There was a small line of about three or four people, but it moved quickly. It's a mix of newcomers and regulars. Plus, they stay open late! The staff there are kinda hilarious. Their sense of humor really makes the small wait not so bad. It is a tiny shop, but it works. You can see them baking fresh batches around the clock, and they have a glass case where you can pick out your donuts. You can get a quick bag or a full box, the prices are super affordable. As for the donuts, they were delicious and so moist. I even saved a few for the next day, and they were still fresh. I get why the locals are coming back to this spot. I will definitely be back.

I explained it was my 1st time, they guided me to the menu, and waited for me to select. I chose a dozen mixed & fell in love from the 1st bite. Donuts: AMAZING! Warm, soft, flaky & full of yummy goodness. When your eyes roll back in your head goodness. I texted my mother and told her about it goodness.

This place will change your life, but it might also ruin your life. I finally understand what a…read moregood hand pie (and good donut) tastes like, but my life is also permanently ruined because now my standards and expectations for other places will be extremely high. My friend and I split a dill cream cheese hand pie ($11), sausage gravy hand pie ($11), and apple fritter ($6). The crust on the hand pies was so flaky, and baked just enough so that it developed a toasty, nutty flavor without getting burnt. Each hand pie was stuffed with savory filling that wasn't overpowering in saltiness. My mouth is watering while writing this! I usually go for the savory instead of sweet option but my friend insisted that we get a donut and I am glad we did. This was probably the best apple fritter I've ever had in my life! It had chunks of apple that I could see and taste. The dough was so fluffy and soft. I could even taste the subtle brown butter flavor in the glaze! So good! If I lived next door to this place, you'd find me here every day.

Blending in on a street near Shaw, this is a must stop spot. Me and my wife shared a Bacon Breakfast sandwich and then the special French silk and Yuzu macadamia nut long John's. They also gave us a free regular donut since we said it was our first time visiting! The sandwich is the epitome of sometimes keeping it simple is best. It was so tasty, the bread was so fluffy with a slight crunch from a toast. Delicious aioli brought it all together. The donuts...I hope these long John's become regular items because GOODNESS they were tasty. Definitely stop by to try each before they are gone if not. Overall I know we will be back, especially because we didn't even try a hand pie this time...whoops. A cute and tasty spot with some great people working there.

I don't usually write reviews for doughnut shops, but a friend of mine casually mentioned, "I hear…read morethe doughnuts here are pretty good. Never tried them myself". So, of course, I stopped in. First clue what the line out the door...and let me tell you, it was an absolute game changer! The moment I walked in, the aroma of fresh, sugary goodness enveloped me. I ordered a dozen (why not?). Ended up snacking on those for the next day or so. Hands down the best doughnut I've ever had. Right there in a St. Louis suburb.

I ended up moving farther away for a…read morewhile, and after coming back, I was honestly a little hesitant to return because of an incident that happened a few years ago. What stuck with me more than the issue itself was how it was handled, fully understand that things happen, but taking ownership and explaining how you'll prevent it in the future really matters. That said, I finally decided to give them another try. Most of my experiences here have actually been positive. The majority of the staff are patient and give you time to look over all the flavors without making you feel rushed, which I appreciate. But my most recent visit left a bad impression. I stopped by early one Sunday morning around 6 AM to grab donuts for my nursing unit, and I was the only person in the store. Despite that, I felt rushed the entire time. The employee helping me didn't seem like she wanted to be there and wasn't very pleasant, which kind of threw off the whole experience. On the plus side, I do love that they're open 24 hours, super convenient, and the donuts themselves are good. My go-to is the Caramel Bacon Long John (definitely worth trying). Runner up is the Apple fritter.I will say, though, the flavor, texture, and even the size can be a little inconsistent at times. Another thing I've noticed is the pricing. I understand costs have gone up everywhere, but paying around $30 for a box of donuts, especially with upcharges for "specialty" ones feels a bit steep. Pro tip: check their website for coupons or deals before you go. It definitely helps. Overall, I'd still say give them a try and form your own opinion. This has just been my experience.

Or at least that's what I like to romanticize. My wife and I are kicking off donut Wednesday with a trip to Donut House on Morganford. I described ourselves to the proprietor as long-time passersby, first-time stopper in. We had been by Donut House 100s of times and decided to make Donut House our inaugural Donut Wednesday stop (we'll probably do every other or 1 out of 3 Wednesdays). We both have our favorites...hers blueberry cake, apple fritter, cinnamon roll. His...blueberry cake, apple fritter and a custard filled chocolate. Not disappointed at all, these donuts were great! The blueberry cakes were light, fluffy and blueberry bombs. The apple fritter was like a light, fluffy deep fried apple pie...great cinnamon and tart apple...maybe the best I've ever had. The custard filled chocolate is my personal litmus test...this one was good but not great. Could have used more custard BUT is there ever a bad donut??? NEVER. Glad we stopped in and will do so again. FYI there is seating inside and plenty of off street parking. Plus the light at Morganford / Seibert makes going an easy in / out. Oh and there is a drive thru...way too easy.
