Home Cut Donuts


We are family owned donut shop located in Joliet, IL. In business since 1966 with the same old school recipes.


Home Cut Donuts has been a family business from the beginning. Bill, Bob and Dave Ruhaak, three young brothers, invested everything that they had, and opened the doors at the end of April 1966. Their work ethic and quality products were an instant hit in Joliet. Bill’s son Jim took over in 2000, and has done his best to continue his family’s tradition of excellence. Very little has changed at Home Cut Donuts since day one, and we plan on continuing to deliver the same experience into the future. Both of our locations are open 7 days a week, continuously producing our delicious donuts and pastries for our customers to enjoy fresh everyday!


Mmm, donuts. I was fortunate enough to grow up just down the street from one of the best donut shops in Chicago. They had the best donut balls and their giant Texas donuts were pretty cool too. Everyone who knows me knows I love Portland and Voodoo Donuts was a lot of fun. They had some really interesting donut choices and it's a great tourist attraction. But I recently discovered one of the better hidden secrets in the Midwest in Joliettaval places. It's called Homecut Donuts and it looks They have two locations. I st I thought it was going to be the kind of place that just had one type of donut like, But they have a lot of different donuts. All kinds you can see. And I knew right off the bat that my favorite was going to be the cherry cake donut. I could tell by the smell the guys in the back were making the stuff from scratch. And you can tell by their equipment. It had been around for a while. Everything is seasoned. The staff is heart working, nice, friendly. And on some days it gets pretty crowded. I just happened to be here on this day and it was a weekday in the afternoon. So if you're looking to avoid the crowd, that's the best time to go. But if you're ever looking for a good donut, homemade, decent people, great prices, stop by either the Washington Street or the Jefferson Street location and have yourself a donut.
