Listen up, people. If you think that sad, crumbly hockey puck you bought next to the lukewarm coffee at the pump counts as a donut, you're living a lie. A delicious, sugar-coated lie, but still a lie! Donut King is here to stage an intervention for your breakfast habits. Walking into Donut King is like finally trading up from a tricycle to a Ferrari. The aroma alone will convince you that you've been eating flavorless cardboard for too long. Their donuts are so ridiculously fresh and fluffy, I'm pretty sure they float if you toss them gently. I took one bite of their glazed, and I swear I heard an angelic choir sing the chorus to "Sweet Caroline." My favorite part? The sheer quality. The gas station donut is the awkward, slightly sticky cousin you try to avoid at family gatherings. Donut King is the handsome, charming heir to the dessert throne who just bought you a yacht. Don't even get me started on their fritters--they're basically a biblical harvest of apples and fried dough. If you care about your taste buds, your happiness, or just avoiding the existential dread that comes from biting into a stale gas station pastry, come here. Donut King doesn't just make donuts; they make memories. (And possibly expand your waistline, but totally worth it!) 10/10 - Would fight a mime for the last apple fritter. read more

First time at Donut King and it was great! Not a ton of seating area on the inside but there are a few tables. Donuts were good and service was fast. I wouldn't call this a destination donut shop by any means but if you're in the area, it's a great place to try. read more

Ordered two dozen maple bar long John's. O e dozen with bacon one without. This was for a birthday. The doughnuts were overcooked. Vanilla not maple . Frosting slopped on them. Waited a month to order because they don't always make them. Super super disappointed. Cost was 58.00 never again read more

Excellent service! There was not a line but continuous patrons on an early Sunday afternoon picking up donuts. The donuts were delicious!

Donut King is my daughter and my must stop every Wednesday morning. We have our usuals we get, but also get randoms and the donut of the month. I have not had a bad donut from here. The staff is amazing and from day 1 made us feel welcomed and like valued customers. Everything about this place is welcoming and happy. read more

The chop suey donut was amazing! Also got a Dutch crumb and fried croissant which were delicious. The lemon filled donut could have used more filling, and the cake donut was pretty dry. I went at about 9:30 on a Sunday and they seemed to be sold out of a lot of donuts, so get there earlier if you can. read more

We were from out of town and stopped by after football camp. They were almost sold out. We got a dozen and they were very good. The staff working was really friendly. read more

Stopped in on Thursday to grab a "thank you" dozen for clinical staff I have been working with since January. Asked for "random" and they were able to grab donuts that made up an eclectic assortment that everyone enjoyed. They were fresh and they could tell they came from a donut shop and not a franchise. Love homemade donuts, they remind me of my childhood and going to the local donut shop. The staff are friendly and regardless of how busy they are, they focus on you. Great place, stop in and try them out. Grab breakfast or a snack with family or friends. read more

Nice donut shop right off main drag. Easy in, easy out. They have the standards but what I liked was that they offered smaller versions of the big donuts in case you just want to nibble or you're on a restrictive diet like I am. Their eclairs also have real cream and not the pudding style like you get in most donut shops. Coffee was ok. read more

Very fresh and tasty doughnuts. Apple fritter was my favorite. I need to add more characters to post this review

They have a wide variety of donuts to choose from. New to the area and looking for a place to get fresh donuts that are fluffy and not overly dry. They were okay donuts. I was still wanting more from it. It just missed the mark slightly. They were very friendly and it was clean in there. read more

How do you follow up an epic St Charles BBQ dinner? Visit Donut-King! We have been on a 21 day car trip and we're craving donuts of course. The place is set up for efficiency. Boxes are stacked up, the cases are full, and lots of counter help made things rapid fire and quite exciting. You can order ahead and have things ready for pick up. We were in and out and as I was stuffing my mouth I had instant regret that I didn't buy a dozen or two. And after eating on the road for three weeks I don't need the calories. But wow those were good donuts. I had a sprinkle vanilla cake donut and a fritter thing called "chop suey." You know you want to try it. You won't regret it. read more

I stop by here to get my troops a few treats to start the day off right. The people here are amazing and it's far from a hole in the wall. It's a St. Charles local partner. ​ read more

Yummiest donuts in St. Charles. Great little location. St. Charles is lucky to have folks who wanted to keep this long-standing shop going!! read more

Donut King is an old fashioned spot that covers the standard donut varieties. My glazed was perfect. At Donut King there's no maple glazed pineapple tutti frutti with bacon sprinkles. And that's alright. The glazed was tall, fluffy, sugary goodness and surely as unhealthy as a donut can be. I'll be back to try other varieties. read more

I think their doughnuts are very good. I just wish they had more around. It's a bit of a drive but I still make it

What's that I hear? Why it's angels from heaven and they're crying. Why I ask? They reply, because the best donuts ever made aren't in heaven, they're in St. Charles. Plain and simple these are the best donuts I've ever had, it's always a debate in my head if the glazed are the best or is it the buttermilk? That's the eternal question. You won't find pretentious overpriced donuts here, but you will find an excellent donut. The only downside of Donut King is that if you get donuts anywhere but here you'll be disappointed. We'll done! read more

Get the chop suey donut. Just get it! But all the rest are great too. Fresh every day.

A special thank you to Alissa and her team for the Pokémon themed and #7 donuts. Everyone loved them especially the birthday girl. read more

Best best best cake donuts ever! Especially red chocolate glazed! Been coming here for the past two decades! Hands down nowhere better in St Charles County and maybe farther! read more

Don't know why I was sleeping on this place. I dislike the chain donut places, and all the other local mom and pop donut shops closed so I tried them. Not disappointed, can't wait to go back. read more

Very friendly and welcoming. It's a plus they are nut free ! I have a child with a nut allergy so it makes concerns a lot less! Donuts are great read more

Best donuts of my life! And amazing service. I look forward to them every week for my cheat meal ;)

I'm so glad it's peanut free, I was about to get my son some donuts without worry, due to his allergies.

I really have mixed feelings on this one. On one hand they're the donut shop that I go to most frequent but on the other I'm never totally satisfied. There's not a ton of option in old town for donuts so donut king definitely fills the void but that's about the extent of it. Their long johns are good but not great, glazed donuts are so-so, cake donuts are pretty decent and their cinnamon twists/knots are underwhelming. One thing I will give them credit for is their chopsuey is both unique and tasty. Honestly, even at 3 stars I'll probably continue to go back until someone else comes in that really kills it in the donut world. read more

This place is amazing!!! Nice people and awesome donuts, always fresh!!! They are peanut-free which is so wonderful for those with allergies! read more

Yummy, fresh, and clean been there several times now and all i can say is early bird gets the best selection

Stopped in this am as I was driving through St Charles and glad I did. I had the chopped suey (apple fritter sans apple) and it was terrific. Mine was pretty fresh from the fryer so not sure what it is like all the time, but this was warm, soft, and pillowie like a fresh roll from the oven. Sooo good. Son got a long John and it too was super soft. Will be stopping here again read more

Every time i have come to Donut-King I've had a great experience. It's has warm welcoming atmosphere. On top that their Donuts taste incredible. I would like to say thank you to all of the employees for your hard work read more

It was tasty and fast. Cute little shop with lots of options. Yum. We had a random assorted dozen. Very reasonably priced. read more

The definition of the small community local donut shop that focuses on quality over quantity. My wife and I live our Saturday morning walks to the Donut-King, and everything we've had from there has been outstanding. My favorite has to be the Blueberry donut, it is only available on the weekends just FYI, but their traditional glazed donuts are just as good. If you're in the old town/ mid town neighborhood in St. Charles you have to stop in for a donut! You will not be disappointed. read more

Best doughnuts. They're fluffy and crispy on the edges. My favorite is the chocolate long john filled with custard. Always a must when I'm in St Charles read more

Donut King is a supporter of the community and getting the vote out. That, or a volunteer at my polling place is super kind. Either way the glazed donut I got this morning from my polling place, provided by Donut King, was the highlight of my day. I can't wait to go and try their other selections. I had no idea we had a real donut shop in STC! Bring on the classic fried, glazed donuts. In the world where froo froo cake donuts are the rage, donut king is, as the name indicates, king! read more

Mmm!!! Literally talked about the donut I ate this morning....all day! To everyone I could and am currently laying on the couch writing this review and thinking again about it. I love donuts either way but this one was fantastic! Donut was soft and chewy, I got a cream filled which was marshmallow and that made me so happy! The chocolate on top was amazing as well. This is a cash only joint, full of an older population which I so love because you can tell everyone there hangs out together and it's like a family. So happy about this place. Can't wait to come back in a timely manner and try all these donuts!!! This is a MUST. read more

Fresh, delicious donuts that practically melt in your mouth. Don't pass up this unassuming place! We got 3 dozen donuts to bring to a church breakfast, and there were none left after we were done eating. They went fast and people wondered where we got the donuts! All in all, I was very impressed with the friendly service, amazing-tasting donuts, and an overall great experience. Would certainly come here again! read more

Just moved to the area and was prepared to be amazed. Unfortunately, I was met with average donuts that became stale rather quickly after a few hours. Cash only, which isn't a deal breaker, but only a minor inconvenience at best. Staff is friendly, and moved the line along well. Do yourself a favor and head to Old Town Donuts in Cottleville for truly exceptional donuts. read more

So fresh and so delicious. Glad they take plastic now. Fair prices for excellent food. I could eat here everyday week and never get tired of it. I'm so glad they came back. I highly recommend the glaze and the vanilla cake donuts. read more
