Munster Donut

Munster Donut has been a Calumet Avenue fixture since 1969, a small family business at 8314 Calumet Ave that opens before dawn. The claim to fame is the donut on a stick, with the variety changing every day. The rest of the case is cake and yeast donuts, brownies, cinnamon rolls, bowties, cookies and cookies for dogs, plus a donut of the day that rotates through blueberry cake, buttermilk, red velvet, cherry, strawberry cake and French. Custom orders for parties take 48 hours’ notice, and orders of five dozen or more need a day. The shop sits on Munster’s main commercial stretch.
