Donuts
Michael S.

this place was an absolute knockout. Simply put, divine. The best way to describe it is a slight step above Duck Donuts and 20 above Peace, Love and Little Donuts All donuts come out fresh and hot. Who doesn't love that. Not only were they fresh but all the bases were delicious. Chocolate, vanilla, blueberry and a pumpkin for the season. Then the amount of creations were awesome. The owners will help recommend a bunch of different creations too MAKE SURE to ask about other topping options because they had even more than the board said and pre custom made ones like Nutty Buddy, S'mores, PB&J, etc. We had so many different ones that I can't even go into detail because it'll be too long but when you go YOU MUST make a blueberry base, with lemon icing and crumb topping. Also absolutely get the PB&J, S'mores with pumpkin base and Nutty Buddy. Inside has little seating but not many people are grabbing donuts to eat in there I will be a frequent customer.

Donuts!

Fresh and delicious. Friendly staff. Ability to order in advance online with quick confirmation.

Easter donuts are so cute to bring to your celebration.

They take such care in making your custom donuts here. I also love their homemade pastries and other desserts. All I can say is I dare you to resist them when you walk in! The specialty donuts they make for holidays are epic. See some of my examples below and decide for yourself.

My wife and I have stopped by here on numerous Sunday mornings in the past two months. Valencia Donuts is located right on 228 and we were drawn into it by the donuts sign outside. We didn't know what we were getting ourselves into the first time that we entered the place but were excited to see that you could customize everything about the donut. You pick between vanilla, chocolate and blueberry donuts and they pull it out of something that is keeping it warm. Next you are given the option to get it filled with Bavarian creme or raspberry jelly. The filling machine injects it directly into the donut which is quite cool and there is no mess. Once that is done you can choose an icing with the choices being vanilla, lemon, chocolate, orange, glazed, maple or strawberry. Finally you get to top it off with cinnamon and sugar, nuts, coconut or any number of different combos of sprinkles. All of this can be done on single donuts, half dozens or dozens. Every time that my wife and I have been here the employees have been super pleasant with us. My favorite at this point in time is a blueberry donut filled with Bavarian creme and I have been rotating between fillings and toppings trying to find the perfect one! The bottom line for me is that I will stop by here again and again in the future. It's a nice little treat that tastes good and I love that you are able to customize it. So do yourself a favor and stop by if you happen to be driving by and they are open.

If you're in the area and wanting some donuts or attending a function. Stop at Valencia Donuts. They are made to order and from what I can tell, they have chocolate, vanilla, and blueberry cake donuts, and you pick your topics on the spot. The donuts come out warm, and the toppings are very tasty. I love all things lemon, and the lemon donut was delicious. I ended up picking up two dozen for a Gun Dog function and all the guys who tried one, asked where they came from. On a cold crisp day, a warm donut sure fills the soul. Glad I stopped.

Mouth watering donuts from Valencia. Cake doughnut with icing and sprinkles. Absolutely amazing, so fresh, fluffy snd delightful!

Adorable donuts!
Brittney P.

These donuts were awesome! I went yesterday with my son, as we ordered some St Patrick's day donuts last week. It is a little bit of a drive for us, but we heard so many good things, I had to try this place! The two ladies working yesterday were so kind and thoughtful. They decorated our donuts with a lot of attention to the details, as I told them these were mostly for kids in my neighborhood. The donuts were very fresh and delicious, and the customer service there was top notch. I will definitely be back in the future! Highly recommend visiting this place!

These were good donuts and they get bonus points for having a unique shtick. I wouldn't have thought much of the donut if I had just gotten it in a box. But it was a fun experience to go in and pick the different components for a customized treat. My other half got decision-blindness when we walked in and he put everything in my hands. 1) Blueberry donut with bavarian cream stuffing, vanilla icing, and coconut 2) Vanilla donut with chocolate stuffing, strawberry icing, and walnuts The donuts are sort of a cross between a cake donut and a regular donut, kinda like a very soft chewy cake donut. The texture was unique. They were small, which was a plus in our book. The way they get stuffed is by poking icing into four holes (these are not cavernous jelly donuts). Then dipped in the icing and then the topping. So they are decorated to order but not made to order. I tried to make sure we had complementary flavor combinations going on, but it seemed a little tricky to figure it out. If I could repeat it, I would have skipped the stuffing, as it the combo of filling plus icing pushed it a big over the sweetness edge. There are a couple of tables to eat there and a cooler with milk. We took them to go and ate in a nearby park as we'd brought our own milk, not knowing they'd have some there.

Excellent donuts! Fresh and customizable cake creations of your favorite donuts can be found here. I love raspberry filled vanilla with coconut! Go ahead and find your favorite! This is kind of like the Chipotle of donuts!

There wasn't a wait but it was nice to be able to see the options and choose ahead of time, and everything was there and ready to go! My donuts today taste great so far, I had a seasonal key lime pie flavor that was spot on, though a TINY bit on the sweet side. Then again, I opted for key lime so I should've known! Fresh donuts are definitely the way to go. I tried a gas station Oram's cinnamon roll once and that was a real bummer. Only minus one star because something was off about the taste of the glazed raised donut, not off as in spoiled, simply off as in not quite to my personal preference. Would definitely stop by again if I'm around!

Peace Love & Little Donuts is a donut chain that was founded in Pittsburgh and now has locations in…read moremany states. Donuts are classified has Groovy (granular, glazed, powder, or plain), Far-out (frosted), and Funkadelic (frosted with toppings). The donuts are small but are actually a nice size for eating. Examples of Groovy donuts are Saigon Cinnamon and Honey Glazed. Examples of Far-out donuts are Mocha and Banana. Examples of Funkadelic donuts are Snick Jagger, Heath Wind and Fire, PB & J, Buttafinga, Samoa, S'mores, Raspberry Truffle, Robert Brûlée, Maple Bacon, Dirt, Banana Split, and Apple Pie. As soon as my husband and I entered this store, the two employees courteously said hello to us. We decided to order six donuts for us and two donuts for our dog. Some donuts were already pre-made, and other donuts had to be made for us. The employees did a good job of applying icing and toppings to our donuts. We ate our donuts at home. Our flavors were Banana, Boston Cream, Cherry Pie, Fruity Pebbles, Raspberry Lemonade, and Strawberry French Toast. We thought that these donuts tasted good. My dog apparently also enjoyed her donuts. (See the attached photo of her!)

They were doing a deal that if you purchased a half dozen you could get a coffee for free. I don't drink coffee so they offered me one free cinnamon sugar donut, which was kind of them! So why three stars? It's fun, there are lots of options, but honestly, it's appalling how much six tiny donuts cost! Nearly $10! I can get a DOZEN full size donuts at Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts for the same price. Now, you may say, they don't have as many "fun flavors" but to me, it was not worth it. Great service, friendly staff, fun flavors, but I wouldn't waste the money on such tiny donuts again. Haha!

I was very skeptical of the hype around this place. I generally am not the type to stand in a very…read morelong line for food. But I was in the area one Saturday morning around 9 am and the line looked manageable so figured I'd try and see if I could get some. I waited maybe 10-15 mins, so not too bad. My 5-star review is 100% due to the old fashioned donut. When it was my turn to order they had literally just brought out a tray of donuts that looked really good. I asked what they were and was told "old fashioned". Since they just came out fresh I decided to get a couple. I should've got a dozen of just those. Since it was my first time I picked several others to try and they were all fine, but the old fashioned - elite. I would definitely wait in another (10-15 min manageable) line for those specifically. My husband had to talk me down from returning the next day to get more lol.

If you are truly looking for some of the best donuts in the Pittsburgh area, then look no further…read more Better Maid is a locally-owned small business with some of the best cake donuts I have ever tasted. Located on Steuben Street in the West End, this shop dates back several decades. It is located in an unassuming white building, with little signage. However, there is plenty of street parking along with the private lot on the side. This place does not necessarily have set business hours. They have an open time, and go until they sell out. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday they are open at 7 AM, and the weekends is 8 AM. I would advise arriving for the set open time if you are planning to get donuts on any given day. Especially on the weekend, they will sell out within an hour or two (yes, the donuts are that good!!). Plan accordingly if you are planning to stop. It is not unusual for a line to be forming 30+ minutes before the doors open. The plus of getting there early like that is that you will be one of the first served, and therefore able to get first picks! The selection of donuts rotates each day. There is not necessarily a schedule on which this occurs, but they might have a flavor today that they will not have tomorrow. Some of my favorites overtime have been the blueberry cake, pumpkin cake, cherry "sandwich" filled, sour cream, and so many more. I have asked the staff before if/when they would be making a particular kind, and they will let you know if they have an idea, so do not be afraid to ask. They sell cake donuts, regular donuts, long Johns, cinnamon rolls, and other speciality items each day. There are also donut holes, while are quite honestly some of the best I have ever tasted anywhere. They are usually warm and melt in your mouth. Do not leave without buying some if they are available. The value here is unbeatable. With the donuts being homemade and fresh, the prices are the best anywhere. They are even cheaper than somewhere like Dunkin, but the quality is 100 times better. This is probably another reason the people keep coming back for these delicacies. However, note that it is CASH ONLY! When I first started coming here, an older gentleman owned the place. He was so friendly and social to everyone who walked through the door. I always enjoyed interacting with him when I came by. A few years ago, a younger couple bought the business. However, the previous owner still works alongside them, which is cool to see! The new owners have been more consistent with being open during advertised open days, and are active on their Instagram account. This helps with knowing specials, when they sell out, if there is a change in being open, etc. Before, the days were sometimes hit or miss if they would be open. However, this has improved a lot since the new ownership has been in place. I love Better Maid - there truly is not a better cake donuts or donut hole anywhere I have tried in Pittsburgh. Plus, it is local people producing a handmade product, which is something everyone can get behind supporting. I just wish there were set hours sometimes, but that is part of the culture of the business. So, plan on brining your cash and waking up early for these delicious treats.
