    Donuts
    Jamal W.

    The ascetic of Pharoahs Donut is not much. They can do much better to make it more appealing. They don't have any decor. The service was nice. There was only one staff member present. She did a great job of taking care of us. She suggested other things as well. The donuts are amazing. The were fresh and very delicious . Come and give this place a try if you was great tasting donuts.

    One of my friends loves this donut place and says it's one of her favorites in Saint Louis so I decided to give it a try! It's a small hole in the wall donut shop in the Central West End (kind of discreetly tucked away into a corner). Inexpensive and no frills. I like the glazed ones' texture! The cinnamon one was a bit harder and a bit too sweet (but they are donuts after all)!

    Pharaoh's has become a household staple given how reliable the quality is and how well-priced everything is. It's so easy to overlook it on a walkabout in Maryland Plaza because it's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but it's definitely worth checking out. Service was quick and good. They've got all the classics and some fun ones that seem to be on rotation/based on season. The classics are as you'd expect them to be. Some of my favorites that I've tried are the cinnamon roll one (the perfect combination between a light, glazed donut and the flavors and swirl of a cinnamon roll) and the apple fritter (just such a solid pick with flavor and texture). They close pretty early and can run out every so often, so it's recommended to grab your donuts earlier in the day if possible!

    Donut time!

    Great little shop on Maryland. Small donut counter but the basics are covered. Glazed. Cake. Jelly. Long Johns. Glazed. My favorite. Must get. Light. Tasty. Fluffy. Blueberry cake. Was good but not my favorite. Boston crème. Good. I would definitely return and get a dozen glazed.

    I come every Saturday to get the cake donuts and they are consistently good. I've noticed the downtown location seems to have more flavor variety than the CWE. They are 10 minutes apart so it's good to try both

    This little hidden gem in St. Louis is everything you'd want from a local mom-and-pop donut shop. The donuts were incredibly fresh and delicious, paired perfectly with a simple cup of black coffee. The shop has a slightly run-down vibe, and the area might feel a little sketchy, but that's part of the charm - it's authentic, unpretentious, and clearly loved by locals. The service was friendly and the staff are funny. For what you'd expect from a local mom and pop shop, they're doing awesome, and I love supporting small businesses like this! Definitely worth a visit.

    Don't expect frills, but do expect yummy donuts and friendly service at this dive doughnut shop. Parking is off street by meter. It's a very small store front you can easily drive by, I did. The area was clean. There is no dining in or tables or outside. It's carry out only. The selection was still pretty good at around 930 on a Sunday. There is a single smallish case. My kids got a few varieties. I got a blueberry cake type. The prices were a steal. We took our doughnuts over to another business across the street to enjoy. The doughnut were fresh and overall pretty good. I've had better, but still tasty. I would have no issue returning.

    Since John's Donuts is ALL THE WAY IN SOULARD. Pharaoh's Donuts has been picking up the slack. No, but really. Pharaoh's is close to work and they offer the best donuts in the area and beyond. My sister hipped me on to them. She's the donut queen and has extremely GREAT taste in donuts. So when the opportunity presented itself to try Pharaoh's I hopped on it. I love their donuts. The quality is bar none. They are fresh and just out of this world delicious!!!! Did I mention they are large and in charge. I don't know what their donut recipe is but HOT DAMN, they are sitting on a gold mine.

    Customer service was fantastic! Loved chatting with the employees while I picked out some donuts The donuts are amazing. Every single one we tried was delicious. My favorite was the blueberry cake donut (but that's also my go to donut anywhere so I'm biased) This is a great place to go to if you want delicious classic donuts with a mix in or some specialty flavors.

The flavors are plentiful, the creativity is unmatched, and the quality of the ingredients is truly unrivaled. I honestly don't think there's a better cheesecake shop that I've encountered anywhere in my travels. The staff is generally very helpful and welcoming, with Lindsy in particular being a consistent standout at the front register over the years. I've been a loyal customer for a long time and have easily spent thousands of dollars on Hank's cheesecakes for both personal celebrations and professional events. The product itself has always been worth every penny. That said, I was disappointed to learn of the new policy charging $2 simply to slice a cheesecake. When purchasing a $25-$400+ cheesecake, an additional fee for a task that takes roughly 20 seconds feels unnecessary and, frankly, a bit off-putting. While I understand that rising costs are impacting businesses everywhere, this type of nickel-and-diming can feel discouraging--especially to long-standing, repeat customers who have consistently supported the business. Hank's Cheesecake remains exceptional, and the product is second to none. I hope management reconsiders this policy, as it slightly detracts from what has otherwise been an outstanding customer experience for many loyal patrons.

They made a fresh pot of coffee and even went the extra mile to go get ice as we came in later in the evening and they had run out. I did tell them they didn't need to, but he insisted which I thought was outstanding. This quaint little café is so charming inside. It allows people to gather eat a sweet treat and have general conversation conversations where you can actually hear one another. They do have outside seating too. The chocolate cake was soft and as a non-cake lover I found this very delicious. Definitely worthy of sharing. I ordered a quiche to go. I had mentioned they didn't have the spinach feta pastry that I had before. The gentleman stated we have some in the back, I'm happy to get you one. So I ordered that too. And although this was only our second time coming, the fact that they'll make a fresh pot of coffee in my opinion is key to a great café. I will keep this in my rotation of places to go.

I smile, he is stone faced. I go to open the door as he walks away. The door is locked. I try a few more times, thinking maybe it's me. I look around at the hours again, but next to it is a "we're open" sign. I try maybe 3-4 times more before I give up. I walk to the window and he's sitting at a table toward the back, looking at me. We just look at each other, then he looks at his computer. I turn toward my car, then turn back around and he's still looking at me! I sat in my car, confused. He never looked back up from his computer, so I left. Highly disappointed.

I loved that the location had a good parking lot and was easy to get to. The decor and ambiance are designed to give you a feeling of luxury. We had a party of 6 and the round table we were placed at was the perfect size for conversation but still had room for all of our food and plated. Waitress was very helpful and attentive. The wine and bourbon list was massive and I recommend that you do your research in advance. It is way too big to really explore at the table. Bourbons were kind of high priced but, "fine dining" so expected. House salad is really good and fresh with nice light, balanced ingredients. We tried the korean cauliflower and bread service for apps. The cauliflower was ok but I wouldn't order again. It was a little disappointing that they charge for bread service. A single order comes with 5 pieces of bread, connected but tearable, and each a pretty small finger-sized piece. The board they served it on had a well full of olive oil and that was a mess. It was hard to pass without spilling and hard to share the oil since you had to pass the whole big bread board with it. Definitely a form over function thing that caused some frustration. Most of my party got steaks and all were very happy. 2 of my party got their steaks tuscan style and although they really liked the flavors on the meat, they wished they had not gotten salads first since the tuscan style plate replaced the usual potato and veg side with an arugula salad (so double salads for those folks). One person got the pork chop and it was massive, seemed like he liked it. I got the tagliatelle ragu and it was a good portion, not obscene but I had leftovers. It kind of tasted like pot roast pasta in a decent way. I don't know if I would get it again but I was not disappointed. 2 in our party ordered dessert, creme brulee and chocolate torte. The chocolate torte was phenomenal and one person said they would have come just for that. Not a lot of non-alcohol after dinner drink options. I ordered drip coffee and it was better than most I have had after dinner at supposedly nice restaurants, although it wasn't amazing. Some at our table ordered port and the bottle was humungous - a very amusing presentation. We were celebrating 4 birthdays among our 6 diners and they brought us a very nice plate of warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookies cut into quarters to share. This was a PERFECT birthday acknowledgement. We didn't need a big dessert per person or one to share with 6 spoons. It was small, delicious, and a gracious gift. If I could do half stars I would give 4.5. There were some small misses that I would not expect from a restaurant of this caliber. It was a lovely dining experience and I would go back in a heartbeat. I really like when a restaurant lives up to its reputation and I think Truffles does.

We started with the Korean fried cauliflower and it was honestly some of the best I've ever had. The batter was light, fluffy, and crispy, and the gochujang sauce with the mayo was sweet and sticky in the best way. Since it's a butchery, we had to try the steaks. I ordered the 4oz filet Oscar style. The meat was tender and very well seasoned, the crab was fresh, and the homemade hollandaise really pulled it all together. My husband had the ribeye. It was a flavorful cut, a little fatty (as ribeye tends to be), but exactly what you'd expect from that cut. The steaks come with a twice-baked potato and vegetable (or you can swap for different vegetables). The potato was flavorful but fairly dense. We also did the bread service - it was good, but felt a bit pricey for the portion. We ended with the flourless chocolate torte, which was very rich and the perfect way to finish the meal - especially on Valentine's Day. Overall, the food was good and the menu is solid. The quality was there, but the portions, bread service and sides didn't fully meet expectations. That said, it was still a lovely experience and a great date-night spot.
