Buttercream filled donut holes, where have you been my entire life? Word on the street is that if you want to grab some of these babies, you have to get to the donut shop early in the AM. I made it to the shop early enough to hear crickets chirping and watch the sun rise. Did they taste as good as they look? Yep! The added sugar coating made for a solid crunch. The donut holes are fluffy on the inside, with a more firm outside. They're sliced & filled with house-made buttercream. 10/10. Visit the capital of South Dakota ASAP. read more

If you want a coffee or anything first thing and don't want to just drive thru. Don't go here.

It's never opened. My wife and I have been there dozens of times to buy donuts but it's always closed. We've given up on the place.

Probably the best donuts in SD. The powdered sugar are typically the first to sell out. The glaze donuts are amazing and powdered are good too. They sell cakes that have buttercream which are ok in my opinion. I typically stick with a dozen. Get there early for best selection (before 630am). read more

Fantastic donut shop. A must every time I'm in Pierre. Know that everything goes really fast. Get here early.

I grew up going to this shop every Saturday morning. I've been gone for 20 years but I took a trip to Pierre specifically for the butternut top long johns (I don't know if they still call them that) and they taste even better than I remembered as a kid. Every donut that we got was delicious, so much better than any other donut shop. Everyone who works there is super friendly and the prices are great. I love this place! read more

Every time my family and I go to Pierre we make sure to get these doughnuts. They're inexpensive (you can get a dozen doughnuts for less than $8. Where else can you find those kind of prices?) and absolutely friggin' delicious. My particular favourite is the German chocolate with coconut. This place is only open extremely early in the morning and hidden away, which means on the rare occasion my family does get to get them it's like getting mythical doughnuts. And they certainly taste it, too. These are the best doughnuts I've ever had. They are fresh, crisp and delicious. I highly recommend it to anyone who's visiting or living in the Pierre area and doesn't mind getting up extremely early. read more

IDK Facebook says they are open. Maybe they sold out by 930am on national donut day!?!?! There was a van full of guys smoking outside ......so, iDK what that means. I should have called ahead of time. :( disappointed we missed what are described as "worlds best donuts". read more

As good as it gets.....the only bad thing about this place is the fact they are closing :(

Hands down, the best donuts I have had anywhere! Lovely variety of freshly made donuts! Workers were very hard working and friendly. This is a donut shop much like what was had in the 50s and 60s...I had to come all the way from MN to find this place. read more

There are no better donuts in the ENTIRE WORLD than the ones here. I don't know how Pierre got so lucky between the Zesto, Pier 347, and the Donut Shop, but this small town has some really fantastic treats. Whenever I visit I pry my eyes open and get to the donut shop at the ridiculously early hour of before ten a.m. and order AT LEAST two dozen donut holes plus regular donuts (and when I can't get up, I have someone get them for me, but it only buys me a few minutes as I need to be up when they return otherwise others will descend on these donuts like republicans on obama). These may or may not last more than an hour, depending on how well you've hidden the fact you've gotten them. These donut holes are sliced and filled with buttercream (REALLY fantastic buttercream) and rolled in sugar. They have regular sized donuts, too, equal in delisiousness. I remember walking up to the donut shop from my grandmother's house with a friend when I was a little girl to get donuts and they are still just as delicious (or perhaps even more now that I've had the misfortune of being exposed to things like Dunkin' Donuts and have a comparison on donuts)! Be sure to get there early as they close early! read more

I grew up eating those awesome donut holes from this genius shop. Never been upset with an order or service at this gem. I could run a train on a box of these suckers...just get their early in order to get enough. read more

Excellent donuts. They are hand made and really hit the spot. The two ladies at the register are fast and always have great attitude. A must place to stop for a fan of donuts read more

Childhood memories of buttercream filled long johns and banana cake donuts in the shape of a small banana and don't forget the filled donut holes. Yum. I haven't been back home to Pierre in years but when I do go back, this is one of my first stops. read more
