Huge apple fritters the size of a real bear claw. Generously Stuffed to order filled donuts with yummy filling. Seating available. Good coffee! read more

really good donuts there are a surprising number of donut stores in the STL area. maybe it's a holdover from the previous age? the problem is a lot of these places are not that great. in addition, a whole lot of them sell out super fast, meaning if you don't show up in the earlier hours of operation, you won't be able to find what you're looking for donut palace kind of had this problem as well, since if you could towards the ending hours of the day they'll probably be sold out of the good stuff (supply issue), but the donuts are quite good one thing that i will mention however is that they could perhaps consider using a better quality jelly for their jelly donuts. these are the ones that they do the old fashioned way, where they get the plain donut and then manually fill it with the jelly. it's a nice product, but the jelly filling tastes a little artificial and has more of the consistency of gelatin than actual jam, which is what it's actually supposed to be. something to consider read more

Another amazing service day at Donut Palace...NOT. Sunday morning and you have two servers with "great" attitudes? Nothing like waiting 30 minutes to get served. Pitiful you are the only choice in the area other than Schnucks. read more

Donut Palace has been a favorite of ours for a long time. Our favorites: blueberry cake donuts and apple fritters. The apple fritters are huge and SO good!! When my daughter said she wanted to have cake donuts at her wedding reception, I bought donuts from various shops and had her and her now husband do a blind taste test. Hands down, Donut Palace was their favorite. Donut Palace responded quickly to my FB Messenger inquiries and were easy to work with. I went in to place my order and get suggestions and then needed to switch a few things up about a week prior. The donuts were hit and I would highly recommend them if you are planning an event. read more

Great service, there were long lines but they moved quickly at 10 am on a Sunday morning. The cinnamon roll donuts are awesome very large. Original glazed are great too. Plenty of room for several families to eat inside read more

Who doesn't love a good donut?! I have been coming to this local spot for over 10 years now! I think they are hands down the best classic donut spot around. The glazed cinnamon twists are my personal favorite. The icing donuts always have the PERFECT amount on them- no half iced donuts for me please! If you love a blueberry donut- be sure to grab one here. Delicious Also, pair it with a coffee from the Kaldi's (another STL local!) right up the street and you have the perfect morning breakfast! read more

Perfect mornings start with donuts from Donut Palace STL. This shop was clean, the customer service was great and we were in and out with our donuts within 5 minutes. Donuts tasted fresh and fluffy. I recommend any of their old fashioned treats but vanilla frosting is the winner! read more

The cake donuts are great but this place is known for the Apple Fritters. They're huge. We get one along with a donut or two for everyone and just tear pieces off the fritter. They're huge also sell toasted coconut donuts very similar to the Buttercrunch donuts that dd used to sell around here and they're my favorite. read more

Great place to stop and get some donuts casually! Service is friendly. However they didn't have too many donut options available on the day I came in--I think because I came later in the morning so they probably already sold out of many. I'll try getting back in here earlier in the morning next time! read more

Hands down, THE best donuts in the area. Doughy, lots of icing, and friendly service. Making this a normal stop for the weekends !

Barely any selection, which I could understand bc it was late morning on Saturday, and asked if that was it and girls behind counter said yep, but as I was paying, they brought more out. And then when I had to ask to do a second transaction since they brought out more the girl acted put off. Not a single thank you on either of my two transactions. Doesn't hurt to smile& say thank you. read more

The Donut Palace is awesome. Best Apple Fritters ever but the kids like anything from there. Hard to drive by when open without getting the urge to stop for a treat. read more

I'm not happy about leaving this review, Donut Palace serves up some great donuts and normally service is great. This review is in response to an interaction I had with who I suspect is the owner, or manager. I went by this morning to pick up donuts for my daughter's class, I asked if they used peanut oil to fry their donuts. The employee looked at me like I had two heads and replied, "I don't know". When I asked if she could check she replied "no, we don't use peanut toppings, so I don't think we use peanut oil". The whole interaction was awkward, and she was entirely unapologetic about the situation. The reality of this is, it's a liability for your staff to not know things like this, and to be rude to a customer when asked is unacceptable. The correct response is "I don't know, but I will find out for you". read more

I arrived after noon and was disappointed that they were sold out of my favorite apple fritter. But good for them! I was happy anyway with the Lonh John which they filled to my request with custard, and old fashioned sprinkle donuts. The best donuts in stl! read more

Love love love! Well I am not a big donut eater but this place has changed my mind! They have great service super friendly staff and great donuts! I absolutely love the apple flitters. The eclairs are huge and you can choose the filling. Many more choices. The times I been there they are busy but fast! read more

Came a little later in the morning but still had a great selection! Staff were polite and responsive! Made small talk and I didn't feel rushed. Will be back! Not sure if they had Gluten free donuts but none were there when I went. read more

The very best donut shop in the greater St. Louis region has the most incredible assortment of modern creations (maple bacon, m&m, sprinkled varieties, seasonal flavors) and old fashioned favorites. This place doesn't mess around. If you need vanilla frosting and sprinkles and there aren't any in the case, they go make you one fresh. Service with a smile, fast, FRESH, reliable. The prices are very reasonable. They are not trying to be a "boutique" place, there is no arrogance to this place, but their donuts are superior to Strange Donuts or anywhere charging $3-4 a donut. read more

the best donuts ever! no one holds a candle to this wonderful place! the donuts are all delicious and the best part is the memories created when we take our kids abd grandkids! read more

Donut Palace is everything you want in a donut shop. Yeast, cake, donuts, holes, fritters, long John's, twists. They've got it all. And did I see that they serve Kaldi coffee? My favorite is the glazed cinnamon twist. It's soft, pillowy, and has a slight crispness to the fried exterior. If you come on a weekend morning, prepare to stand in line because it's going to be packed. read more

Great donuts. They have a great selection to pick from. The price was reasonable. Will for sure come back again!

mediocre at best. Donuts were bland yet over sugary. service was meh, too. it' obviously no Old Town. I'm sure it has a nestalga factor. just not a place to write home about. read more

If your looking for excellent traditional donuts, this is the place! Donuts are large, first rate quality ingredients and no cutting corners! The custard filled (my favorite) I can tell is made on the premise everyday! The custard donuts are filled to capacity as are all the other filled donuts there. There is filling in practically every bite! The apple fritter and cinnamon bun are favorites too. No greasy residue in the box and the glaze is smooth, light and not gritty. I love that they offer the types of donuts we grew up with. Great for parties, meetings, office etc... This place offers a vast array of donut types to please everyone! read more

I love this little palace of donuts!!!! Can't believe it's taken me so long to come here but then again...it's probably good that I've been ignorant. I've been 3 times in 1 week and had dreams of them the other 4 days. They open at 3:15am for you late night owls and extra early morning risers. Take a gander but when you're ready to place your order let them know how many donuts you plan to get (they grab a box special for your #) They also have samples on top of the counter so be careful not to spoil your appetite grabbing too many of these teeny delicious moist decadent treats. What I've tried and in order of excellence: 1. Chocolate Long John 2. Blueberry Cake 3. Glaze (yeast) 4. Maple Bacon 5. Caramel Glaze (yeast) 6. Double Chocolate (cake) They have specialty options such as the new hot trend of Fruit Loops, Fancy Sprinkles of M&M's and all that jazz but I wasn't in the mood for anything strange. I wanted goos old fashioned well crafted donuts. The palace did not disappoint! The staff was super friendly, the interior nice and clean and roomy for dining-in. Coffee, napkins, condiments, cookies, cupcakes and frozen treats were also available. I promise to use restraint but I honestly can not wait until I can cheat and have another one of the Palace's sinfully delicious Chocolate Long John's. read more

Their Apple Fritters are simply AMAZING!! Nowhere even comes CLOSE to being as good!!! Great price also!!

This was my favorite place for decades. Things have really gone downhill over the past few years. I since moved away and am only in the area a couple times a year. Never any donuts left, even at 9am. They expanded the store for the larger seating area... why not use that money to increase inventory? Disappointing to see what this place has become. These owners need to consult with a demand planner or financial analyst. read more

Still amazing donuts. Best being they have unglazed options of blueberry. me, red velvet cake, and regular cake. The filled options are amazing with so much filling. If you haven't been, recommend! read more

Great on a Snow Day Holy Infant has a youth group that helps with faith formation. On Thursdays during the school year they get together before school... and donuts are served. This Thursday we had snow. Our son's high school called the home phone to announce no school for the snow day. Holy Infant texted... and I just didn't check the cell phone... so I got our daughter up and moving... then we got to school, saw it completely empty, and checked the screen... and headed home. As we got to the intersection, our daughter asked for donuts... and I happily obliged... a half dozen for the house and a dozen for the office. read more

Well..... I read the reviews and seen the pictures on here, so I decided since they open early according to the listed store hours I would drive 45 minutes one way to get some for my family and coworkers. I get there and there is a sign that states they don't open until 6am. I get that things change with Covid, but as a store owner, you really should update your hours on website and Yelp. I will say that the doughnuts that were in the case looked good though. Just wasn't thrilled about the long wasted drive. read more

It was okay not the best I've had but I would go again! About 12$ for 2 milks and a half dozen not to bad. I'm just a picky eater when it comes to donuts. The glazed was great though. But by 10:30 they are already running low on donuts read more

Been going here since I was in elementary school. Still the classic donut shop to go to.

I'm happy to say that I think the Donut Palace I always loved is making a comeback. Several months ago (a year? -- time flies) when the Donut Palace changed ownership, I thought all was lost. The former owners, Ann & Frank Mahler, were amazing and we missed them. We were saddened to hear they were selling, but glad to hear their recipes were transferring to the new owners, so our favorite doughnuts (which are far superior to anything Krispy Creme or Dunkin Donuts can offer) would still be available. But the first few months of the new ownership was disappointing. Faces we'd seen behind the counter for years disappeared and service seemed to suffer. Checking out was difficult because the technology never seemed to work properly. And there were never enough employees working so the waits were long. My daughter and I used to visit every Tuesday morning before her percussion club practices but we quit going because there was only one employee on Tuesdays and we had to wait too long, making it impossible to get to practice on time. We switched to Thursdays when there were more employees. Then I went in on a Saturday morning and I waited more than 30 minutes. I swore I wouldn't do that again. Today, however, I was there and things were running like a finely-tuned machine. I met Ann Saladin, one of the new owners. She's delightful and mentioned that they are getting ready to launch a website where you'll be able to rent these really cute doughnut stands (see my photos) and do other things. So, the doughnuts are still the best ever, the coffee is good (strong, but good), the service is friendly and improving (I still haven't been back yet on a Tuesday or on the weekend, so we'll see . . . ) and hopefully someday they'll bring back something else I miss -- the samples in the baskets on the counters. (It's a small thing, but I loved tasting different doughnuts while I waited, and honestly, it never kept me from buying). Please. Pretty please? Things I love: - Apple fritters (cannot be beaten and they are offered in half-sizes, plus you can buy them frozen and they reheat beautifully). - Chocolate long-john's filled with custard (not cream). - Chocolate-iced cake doughnuts - New decor. - No drive-through (I mention this because I heard they were considering offering one. I don't think this is a good idea for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that people actually talk to each other inside the Donut Palace. I love seeing friends/neighbors in there. That might change if they offer a drive through. read more

This place is the BEST in the area! Stopped in here over Christmas break and was so excited to see such an amazing variety of not only great looking but also HUGE doughnuts! You certainly get your money's worth here. We ended up getting a dozen assorted and they were all so very tasty. The staff was also super helpful and nice and we enjoyed working with them to get our dozen donuts picked out. We will certainly be stopping back in here again! read more
