I was greeted immediately and placed my order at the counter. I asked for my iced coffee to be half as sweet with a splash of half and half. I think they were a little heavier on the half and half than I would've liked, but the coffee was still good. The prices always amaze me, tho! Over $5 for a grande with so much ice

Madsen Donuts is a small restaurant chain that first opened in 1938 in Erie. This particular…read morelocation is in Castle Shannon. The menu lists several flavors of donuts of "raised"/stick donuts and "round" donuts. Raised donuts include the following flavors: Cream Sticks (marshmallow filling with chocolate topping), Jelly Sticks (raspberry-jelly filling with sugar coating), Cinnamon Sticks (cinnamon glaze), and Glazed. Round donuts include the following flavors: Glazed, Powdered Sugar, Chocolate, Peanut (with marshmallow cream), Cinnamon Sugar, Plain Old-fashioned, and Sprinkle (with marshmallow cream). I chose the Raspberry Jelly Stick, and my husband chose the Chocolate Cream Stick. The employee provided excellent service in greeting us, patiently waiting for us to decide our flavors, and processing our payment. I do recommend that the business add labels near the donuts, but the employee did explain the flavors to us. Each donut cost $1.90. Both of our donuts tasted very good. This business also had a refrigerator of bottled beverages, including milks, teas, Gatorades, coffees, and water.

Starting in 2008, PLLD has taken Pittsburgh by storm with franchises popping up all over the area but the true start is right here in the Strip District... well two doors down, but who would fault them for moving into the corner spot when it became available. As humble of beginnings, the owner bought a donut machine from a friend's garage that didn't seem to work quite right. Finally working, all that could seem to be produced were this little donuts. Fast forward six months to the owner realizing he installed one component backwards... but the craze of little donuts had already been born! The shop is funkadelic! With the constant parade of fresh mini donuts being fried and topped right in front of you - you can be assured that yours will be hot and fresh. The toppings are always changing and they have display donuts right in front of you so you can eye up which you want to devour! Plus with mini donuts, you can grab quite a variety and tell yourself that 4 or 5 of these would equal the calories of a normal donut... right?! The employees greet you with a fresh cinnamon sugar donut to sample - a tradition that started last June on National Donut Day and they just never seemed to stop! For our Strip District Food Tour, we each got a little donut. We chose the Elvis, Dirt, Chocolate Chip Pancake, and Tres Leches. What a glorious little bite! Perfect combos of sweet and salty - that are almost as pretty to look at as they are to devour!

So many different flavors to choose from, they are tiny donuts though, individually hand dipped as you order and the batter is similar to a 'cake batter' which is denser and lightly crumblier than a typical donut. We tried a dozen for our boys. They also have a sitting area upstairs. They are good, however they are extremely sweet. I felt like my glucose level spiked 10x with the first bite!

What a charm!…read more Stumbled into here almost by accident, while waiting for another shop on the street to open up for business. Had to take a couple donuts "to go" so I could just get out of the elements of the weather. I'm so glad I did. I learned that all of the donuts are made fresh in house DAILY with real ingredients... and there was a wide variety of options! You can tell just by looking at them, that they're fresh and different than others you've ever tried before. Check them out. Truly, you can tell that these are handmade donuts. Yum! The shop is cute, a bit rustic looking, but suits Carson Street so well. There are some little stickers and nick nacks around the shop, but nothing too crazy, just very particular and with purpose. Please stop in here next time you're around for a visit.

I can't say I've had many donuts from donut shops across my life, but these were the best I've had yet. I got lucky on a Friday morning before Fourth of July and had some luck that they weren't completely sold out. I went in and only wanted a glazed doughnut to see if they were as good as everyone says, but I left with a good variety of donuts, all of which were incredible. Each staff member was incredibly helpful, and helped me pick based on stuff that I like. They could definitely charge a lot more. This place is super cheap.

Showing up this early only for people ahead of you walk out with 3-5 boxes at a time. The hurdles aren't worth it. Now, if someone else brought them to an event and had them available - I would not scoff don't get me wrong, I'd have one (maybe two). I just can't get on board with this place philosophically. The mystique and purposeful scarcity of both selection and what leads to closing quite early is at this point trivial. But it appears the scarcity is the appeal. This is (currently) the NFTs of donuts. We got an assorted dozen and my wife and I were both of the mind "these are all average." Though we were aligned and agreed their Old Fashioned donut is the standout. That one is extremely cravable. Frankly, our experience left so much to be desired that we're content not to go back. I'd recommend not wasting your time either.

The price is very depending on what type of treat you want, if it is plain sugar or dipped with frosting or with all the goodies on top... but none are more than two dollars apiece. There isn't much else here except for drinks and merch if you want a T-shirt or a hat or something like that. So be just prepared for donuts.
