the case, so the gentleman checks in back. They just made some and the woman, without me even asking, takes the "older" one I had just bought,) and says she's going to replace that so that I have two fresh ones. I've never, EVER experienced that at a Dunkin'. (Doubt if I ever would.) And I don't usually get that at other privately owned places. I'm convinced that the good vibes of the place is tasted in the donuts. Though when all is said and done, for all the places around Chicago, Munster Donut only pulls a 3(1/2) stars with me. I haven't explored NWI in-depth yet, but I'll gamble that Munster Donut is near the top. For all its pluses, Munster Donut is great. On

I went here at 6pm the other night and they were out of the majority of their doughnuts, did I mention they are supposed to be open 24 hrs a day? Not only that, but the ones I bought were stale and had a funny aftertaste. Heat happened to my beloved Munster Doughnuts.

It is very easy to miss this place. As I have driven by for the last 10 years and have only now discovered it's delicious offerings. Yes, I was hung over, but they have real cake donuts covered in chocolate. They have a lot of mouth watering treats that I will be back for as well as the fast friendly service.

So I went here around 1am on a Saturday. I had just finished a long night of gambling and other nonsense over at the Horseshoe Casino and thought that a sweet treat just might take the edge off after being less than lucky. I had read the good reviews for this place and figured I would give it a try. As stated by previous reviewers, this place is open 24 hours a day. If you happen to come here in the middle of the night, you may or may not feel that you are in the Little Donut Shop of Horrors. When I walked into that bathroom - dripping faucet, a slightly rancid smell, and questionable stains on the wall - I thought for sure some giant donut with human qualities and razor sharp teeth was going to get me. But all this changed when I discovered what would be a delightful addition to the drive home from northwest Indiana to the northwest side of the Chi....DONUT ON A MFin' STICK. Maybe you have seen it before, but this totally blew my mind. Everything is better on a stick. This, combined with their signature sour cream donut and a cup of coffee hit the spot and until I checked my checking balance the next day, made me forget about the money I had blown over at the Horseshoe.

Munster Donuts not only have the best donuts in the Midwest but I found out today their customer service is awesome too! I was craving their to die for Pumpkin Donuts so I called just to see if they had any today. Not only did the young lady I spoke to say they had some freshly made but she asked for my name and how many I wanted, when my husband arrived they were packed up with two extra "for the ride home." Awesome donuts, awesome customer service!

Dunkin' is way to COMMERCIAL...and NOT THAT GOOD!!

Want to endear yourself to a bunch of overworked and over-stressed teachers and support staff? Show up on any given Friday with a dozen donuts from Munster Donuts. Faces light up, smiles abound, and moods immediately lighten. It's like Christmas--for less than $7.00. Munster Donuts (Mister Donut if you are truly old school) is a small, local donut shop which has the prescience to be open 24 hours a day because they know, they *know*, that a Munster Donut craving can hit at any time and that, when it hits, it *must* be fulfilled. Think I'm kidding? Fresh donuts all day, every day? Where else are you going to find a dozen of such fresh delectations for less than $10? The chocolate iced ring donuts are a family favorite, though I have never sampled a donut from this shop that doesn't score high marks with me. This is readily evidenced by how quickly I fill up my little punch card which then buys me a free dozen. Serious swoon time. You simply can't find any other place like it. Believe me, I've tried. It sucks to move out of the area and try and find something, anything that measures up to the donuts I've loved since I was a wee tyke. The hopeful anticipation as you order a donut. The promise of that first bite. And then the utter disappointment as you realize that, while this is a decent enough donut, it will never be a Munster Donut. Nearly soul crushing, I can assure you. If you are smart, you will get yourself here today. Now. This minute. Get your keys. We'll wait. Don't worry if it is a long commute. The donuts will be fresh when you get here.

I love Muster Donuts so much I would travel miles just for six. That's just how good they are. My favorite is the strawberry icing soft donut. I'm not a big fan of the cake donuts, but they're really good as well. The price is average, $5 for a dozen depending on the kind of donuts that you pick out. As soon as you walk up to the front door you will immediately smell the the delicious donuts. That's the beauty of it, because you may not even have an appetite for a donut but the smell will draw you in. Hands down they are GREAT!!! I didn't give them five stars because there is another donut shop that is hands down amazing.

Holy crap. My favorite donut place in the whole world. The cream cheese donut is the stuff dreams are made of. Love the variety, the fact that they are open 24 hours and how cheap the place is. I have no clue why anyone would step into the dd across the street. I drive past 3 dd on my way to Munster Donut and I do so with pleasure. Visit Munster Donut and support a local business.

My husband and I get donuts here on the weekends in the morning often. All of them have always been great. The best are the cake donuts they are always fresh when we get them. They service is average nothing to exciting. Most of the time when we go like I said it is in the morning on the weekend so it is busy, so I do not think they are trying hard for customer service just trying to get you in and out. The donuts speak for themselves however.

its nice living in a town where the business is still strong,and its still there after ALL these years. if the doughnuts are fresh,delicious,and competitively priced,i wouldn't think of going anywhere else....and supporting the small business man is good too. ive never had a bad experience here,and I love their doughnuts. I thought it was pretty lame when dunkin doughnuts built their store directly across the street too...lol. if I ever decided to go there,its awkward getting in their parking lot,and the people working in there don't understand you,unless you are talking slow enough for them to understand. im a customer of munster doughnut for 25 yrs almost. as long as I love pastries,its where I go.

Ok, first this place is open 24 hours a day. Yippee. Second, this is old fashioned, 1950s style donut shop. The taste is only beat by the shockingly low prices. We stopped in on a Sunday night and got a dozen donuts, a huge brownie, a huge cinnamon roll, 2 chocolate milks, an iced coffee and a juice - $14.00. Yes, the stereotype is true, we walked in and the 2 other people sitting there - Munster cops. we had to let out a little chuckle JUST TRIED THE BROWNIE AND HAD TO UPDATE MY REVIEW. BEST BROWNIE I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! OMG

I'll add another 5-star review. The donuts here are out of this world. Plus the donut-on-a-stick makes a great little gift. Donuts-on-stix are yummy and seasonally decorated. Do not miss. But ALL the donuts I've had here are great. I like Dunkin Donuts, but not for their donuts. I like Munster Donuts for their donuts. And cookies.

Munster donuts is da Bomb! Great doughnuts and good coffee...Plus side is open 24/7 so if you get that 4 am craving for a dozen sweet treats and a coffee you can get them! There is really no downside its basic good service and good product for people that enjoy that sort of thing.

Read about Munster Donuts here on Yelp as I was planning our trip to 3 Floyds. This place is magical. It feels like a trip back in time to how all donuts shops once were. Counter, display of goodies, locals adding flavor. And the donuts delivered. Favorites were the strawberry glazed, peanut, and the double chocolate. The cream cheese filled was interesting, as was the sour cream. As the man at the counter said, people come on Saturday and drive back for more on Sunday. I believe it.

Picture it. You've just packed down a gyros sandwich, a pile of cheese fries, and a diet pepsi, and now you're really jonesing for a treat. You don't want ice cream, no candy--you want something warm and baked homemade. But it's 8 o'clock and most bakeries are closed. OOH, SUCKS TO BE YOU! So what do you do? Go to the nearest Dunkin Donuts? Heck no! Avoid the belly bomb you get when you knock back a couple of DD chocolate glazed donuts and instead head on over to Munster Donuts. These are the way donuts should be--never greasy, light, but very satisfying. I'd choose a donut from Munster Donut over a slice of cake or pie any day of the week. I have 5 personal favs and an occasional seasonal favorite, as well: 1. The angel--Thick, vanilla or chocolate buttercream bursting through a powdered-sugar coated bismark? Whoaaah. Where do I sign up? 2. Black Raspberry jelly donut--I have an affinity for black raspberry and this is the ONLY place in the tri-state area that in can find a black raspberry-filled donut! 3. Double chocolate--chocolate glazed donut with chocolate icing. How can you go wrong? 4. Strawberry glazed--the BEST strawberry glazed donut I've ever had. This one makes Dunkin Donuts' taste like a pile of puke. 5. Cream cheese brownie---It's not what you think. There is no sign of visible cream cheese on this brownie. I think they use it in the brownie batter, as well as the fudge frosting. Whatever they do, though, this huge brownie for 65-cents is unbelievable--thick, fudgy, and slightly tangy from the presence of cream cheese.

Anyone thinking Munster Donuts(MD) is better than Dunkin Donuts(DD) haven't tasted DD. Not that DD is great either. I would even rate Village Pantry better. Yes. Gas station donuts are better. Stopped in on April 27, 2013 and picked up a dozen donuts at MD. Jellies, creams, and fruit filling. Got home and had a few donuts. They are seriously lacking in filling. The donuts themselves didn't even taste as good as a DD. On the Bavarian, I got through almost 3/4 of the donut before finding any filling. All donuts suffered the lack of filling. These are OK if all you need is a sugar fix and don't care much about taste. I did an experiment on the fruit filled donut(apple). I cut it in half this time...I could not see any filling on either side. I did find the filling all the way to the end on one side. That's a poorly made donut. Do yourself a favor. Go across he street and buy DD. They are not that great either but better than MD. The other thing I noticed about MD was that they just aren't that clean of a shop. Anyone ever look in that donut making room? Things just look ratty in there. I expected people to be smoking in there but luckily they do have a sign on the door that say, "NO SMOKING". Price...About $8 for a dozen($7 and some change). In perspective, I would give DD 3 stars because it is a cleaner store and you get more filling in a donut.

Sharon D.
went there this morning noticed that the baker(guy) in the back area was smearing the icing on the donuts with his bare fingers. Naked dirty hand. I was wondering if this is the normal practice or should he have used a spatula. Or maybe a plastic glove....and a clean uniform might have helped. Nevertheless I drove off and plan to never return. Munster donuts are for the people that don't notice what is going on in the kitchen. Sanitation 101 - never use bare hand to prep food. Millions of people get sick every day from eating in places like this that have no code of ethics.

The best donuts around, no doubt about it. I became a king at my job because of the many dozen I brought in of these. Always fresh, really great service, I'd call ahead, estimate my time, they were ready whenever I arrived. The sour cream donuts look a little strange, but are a must with some good strong coffee. I can't say that I've ever had a bad donut here, even the pink frosted ones, which has been in every dozen I've bought from any donut place, was outstanding. I always wondered who ate those. That would be me, now, I guess. The coffee is not that strong, but it compliments the donuts really well. The counter is just the right height for eating and reading late at night, if you find yourself doing that. Forget the chains, come to Munster Donuts, you will not be disappointed.

Stephanie K.
What can I say? A 24-hour donut shop with old-fashioned counter service and the personality to match. It's paradise! You MUST try their strawberry frosted and their sour cream donuts--simply fantastic!!!! I've been eating their sour cream for years and can't seem to get away from them. After a night of drinking on the town, instead of hanging out at an all-night diner, I go to Munster Donut and grab a couple "holes" with friends.

This place is an institution of donut perfection. They are open 24 hours for your any time of the day or night donut cravings. Seemingly hundreds of donuts to choose from and you can see right into the area where they make all of them by hand. If you're in the area there's no excuse for going to Dunkin when this place is across the street. It simply doesn't get better than this place.

My husband told me that he stopped at MD on the way to work and raved about the donuts. I felt so bad! This man has lived with me for 7 years and I never took him to Donut Heaven! I think it was my secret, guilty little pleasure. There is no comparison at the across the street franchise or for that matter, any other donut shop I have ever visited. Get the chocolate iced ring. It is fresh and yeasty and soft and chocolaty and OMG I have to run out and get now NOW. BTW - they are open 24/7 and is NON-SMOKING!

Best crueller ever, but they should top off cold American coffee FOR FREE! I still left a tip and I will be back for more because this Michigan Whitefish Loved Cruellers toooooooo many! :)

Read about Munster Donuts here on Yelp as I was planning our trip to 3 Floyds. This place is magical. It feels like a trip back in time to how all donuts shops once were. Counter, display of goodies, locals adding flavor. And the donuts delivered. Favorites were the strawberry glazed, peanut, and the double chocolate. The cream cheese filled was interesting, as was the sour cream. As the man at the counter said, people come on Saturday and drive back for more on Sunday. I believe it.

This was my very first job and several members of my family have worked there over the years. I LOVE Mister (ok fine MUNSTER) Donut so much, every time I'm in town to visit I have to fight the urge to go get donuts and coffee there, and I often lose that fight. I was really worried when they put in the Dunkin across the street but there's no way anyone in their right mind would prefer a Dunkin Donut over Mr. Donuts. They are SO good, working there spoiled me on donuts. I just don't think anyone else makes donuts any better. Plus, eating them when they're hot, fresh out of the fryer and vat of sugar glaze - UGH that's the best. Top picks: anything with white icing, marble donuts and donuts on a stick!

No other donut shop, except for Voodoo Donuts in Portland compares. Toasted coconut yeast donuts are the bomb. DIG IT

Let me be upfront and tell you I've never set foot in this place, but I've eaten their donuts many times thanks to Jim M. (Go read his reviews!) and I agree with everyone who raves about them. They're wonderful. When I see Jim walking up to the house with a box from Munster Donuts I go put coffee on and get ready for a very pleasant few hours of good talk, good coffee and great donuts. And I have to say that it's been a long time since I've had a Bismarck or Bavarian cream that wasn't icky-sweet, but the ones from this place manage to walk that fine line. If you're anywhere near Munster Donuts, you really owe it to yourself to make a stop there. You won't be sorry.

I ordered donuts for my son's birthday. Then sent my husband to pick them up. The boxes were labeled incorrectly with wrong last name so he got the wrong order. Mistakes happen all the time, right? No problem...to err is human. So, I merely called the next day to let them know. Then...they say they will make more to make up for this. So, they tell me they will make a re-do for Saturday. I go to pick them up only to be verbally assaulted by the manager who insists that my husband willfully picked up the wrong donuts and then I called and yelled on the phone. None of which is true. So much for making this customer happier. These used to be our favorite donuts, but to verbally assault me in front of no less than 20 other customers is inexcusable. Don't go out of your way for this donut shop.

This place is great, and thankfully have withstood the giant Dunkin Donuts across the street. Coffee is better too!

Best donuts ever. Hands down. Skip Dunkin, go old school. Whatever you like, they got...always fresh. And the hospitality goes as far as the taste. It's worth getting out of the car for.

Picture it. You've just packed down a gyros sandwich, a pile of cheese fries, and a diet pepsi, and now you're really jonesing for a treat. You don't want ice cream, no candy--you want something warm and baked homemade. But it's 8 o'clock and most bakeries are closed. OOH, SUCKS TO BE YOU! So what do you do? Go to the nearest Dunkin Donuts? Heck no! Avoid the belly bomb you get when you knock back a couple of DD chocolate glazed donuts and instead head on over to Munster Donuts. These are the way donuts should be--never greasy, light, but very satisfying. I'd choose a donut from Munster Donut over a slice of cake or pie any day of the week. I have 5 personal favs and an occasional seasonal favorite, as well: 1. The angel--Thick, vanilla or chocolate buttercream bursting through a powdered-sugar coated bismark? Whoaaah. Where do I sign up? 2. Black Raspberry jelly donut--I have an affinity for black raspberry and this is the ONLY place in the tri-state area that in can find a black raspberry-filled donut! 3. Double chocolate--chocolate glazed donut with chocolate icing. How can you go wrong? 4. Strawberry glazed--the BEST strawberry glazed donut I've ever had. This one makes Dunkin Donuts' taste like a pile of puke. 5. Cream cheese brownie---It's not what you think. There is no sign of visible cream cheese on this brownie. I think they use it in the brownie batter, as well as the fudge frosting. Whatever they do, though, this huge brownie for 65-cents is unbelievable--thick, fudgy, and slightly tangy from the presence of cream cheese.

Anyone thinking Munster Donuts(MD) is better than Dunkin Donuts(DD) haven't tasted DD. Not that DD is great either. I would even rate Village Pantry better. Yes. Gas station donuts are better. Stopped in on April 27, 2013 and picked up a dozen donuts at MD. Jellies, creams, and fruit filling. Got home and had a few donuts. They are seriously lacking in filling. The donuts themselves didn't even taste as good as a DD. On the Bavarian, I got through almost 3/4 of the donut before finding any filling. All donuts suffered the lack of filling. These are OK if all you need is a sugar fix and don't care much about taste. I did an experiment on the fruit filled donut(apple). I cut it in half this time...I could not see any filling on either side. I did find the filling all the way to the end on one side. That's a poorly made donut. Do yourself a favor. Go across he street and buy DD. They are not that great either but better than MD. The other thing I noticed about MD was that they just aren't that clean of a shop. Anyone ever look in that donut making room? Things just look ratty in there. I expected people to be smoking in there but luckily they do have a sign on the door that say, "NO SMOKING". Price...About $8 for a dozen($7 and some change). In perspective, I would give DD 3 stars because it is a cleaner store and you get more filling in a donut.

went there this morning noticed that the baker(guy) in the back area was smearing the icing on the donuts with his bare fingers. Naked dirty hand. I was wondering if this is the normal practice or should he have used a spatula. Or maybe a plastic glove....and a clean uniform might have helped. Nevertheless I drove off and plan to never return. Munster donuts are for the people that don't notice what is going on in the kitchen. Sanitation 101 - never use bare hand to prep food. Millions of people get sick every day from eating in places like this that have no code of ethics.

The best donuts around, no doubt about it. I became a king at my job because of the many dozen I brought in of these. Always fresh, really great service, I'd call ahead, estimate my time, they were ready whenever I arrived. The sour cream donuts look a little strange, but are a must with some good strong coffee. I can't say that I've ever had a bad donut here, even the pink frosted ones, which has been in every dozen I've bought from any donut place, was outstanding. I always wondered who ate those. That would be me, now, I guess. The coffee is not that strong, but it compliments the donuts really well. The counter is just the right height for eating and reading late at night, if you find yourself doing that. Forget the chains, come to Munster Donuts, you will not be disappointed.

What can I say? A 24-hour donut shop with old-fashioned counter service and the personality to match. It's paradise! You MUST try their strawberry frosted and their sour cream donuts--simply fantastic!!!! I've been eating their sour cream for years and can't seem to get away from them. After a night of drinking on the town, instead of hanging out at an all-night diner, I go to Munster Donut and grab a couple "holes" with friends.

irfan m.
One of the best donuts you will ever have! I think Mhhhh..mh..mmm really good.
Sandi M.
Omg!! I have lived in Dyer Indiana for 20 years and I just had my first Munster Donut(s) about two weeks ago and I'm still pondering why in the heck it took me so long to go there. I have tried the chocolate glazed, the pumpkin, the sour cream, and the maple glaze (so far). If you eat a DD after trying a Munster donut you'll never ever go back to DD again. People told me this for years, but I didn't believe it until I tried it for myself. I'm not going to write and long drawn out review, all I'm gonna say is go try this place out...like Yesterday!!!
(5)Christian K.
I get a sweet tooth sometimes(all the time) and I am really surprised that I haven't been to Munster Donuts before 2 weeks ago. You know how there's that saying: "Fast, Good or Cheap... Pick two."???I don't know HOW they did it, but they managed to give us all Three. When pulling in off of Calumet Ave. there is an old, unremarkable sign that simply says "Munster Donut", I walk up to an old, unremarkable building... I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. The inside is simple, there are some stools and a bar area to sit at, a newspaper and periodical stand by the door, and if you look to the left and there's a good sized window into the production area. This isn't a fancy little place, it's a Form follows Function place. And the function is AMAZAZING! I bought 6 donuts, 30 donut holes, a small coffee and a Vanilla Icing donut for (this isn't a typo) just a bit over $8.00! Bow Ties, (Vanilla) Long John, Apple Fritters, Maple Pecan, Cake Donut with Vanilla Icing, Plain and Powdered Donut Holes and of course their Coffee. I tried at least a bit of each, after which I was one milligram of glucose away from having a sugar induced Rager. I swear on my Yelpy little heart that these are THE BEST friggin' donuts and coffee I've had in my life! Ever. Seriously.
(5)Lakan D.
Alright, the donuts are now $0.86 but it's still a good price. If you get a half dozen you'll only end up paying $4.00, it is AWESOME. The donuts are delicious, just as they were before. Love the angel creams and jelly-filled
(4)Erika Chloe A.
This place always has the freshest donuts. I've been here several times and I'm never disappointed.
(5)Michelle G.
We tried this place based on the hype and yelp reviews - honestly, I don't get it. The baked goods (apple fritter, donuts, brownie - we tried a little of everything) were meh. I'll give it a star or two for nostalgia because it looks like the place hasn't changed an inch in 50 years, but that's about it.
(1)Becky B.
I've been frequenting Munster Donut, since it was called Mister Donut...so yeah, a pretty long time. I recently relocated to the Chicago area and while visiting Munster I've picked up donuts on 4 separate occasions. I have not gotten a fresh donut yet! My favorite, the unpretentious iced jelly, has been rock hard, dry and missing all put a hint of jelly. I also tried their eclairs...do not bother. Again, not fresh, barely filled...
(2)Nat Z.
I have had sampled donuts all the way from the mighty Willamette to the Susquehanna, from Lake Itasca to the Gulf (I seriously fancy myself somewhat of a connoisseur)-- and I can safely say that Munster Donuts are, if not the finest, tied for first place. The chocolate glazed is a favorite, as is the chocolate cream filled (what an age of gastronomic glory we live in!). The perfect balance of crunchy friedness and soft doughy sweetness. A dozen will set you back a mere seven or eight bucks and will retain their freshness for in excess of 24 hours-- in contrast to many donuts of the storebought varieties, laden with dough conditioners and preservatives, that hardly hold their quality til the end of the day. They even have free wi fi and accept credit cards! They also sell the NWI Times, a noble publication. Coffee is reliably and unspeakably atrocious, as you might expect from a middle-American donut shop.
(5)Rick B.
OMG ... WTF ... NBD ... LOL ... BRB. I am not sure what all those mean, but Munster Donuts is the bomb. In a day and age when everything is Dunkin Donuts (and I like Dunkin) it is a wonder to see there is still room for a Munster Donuts. This is the old fashioned donut shop that I grew up with - used to go to a similar shop on 95th & Western in Chicago. Munster Donuts is a throwback to that time. The donuts are wonderful ... all deep fried ... sometimes a bit on the heavy side ... and always full of sugar. These are the real deal ... if you long for donuts. Nice little counter if you care to stay and eat your calories ... but most are take out delivery. Big window into the fry room for those who like to see their food prepared. Neat old fashioned place.
(4)Greg D.
When I am out this way in the morning, I try and stop here all the time. My children love the donuts. I really like the black coffee. I also like the idea of going to a mom and pop donut shop instead of Dunkin Donuts all the time.
(5)Angela S.
Love and hate this place. I knew the owners, but didn't frequent the place until my kid started working there. I can thank those damn apple fritters for my tight pants. They are heaven. Donuts are hands down phenomenal. I have seen people stand there and wait for their favorite to come out. You can watch them make the donuts too!! The stuff is cheap, so please tip the workers. My son is not yet at minimum wage, so some of them do really appreciate the tips. Shop small... these women who own it are wonderful!
(5)Sharon P.
My first visit was great, staff was friendly, donuts hot and fresh and the place was bustling...I kept thinking about those donuts and bugged my boyfriend to take me, well we went one night a couple weeks ago after 10 pm.....We might as well have been standing outside....two workers, one came out from the back like "Oh yeah what?" We bought half a dozen cold as ice donuts....my boyfriend wanted a Boston cream but they didn't have them.....when we pulled out of Munsters parking lot he saw Dunkin Donuts right across the street and looked at me and frowned. Big disappointment.
(2)Shay H.
Omg amazing!!!! Why haven't I heard of this place before!! Will never eat dunkin donuts again! Finally a place that has fresh donuts! Love it love it
(5)Alyssa H.
I ordered 12 cupcakes for a co-workers birthday and man, were they good! At $1.50 a piece, some may think that's a little pricey, but they're HUGE!

been into homemade donuts lately. These are awwwsommmmeeeee!!!!! The smell of fried yeast will make anyone salivate. Bought the bear claw, German chocolate, and glazed(honey dip). These are yummy pillowy donuts that brought a smile to my face. The customer service staff was pleasant too. Love this local spot.
(5)Mike G.
Yup, so good. They sell donuts, magnificently delicious donuts. What else can I say? Coffee was mediocre but I want donuts. There is a minimum order to use credit cards.
(4)John T.
It never closes!!! The donuts are amazing and super cheap! I absolutely love this place. Honestly, no matter the time of day you go, there is always a donut there to satisfy your sweet tooth! Even the odd sounding sour cream donuts with powdered sugar are good. My favorite are the chocolate angels and apple fritters. This place does it right and has been doing so for many years. They even have some counter space for those that crave nostalgic feelings. 7.99 for a dozen donuts is a steal!
(5)Natalie G.
Step aside, DD... you can't get a better doughnut anywhere else than Munster Donuts. It's a good thing I don't live close by or I'd be living on these sugary goodies! The best part is the fantastic mix of options. My husband is a traditional glazed type of guy while I love cake donuts so both of us can leave happy. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend old fashioned and toasted coconut. Fantastic!

Best donuts in the area. Substantial, weighty donuts. When you get a dozen, the box is HEAVY. They make Dunkin Donuts seem like pieces of flavored air. They're delicious, and the coffee is good, too. I'd bring these into my office in the west suburbs and people would be devouring them and asking where they came from. Wish they had a drive-thru.

(4)Courtney S.
When I go to Indiana for gas, I have got to stop here, their donuts are everything! The frosted jelly-filled donuts and apple pie slices are to die for. I drove there this weekend thinking I was getting donuts and what do I find?? A closed sign due to someone driving dead smack into the building, damaging the bakery! What am I to do for donuts in the meantime? Hurry up and open please, me and baby need our fix! (7 months pregnant) :)
(5)Tamara W.
Munster Donuts not only have the best donuts in the Midwest but I found out today their customer service is awesome too! I was craving their to die for Pumpkin Donuts so I called just to see if they had any today. Not only did the young lady I spoke to say they had some freshly made but she asked for my name and how many I wanted, when my husband arrived they were packed up with two extra "for the ride home." Awesome donuts, awesome customer service!
(5)Kay J.
My husband told me that he stopped at MD on the way to work and raved about the donuts. I felt so bad! This man has lived with me for 7 years and I never took him to Donut Heaven! I think it was my secret, guilty little pleasure. There is no comparison at the across the street franchise or for that matter, any other donut shop I have ever visited. Get the chocolate iced ring. It is fresh and yeasty and soft and chocolaty and OMG I have to run out and get now NOW. BTW - they are open 24/7 and is NON-SMOKING!

Want to endear yourself to a bunch of overworked and over-stressed teachers and support staff? Show up on any given Friday with a dozen donuts from Munster Donuts. Faces light up, smiles abound, and moods immediately lighten. It's like Christmas--for less than $7.00. Munster Donuts (Mister Donut if you are truly old school) is a small, local donut shop which has the prescience to be open 24 hours a day because they know, they *know*, that a Munster Donut craving can hit at any time and that, when it hits, it *must* be fulfilled. Think I'm kidding? Fresh donuts all day, every day? Where else are you going to find a dozen of such fresh delectations for less than $10? The chocolate iced ring donuts are a family favorite, though I have never sampled a donut from this shop that doesn't score high marks with me. This is readily evidenced by how quickly I fill up my little punch card which then buys me a free dozen. Serious swoon time. You simply can't find any other place like it. Believe me, I've tried. It sucks to move out of the area and try and find something, anything that measures up to the donuts I've loved since I was a wee tyke. The hopeful anticipation as you order a donut. The promise of that first bite. And then the utter disappointment as you realize that, while this is a decent enough donut, it will never be a Munster Donut. Nearly soul crushing, I can assure you. If you are smart, you will get yourself here today. Now. This minute. Get your keys. We'll wait. Don't worry if it is a long commute. The donuts will be fresh when you get here.

Donuts and coffee has never been so good. This is how donuts and coffee should always, always, always taste. The old-fashioned diner ambience of the little shop primes the memories of my grandpa and me eating donuts at the local shop when I was still shorter than five feet tall (I'm now 6'4 - quite a bit taller and older). It's not a dunkin donuts and thank goodness for that, because although I love my dunkin donuts I love some truly authentic donuts and coffee. And that's what you will get here - authenticity to the max. When you walk into the shop and look to the left you can see people making the donuts right then and there. But the smell of the shop is probably one of the best in the world. But you all want to know about the donuts don't you? Well, the donuts have just the right sweetness and they are extremely fluffy! The donuts are actually quite big and very cheap. Why wouldn't you wander into this heavenly shop when you can get a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious delicious dozen of donuts for cheap? You'd be crazy not to. It's not too far off of the highway so if you want to stop for some donuts you can do so whether you're driving at 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon - they're open 24 hours! Aka, the greatest thing ever.
(5)genevieve k.
DONUT LOVE! It's cheap, fresh, so delicious, and a great small business. This is the kind of 24 hour joint where you can find old guys sitting at the counter, sipping their coffee and reading their papers at 8 pm on a weeknight. The cashiers are always kind and patient when you're taking forever to *only* choose a dozen different donuts, or asking questions about the flavors. I love that they've survived despite DD being right across the street.
(5)Anthony U.
Not the prettiest place, not the friendliest place, and not the most organized place. But their donuts are out of this world. Only 8/10th of a mile south off 80/94 on Calumet ave makes it very easy to get to from most anywhere. If you happen to be sitting in wretched traffic it's a great excuse to get off the expressway for a quick donut stop. I've timed it and can get off the expressway, hit Munster Donuts, and back to the expressway in under five minutes. I've occasionally been here when there isn't a single donut for sale or another time just two varieties. More often there is a choice of at least 25 to 30 different donut choices and they're always fresh and great tasting. While I've found the jelly filled and the chocolate topped Bismarcks to be the best, I can honestly say I've not had a bad donut. Great flavors and even a nice rotation of special flavors like the current Apple Spice filled donut that wasn't too sweet and had real apples inside, not just a flavored goo. The staff don't excel at providing warm and fuzzy service but they get the job done quickly.

(5)Katie S.
Stopped in while my husband was filling up the gas tank at the station next door. For a Sunday afternoon, they had a huge variety left. So far, I've only tried the toasted coconut and the vanilla angel cream. Both delicious and can't be beat on price. We frequent some doughnut places in Wicker Park and are used to paying $3.25 per doughnut, so I was really pleased to get a half dozen for just a buck more here. Definitely worth the quick stop off the interstate if you have a few minutes to spare.
(4)Susan T.
OMG ! If you want GREAT, FANTASTIC, Homemade donuts - then this is your place. After going here we never even mention that other place (what was their name??) Munster Donuts is the bomb..... I love the pumpkin warm it up a bit and have that with coffee.....yum He gets anything with chocolate. The donuts are always fresh, always tasty and always well gone !! LOL The staff is great and they do try to get you in and out, the hardest part is choosing.
(5)Kelley B.
The cream cheese doughnut is so delicious. I bought a half dozen and only paid 4 bucks. I will def be back this week. The glaze was great too especially with a glass of milk.

But the smell of the shop is probably one of the best in the world. But you all want to know about the donuts don't you? Well, the donuts have just the right sweetness and they are extremely fluffy! The donuts are actually quite big and very cheap. Why wouldn't you wander into this heavenly shop when you can get a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious delicious dozen of donuts for cheap? You'd be crazy not to. It's not too far off of the highway so if you want to stop for some donuts you can do so whether you're driving at 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon - they're open 24 hours! Aka, the greatest thing ever.

DONUT LOVE! It's cheap, fresh, so delicious, and a great small business. This is the kind of 24 hour joint where you can find old guys sitting at the counter, sipping their coffee and reading their papers at 8 pm on a weeknight. The cashiers are always kind and patient when you're taking forever to *only* choose a dozen different donuts, or asking questions about the flavors. I love that they've survived despite DD being right across the street.

Dunkin' is way to COMMERCIAL...and NOT THAT GOOD!! Munster Donut is A GREAT LOCAL SPOT...I take my daughter in there all the time for their donut on a stick and a cho. milk...it's TOTAL diner vibe...relaxed with a GREAT VARIETY...you can see them make the donuts fresh through the window...I love the brownies.....a great stop for a snack at any time of day...plus..it has A GREAT LOCAL VIBE!!! A MUST TASTE!!

Picture it. You've just packed down a gyros sandwich, a pile of cheese fries, and a diet pepsi, and now you're really jonesing for a treat. You don't want ice cream, no candy--you want something warm and baked homemade. But it's 8 o'clock and most bakeries are closed. OOH, SUCKS TO BE YOU! So what do you do? Go to the nearest Dunkin Donuts? Heck no! Avoid the belly bomb you get when you knock back a couple of DD chocolate glazed donuts and instead head on over to Munster Donuts. These are the way donuts should be--never greasy, light, but very satisfying. I'd choose a donut from Munster Donut over a slice of cake or pie any day of the week. I have 5 personal favs and an occasional seasonal favorite, as well: 1. The angel--Thick, vanilla or chocolate buttercream bursting through a powdered-sugar coated bismark? Whoaaah. Where do I sign up? 2. Black Raspberry jelly donut--I have an affinity for black raspberry and this is the ONLY place in the tri-state area that in can find a black raspberry-filled donut! 3. Double chocolate--chocolate glazed donut with chocolate icing. How can you go wrong? 4. Strawberry glazed--the BEST strawberry glazed donut I've ever had. This one makes Dunkin Donuts' taste like a pile of puke. 5. Cream cheese brownie---It's not what you think. There is no sign of visible cream cheese on this brownie. I think they use it in the brownie batter, as well as the fudge frosting. Whatever they do, though, this huge brownie for 65-cents is unbelievable--thick, fudgy, and slightly tangy from the presence of cream cheese.

Anyone thinking Munster Donuts(MD) is better than Dunkin Donuts(DD) haven't tasted DD. Not that DD is great either. I would even rate Village Pantry better. Yes. Gas station donuts are better. Stopped in on April 27, 2013 and picked up a dozen donuts at MD. Jellies, creams, and fruit filling. Got home and had a few donuts. They are seriously lacking in filling. The donuts themselves didn't even taste as good as a DD. On the Bavarian, I got through almost 3/4 of the donut before finding any filling. All donuts suffered the lack of filling. These are OK if all you need is a sugar fix and don't care much about taste. I did an experiment on the fruit filled donut(apple). I cut it in half this time...I could not see any filling on either side. I did find the filling all the way to the end on one side. That's a poorly made donut. Do yourself a favor. Go across he street and buy DD. They are not that great either but better than MD. The other thing I noticed about MD was that they just aren't that clean of a shop. Anyone ever look in that donut making room? Things just look ratty in there. I expected people to be smoking in there but luckily they do have a sign on the door that say, "NO SMOKING". Price...About $8 for a dozen($7 and some change). In perspective, I would give DD 3 stars because it is a cleaner store and you get more filling in a donut.
(2)Sharon D.
went there this morning noticed that the baker(guy) in the back area was smearing the icing on the donuts with his bare fingers. Naked dirty hand. I was wondering if this is the normal practice or should he have used a spatula. Or maybe a plastic glove....and a clean uniform might have helped. Nevertheless I drove off and plan to never return. Munster donuts are for the people that don't notice what is going on in the kitchen. Sanitation 101 - never use bare hand to prep food. Millions of people get sick every day from eating in places like this that have no code of ethics.
(1)Jim M.
The best donuts around, no doubt about it. I became a king at my job because of the many dozen I brought in of these. Always fresh, really great service, I'd call ahead, estimate my time, they were ready whenever I arrived. The sour cream donuts look a little strange, but are a must with some good strong coffee. I can't say that I've ever had a bad donut here, even the pink frosted ones, which has been in every dozen I've bought from any donut place, was outstanding. I always wondered who ate those. That would be me, now, I guess. The coffee is not that strong, but it compliments the donuts really well. The counter is just the right height for eating and reading late at night, if you find yourself doing that. Forget the chains, come to Munster Donuts, you will not be disappointed.
(5)Stephanie K.
What can I say? A 24-hour donut shop with old-fashioned counter service and the personality to match. It's paradise! You MUST try their strawberry frosted and their sour cream donuts--simply fantastic!!!! I've been eating their sour cream for years and can't seem to get away from them. After a night of drinking on the town, instead of hanging out at an all-night diner, I go to Munster Donut and grab a couple "holes" with friends.
(5)irfan m.
One of the best donuts you will ever have! I think Mhhhh..mh..mmm really good.
(5)Brian C.
3-1/2 stars, really, but yelp made me choose whole numbers only and I honestly can't give MD 4 stars. I realize that there are many fans of MD here. I don't blame them. MD has some very good donuts; so why only 3(1/2) stars? Munster Donut is like Dunkin' x2. I say that b/c from my experience with the growing list of donut shop/bakeries I'm trying, the crust just doesn't measure up to what a hand-made, hand-fried donut has (think of the crust of the sour creme, but a wee bit less as crusty, and you'll get an idea of what I mean.) I don't mean to sour a parade, but the really good old fashions I've had have had a crunchier/crispier crust. All that being said, the inner cake portion of the cake donuts is delicious. The maple frosting is DELICIOUS. The blueberry jelly, luscious. The yeast donuts are good as well. Frosting is a bit on the sweeter side. The crown jewel goes to the apple fritters. They are as large and as round as a grape fruit and they also are filled with the small-chunk filling. On top of all of this, the atmosphere and considerateness I experienced are what I think make the donuts so extraordinary. (Case in point - I order my dozen samplers and one apple fritter. I then order a coffee. I pay. Then I realize I need to get another fritter. I ask if they have any more. None in the case, so the gentleman checks in back. They just made some and the woman, without me even asking, takes the "older" one I had just bought,) and says she's going to replace that so that I have two fresh ones. I've never, EVER experienced that at a Dunkin'. (Doubt if I ever would.) And I don't usually get that at other privately owned places. I'm convinced that the good vibes of the place is tasted in the donuts. Though when all is said and done, for all the places around Chicago, Munster Donut only pulls a 3(1/2) stars with me. I haven't explored NWI in-depth yet, but I'll gamble that Munster Donut is near the top. For all its pluses, Munster Donut is great. On
(3)Lois A.
3 donuts and a cream cheese brownie for 4 bucks. Nice! Open 24 hours with friendly service. A cherry filled donut was just what I craved last night before heading back to Chicago and I got it. If every town had a place like this the world would be a better place.
(4)Mary B.
THE best donuts around, DD does not compare to MD. I work right down the road from this place, so I have to be careful!! Delish.
(5)Kris K.
This is the only place I buy donuts! Try the do-nut on a stick for the kids, they LOVE it! I like the coconut donuts myself.
(5)Harini P.
I went here at 6pm the other night and they were out of the majority of their doughnuts, did I mention they are supposed to be open 24 hrs a day? Not only that, but the ones I bought were stale and had a funny aftertaste. Heat happened to my beloved Munster Doughnuts.
(1)Steven M.
It is very easy to miss this place. As I have driven by for the last 10 years and have only now discovered it's delicious offerings. Yes, I was hung over, but they have real cake donuts covered in chocolate. They have a lot of mouth watering treats that I will be back for as well as the fast friendly service.
(5)Lisa C.
So I went here around 1am on a Saturday. I had just finished a long night of gambling and other nonsense over at the Horseshoe Casino and thought that a sweet treat just might take the edge off after being less than lucky. I had read the good reviews for this place and figured I would give it a try. As stated by previous reviewers, this place is open 24 hours a day. If you happen to come here in the middle of the night, you may or may not feel that you are in the Little Donut Shop of Horrors. When I walked into that bathroom - dripping faucet, a slightly rancid smell, and questionable stains on the wall - I thought for sure some giant donut with human qualities and razor sharp teeth was going to get me. But all this changed when I discovered what would be a delightful addition to the drive home from northwest Indiana to the northwest side of the Chi....DONUT ON A MFin' STICK. Maybe you have seen it before, but this totally blew my mind. Everything is better on a stick. This, combined with their signature sour cream donut and a cup of coffee hit the spot and until I checked my checking balance the next day, made me forget about the money I had blown over at the Horseshoe.
(4)Joseph P.
This place is an institution of donut perfection. They are open 24 hours for your any time of the day or night donut cravings. Seemingly hundreds of donuts to choose from and you can see right into the area where they make all of them by hand. If you're in the area there's no excuse for going to Dunkin when this place is across the street. It simply doesn't get better than this place.
(5)Ted B.
They do not have a big selection but the freshness and quality of the food is 5 star and the stuff on the primo racks at the bottom like the brownies and cinnamon rolls can't be beat by anybody around.
(5)Jay C.
I love Muster Donuts so much I would travel miles just for six. That's just how good they are. My favorite is the strawberry icing soft donut. I'm not a big fan of the cake donuts, but they're really good as well. The price is average, $5 for a dozen depending on the kind of donuts that you pick out. As soon as you walk up to the front door you will immediately smell the the delicious donuts. That's the beauty of it, because you may not even have an appetite for a donut but the smell will draw you in. Hands down they are GREAT!!! I didn't give them five stars because there is another donut shop that is hands down amazing.
(4)Jose G.
Holy crap. My favorite donut place in the whole world. The cream cheese donut is the stuff dreams are made of. Love the variety, the fact that they are open 24 hours and how cheap the place is. I have no clue why anyone would step into the dd across the street. I drive past 3 dd on my way to Munster Donut and I do so with pleasure. Visit Munster Donut and support a local business.
(5)Kara P.
My husband and I get donuts here on the weekends in the morning often. All of them have always been great. The best are the cake donuts they are always fresh when we get them. They service is average nothing to exciting. Most of the time when we go like I said it is in the morning on the weekend so it is busy, so I do not think they are trying hard for customer service just trying to get you in and out. The donuts speak for themselves however.
(5)Pete W.
its nice living in a town where the business is still strong,and its still there after ALL these years. if the doughnuts are fresh,delicious,and competitively priced,i wouldn't think of going anywhere else....and supporting the small business man is good too. ive never had a bad experience here,and I love their doughnuts. I thought it was pretty lame when dunkin doughnuts built their store directly across the street too...lol. if I ever decided to go there,its awkward getting in their parking lot,and the people working in there don't understand you,unless you are talking slow enough for them to understand. im a customer of munster doughnut for 25 yrs almost. as long as I love pastries,its where I go.
(5)Jennifer G.
Ok, first this place is open 24 hours a day. Yippee. Second, this is old fashioned, 1950s style donut shop. The taste is only beat by the shockingly low prices. We stopped in on a Sunday night and got a dozen donuts, a huge brownie, a huge cinnamon roll, 2 chocolate milks, an iced coffee and a juice - $14.00. Yes, the stereotype is true, we walked in and the 2 other people sitting there - Munster cops. we had to let out a little chuckle JUST TRIED THE BROWNIE AND HAD TO UPDATE MY REVIEW. BEST BROWNIE I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! OMG
(4)Merrill N.
I'll add another 5-star review. The donuts here are out of this world. Plus the donut-on-a-stick makes a great little gift. Donuts-on-stix are yummy and seasonally decorated. Do not miss. But ALL the donuts I've had here are great. I like Dunkin Donuts, but not for their donuts. I like Munster Donuts for their donuts. And cookies.
(5)Don D.
Munster donuts is da Bomb! Great doughnuts and good coffee...Plus side is open 24/7 so if you get that 4 am craving for a dozen sweet treats and a coffee you can get them! There is really no downside its basic good service and good product for people that enjoy that sort of thing.
(5)Leyla A.
Best crueller ever, but they should top off cold American coffee FOR FREE! I still left a tip and I will be back for more because this Michigan Whitefish Loved Cruellers toooooooo many! :)
(5)Melanie B.
Read about Munster Donuts here on Yelp as I was planning our trip to 3 Floyds. This place is magical. It feels like a trip back in time to how all donuts shops once were. Counter, display of goodies, locals adding flavor. And the donuts delivered. Favorites were the strawberry glazed, peanut, and the double chocolate. The cream cheese filled was interesting, as was the sour cream. As the man at the counter said, people come on Saturday and drive back for more on Sunday. I believe it.
(5)Missy J.
This rating is more about the selection of items than the doughnuts themselves. Specifically the fact that 3 out of 4 times I go there to get chocolate and/or vanilla angels they are out! Ok...so I am going between 5-11 pm but I eat doughnuts for dessert...not breakfast. :) Please, please, please keep those two doughnut types stocked more often. Your other doughnuts are good...but those angels are the reason why I (and many of my friends) go to Munster Donut!
(3)Anthony U.
Not the prettiest place, not the friendliest place, and not the most organized place. But their donuts are out of this world. Only 8/10th of a mile south off 80/94 on Calumet ave makes it very easy to get to from most anywhere. If you happen to be sitting in wretched traffic it's a great excuse to get off the expressway for a quick donut stop. I've timed it and can get off the expressway, hit Munster Donuts, and back to the expressway in under five minutes. I've occasionally been here when there isn't a single donut for sale or another time just two varieties. More often there is a choice of at least 25 to 30 different donut choices and they're always fresh and great tasting. While I've found the jelly filled and the chocolate topped Bismarcks to be the best, I can honestly say I've not had a bad donut. Great flavors and even a nice rotation of special flavors like the current Apple Spice filled donut that wasn't too sweet and had real apples inside, not just a flavored goo. The staff don't excel at providing warm and fuzzy service but they get the job done quickly.
(4)Ashley C.
UGH! I miss this place, the BEST donuts around!
(5)Patty F.
Best donuts around!!! Good prices!! good variety!!! You won't be disappointed!!! It's a long drive for us to go here but we just love them!
(5)Chris T.
Best donuts!!! Live in Chicago and was heading to three floyds brewery. Stopped there after to grab some donuts before heading home.
(5)Katie S.
Stopped in while my husband was filling up the gas tank at the station next door. For a Sunday afternoon, they had a huge variety left. So far, I've only tried the toasted coconut and the vanilla angel cream. Both delicious and can't be beat on price. We frequent some doughnut places in Wicker Park and are used to paying $3.25 per doughnut, so I was really pleased to get a half dozen for just a buck more here. Definitely worth the quick stop off the interstate if you have a few minutes to spare.
(4)Greg D.
When I am out this way in the morning, I try and stop here all the time. My children love the donuts. I really like the black coffee. I also like the idea of going to a mom and pop donut shop instead of Dunkin Donuts all the time.
(5)Angela S.
Love and hate this place. I knew the owners, but didn't frequent the place until my kid started working there. I can thank those damn apple fritters for my tight pants. They are heaven. Donuts are hands down phenomenal. I have seen people stand there and wait for their favorite to come out. You can watch them make the donuts too!! The stuff is cheap, so please tip the workers. My son is not yet at minimum wage, so some of them do really appreciate the tips. Shop small... these women who own it are wonderful!

OMG ! If you want GREAT, FANTASTIC, Homemade donuts - then this is your place. After going here we never even mention that other place (what was their name??) Munster Donuts is the bomb..... I love the pumpkin warm it up a bit and have that with coffee.....yum He gets anything with chocolate. The donuts are always fresh, always tasty and always well gone !! LOL The staff is great and they do try to get you in and out, the hardest part is choosing.
(5)Leslie L.
Oh my goodness!! Why in God's name haven't I tried this sooner? Delicious!! Oh wow! I went in with my hubby this evening and had a chocolate angel tear? He had a cruller. So good. I'll be back
(5)Sandi M.
Omg!! I have lived in Dyer Indiana for 20 years and I just had my first Munster Donut(s) about two weeks ago and I'm still pondering why in the heck it took me so long to go there. I have tried the chocolate glazed, the pumpkin, the sour cream, and the maple glaze (so far). If you eat a DD after trying a Munster donut you'll never ever go back to DD again. People told me this for years, but I didn't believe it until I tried it for myself. I'm not going to write and long drawn out review, all I'm gonna say is go try this place out...like Yesterday!!!
(5)Christian K.
I get a sweet tooth sometimes(all the time) and I am really surprised that I haven't been to Munster Donuts before 2 weeks ago. You know how there's that saying: "Fast, Good or Cheap... Pick two."???I don't know HOW they did it, but they managed to give us all Three. When pulling in off of Calumet Ave. there is an old, unremarkable sign that simply says "Munster Donut", I walk up to an old, unremarkable building... I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. The inside is simple, there are some stools and a bar area to sit at, a newspaper and periodical stand by the door, and if you look to the left and there's a good sized window into the production area. This isn't a fancy little place, it's a Form follows Function place. And the function is AMAZAZING! I bought 6 donuts, 30 donut holes, a small coffee and a Vanilla Icing donut for (this isn't a typo) just a bit over $8.00! Bow Ties, (Vanilla) Long John, Apple Fritters, Maple Pecan, Cake Donut with Vanilla Icing, Plain and Powdered Donut Holes and of course their Coffee. I tried at least a bit of each, after which I was one milligram of glucose away from having a sugar induced Rager. I swear on my Yelpy little heart that these are THE BEST friggin' donuts and coffee I've had in my life! Ever. Seriously.
(5)Lakan D.
Alright, the donuts are now $0.86 but it's still a good price. If you get a half dozen you'll only end up paying $4.00, it is AWESOME. The donuts are delicious, just as they were before. Love the angel creams and jelly-filled
(4)Erika Chloe A.
This place always has the freshest donuts. I've been here several times and I'm never disappointed.

This was my very first job and several members of my family have worked there over the years. I LOVE Mister (ok fine MUNSTER) Donut so much, every time I'm in town to visit I have to fight the urge to go get donuts and coffee there, and I often lose that fight. I was really worried when they put in the Dunkin across the street but there's no way anyone in their right mind would prefer a Dunkin Donut over Mr. Donuts. They are SO good, working there spoiled me on donuts. I just don't think anyone else makes donuts any better. Plus, eating them when they're hot, fresh out of the fryer and vat of sugar glaze - UGH that's the best. Top picks: anything with white icing, marble donuts and donuts on a stick!
(5)Jrugburn R.
No other donut shop, except for Voodoo Donuts in Portland compares. Toasted coconut yeast donuts are the bomb. DIG IT
(5)Jean C.
Let me be upfront and tell you I've never set foot in this place, but I've eaten their donuts many times thanks to Jim M. (Go read his reviews!) and I agree with everyone who raves about them. They're wonderful. When I see Jim walking up to the house with a box from Munster Donuts I go put coffee on and get ready for a very pleasant few hours of good talk, good coffee and great donuts. And I have to say that it's been a long time since I've had a Bismarck or Bavarian cream that wasn't icky-sweet, but the ones from this place manage to walk that fine line. If you're anywhere near Munster Donuts, you really owe it to yourself to make a stop there. You won't be sorry.
(5)Bridget L.
I ordered donuts for my son's birthday. Then sent my husband to pick them up. The boxes were labeled incorrectly with wrong last name so he got the wrong order. Mistakes happen all the time, right? No problem...to err is human. So, I merely called the next day to let them know. Then...they say they will make more to make up for this. So, they tell me they will make a re-do for Saturday. I go to pick them up only to be verbally assaulted by the manager who insists that my husband willfully picked up the wrong donuts and then I called and yelled on the phone. None of which is true. So much for making this customer happier. These used to be our favorite donuts, but to verbally assault me in front of no less than 20 other customers is inexcusable. Don't go out of your way for this donut shop.
(1)Michael B.
This place is great, and thankfully have withstood the giant Dunkin Donuts across the street. Coffee is better too!
(5)Don Q.
Still awesome... Keep up the good work MD!
(5)Julie M.
Best donuts ever. Hands down. Skip Dunkin, go old school. Whatever you like, they got...always fresh. And the hospitality goes as far as the taste. It's worth getting out of the car for.
(5)Natalie G.
Step aside, DD... you can't get a better doughnut anywhere else than Munster Donuts. It's a good thing I don't live close by or I'd be living on these sugary goodies! The best part is the fantastic mix of options. My husband is a traditional glazed type of guy while I love cake donuts so both of us can leave happy. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend old fashioned and toasted coconut. Fantastic!
(5)Chan C.
been into homemade donuts lately. These are awwwsommmmeeeee!!!!! The smell of fried yeast will make anyone salivate. Bought the bear claw, German chocolate, and glazed(honey dip). These are yummy pillowy donuts that brought a smile to my face. The customer service staff was pleasant too. Love this local spot.
(5)John T.
It never closes!!! The donuts are amazing and super cheap! I absolutely love this place. Honestly, no matter the time of day you go, there is always a donut there to satisfy your sweet tooth! Even the odd sounding sour cream donuts with powdered sugar are good. My favorite are the chocolate angels and apple fritters. This place does it right and has been doing so for many years. They even have some counter space for those that crave nostalgic feelings. 7.99 for a dozen donuts is a steal!
(5)Mike G.
Yup, so good. They sell donuts, magnificently delicious donuts. What else can I say? Coffee was mediocre but I want donuts. There is a minimum order to use credit cards.
(4)Ashley C.
UGH! I miss this place, the BEST donuts around!
(5)Lauren K.
Donuts and coffee has never been so good. This is how donuts and coffee should always, always, always taste. The old-fashioned diner ambience of the little shop primes the memories of my grandpa and me eating donuts at the local shop when I was still shorter than five feet tall (I'm now 6'4 - quite a bit taller and older). It's not a dunkin donuts and thank goodness for that, because although I love my dunkin donuts I love some truly authentic donuts and coffee. And that's what you will get here - authenticity to the max. When you walk into the shop and look to the left you can see people making the donuts right then and there. But the smell of the shop is probably one of the best in the world. But you all want to know about the donuts don't you? Well, the donuts have just the right sweetness and they are extremely fluffy! The donuts are actually quite big and very cheap. Why wouldn't you wander into this heavenly shop when you can get a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious delicious dozen of donuts for cheap? You'd be crazy not to. It's not too far off of the highway so if you want to stop for some donuts you can do so whether you're driving at 3 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon - they're open 24 hours! Aka, the greatest thing ever.
(5)genevieve k.
DONUT LOVE! It's cheap, fresh, so delicious, and a great small business. This is the kind of 24 hour joint where you can find old guys sitting at the counter, sipping their coffee and reading their papers at 8 pm on a weeknight. The cashiers are always kind and patient when you're taking forever to *only* choose a dozen different donuts, or asking questions about the flavors. I love that they've survived despite DD being right across the street.

Great flavors and even a nice rotation of special flavors like the current Apple Spice filled donut that wasn't too sweet and had real apples inside, not just a flavored goo. The staff don't excel at providing warm and fuzzy service but they get the job done quickly.

I ordered 12 cupcakes for a co-workers birthday and man, were they good! At $1.50 a piece, some may think that's a little pricey, but they're HUGE!

Best donuts around!!! Good prices!! good variety!!! You won't be disappointed!!! It's a long drive for us to go here but we just love them!
(5)Chris T.
Best donuts!!! Live in Chicago and was heading to three floyds brewery. Stopped there after to grab some donuts before heading home.
(5)Susan T.
OMG ! If you want GREAT, FANTASTIC, Homemade donuts - then this is your place. After going here we never even mention that other place (what was their name??) Munster Donuts is the bomb..... I love the pumpkin warm it up a bit and have that with coffee.....yum He gets anything with chocolate. The donuts are always fresh, always tasty and always well gone !! LOL The staff is great and they do try to get you in and out, the hardest part is choosing.
(5)Leslie L.
Oh my goodness!! Why in God's name haven't I tried this sooner? Delicious!! Oh wow! I went in with my hubby this evening and had a chocolate angel tear? He had a cruller. So good. I'll be back
(5)Sandi M.
Omg!! I have lived in Dyer Indiana for 20 years and I just had my first Munster Donut(s) about two weeks ago and I'm still pondering why in the heck it took me so long to go there. I have tried the chocolate glazed, the pumpkin, the sour cream, and the maple glaze (so far). If you eat a DD after trying a Munster donut you'll never ever go back to DD again. People told me this for years, but I didn't believe it until I tried it for myself. I'm not going to write and long drawn out review, all I'm gonna say is go try this place out...like Yesterday!!!
(5)Christian K.
I get a sweet tooth sometimes(all the time) and I am really surprised that I haven't been to Munster Donuts before 2 weeks ago. You know how there's that saying: "Fast, Good or Cheap... Pick two."???I don't know HOW they did it, but they managed to give us all Three. When pulling in off of Calumet Ave. there is an old, unremarkable sign that simply says "Munster Donut", I walk up to an old, unremarkable building... I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. The inside is simple, there are some stools and a bar area to sit at, a newspaper and periodical stand by the door, and if you look to the left and there's a good sized window into the production area. This isn't a fancy little place, it's a Form follows Function place. And the function is AMAZAZING! I bought 6 donuts, 30 donut holes, a small coffee and a Vanilla Icing donut for (this isn't a typo) just a bit over $8.00! Bow Ties, (Vanilla) Long John, Apple Fritters, Maple Pecan, Cake Donut with Vanilla Icing, Plain and Powdered Donut Holes and of course their Coffee. I tried at least a bit of each, after which I was one milligram of glucose away from having a sugar induced Rager. I swear on my Yelpy little heart that these are THE BEST friggin' donuts and coffee I've had in my life! Ever. Seriously.
(5)Lakan D.
Alright, the donuts are now $0.86 but it's still a good price. If you get a half dozen you'll only end up paying $4.00, it is AWESOME. The donuts are delicious, just as they were before. Love the angel creams and jelly-filled
(4)Erika Chloe A.
This place always has the freshest donuts. I've been here several times and I'm never disappointed.
(5)Michelle G.
We tried this place based on the hype and yelp reviews - honestly, I don't get it. The baked goods (apple fritter, donuts, brownie - we tried a little of everything) were meh. I'll give it a star or two for nostalgia because it looks like the place hasn't changed an inch in 50 years, but that's about it.
(1)Becky B.
I've been frequenting Munster Donut, since it was called Mister Donut...so yeah, a pretty long time. I recently relocated to the Chicago area and while visiting Munster I've picked up donuts on 4 separate occasions. I have not gotten a fresh donut yet! My favorite, the unpretentious iced jelly, has been rock hard, dry and missing all put a hint of jelly. I also tried their eclairs...do not bother. Again, not fresh, barely filled...
(2)Jim G.
Best donuts in the area. Substantial, weighty donuts. When you get a dozen, the box is HEAVY. They make Dunkin Donuts seem like pieces of flavored air. They're delicious, and the coffee is good, too. I'd bring these into my office in the west suburbs and people would be devouring them and asking where they came from. Wish they had a drive-thru.
(5)Dee A.
The staff at the front desk can use some training, they are a little confused and slow at times but the DONUTS are delicious! My favorite place, donuts are soft,sweet, and always fresh. :)
(4)daniel m.
Such a huge difference in having real donuts verses stale. Great place. Awesome donuts
(4)Courtney S.
When I go to Indiana for gas, I have got to stop here, their donuts are everything! The frosted jelly-filled donuts and apple pie slices are to die for. I drove there this weekend thinking I was getting donuts and what do I find?? A closed sign due to someone driving dead smack into the building, damaging the bakery! What am I to do for donuts in the meantime? Hurry up and open please, me and baby need our fix! (7 months pregnant) :)
(5)Richard K.
A cowroker who communtes to Central Illinois where I work will bring these down every month or so. It is my favorite day in the office hands down! Simply the best donuts I've had. I always plan on eating two hut end up eating 3, 4, 5...
(5)Kelley B.
The cream cheese doughnut is so delicious. I bought a half dozen and only paid 4 bucks. I will def be back this week. The glaze was great too especially with a glass of milk.
(5)Cristina G.
I LOVE THESE DONUTS! I don't live anywhere near Munster Donuts, but when we're on our way to Indianapolis we always stop here. I love their filled donuts ALL OF THEM!!! Just don't get their coffee.
(4)Kay J.
My husband told me that he stopped at MD on the way to work and raved about the donuts. I felt so bad! This man has lived with me for 7 years and I never took him to Donut Heaven! I think it was my secret, guilty little pleasure. There is no comparison at the across the street franchise or for that matter, any other donut shop I have ever visited. Get the chocolate iced ring. It is fresh and yeasty and soft and chocolaty and OMG I have to run out and get now NOW. BTW - they are open 24/7 and is NON-SMOKING!
(5)Byron E.
Best in the araa!

I have had sampled donuts all the way from the mighty Willamette to the Susquehanna, from Lake Itasca to the Gulf (I seriously fancy myself somewhat of a connoisseur)-- and I can safely say that Munster Donuts are, if not the finest, tied for first place. The chocolate glazed is a favorite, as is the chocolate cream filled (what an age of gastronomic glory we live in!). The perfect balance of crunchy friedness and soft doughy sweetness. A dozen will set you back a mere seven or eight bucks and will retain their freshness for in excess of 24 hours-- in contrast to many donuts of the storebought varieties, laden with dough conditioners and preservatives, that hardly hold their quality til the end of the day. They even have free wi fi and accept credit cards! They also sell the NWI Times, a noble publication. Coffee is reliably and unspeakably atrocious, as you might expect from a middle-American donut shop.
(5)Rick B.
OMG ... WTF ... NBD ... LOL ... BRB. I am not sure what all those mean, but Munster Donuts is the bomb. In a day and age when everything is Dunkin Donuts (and I like Dunkin) it is a wonder to see there is still room for a Munster Donuts. This is the old fashioned donut shop that I grew up with - used to go to a similar shop on 95th & Western in Chicago. Munster Donuts is a throwback to that time. The donuts are wonderful ... all deep fried ... sometimes a bit on the heavy side ... and always full of sugar. These are the real deal ... if you long for donuts. Nice little counter if you care to stay and eat your calories ... but most are take out delivery. Big window into the fry room for those who like to see their food prepared. Neat old fashioned place.
(4)Greg D.
When I am out this way in the morning, I try and stop here all the time. My children love the donuts. I really like the black coffee. I also like the idea of going to a mom and pop donut shop instead of Dunkin Donuts all the time.
(5)Angela S.
Love and hate this place. I knew the owners, but didn't frequent the place until my kid started working there. I can thank those damn apple fritters for my tight pants. They are heaven. Donuts are hands down phenomenal. I have seen people stand there and wait for their favorite to come out. You can watch them make the donuts too!! The stuff is cheap, so please tip the workers. My son is not yet at minimum wage, so some of them do really appreciate the tips. Shop small... these women who own it are wonderful!
(5)Sharon P.
My first visit was great, staff was friendly, donuts hot and fresh and the place was bustling...I kept thinking about those donuts and bugged my boyfriend to take me, well we went one night a couple weeks ago after 10 pm.....We might as well have been standing outside....two workers, one came out from the back like "Oh yeah what?" We bought half a dozen cold as ice donuts....my boyfriend wanted a Boston cream but they didn't have them.....when we pulled out of Munsters parking lot he saw Dunkin Donuts right across the street and looked at me and frowned. Big disappointment.
(2)Shay H.
Omg amazing!!!! Why haven't I heard of this place before!! Will never eat dunkin donuts again! Finally a place that has fresh donuts! Love it love it
(5)Lois A.
3 donuts and a cream cheese brownie for 4 bucks. Nice! Open 24 hours with friendly service. A cherry filled donut was just what I craved last night before heading back to Chicago and I got it. If every town had a place like this the world would be a better place.
(4)Mary B.
THE best donuts around, DD does not compare to MD. I work right down the road from this place, so I have to be careful!! Delish.

3-1/2 stars, really, but yelp made me choose whole numbers only and I honestly can't give MD 4 stars. I realize that there are many fans of MD here. I don't blame them. MD has some very good donuts; so why only 3(1/2) stars? Munster Donut is like Dunkin' x2. I say that b/c from my experience with the growing list of donut shop/bakeries I'm trying, the crust just doesn't measure up to what a hand-made, hand-fried donut has (think of the crust of the sour creme, but a wee bit less as crusty, and you'll get an idea of what I mean.) I don't mean to sour a parade, but the really good old fashions I've had have had a crunchier/crispier crust. All that being said, the inner cake portion of the cake donuts is delicious. The maple frosting is DELICIOUS. The blueberry jelly, luscious. The yeast donuts are good as well. Frosting is a bit on the sweeter side. The crown jewel goes to the apple fritters. They are as large and as round as a grape fruit and they also are filled with the small-chunk filling. On top of all of this, the atmosphere and considerateness I experienced are what I think make the donuts so extraordinary. (Case in point - I order my dozen samplers and one apple fritter. I then order a coffee. I pay. Then I realize I need to get another fritter. I ask if they have any more. None in the case, so the gentleman checks in back. They just made some and the woman, without me even asking, takes the "older" one I had just bought,) and says she's going to replace that so that I have two fresh ones. I've never, EVER experienced that at a Dunkin'. (Doubt if I ever would.) And I don't usually get that at other privately owned places. I'm convinced that the good vibes of the place is tasted in the donuts. Though when all is said and done, for all the places around Chicago, Munster Donut only pulls a 3(1/2) stars with me. I haven't explored NWI in-depth yet, but I'll gamble that Munster Donut is near the top. For all its pluses, Munster Donut is great. On
(3)Kris K.
This is the only place I buy donuts! Try the do-nut on a stick for the kids, they LOVE it! I like the coconut donuts myself.
(5)Harini P.
I went here at 6pm the other night and they were out of the majority of their doughnuts, did I mention they are supposed to be open 24 hrs a day? Not only that, but the ones I bought were stale and had a funny aftertaste. Heat happened to my beloved Munster Doughnuts.
(1)Steven M.
It is very easy to miss this place. As I have driven by for the last 10 years and have only now discovered it's delicious offerings. Yes, I was hung over, but they have real cake donuts covered in chocolate. They have a lot of mouth watering treats that I will be back for as well as the fast friendly service.
(5)Lisa C.
So I went here around 1am on a Saturday. I had just finished a long night of gambling and other nonsense over at the Horseshoe Casino and thought that a sweet treat just might take the edge off after being less than lucky. I had read the good reviews for this place and figured I would give it a try. As stated by previous reviewers, this place is open 24 hours a day. If you happen to come here in the middle of the night, you may or may not feel that you are in the Little Donut Shop of Horrors. When I walked into that bathroom - dripping faucet, a slightly rancid smell, and questionable stains on the wall - I thought for sure some giant donut with human qualities and razor sharp teeth was going to get me. But all this changed when I discovered what would be a delightful addition to the drive home from northwest Indiana to the northwest side of the Chi....DONUT ON A MFin' STICK. Maybe you have seen it before, but this totally blew my mind. Everything is better on a stick. This, combined with their signature sour cream donut and a cup of coffee hit the spot and until I checked my checking balance the next day, made me forget about the money I had blown over at the Horseshoe.
(4)Ted B.
They do not have a big selection but the freshness and quality of the food is 5 star and the stuff on the primo racks at the bottom like the brownies and cinnamon rolls can't be beat by anybody around.
(5)Tamara W.
Munster Donuts not only have the best donuts in the Midwest but I found out today their customer service is awesome too! I was craving their to die for Pumpkin Donuts so I called just to see if they had any today. Not only did the young lady I spoke to say they had some freshly made but she asked for my name and how many I wanted, when my husband arrived they were packed up with two extra "for the ride home." Awesome donuts, awesome customer service!
(5)Alicia V.
Dunkin' is way to COMMERCIAL...and NOT THAT GOOD!! Munster Donut is A GREAT LOCAL SPOT...I take my daughter in there all the time for their donut on a stick and a cho. milk...it's TOTAL diner vibe...relaxed with a GREAT VARIETY...you can see them make the donuts fresh through the window...I love the brownies.....a great stop for a snack at any time of day...plus..it has A GREAT LOCAL VIBE!!! A MUST TASTE!!
(5)Karyn R.
Want to endear yourself to a bunch of overworked and over-stressed teachers and support staff? Show up on any given Friday with a dozen donuts from Munster Donuts. Faces light up, smiles abound, and moods immediately lighten. It's like Christmas--for less than $7.00. Munster Donuts (Mister Donut if you are truly old school) is a small, local donut shop which has the prescience to be open 24 hours a day because they know, they *know*, that a Munster Donut craving can hit at any time and that, when it hits, it *must* be fulfilled. Think I'm kidding? Fresh donuts all day, every day? Where else are you going to find a dozen of such fresh delectations for less than $10? The chocolate iced ring donuts are a family favorite, though I have never sampled a donut from this shop that doesn't score high marks with me. This is readily evidenced by how quickly I fill up my little punch card which then buys me a free dozen. Serious swoon time. You simply can't find any other place like it. Believe me, I've tried. It sucks to move out of the area and try and find something, anything that measures up to the donuts I've loved since I was a wee tyke. The hopeful anticipation as you order a donut. The promise of that first bite. And then the utter disappointment as you realize that, while this is a decent enough donut, it will never be a Munster Donut. Nearly soul crushing, I can assure you. If you are smart, you will get yourself here today. Now. This minute. Get your keys. We'll wait. Don't worry if it is a long commute. The donuts will be fresh when you get here.
(5)Jay C.
I love Muster Donuts so much I would travel miles just for six. That's just how good they are. My favorite is the strawberry icing soft donut. I'm not a big fan of the cake donuts, but they're really good as well. The price is average, $5 for a dozen depending on the kind of donuts that you pick out. As soon as you walk up to the front door you will immediately smell the the delicious donuts. That's the beauty of it, because you may not even have an appetite for a donut but the smell will draw you in. Hands down they are GREAT!!! I didn't give them five stars because there is another donut shop that is hands down amazing.
(4)Jose G.
Holy crap. My favorite donut place in the whole world. The cream cheese donut is the stuff dreams are made of. Love the variety, the fact that they are open 24 hours and how cheap the place is. I have no clue why anyone would step into the dd across the street. I drive past 3 dd on my way to Munster Donut and I do so with pleasure. Visit Munster Donut and support a local business.
(5)Kara P.
My husband and I get donuts here on the weekends in the morning often. All of them have always been great. The best are the cake donuts they are always fresh when we get them. They service is average nothing to exciting. Most of the time when we go like I said it is in the morning on the weekend so it is busy, so I do not think they are trying hard for customer service just trying to get you in and out. The donuts speak for themselves however.
(5)Pete W.
its nice living in a town where the business is still strong,and its still there after ALL these years. if the doughnuts are fresh,delicious,and competitively priced,i wouldn't think of going anywhere else....and supporting the small business man is good too. ive never had a bad experience here,and I love their doughnuts. I thought it was pretty lame when dunkin doughnuts built their store directly across the street too...lol. if I ever decided to go there,its awkward getting in their parking lot,and the people working in there don't understand you,unless you are talking slow enough for them to understand. im a customer of munster doughnut for 25 yrs almost. as long as I love pastries,its where I go.
(5)Jennifer G.
Ok, first this place is open 24 hours a day. Yippee. Second, this is old fashioned, 1950s style donut shop. The taste is only beat by the shockingly low prices. We stopped in on a Sunday night and got a dozen donuts, a huge brownie, a huge cinnamon roll, 2 chocolate milks, an iced coffee and a juice - $14.00. Yes, the stereotype is true, we walked in and the 2 other people sitting there - Munster cops. we had to let out a little chuckle JUST TRIED THE BROWNIE AND HAD TO UPDATE MY REVIEW. BEST BROWNIE I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! OMG
(4)Merrill N.
I'll add another 5-star review. The donuts here are out of this world. Plus the donut-on-a-stick makes a great little gift. Donuts-on-stix are yummy and seasonally decorated. Do not miss. But ALL the donuts I've had here are great. I like Dunkin Donuts, but not for their donuts. I like Munster Donuts for their donuts. And cookies.
(5)Don D.
Munster donuts is da Bomb! Great doughnuts and good coffee...Plus side is open 24/7 so if you get that 4 am craving for a dozen sweet treats and a coffee you can get them! There is really no downside its basic good service and good product for people that enjoy that sort of thing.
(5)Leyla A.
Best crueller ever, but they should top off cold American coffee FOR FREE! I still left a tip and I will be back for more because this Michigan Whitefish Loved Cruellers toooooooo many! :)
(5)Melanie B.
Read about Munster Donuts here on Yelp as I was planning our trip to 3 Floyds. This place is magical. It feels like a trip back in time to how all donuts shops once were. Counter, display of goodies, locals adding flavor. And the donuts delivered. Favorites were the strawberry glazed, peanut, and the double chocolate. The cream cheese filled was interesting, as was the sour cream. As the man at the counter said, people come on Saturday and drive back for more on Sunday. I believe it.
(5)Meow P.
Picture it. You've just packed down a gyros sandwich, a pile of cheese fries, and a diet pepsi, and now you're really jonesing for a treat. You don't want ice cream, no candy--you want something warm and baked homemade. But it's 8 o'clock and most bakeries are closed. OOH, SUCKS TO BE YOU! So what do you do? Go to the nearest Dunkin Donuts? Heck no! Avoid the belly bomb you get when you knock back a couple of DD chocolate glazed donuts and instead head on over to Munster Donuts. These are the way donuts should be--never greasy, light, but very satisfying. I'd choose a donut from Munster Donut over a slice of cake or pie any day of the week. I have 5 personal favs and an occasional seasonal favorite, as well: 1. The angel--Thick, vanilla or chocolate buttercream bursting through a powdered-sugar coated bismark? Whoaaah. Where do I sign up? 2. Black Raspberry jelly donut--I have an affinity for black raspberry and this is the ONLY place in the tri-state area that in can find a black raspberry-filled donut! 3. Double chocolate--chocolate glazed donut with chocolate icing. How can you go wrong? 4. Strawberry glazed--the BEST strawberry glazed donut I've ever had. This one makes Dunkin Donuts' taste like a pile of puke. 5. Cream cheese brownie---It's not what you think. There is no sign of visible cream cheese on this brownie. I think they use it in the brownie batter, as well as the fudge frosting. Whatever they do, though, this huge brownie for 65-cents is unbelievable--thick, fudgy, and slightly tangy from the presence of cream cheese.

Anyone thinking Munster Donuts(MD) is better than Dunkin Donuts(DD) haven't tasted DD. Not that DD is great either. I would even rate Village Pantry better. Yes. Gas station donuts are better. Stopped in on April 27, 2013 and picked up a dozen donuts at MD. Jellies, creams, and fruit filling. Got home and had a few donuts. They are seriously lacking in filling. The donuts themselves didn't even taste as good as a DD. On the Bavarian, I got through almost 3/4 of the donut before finding any filling. All donuts suffered the lack of filling. These are OK if all you need is a sugar fix and don't care much about taste. I did an experiment on the fruit filled donut(apple). I cut it in half this time...I could not see any filling on either side. I did find the filling all the way to the end on one side. That's a poorly made donut. Do yourself a favor. Go across he street and buy DD. They are not that great either but better than MD. The other thing I noticed about MD was that they just aren't that clean of a shop. Anyone ever look in that donut making room? Things just look ratty in there. I expected people to be smoking in there but luckily they do have a sign on the door that say, "NO SMOKING". Price...About $8 for a dozen($7 and some change). In perspective, I would give DD 3 stars because it is a cleaner store and you get more filling in a donut.
(2)Sharon D.
went there this morning noticed that the baker(guy) in the back area was smearing the icing on the donuts with his bare fingers. Naked dirty hand. I was wondering if this is the normal practice or should he have used a spatula. Or maybe a plastic glove....and a clean uniform might have helped. Nevertheless I drove off and plan to never return. Munster donuts are for the people that don't notice what is going on in the kitchen. Sanitation 101 - never use bare hand to prep food. Millions of people get sick every day from eating in places like this that have no code of ethics.
(1)Jim M.
The best donuts around, no doubt about it. I became a king at my job because of the many dozen I brought in of these. Always fresh, really great service, I'd call ahead, estimate my time, they were ready whenever I arrived. The sour cream donuts look a little strange, but are a must with some good strong coffee. I can't say that I've ever had a bad donut here, even the pink frosted ones, which has been in every dozen I've bought from any donut place, was outstanding. I always wondered who ate those. That would be me, now, I guess. The coffee is not that strong, but it compliments the donuts really well. The counter is just the right height for eating and reading late at night, if you find yourself doing that. Forget the chains, come to Munster Donuts, you will not be disappointed.
(5)Stephanie K.
What can I say? A 24-hour donut shop with old-fashioned counter service and the personality to match. It's paradise! You MUST try their strawberry frosted and their sour cream donuts--simply fantastic!!!! I've been eating their sour cream for years and can't seem to get away from them. After a night of drinking on the town, instead of hanging out at an all-night diner, I go to Munster Donut and grab a couple "holes" with friends.
(5)irfan m.
One of the best donuts you will ever have! I think Mhhhh..mh..mmm really good.
(5)Lois A.
3 donuts and a cream cheese brownie for 4 bucks. Nice! Open 24 hours with friendly service. A cherry filled donut was just what I craved last night before heading back to Chicago and I got it. If every town had a place like this the world would be a better place.

This, combined with their signature sour cream donut and a cup of coffee hit the spot and until I checked my checking balance the next day, made me forget about the money I had blown over at the Horseshoe.

This place is an institution of donut perfection. They are open 24 hours for your any time of the day or night donut cravings. Seemingly hundreds of donuts to choose from and you can see right into the area where they make all of them by hand. If you're in the area there's no excuse for going to Dunkin when this place is across the street. It simply doesn't get better than this place.

They do not have a big selection but the freshness and quality of the food is 5 star and the stuff on the primo racks at the bottom like the brownies and cinnamon rolls can't be beat by anybody around.

Munster Donuts not only have the best donuts in the Midwest but I found out today their customer service is awesome too! I was craving their to die for Pumpkin Donuts so I called just to see if they had any today. Not only did the young lady I spoke to say they had some freshly made but she asked for my name and how many I wanted, when my husband arrived they were packed up with two extra "for the ride home." Awesome donuts, awesome customer service!

My husband told me that he stopped at MD on the way to work and raved about the donuts. I felt so bad! This man has lived with me for 7 years and I never took him to Donut Heaven! I think it was my secret, guilty little pleasure. There is no comparison at the across the street franchise or for that matter, any other donut shop I have ever visited. Get the chocolate iced ring. It is fresh and yeasty and soft and chocolaty and OMG I have to run out and get now NOW. BTW - they are open 24/7 and is NON-SMOKING!

Want to endear yourself to a bunch of overworked and over-stressed teachers and support staff? Show up on any given Friday with a dozen donuts from Munster Donuts. Faces light up, smiles abound, and moods immediately lighten. It's like Christmas--for less than $7.00. Munster Donuts (Mister Donut if you are truly old school) is a small, local donut shop which has the prescience to be open 24 hours a day because they know, they *know*, that a Munster Donut craving can hit at any time and that, when it hits, it *must* be fulfilled. Think I'm kidding? Fresh donuts all day, every day? Where else are you going to find a dozen of such fresh delectations for less than $10? The chocolate iced ring donuts are a family favorite, though I have never sampled a donut from this shop that doesn't score high marks with me. This is readily evidenced by how quickly I fill up my little punch card which then buys me a free dozen. Serious swoon time. You simply can't find any other place like it. Believe me, I've tried. It sucks to move out of the area and try and find something, anything that measures up to the donuts I've loved since I was a wee tyke. The hopeful anticipation as you order a donut. The promise of that first bite. And then the utter disappointment as you realize that, while this is a decent enough donut, it will never be a Munster Donut. Nearly soul crushing, I can assure you. If you are smart, you will get yourself here today. Now. This minute. Get your keys. We'll wait. Don't worry if it is a long commute. The donuts will be fresh when you get here.

I love Muster Donuts so much I would travel miles just for six. That's just how good they are. My favorite is the strawberry icing soft donut. I'm not a big fan of the cake donuts, but they're really good as well. The price is average, $5 for a dozen depending on the kind of donuts that you pick out. As soon as you walk up to the front door you will immediately smell the the delicious donuts. That's the beauty of it, because you may not even have an appetite for a donut but the smell will draw you in. Hands down they are GREAT!!! I didn't give them five stars because there is another donut shop that is hands down amazing.

Holy crap. My favorite donut place in the whole world. The cream cheese donut is the stuff dreams are made of. Love the variety, the fact that they are open 24 hours and how cheap the place is. I have no clue why anyone would step into the dd across the street. I drive past 3 dd on my way to Munster Donut and I do so with pleasure. Visit Munster Donut and support a local business.

My husband and I get donuts here on the weekends in the morning often. All of them have always been great. The best are the cake donuts they are always fresh when we get them. They service is average nothing to exciting. Most of the time when we go like I said it is in the morning on the weekend so it is busy, so I do not think they are trying hard for customer service just trying to get you in and out. The donuts speak for themselves however.

its nice living in a town where the business is still strong,and its still there after ALL these years. if the doughnuts are fresh,delicious,and competitively priced,i wouldn't think of going anywhere else....and supporting the small business man is good too. ive never had a bad experience here,and I love their doughnuts. I thought it was pretty lame when dunkin doughnuts built their store directly across the street too...lol. if I ever decided to go there,its awkward getting in their parking lot,and the people working in there don't understand you,unless you are talking slow enough for them to understand. im a customer of munster doughnut for 25 yrs almost. as long as I love pastries,its where I go.
(5)Jennifer G.
Ok, first this place is open 24 hours a day. Yippee. Second, this is old fashioned, 1950s style donut shop. The taste is only beat by the shockingly low prices. We stopped in on a Sunday night and got a dozen donuts, a huge brownie, a huge cinnamon roll, 2 chocolate milks, an iced coffee and a juice - $14.00. Yes, the stereotype is true, we walked in and the 2 other people sitting there - Munster cops. we had to let out a little chuckle JUST TRIED THE BROWNIE AND HAD TO UPDATE MY REVIEW. BEST BROWNIE I HAVE EVER EATEN!!! OMG

I'll add another 5-star review. The donuts here are out of this world. Plus the donut-on-a-stick makes a great little gift. Donuts-on-stix are yummy and seasonally decorated. Do not miss. But ALL the donuts I've had here are great. I like Dunkin Donuts, but not for their donuts. I like Munster Donuts for their donuts. And cookies.
(5)Don D.
Munster donuts is da Bomb! Great doughnuts and good coffee...Plus side is open 24/7 so if you get that 4 am craving for a dozen sweet treats and a coffee you can get them! There is really no downside its basic good service and good product for people that enjoy that sort of thing.
(5)Leyla A.
Best crueller ever, but they should top off cold American coffee FOR FREE! I still left a tip and I will be back for more because this Michigan Whitefish Loved Cruellers toooooooo many! :)

Read about Munster Donuts here on Yelp as I was planning our trip to 3 Floyds. This place is magical. It feels like a trip back in time to how all donuts shops once were. Counter, display of goodies, locals adding flavor. And the donuts delivered. Favorites were the strawberry glazed, peanut, and the double chocolate. The cream cheese filled was interesting, as was the sour cream. As the man at the counter said, people come on Saturday and drive back for more on Sunday. I believe it.

This was my very first job and several members of my family have worked there over the years. I LOVE Mister (ok fine MUNSTER) Donut so much, every time I'm in town to visit I have to fight the urge to go get donuts and coffee there, and I often lose that fight. I was really worried when they put in the Dunkin across the street but there's no way anyone in their right mind would prefer a Dunkin Donut over Mr. Donuts. They are SO good, working there spoiled me on donuts. I just don't think anyone else makes donuts any better. Plus, eating them when they're hot, fresh out of the fryer and vat of sugar glaze - UGH that's the best. Top picks: anything with white icing, marble donuts and donuts on a stick!
(5)Jrugburn R.
No other donut shop, except for Voodoo Donuts in Portland compares. Toasted coconut yeast donuts are the bomb. DIG IT
(5)Jean C.
Let me be upfront and tell you I've never set foot in this place, but I've eaten their donuts many times thanks to Jim M. (Go read his reviews!) and I agree with everyone who raves about them. They're wonderful. When I see Jim walking up to the house with a box from Munster Donuts I go put coffee on and get ready for a very pleasant few hours of good talk, good coffee and great donuts. And I have to say that it's been a long time since I've had a Bismarck or Bavarian cream that wasn't icky-sweet, but the ones from this place manage to walk that fine line. If you're anywhere near Munster Donuts, you really owe it to yourself to make a stop there. You won't be sorry.

I ordered donuts for my son's birthday. Then sent my husband to pick them up. The boxes were labeled incorrectly with wrong last name so he got the wrong order. Mistakes happen all the time, right? No problem...to err is human. So, I merely called the next day to let them know. Then...they say they will make more to make up for this. So, they tell me they will make a re-do for Saturday. I go to pick them up only to be verbally assaulted by the manager who insists that my husband willfully picked up the wrong donuts and then I called and yelled on the phone. None of which is true. So much for making this customer happier. These used to be our favorite donuts, but to verbally assault me in front of no less than 20 other customers is inexcusable. Don't go out of your way for this donut shop.

This place is great, and thankfully have withstood the giant Dunkin Donuts across the street. Coffee is better too!

Still awesome... Keep up the good work MD!

Best donuts ever. Hands down. Skip Dunkin, go old school. Whatever you like, they got...always fresh. And the hospitality goes as far as the taste. It's worth getting out of the car for.

Picture it. You've just packed down a gyros sandwich, a pile of cheese fries, and a diet pepsi, and now you're really jonesing for a treat. You don't want ice cream, no candy--you want something warm and baked homemade. But it's 8 o'clock and most bakeries are closed. OOH, SUCKS TO BE YOU! So what do you do? Go to the nearest Dunkin Donuts? Heck no! Avoid the belly bomb you get when you knock back a couple of DD chocolate glazed donuts and instead head on over to Munster Donuts. These are the way donuts should be--never greasy, light, but very satisfying. I'd choose a donut from Munster Donut over a slice of cake or pie any day of the week. I have 5 personal favs and an occasional seasonal favorite, as well: 1. The angel--Thick, vanilla or chocolate buttercream bursting through a powdered-sugar coated bismark? Whoaaah. Where do I sign up? 2. Black Raspberry jelly donut--I have an affinity for black raspberry and this is the ONLY place in the tri-state area that in can find a black raspberry-filled donut! 3. Double chocolate--chocolate glazed donut with chocolate icing. How can you go wrong? 4. Strawberry glazed--the BEST strawberry glazed donut I've ever had. This one makes Dunkin Donuts' taste like a pile of puke. 5. Cream cheese brownie---It's not what you think. There is no sign of visible cream cheese on this brownie. I think they use it in the brownie batter, as well as the fudge frosting. Whatever they do, though, this huge brownie for 65-cents is unbelievable--thick, fudgy, and slightly tangy from the presence of cream cheese.

Anyone thinking Munster Donuts(MD) is better than Dunkin Donuts(DD) haven't tasted DD. Not that DD is great either. I would even rate Village Pantry better. Yes. Gas station donuts are better. Stopped in on April 27, 2013 and picked up a dozen donuts at MD. Jellies, creams, and fruit filling. Got home and had a few donuts. They are seriously lacking in filling. The donuts themselves didn't even taste as good as a DD. On the Bavarian, I got through almost 3/4 of the donut before finding any filling. All donuts suffered the lack of filling. These are OK if all you need is a sugar fix and don't care much about taste. I did an experiment on the fruit filled donut(apple). I cut it in half this time...I could not see any filling on either side. I did find the filling all the way to the end on one side. That's a poorly made donut. Do yourself a favor. Go across he street and buy DD. They are not that great either but better than MD. The other thing I noticed about MD was that they just aren't that clean of a shop. Anyone ever look in that donut making room? Things just look ratty in there. I expected people to be smoking in there but luckily they do have a sign on the door that say, "NO SMOKING". Price...About $8 for a dozen($7 and some change). In perspective, I would give DD 3 stars because it is a cleaner store and you get more filling in a donut.

went there this morning noticed that the baker(guy) in the back area was smearing the icing on the donuts with his bare fingers. Naked dirty hand. I was wondering if this is the normal practice or should he have used a spatula. Or maybe a plastic glove....and a clean uniform might have helped. Nevertheless I drove off and plan to never return. Munster donuts are for the people that don't notice what is going on in the kitchen. Sanitation 101 - never use bare hand to prep food. Millions of people get sick every day from eating in places like this that have no code of ethics.

The best donuts around, no doubt about it. I became a king at my job because of the many dozen I brought in of these. Always fresh, really great service, I'd call ahead, estimate my time, they were ready whenever I arrived. The sour cream donuts look a little strange, but are a must with some good strong coffee. I can't say that I've ever had a bad donut here, even the pink frosted ones, which has been in every dozen I've bought from any donut place, was outstanding. I always wondered who ate those. That would be me, now, I guess. The coffee is not that strong, but it compliments the donuts really well. The counter is just the right height for eating and reading late at night, if you find yourself doing that. Forget the chains, come to Munster Donuts, you will not be disappointed.
(5)Stephanie K.
What can I say? A 24-hour donut shop with old-fashioned counter service and the personality to match. It's paradise! You MUST try their strawberry frosted and their sour cream donuts--simply fantastic!!!! I've been eating their sour cream for years and can't seem to get away from them. After a night of drinking on the town, instead of hanging out at an all-night diner, I go to Munster Donut and grab a couple "holes" with friends.
