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.

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 had to travel to White Oak on a recent Saturday morning, which is a neighborhood that I rarely…read morevisit. Naturally, I had to seek out a donut shop on the way in my quest to find not only the perfect donut in Pittsburgh... but the world. I looked for shops along the way and found the Corner Donut Shop, located at the corner of a strip mall on the McKeesport/White Oak border. It's open from 6 a.m. to noon, so I called ahead an order the day before knowing I wouldn't be able to pick up the donuts until about 11:30 a.m., figuring they would be low on options when I arrived. Surprisingly, there still were a decent number of options left when I stopped, but calling ahead an order was the right idea, since I was able to get exactly what I wanted. The shop itself was clean and had a solid variety. The seating area was blocked off because of Covid precautions, but looked like it would be a nice spot to hang out and have some coffee. Now for the donuts: Cake donut with vanilla frosting and sprinkles: Very soft, dense, and chewy, both the donut and frosting were mildly sweet. It felt like an upgraded Entenmann's donut. I prefer a cake donut with a crispy exterior, but this was still tasty. Cinnamon roll: The cinnamon roll is a special donut, not included as a part of a half dozen or dozen. It was quite large, soft, and had a subtle sweetness with a noticeably stronger cinnamon flavor than most other cinnamon rolls I've had. I enjoyed the strong cinnamon flavor, and would welcome other shops kicking up the cinnamon level in their cinnamon rolls. Vanilla cream filled: This was the sweetest donut of theirs that I tried, buoyed by a massive amount of vanilla cream. The actual donut itself was doused in powdered sugar and was a bit dry, but overall, it was balanced well by the cream filling. Toasted coconut cream: By far, this was the best donut I tried. Reminiscent of a coconut cream pie, the base is a raised donut, topped with vanilla cream and toasted coconut. The layered arrangement of the donut is unique, and avoids the common foible of cream popping out of the donut when you take a bite. The coconut was nicely toasted, and the vanilla cream was a perfect complement. If you visit this shop and like coconut, you need to try this donut. If I'm in the area, I would definitely visit the Corner Donut Shop for another toasted coconut cream donut and to try some other varieties. It's a solid little neighborhood donut shop with good variety, reasonably priced (I paid about $9 for a half dozen and a cinnamon roll). Check it out if you're in the area.

Not too friendly, yet also not rude, I think maybe just a bit shy. I went here in particular because I saw they had gluten free everything bagels & vegan cream cheese, so I was sooo excited to order it, but unfortunately they did not have any gluten free bagels at that time. I looked around for another GF & DF option, and landed on a couple of hard boiled eggs. Can't go wrong with a hard boiled egg, hehehe! I ordered a cold brew with the sugar free hazelnut & asked for extra syrup, which I soon determined was not necessary. That's a great thing though! It was an amazing sugar free syrup & if you get the SF hazelnut I'd suggest just keeping the amount as is. Their cold brew itself was really yummy too (well from what I could tell because I accidentally asked for too much syrup, hahaha). It is so stinkin' cute inside this shop and I wish I had more time to look around a bit. I definitely plan to go back, and fingers crossed I can try the GF everything bagel next time! I'd love to look around more inside & actually dine in, because it felt wicked cozy! I also love that they offer glassware options for those who dine-in, plus they use compostable items for take-out. Heck yeah! I really recommend checking this place out :)

The donuts, Oreo & sprinkle, had amazing toppings and filling but the donut itself was dry.

COFFEE & DRINKS: The black coffee sits between Dunkin' and Starbucks in terms of strength--not weak, but not overly bold either. The Turkish espresso was excellent and came with nice presentation (traditional cups, tray, and utensil). FOOD: Tried the butter croissant, almond croissant, chocolate mousse cake, and Turkish delights (similar to gummy candy). All were fresh and worth ordering. SEATING: 5-7 laptop-friendly spots depending on how you count the larger booths. Mix of booth and table seating, all comfortable for extended sessions. LAPTOP-FRIENDLY: Outlets available in the booth seating and alongside the larger tables. WiFi was reliable. Generally quiet during off-peak hours. ATMOSPHERE: Warm, modern, cozy Mediterranean vibe with earthy colors, soft lighting, and comfy booths. Relaxed environment that's inviting and calm--stylish without being precious or flashy. Conducive to both focus work, dates, and casual meetings. SERVICE: Baristas were friendly and sociable without being intrusive. VALUE: Standard pricing for a quality local cafe. GOOD TO KNOW: Parking can be tricky in Squirrel Hill if you're unfamiliar with the area, but street parking is ample (paid/metered or free with some walking) if you're willing to walk a short distance. Open late. Study-friendly locations near CMU tend to be busier during fall and spring semesters. I'll be back regularly for work sessions.

The Turkish coffee was served in a very unique way. They brought out the general coffee separate from a foam, which you could then mix or drink separately. Very cool, not too bitter, good texture.

I honestly wanted to try another one of their special drinks, but they were out. I recommend the special menu! The space itself is decently small but nice, and the girl working there was sweet and the spot is open late!
