    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!

    Delicioussss. So glad I got to try this place and pretty good prices! The service was great, super friendly! The first time I went, they were sold out so the next time I ended up calling before I went.

    Easter donuts

    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!

    Peanut butter bomb, pumpkin pie

    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.

    My hubby and I stopped in to get some doughnuts. We were greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. The staff member let us know which doughnuts they had that day and was happy to answer any questions we had. They always come up with some creative ideas for doughnuts and they are always delicious! Check them out-they are delicious!

    Glazed Cake and Regular Donuts

    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!

    I really wanted to love these donuts, but they aren't my favorite. They aren't sweet enough, if that makes sense? And at $2 per donut, it's wasn't worth it. But the service was lovely!

    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!

    Slightly disappointed. They had a good amount of selection however they are all plain donuts with different toppings. The toppings were delicious and rich with flavor. But the donut was average, dense and not memorable. $3 for two donuts

    Yummy donuts ---just good ones that is
    Debi F.

    Stopped today on National Donut Day to share with my coworkers. They loved the chocolate with the white crème. Their past favorites are the jam filled (today was blueberry) and they were loaded with jam. I honestly don't think you'll find a bad donut in the dozen !!!

    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.

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.
