    Yoooooo. Yall know donuts are my LIFE. I'm so happy to finally get around to trying Pharoah's donuts. I got 2 vanilla sprinkle donuts for my daughters. They were so delicious, soft and perfectly sweet. I have been back twice since then. They are a little pricey. I spent six dollars on two donuts. The customer service is also great every time we come in. Will definitely come back for my twice a month cheat breakfast meal.

    BIG glazed donuts!

    OMG! Best donuts I have ever had, hands down. In an era when the Dunkin Donut has shrunk and it takes three or four to feel full, Pharaohs is bucking the trend. I walked to the small location in the Central West End. Parking looked limited. They bring the donuts in from another location but they were still warm when I got them! Can't recall if any seating inside but there are sidewalk benches on the street outside. Easy to walk or drive past the small and unassuming storefront so keep your eyes peeled. Black-owned and staffed business. Very friendly folks. Highly recommended.

    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.

    I hate to leave a bad review, but it was the weirdest interaction.. or lack there of, I guess??…read more The website and the hours on the door say it closes at 10pm. I got there around 8:45pm. As I was walking to the door, I see a man cleaning the tables. He walks toward the door as I'm walking up to it. We're literally standing face to face with the door in between us. 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.

    This was my second time coming to this place…read more The staff is so inviting and friendly and are willing to answer any and every question you have. 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.

It really helped us to be able to make our decisions before ordering. We tried about 3 different jellies: lychee/coconut, aiyu is just sugar that has a flavor so we opted to pass once we asked right before trying it-it had a brown look to it. They do have a note that tapioca is not ready until 1030 AM each day. I ordered passionfruit with lychee with 50% less sugar with light ice. It was just right in sweetness. I like the tartness of passion fruit and that amount of sugar allowed for that with a slight sweetness. I loved that the seeds are in the juice. The drink was delicious.

Honestly that's what sold us! Arrived and promptly ordered that dessert and the carrot cake. Then the server told us of their "to die for" tiramisu and my partner immediately said yes.

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.
