Beware of Darkness
I gave The Donut Stop a try based on a video from the STL Donut & Coffee Tour YouTube channel. Oh my, I'm glad I did!
I showed up on a Saturday bright and early at 4:30 am when they opened and was greeted by Tim. I picked out a dozen donuts to try and mentioned it was my first time in. He was super friendly and hooked me up with tasty looking selections.
The apple fritter was simply the best I've ever had. It was the perfect combination of a soft interior with crispy edges and covered with the best tasting glaze around. The fried croissant was delectable as well. They also have a specialty called the cinnamon glob, which is also amongst one of the most delicious bakery items I've ever had.
I started a fitness journey 9 months ago, and treat myself to occasional cheat days. Now my biggest worry is gaining all my weight back eating these delicious donuts. I tried 6 my first visit, and they were so good I drove 40 minutes round trip a second morning in a row to get 7 more when they opened the next day. I've been a Donut Drive die hard for over a decade, and it pains me to say it, but I've got to say The Donut Stop edges them out. They're well worth the drive, I'm just lucky I'm an early riser and there's no traffic at 4 in the morning.
Bottom line: hands down, best donut shop I've ever been to. I'll be back soon!

Friendly, fast service. Parking is ample and the prices are extremely reasonable. The donuts were fresh and delicious. And they have cream-filled...my fave!

The Donut Stop hit another one out of the ballpark! Everyone was in awe of how neat this was. No one could believe how amazing the donuts were and commented on how good they smelled, the freshness, and flavor. Even the day after they were fresh and delicious. Worth every penny spent.

We absolutely LOVE donut stop. We pass many other places to get donuts at between our house and this place but would rather have theirs. Friendly people and phenomenal donuts. Their fritters are second to none also.

Delicious! Tried the cinnamon bomb donut- so good and so cinnamon-y. I went pretty close to close and they still had donuts and the donuts I got were still fresh!

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.

These are the best donuts! They have such a variety of flavors and holiday themed donuts around holidays. Great prices, too.
