    Such a great little coffee shop on the Main Street in Lawrenceville! It used to be an old bank, but was converted to a multi-use market space-with Oliver's at the forefront. (They also have a walk thru option, too!) Coffee is delish and everyone there is just so sweet and friendly. They have quite a few seats available, which usually never fill up from what I can see. They also have a variety of beautiful doughnuts (with fun flavors like lemon, lavender etc). You can tell they're homemade too, they are AMAZING. Make this a rotation for your morning coffee routine!

    Delicious cake donuts and wonderful staff! I love going to Oliver's Donuts because the space is bright, clean and calming and you could easily bring a book or your laptop to work. I've tried a variety of their donuts and they're all delicious. Today I tried the pumpkin and chocolate mint. The pumpkin donut had a beautiful glittery and glazed finished and wasn't overwhelming with the pumpkin flavor. It was balanced and not overly sweet. Again, these are cake donuts so they are thicker. Located in the Lawrenceville Market House, we are lucky to have quality donuts so close by!

    Delicious donuts! One of my favorite donuts in Pittsburgh. Oliver's donuts is located in Market house. There is not a ton of seating but I had no problem finding both a seat and an outlet on a Friday afternoon. Since it's in Market House there are a few shops you can browse too! Perfect place to study or get some work done. There were a variety of donuts to choose from including seasonal flavors. I tried the lemon lavender which is a summer seasonal flavor and it was delicious! The coffee was also very good. The coffee cup was very cute and featured Oliver the cat on it as well. Staff were very friendly and helpful! Since it was my first time there I struggled to choose which flavor donut to get. Staff helped me pick by telling me which flavors were popular and also gave a disclaimer when recommending super sweet donuts. Overall a great experience!!

    Came for a coffee left with a donut too. This new shop is in Lawrenceville metered parking on the street with that typed. Oliver's has a cute sign A take out window A bit of indoor seating Friendly service They have milk options almond and oat And their donuts My coffee was fine And when I was asked if I wanted a huckleberry donut on the house I was YES please Donut was a delish cake like donut with berries frosting was so good not too sweet. Prices per the sign a donut is about 3.19 Be the judge I would buy

    On a scale of romances to documentaries, Oliver's Donuts is the romance you expect. I missed the grand opening of Oliver's Donuts a year ago. Ever since then, I've been hoping to get there. This past weekend, I did. Oliver's Donuts is charming in decor with a lovely seating area. I love that they offer coffee-shop-level coffee alongside their cake donuts. The chocolate chocolate cake donut was decadent. Parking is street, and there is a lot (though I didn't check to see if it includes Oliver's Donuts. I assume so). You can also order donuts at a window, but I suggest going inside, ordering your goods, and then meandering the other shops!

    Donuts are always great. Try to get them early in the day since they will run out of certain flavors. Great location and you can check out the other stores in the market house. Price is pretty spot on for the quality of donuts

    I wanted to be wowed, but it was just ok. First, I was there at 2pm and there was a bit of a line in front of me, but no one behind me. They were out of a few flavors (completely acceptable that late in the day) but staff wasn't very helpful in explaining things to me. It was also confusing because they had given all the donuts Taylor Swift names, but then didn't use those names when I tried to order. Dang these were expensive donuts. I ordered 2 - sea salt chocolate and pumpkin. I thought the pumpkin was most and flavorful. The chocolate was super dry and just crumbled everywhere. These kind of donuts aren't usually my style, so maybe I'm in the minority. Anyway, I'd have a pumpkin one again if offered, but I don't think I'll rush back either.

    I met some colleagues for coffee here, and of course we had to try the donuts too. I had the Juniper and pear donut, perfect flavor! I also had a cappuccino. My colleagues had the vegan gingerbread donut and the huckleberry donut (the house specialty), both delicious. The staff was extremely friendly. The atmosphere was adorable. There are some cute local shops right in their space. They didn't open until a little later, but I'll definitely stop back when I can enjoy some donuts and shopping

    Espresso Tonic with Lavender
    Lauren G.

    So stinking cute with great options. I had the espresso tonic with hints of lavender which was refreshing and floral, perfect for a hot day. We tried the huckleberry and lavender lemon donuts as well. The donuts were delicious, just a little too sweet for me! (I preferred the huckleberry). The space is newer and very modern, and it's nice that the little local shops are in there as well.

    We passed by this place ad were instantly like "donuuuuuttts" because who doesn't love a good local donut shop. Then to our surprise they were having a free donut day the very next day! Perfect timing. I read some reviews first and it really seems to be a mixed bag of love it or "meh". I saw they were cake donuts, which are definitely a specific type and if you don't like cake donuts you probably aren't going to LOVE these. Here is my honest opinion as a cake donut lover. The location is adorable, located in Lawrenceville market. I had never been in there before, so it got me in the door to see some other cool spots. Decor is really clean and welcoming. Staff was friendly. The donuts were picture perfect. They were good, not the best thing ever. Like we went literally as soon as they opened so we probably got the freshest of the fresh. The icing on the carrot cake was really good, the cake part had a spice that kind of overpowered it. The death by chocolate was actually my favorite, it was still warm, had to be super fresh. The other 2 (cinnamon sugar and chocolate sea salt) were for my boyfriend and he gave me a 3.5 out of 5 rating on them for taste. I read reviews saying the donuts were dry or crumbly and I could see how if I got them later in the day how that might be true. All in all. I like them, not loved. If it was as soon as they opened in the morning and I was craving chocolate, I would go back for the death by chocolate for sure.

    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.
