They've got a delicious coffee counter - which I had the Lavender Lemonade with a lemon custard cold foam and WOW!

If you are driving down the road and see the sign for this place make sure you do a quick U-Turn like me and my home girl did to grab so baked goods for the road. I left with a box full of goodies and didnt crack $20. I tried some cookies, a cinnamon bun, a streudel, and something else and me and my husband enjoyed everything. The only reason I didnt bring a whole cake home with me is because I knew he would look at me crazy but I could have.

They are the old fashioned cake type donuts and she puts the toppings of your choosing on fresh. They also have a drink menu and even Linden Creek milk to wash those donuts down. The donuts were absolutely delicious! Really a special treat. I highly recommend checking this gem of a place out.

I bought 9 items to try and if I were the one who made these items only 1 of them would've made it out my door. I have a much higher standard of quality than this.

Most of the pastry items were dry and crumbled in your hand. This was so disappointing, I was hoping for a great experience.

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.

Awesome donut place! There's a reason people start lining up 20mins before they open every day…read more Donuts are made fresh daily with love and care. They have a great variety of flavors too: glazed, cake donuts, cream filled, frosted, etc. I waited about an hour and 15mins to order, but it was worth it. Everyone in line was very friendly and shared the same feeling, something the staff clearly appreciated with their genuine smiles and service. I ordered a dozen donuts, a variety of their most popular. My favorites were the cherry donut and buttermilk log. The glaze on top was so incredible, sweet and creamy at the same time. The donut itself pretty much melts in your mouth, especially if you put them in the microwave for a few seconds. Definitely a spot for special occasions because of the wait and they run out quickly, but a great experience!

The menu lists several flavors of donuts of "raised"/stick donuts and "round" donuts. Raised donuts include the following flavors: Cream Sticks (marshmallow filling with chocolate topping), Jelly Sticks (raspberry-jelly filling with sugar coating), Cinnamon Sticks (cinnamon glaze), and Glazed. Round donuts include the following flavors: Glazed, Powdered Sugar, Chocolate, Peanut (with marshmallow cream), Cinnamon Sugar, Plain Old-fashioned, and Sprinkle (with marshmallow cream). I chose the Raspberry Jelly Stick, and my husband chose the Chocolate Cream Stick. The employee provided excellent service in greeting us, patiently waiting for us to decide our flavors, and processing our payment. I do recommend that the business add labels near the donuts, but the employee did explain the flavors to us. Each donut cost $1.90. Both of our donuts tasted very good. This business also had a refrigerator of bottled beverages, including milks, teas, Gatorades, coffees, and water.
