I could not have been greeted by a more friendly counter attendant this morning! What a charm! Stumbled into here almost by accident, while waiting for another shop on the street to open up for business. Had to take a couple donuts "to go" so I could just get out of the elements of the weather. I'm so glad I did. I learned that all of the donuts are made fresh in house DAILY with real ingredients... and there was a wide variety of options! You can tell just by looking at them, that they're fresh and different than others you've ever tried before. Check them out. Truly, you can tell that these are handmade donuts. Yum! The shop is cute, a bit rustic looking, but suits Carson Street so well. There are some little stickers and nick nacks around the shop, but nothing too crazy, just very particular and with purpose. Please stop in here next time you're around for a visit. read more

Definitely one of my top spots for donuts in pgh. Came on a Sunday, late morning, and got lucky they still had any left as someone had just come and bought 6 dozen donuts. They have a few different flavors whenever I go and I always like to get each one because they are always all delicious. They do sell out sometimes so my recommendation is going early in the morning.(one of my favorite Sunday morning breakfasts) read more

Stopped in on a chilly morning around 930am for a donut and some coffee. I was pleasantly surprised by how beautifully decorated this small space is! The huge window looking over the street lets in a lot of light and they have some plants and decor scattered around. There are a couple seats available along the window and a table or two near the counter. The staff were super friendly and offered to warm our coffees before we left! The donuts were somewhere between a traditional donut texture and a cake donut. They were pretty big and not super dense. I had the lemon shortbread and it was bright and citrusy and not too sweet. For the donut and coffee, I paid around $4.50. I heard someone come in and pick up a half dozen for $10.70. Bathroom was clean! read more

I honestly don't know why people rave about these. Maybe I just love donuts with like icing on top like a moist donut, so if that's what you like don't get these. But also it's a bar which I didn't realize haha which seemed very nice and everyone was sweet but I just wasn't crazy about the donuts tbh read more

OMG! Sooooooo gooood!!! Airy pillow of yummies... Picked up fresh Easter donuts this am! Just look.. yes they taste as good as they look ...and the smell...yum! I pre ordered these babies when Drew put out the post on Facebook... we go to the Pub chip shop for Fish and Chips ( you have to try that too) .. Just Good Donuts is also inside - and hint - while it says they are open till 8 - go early as they sell out fast and once they are gone - they are gone. This was my first time preordering the donuts... so glad we did! Their website is easy to use and the pick up is easy. Right now you walk in ( one person at a time in the shop but it goes fast) give your name they bring your box up and you out. This am I was in and out in under two min. The staff is so friendly too! Make you really feel they appreciate the business. Those are the places you really wants to support and see succeed on the other side of this virus. Shop your locals and this is one you will not regret supporting! read more

Wow! Yummy! Right now I'm sitting here and could go for another one of these. I rarely eat donuts but always sag if I am going to it better be a damn good donut. These did not disappoint. I had heard about this place and been following them on social media for a while. Several flavors they posted looked delicious. I just hadn't made it down. We happened to be on the Southside anyway one morning so it was the perfect excuse to stop in. The donuts are all on display on the counter. The woman working was friendly and offered advice on flavors as we were deciding. It was quick and easy to pick up a few donuts to go. We decided first on the peanut butter bomb. We both love chocolate and peanut butter and had been seeing this on Facebook for a while. It was a peanut butter frosting along with Reese's and Butterfinger. It was very good but also very sweet and rich. Next we decided to try the pumpkin donut since it is seasonal. I am so glad we did and that is the one I have been craving ever since. The pumpkin frosting was flavorful but light and airy. The graham cracker crumbs gave a nice little crunch. The donut itself was delicious too. It's not close to me so I won't go here often but I will definitely be back. Some of the best gourmet donuts I have had for sure. read more

Rolled up for National Donut Day last Friday and was not disappointed! Since Allegheny County had just gone 'Green' for Covid-19 the evening before, there were tons of people out and about but gratefully their line moved through pretty quickly. I'm a big cake donut fan so I asked the wife to get several (she got 5) and then rounded out with 3 regular glazed as well. Since it was towards the end of the day the selection was kind of small, but that's on us, and just makes me want to go back even more to try some of the other options! We will definitely be back before the next National Donut Day! read more

Stopped in here (located inside Pub Chip Shop!) on my long-time mission to find the perfect glazed donut ever since the creator of my all time favorite closed permanently during covid :( and unfortunately I still didn't find it but it came pretty close! These folks make some damn good donuts, prepared fresh daily. They had five flavors today and I got three of them: glazed, sugar, and chocolate shortbread, which has chocolate icing and crushed shortbread cookies on top. I forgot to take a picture before inhaling the glazed donut, oops! Lol. But I made sure to show off the chocolate shortbread because that's not a common flavor and I specifically ordered it just to see what it was like- did not regret it one bit! The vibe in here is cool and the staff was friendly. Will be back! read more

Really should be called stupid good donuts. This is my favorite donut shop in pittsburgh. The staff is really friendly as well and do a great job following covid guidelines and making sure everyone is safe. This is what you get when you do something you love and you do it to the best of your ability, and its totally apparent. So far my favorite are the pb bomb and any seasonal jam donuts. I don't know what kind of jam they use but its fresh and it makes a huge difference. read more

Another brilliant concept from the Piper's/Pub Chip Shop folks. I'm not a donut eater per-say. However, given the opportunity I will chow down. The glazed donut is like pure goodness melting on the tongue. The flavors will send your palette in a frenzy with overwhelmingly delicious awesomeness hitting your taste buds and tummy. And the cinnamon rolls...holy sweetness, kids. Absolutely scrumptious. I can't even finish half donut or cinnamon roll in one sitting. read more

We love donuts, and we loved these ones. They're fluffy, airy yet still dense enough to hold the creamy and fun toppings. Plus, $8 for half a dozen donuts?! I think that's a win. Our favorite flavors: pumpkin pecan and blueberry crumble. We were a little surprised by the spice on the bacon donut. read more

I like how the donuts are served on a first come basis and once they're out, they're out. The donuts are definitely worth waking up early for. My friend graciously ordered me some donuts for me to pick up for a holiday potluck. I was in a rush, so I ran in and the people that helped me already knew what the deal was. I gave them my name and they smiled and gave me the dozen donuts with no questions. Out of the dozen, I tried the bacon topped maple filled donut. It was delightful! The donut is generously filled and the bacon that tops the donut is also maple glazed. Yum!! I would definitely give this place another try. I would compare these donuts to peace love little donuts. However, Just Good donuts are a little better and larger in size. read more

This place is a gem that has struggled through the shut down and kept as many people working as they could, including their donut maker! You can see how beautiful they all are in other peoples pics, but this is the only pic I could snap before they were gobbled up by some of our favorite small businesses. I myself tried the jam filled sugar coated variety, the sugared, and the glazed cinnamon roll. Yes. Yum. None are greasy or leave that strange coated feeling on your tongue like some other local favorites. They are incredible. You can order online easily for pickup but we popped in and it was quiet and they put together 2 dozen assorted quickly. read more

Stoped in as I was craving a donut and coffee. I'm not a fan of DD donuts as they are never fresh. Well very satisfied with the glazed donut from Just Good Donuts. Had a hint of lemon to it which I liked. Also ordered a black coffee. And the coffee tasted very good, smooth and no bitter after taste. Didn't taste burnt either as if it was sitting on the warmer all morning. I almost gave it 3 stars. They are still in Covid mode. Can't even step foot in the establishment. It's April 2021, time to move past the extreme restrictions. read more

Donuts. Who doesn't love donuts?! This place is really easy to miss because it's a two in one restaurant. I bought a half dozen to bring home while on lunch and was so excited to try them! Their flavors were intriguing (peanut butter bomb, Black Forrest, chocolate chip cookie dough...) and the guy behind the register was really helpful and chatty. As much as I enjoyed chatting and picking the donuts, I was disappointed with them. They tasted stale just a few hours after I bought them. Maybe try them first thing in the morning? I noticed they only make a certain amount and they keep them on a rack behind the register, so they'd probably been sitting out all morning to begin with. read more

Of all the donuts I've tried in Pittsburgh, Just Good Donuts is the best. It's a combination of its location, the very friendly service by Pub Chip Shop, and the quality of the donuts. They have fun options and it's sold on a first come, first serve basis. There have been days when I stopped by at Noon and everything was gone and other days when I went after work around 5pm and still had a couple options. It's truly a gamble but it's worth swinging by if you can or calling ahead of time to find out what they have left. My favorite is the maple vindaloo bacon- a spicy twist on a combo that is becoming increasingly popular. The cinnamon rolls are also a great choice. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the toppings on the other options, but I believe that's a good problem to have. The prices are very reasonable ($7.50 for half a dozen or $1.50 for one). read more

I've been seeing photos of Just Good Donuts on Instagram for a few months and I had to give them a try. They looked like they had such interesting flavors so I thought surely they had to be good. I was unfortunately pretty disappointed. My donut didn't taste fresh and it just wasn't all that flavorful. I ended up throwing most of it away. I was expecting a lot more. Maybe I went a little late in the day or picked a bad flavor. At some point I'll probably make it back and give it a second try. read more

Brought in donuts for the office and there were lots of flavors to choose from. The donuts are a little dense and weren't very light and fluffy like I typically like. However, they were still good. The toppings were a little overwhelming on some. I had the chocolate chip and couldn't even finish the whole donut. It was super sweet. The glazed and cinnamon roll donuts were much better. I think because there wasn't a mountain of toppings on top. Overall everyone seemed to enjoy the donuts. read more

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.

Not a bad score on a Sunday morning!

Walking in, the guy employee was kind and had a sense of humor that made me feel welcomed. I chose six donuts to take home which he packed in a white bag. The donuts were fresh and flavorful.

These are by far the best cake donuts I've ever had. I even find myself craving them. The glazed doughnut is out of this world.

Madsen Donuts is a small restaurant chain that first opened in 1938 in Erie. This particular…read morelocation is in Castle Shannon. 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.

Open!! Just bought donuts today! Not sure why this business is marked as closed!

I picked up several Tigertails, chocolate chip cookies, and the carrot cake, and everything was amazing. I'm honestly glad I don't live nearby because I would live in this bakery! I visited midday on a Wednesday, so it wasn't too busy and parking was easy. The staff was excellent, very friendly and patient as I took everything in. It's a beautiful, clean spot that would even be great for a casual date. A must-visit if you're in the Pittsburgh area.

They ain't lying!

I needed a place to get some work done and breakfast for the day before meeting up with with a coworker. I got their seasonal lavender latte and death by chocolate donut. The barista was kind and welcoming. I loved that they told me the death by chocolate donut was their favorite. There was a strange moment when the people in front of me ordered something and were given the wrong drink then told that they ordered that. I enjoyed sipping on my coffee. The donut was ok and a fun pick me up to start my morning. I especially loved that the logo had a cat on it. As a cat lover, I decided to take home some local beans they were selling with cats on the cover. I really enjoyed that it's in a walkable part of PGH. I'd recommend visiting this cute donut and coffee shop.
