Egg and Cheese
Ulyana K.

Great spot for donuts, other sweet treats, and breakfast in general. They have a reasonably varied menu with many of the classic breakfast items available to go. I wanted to try a large sampling of the menu, so I ordered the glazed donut holes, egg and cheese sandwich, Boston creme donut, and cherry donut. They did not disappoint. The glazed donut holes came in a solid portion for a great price. They were perfectly sweet without being too overwhelming. Not too dry either. Similar to Dunkin Donuts. The Boston Creme donut was tasty. Solid size and filled with lots of creme. Definitely a classic. The cherry donut was surprisingly good, although a tad bit dry due to it not having any frosting. My favorite item I got was the egg and cheese sandwich. It's served on a lovely buttery croissant. They include the perfect amount of egg and cheese and it's just a very satisfying breakfast sandwich. All in all, I definitely recommend their food. It's reasonably priced and very tasty. The egg and cheese sandwich is especially amazing!

Good little stop for a donut and coffee. The inside has a few tables and was fairly clean. In addition to a variety of donuts, they sell chips, condiments, etc. they even have a deli where you can buy sandwiches or take home deli meat. The staff was friendly and it is run efficiently.

donuts!

My friend surprised me with a dozen donuts (only a regular dozen--not a bakers LOL) for my birthday! We got a plethora of flavors in our assortment, ranging from the classics like Sprinkled and Chocolate Frosted, to more adventurous flavors like the Cherry and the Maple Frosted. I really appreciated the variety they had. My personal favorite is the Boston Creme, although it is hard to just pick one! So I sampled a few, and they were all decently yummy. Not the best donut i've had, but definitely up there. Very soft, warm, and fresh! Onto the donuts I sampled! The Double Chocolate has a strong flavor, but it was a little dry. It was on par with the average chocolate donut-- no better no worse. The Maple Frosted Donut was my least favorite. It was a generic frosting slightly tinged with maple flavor on top of a plain donut. The flavor did not penetrate through the entire donut. The Boston Creme was amazing, I did not have any complaints. And the other cream ones were definitely the better half of the bunch as the cream compensated for the slightly dry texture. My only big critique is that I am not sure if they were warm due to being in the sun or just being fresh. I was surprised that the delivery person did not knock or do anything to indicate the arrival of the donuts. We coincidentally encountered them on the doorstep, otherwise we would not have known they had arrived. So my only complaint is about the delivery of the donuts.

Got these delivered and the assortment is awesome. The delivery person just left the box on the stoop without knocking so I wish that they would have done that. The donuts themselves are very delicious! Not the best I've ever had, but definitely tastier than your average donut shop. I don't usually go for cake donuts but I will says I thoroughly enjoyed the ones I tried-- hard to pick a favorite flavor! Great for a quick sweet snack

We've been wanting to visit here so long and drove by for years. Finally visited rather than the usual dunkin' donuts. I feel you get more for your money with their sandwiches. About $4.29 for sausage or bacon with egg and cheese which you can get croissant, bagel etc. The donuts are $1.29 a piece, assorted available. We loved their breakfast sandwiches! I only paid about $10-12 I think it was for 2 sandwiches and 3 donuts. The staff are very inviting, friendly and funny! Great place, efficient as well!

Two donuts and a coffee for $3.49! Chocolate and maple iced.
Mandy N.

Honestly, not what I was expecting, but was pleasantly surprised! The guy behind the counter was really patient and let us try some donut holes while we decided on our order. My boyfriend and I each got the 'two donuts and coffee for $3.50' deal. The donuts were fantastic -- very light and had great flavor. Together we got two chocolate iced, a maple, and sugar. The sugar and maple were my favorites! He seemed to really like the chocolate. The coffee was pretty standard for a gas station. It was on the stronger side though! The only thing I didn't like was that the caregiver added the milk and sugar for me, I would have preferred to do it myself. This place seemed to be a local favorite. There was an older woman sitting with her husband at a table and I swear she knew everyone that walked into the store. All in all, I had a good experience and wouldn't hesitate to visit again if I'm in the area.

The donuts here are fresh and delicious. The only reason why it is not five stars is because they have nothing with cream or jelly inside.

I was very skeptical of the hype around this place. I generally am not the type to stand in a very…read morelong line for food. But I was in the area one Saturday morning around 9 am and the line looked manageable so figured I'd try and see if I could get some. I waited maybe 10-15 mins, so not too bad. My 5-star review is 100% due to the old fashioned donut. When it was my turn to order they had literally just brought out a tray of donuts that looked really good. I asked what they were and was told "old fashioned". Since they just came out fresh I decided to get a couple. I should've got a dozen of just those. Since it was my first time I picked several others to try and they were all fine, but the old fashioned - elite. I would definitely wait in another (10-15 min manageable) line for those specifically. My husband had to talk me down from returning the next day to get more lol.

If you are truly looking for some of the best donuts in the Pittsburgh area, then look no further…read more Better Maid is a locally-owned small business with some of the best cake donuts I have ever tasted. Located on Steuben Street in the West End, this shop dates back several decades. It is located in an unassuming white building, with little signage. However, there is plenty of street parking along with the private lot on the side. This place does not necessarily have set business hours. They have an open time, and go until they sell out. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday they are open at 7 AM, and the weekends is 8 AM. I would advise arriving for the set open time if you are planning to get donuts on any given day. Especially on the weekend, they will sell out within an hour or two (yes, the donuts are that good!!). Plan accordingly if you are planning to stop. It is not unusual for a line to be forming 30+ minutes before the doors open. The plus of getting there early like that is that you will be one of the first served, and therefore able to get first picks! The selection of donuts rotates each day. There is not necessarily a schedule on which this occurs, but they might have a flavor today that they will not have tomorrow. Some of my favorites overtime have been the blueberry cake, pumpkin cake, cherry "sandwich" filled, sour cream, and so many more. I have asked the staff before if/when they would be making a particular kind, and they will let you know if they have an idea, so do not be afraid to ask. They sell cake donuts, regular donuts, long Johns, cinnamon rolls, and other speciality items each day. There are also donut holes, while are quite honestly some of the best I have ever tasted anywhere. They are usually warm and melt in your mouth. Do not leave without buying some if they are available. The value here is unbeatable. With the donuts being homemade and fresh, the prices are the best anywhere. They are even cheaper than somewhere like Dunkin, but the quality is 100 times better. This is probably another reason the people keep coming back for these delicacies. However, note that it is CASH ONLY! When I first started coming here, an older gentleman owned the place. He was so friendly and social to everyone who walked through the door. I always enjoyed interacting with him when I came by. A few years ago, a younger couple bought the business. However, the previous owner still works alongside them, which is cool to see! The new owners have been more consistent with being open during advertised open days, and are active on their Instagram account. This helps with knowing specials, when they sell out, if there is a change in being open, etc. Before, the days were sometimes hit or miss if they would be open. However, this has improved a lot since the new ownership has been in place. I love Better Maid - there truly is not a better cake donuts or donut hole anywhere I have tried in Pittsburgh. Plus, it is local people producing a handmade product, which is something everyone can get behind supporting. I just wish there were set hours sometimes, but that is part of the culture of the business. So, plan on brining your cash and waking up early for these delicious treats.
