ABOUT US
We are Industrial Donut, a family owned and operated donut (and coffee) shop in Savoy, IL. Our family team consists of James, Becca, and Sydney (mini-owner), all born and bred in central IL. Foodies to the core, we spent years traveling, trying unique restaurants and experiencing new food concepts. Continually saying, “we need something like this back home,” we finally decided that the time had come to bring FRESH, made-to-order DONUTS to Chambanavoy! No, we are not a big chain or even a franchise… we’re truly your neighborhood mom and pop donut shop (just way cooler, lol).
Right before our 1st business anniversary, the Covid-19 pandemic hit… BUT here we are, over 5 years old (2024). We are so very thankful for this community and our amazing team, without whom we wouldn’t be here today.

Q&A’s
What’s up with the name?
It has a ring to it, doesn’t it? Or we think it does. Essentially, we envisioned a donut factory, an assembly line of sorts, and you’re on the line today! Our donut robots spit out freshly prepared vanilla cake donuts to start the process. Coming out, hot off the line, it’s our turn to finish the manufacturing process, YOUR WAY, and right in front of you!
What exactly is my part in the process?
The entire process begins with YOU selecting the icings/glazes and toppings of your choice. Industrial Donut offers 8 icings/glazes (including a special) and 16+ toppings on a daily basis (although you don’t have to choose a topping). In addition, we also have plain & simple donuts (plain, powdered sugar, and cinnamon sugar), house specialties (Industrial Waste, PB&J Hole, and the Dirty Donut), and will offer unique weekly specials to mix it up a bit!
Why only cake donuts?
Because we rock at cake donuts! Oh, and we really like you, but not enough to wake up that early to make yeast donuts… glazed and simple.
How long are Industrial Donut donuts “FRESH”?
Like ANY fried or even baked good… same-day is ALWAYS the freshest. We fry our donuts in small batches throughout our day. So, when you eat a donut served at the shop, it doesn’t get any fresher- just the right temperature and taste.
Donuts are a bakery item, so just like any bread product, their quality will change with time and environment (mainly temperature and moisture). Never refrigerate our donuts. Some customers have told us that they freeze, thaw, and warm them in the microwave when they’re read to eat… they swear by it, but we’re donut snobs, so we just say get them and eat them right away!
What if I want donuts on a Sunday (closed Sundays)?
We receive LOTS of orders for Sunday events, and suggest that you pick up at 12:30pm on Saturday, so they’re the freshest possible donuts we can serve you.
What kind of coffee do you serve?
We serve coffee from Columbia Street Roastery, a locally owned and operated business.
Where can I see your allergy information?
Our allergy information is listed on our website. We also have notices posted inside the shop.
Do you offer gluten-free donuts?
We offer a “Gluten-Friendly” Donut about once a month by preorder only. What is an Industrial Donut Gluten-Friendly Donut It’s our Gluten Free Donut made in an environment where gluten is also present and used for other items; so, although the donut, icings, and toppings are Gluten Free… our environment is not. To help combat this, we have taken numerous measures to ensure the closest to a Gluten FREE environment as possible. Transparency is our goal, and thankfully, we have had lots of repeat Gluten-Friendly customers every run (yes, they’re that awesome!). Find us on Facebook and Instagram for GF dates!

Why Savoy?
We LOVE Savoy; it is HOME. Our location is conveniently located in Savoy’s City Center (behind Aldi’s and Christie Clinic on N. Dunlap) and is just a short drive from Champaign, Urbana, and Tolono. Savoy truly is a big little village chock-full of the best of the best from restaurants to entertainment.
Do you have FREE WiFi and work space?
YES! Come on in… grab a seat and a donut! Our WiFi is as fast as our donut dipping!
