They are so friendly and nice! I went in prior to work to grab Donuts for my Team and got the mix of Theme Donuts for Halloween and they were a hit. This is a hidden gem that I am glad I stumbled on. There was a line but they got it handled quickly in the small unassuming building. Don't blink you just might miss it! But you will be glad you stopped in! P.S. They give military discounts. read more

Great selections of donuts and super friendly staff. We got there a little late in the morning for donuts but they still had quite a selection. Prices were reasonable too. read more

Touted as some of the best donuts in STL - and awarded number one in Missouri - I had to make the trip! Greeted by staff upon arrival and helped swiftly. Huge variety - even the fritter choice was about 5 different kinds! I ordered a mixed dozen which could include any of their items! I was even given a small curtosy discount as a first timer. Very reasonably priced. Friendly establishment with great donuts - would love to come back and support them in the near future! read more

Great donuts, maybe it was an off day. They weren't as soft as I remember before. Not sure if I would get the glazed donut again, but the blueberry I will for sure. read more

The Donut Stop - 2 Glazed and 2 blueberry donuts. - Donuts Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Donut galore! The place is so small, that is but a little detail! It is nothing to complain about because the donuts and staff here are fantasique!! I always get original flavors, I never want to try anything new which is too bad for me, but in my opinion the donuts were real tasty anyways! Not too sweet and has a delicious, tart softness to it. A real gem, all right! read more

The blueberry cake donut was good, but the 3 others were pretty bland and dry. Friendly staff though.

Better than donut drive-in, and drive-in is great too. The way donuts are meant to be made

This place is a MUST try! We were so sad that we got there late in the day but they still had an amazing selection! The wonderful woman in charge felt like visiting family, she was so kind and made an effort to make sure our first visit was memorable! She went over all the donuts, told us about the shop itself and was just so genuinely kind. Also, we had all these between just 2 of us so we kinda spent the rest of the day eating them - can confirm they never once got stale. We ate the last one at midnight & it tasted just as fresh as the ones we had when we first got home! read more

Try the cherry fritter - I've heard they also have blueberry if you get there early! Bonus points for being right next to Aldi's- pick up some milk and get home quick to devour these! They also sell milk inside here. read more

The Donut Stop - Cherry fritter - Donuts Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Haven't been here in 30 years. Why? Because I am dumb? Everything is so tasty. Just like going back to being a kid again.

I'm visiting LA and the fritters were lit. I normally don't like fritters it was da vibes for early morning

I'm afraid to share my favorite thing about The Donut Stop in fear that y'all will sell them out. The cinnamon glob is where it's at! It's basically a cinnamon roll that forgot what it was doing. It's a ball on cinnamon dough, fried, and then glazed. Get one for yourself for today and tomorrow, and then another to share with a friend. My last visit, they were sold out of cinnamon globs (probably because the secret got out when they were just voted best donut shop in Missouri by Food and Wine magazine) so the next best thing is an apple fritter. This day, they had a blueberry fritter complete with actual blueberries! Cinnamon roll was a bit dry, so not the best substitute for the glob. read more

Apple Fritters are the best ever !!! Service quick and easy with walk-ins A hidden gem ! read more

To small the help suck and the donuts are not that good and the price is to high and you have stand in line forever

Social distancing enforced at this donut shop recently touted as the best donuts in St. Louis by Food & Wine. Definitely glad I tried it and they were delicious although the MOST delicious, that's always relative. I was hoping to try their talked about CINNAMON GLOB but they were out...hence the ding of a star...that and the fact that a manager giving directions to the staff had his mask down the whole time I was there. Give them a try and see if you think the are the best in the state. Taste testing your way around town for donuts is always a worthy cause. read more

The Donut Stop - Saturday morning line - Donuts Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

BEST DONUTS ANYWHERE PERIOD There is nothing comparable to their Apple Fritters, anywhere in the STL Metro. Plus, it seems to be a family operation. Every Saturday morning you have grandma and a couple kids running the counter, Dad and another kid baking, plus one more kid doing dishes way in the back. We drive 20 miles to get our donuts here. It is an inspiring place. read more

Rating: 4.2 Stars This was my first experience The Donut Stop. A coworker brought in donuts, and she invited me to try some. I had the Vanilla Long John and the Apple Fritter. The Vanilla Long John has solid flavor, and it was a bit denser than other Long Johns that I have had. The vanilla icing had a great sweetness. The Apple Fritter was pretty solid. I am not a big Apple Fritter fan, but there weren't too many options left for me to choose from. This Apple Fritter had generous apple slices. Ultimately, I would get it again. Frankly, given my love for Pharaoh's Donuts, I never would have thought to come here. I'd like to go here to get fresh donuts in my favorite flavors to compare this to other donut shops. Pharaoh's Donuts is definitely superior to The Donut Stop, but this is a solid option for sure in St. Louis if you need donuts. read more

The best cake donuts hands down. I've never had a place keep their donuts so moist and delicious. The real star: a blueberry fritter!! I didn't even know these existed...now I can't live without it. People in line had been going to this spot for 20-40 years and I can definitely see why. Yum read more

STOP. HERE. We're making our way across country stopping at well-reviewed donut shops and THIS is a must stop. We unfortunately visited at the end of their hours which usually means leftover donuts. not in this case. fresh, incredible well fried dough with just the right amount of sugary filings. our favorites: whipped cream chocolate iced long john and the chocolate iced peanut butter filled! well done, Donut Stop! read more

I placed a large order (3 dozen) by phone and it was ready for pickup when I arrived (within the hour). The customer service was phenomenal. The donuts smelled amazing. The price for a dozen donuts was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend. This was worth the drive. read more

It's been a year, so decided to give the Donut Stop another try. In the past, my favorites things to get there have always been their fritters and fried pies, and they had neither at 8:30am. No jelly donuts either. :( Was gonna give a 2 star rating due to selection but the cinnamon raisin glob I opted to try was good so bumping to 3 star. Guess I can't go there looking forward to buying something specific, and will just have to take the "Forrest Gump - life's like a box of chocolates and you never know what you will get" approach. read more

This place is a legit institution. All of thier pastries are executed in a manner that just soothes the soul. Each decadent bite of fried dough lifts your spirits in a manner equal to very few other legal activities to be sure. You e tried the rest now stop playing and get the best! Bsmith. read more

GOT MILK? Yes they do! The Donut Stop, on Lemay, is AWESOME! Hands down, the best donuts in the greater St Louis area. Warm fulfilling glazed donuts creamy custard fried pies cinnamon globs apple fritters ____ "Offering a dozen donut flavors is fine, but 103 -- the amount you'll find on this landmark menu is incomparable" We love this place.

Don't get it. Seriously, I do not understand all these 5 Star reviews for these donuts. I was not impressed. I stopped by when my favorite radio station was broadcasting live, expecting to be blown away. It didn't happen. I always judge a donut shop by their Chocolate Long Johns and the one I had here was dry and rather flavorless. It was chewy and a bottle of milk didn't even help. I think my second one was a Buttermilk type donut. This one, I took only a single bite and threw it back in the bag. Yeah, it was that good. It had to be an off day, they were slammed with a popular radio station in their parking lot. Next time I'm headed south to shop at Costco, I'll detour and give them a second chance. As of now, I think the donuts at TDS are just average. A Long John at QT is fresher and better. The staff was friendly and I liked that the young lady asked if I wanted my Long John plain or creme filled. Customer Service was good and they kept up with the busy crowd. I'll be back? - Everyone deserves a second chance. When: August 9, 2019 Why: 1st Experience - Radio Broadcast read more

Another top notch classic donut shop in STL. Ask what's fresh and get that. I haven't had anything bad yet. read more

We were looking for a great home style donut place. THIS IS IT!!! I highly recommend this little place. We were headed to the hospital to see my grandson at Cardinal Glennon and we left here with 3 dozen donuts and everyone absolutely loved them!!! Service was awesome. Please spread the word of this amazing little donut shop. Thank you so much for making our trip a little better. Love and blessings to your business!! read more

The Donut Stop - Just a small idea of all the selections. Hi check them out if you're in the area - Donuts Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

I came to St. Louis to visit family. At the airport my wallet was lost or stolen, not sure. One morining a week into our trip I woke up earlya nd wanted to surprise the kids with donuts from a real donut shop. I borrowed a family members car and drove out to the Donut Shop. On arrival I realized, oh yeah, my wallet is gone. I gasped as soon as I walked in the door, even before picking out donuts. I said "im so sorry, I cant believe I forgot I have no way to pay. I lost my wallet." I had not picked out a single donut yet! I had only been in the shop 20 seconds. But still the owner said, "pick out whatever you want, its on me. Its my shop." I couldnt believe their kindness. I got a dozen donuts and the kids and family LOVED them. I was so appreciative of their kindness. Thank you. read more

Best donut shop in St. Louis. The fritters are unbelievable. This is not low cholesterol and low sugar just 5+ taste.

Best donuts in the world. Try the blueberry fritter. My second trip to St Louis and this time I was sad because we weren't staying anywhere near it. But ordered Uber Eats and they were still as good as the first time read more

Great donuts and great service! Very efficient. Large selection of donuts and donut holes. Not a place to stay and eat. No tables but nevertheless I'd go back again and again! read more

Been going to Donut Stop since I was a kid and they have always had the best donuts in town. I have had donuts from almost every shop in St. Louis and some come close, but not a single one tops Donut Stop. read more

Maybe it was bad choices but 3 donuts for $5 69 is ridiculous. Apple fritter was ok as was the chocolate cake donut. The third was a filled long john when I asked for a regular non filled. It was like biting into a huge sugar cube one bite and in the trash. On top of that there was a sliver of metal in the fritter, probably from the mixer. Needless to say I won't be back. read more

I LOVE their donuts. Best donuts in town and I'm very picky. I haven't had a bad one yet.

Wow!!! These donuts are amazing! Lots of options. I came around 9am and a lot had sold out but still many options. These donuts are so fresh, not super doughy. The donuts aren't slimy are stale. Prefect donuts!! Customer service is great too, everyone is very friendly! Definitely a must try! read more

Best donut shop in the entire world literally!!! They've been in business long before I was born and Im in my 40s. We've always had dozens of their donuts on the weekends and stopped in nearly every day for breakfast before work and everyone else at our Machine Shop does too!!! Hope their in business until long after I'm gone! No one makes donuts like this anymore. Really, there's nothing else like them!!!! read more
