They even had an old picture of this place hanging on the wall whenever it was a car spot which we enjoyed. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by a friendly employee. She was very helpful and patient with us. She explained everything to us as it was our first time there. They have a variety of flavors and toppings to choose from for their donuts on the menu. 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 tried a cake donut with chocolate and peanut butter icing and it was delicious. The donuts reminded me of Peace, Love and Little Donuts but at a full size. So many other flavors I want to try.

Peace Love & Little Donuts is a donut chain that was founded in Pittsburgh and now has locations in…read moremany states. Donuts are classified has Groovy (granular, glazed, powder, or plain), Far-out (frosted), and Funkadelic (frosted with toppings). The donuts are small but are actually a nice size for eating. Examples of Groovy donuts are Saigon Cinnamon and Honey Glazed. Examples of Far-out donuts are Mocha and Banana. Examples of Funkadelic donuts are Snick Jagger, Heath Wind and Fire, PB & J, Buttafinga, Samoa, S'mores, Raspberry Truffle, Robert Brûlée, Maple Bacon, Dirt, Banana Split, and Apple Pie. As soon as my husband and I entered this store, the two employees courteously said hello to us. We decided to order six donuts for us and two donuts for our dog. Some donuts were already pre-made, and other donuts had to be made for us. The employees did a good job of applying icing and toppings to our donuts. We ate our donuts at home. Our flavors were Banana, Boston Cream, Cherry Pie, Fruity Pebbles, Raspberry Lemonade, and Strawberry French Toast. We thought that these donuts tasted good. My dog apparently also enjoyed her donuts. (See the attached photo of her!)

They were doing a deal that if you purchased a half dozen you could get a coffee for free. I don't drink coffee so they offered me one free cinnamon sugar donut, which was kind of them! So why three stars? It's fun, there are lots of options, but honestly, it's appalling how much six tiny donuts cost! Nearly $10! I can get a DOZEN full size donuts at Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts for the same price. Now, you may say, they don't have as many "fun flavors" but to me, it was not worth it. Great service, friendly staff, fun flavors, but I wouldn't waste the money on such tiny donuts again. Haha!

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!

I could not have been greeted by a more friendly counter attendant this morning! What a charm!…read more 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.

The interior of the shop is a decent size, with both table and window seating available. They had way more donut options than I was expecting and it was honestly difficult to choose! I went with a chocolate iced custard filled donut and an apple fritter. The prices are more than fair for the quality of the food. The custard donut was SO good. It was super fresh and had plenty of custard filling and icing on top. The staff were super friendly and quick to take customer's orders. I saw several people getting half dozens and dozens. It's worth noting that they have a card minimum of $5. I'd definitely come back again for a sweet treat for myself and/or a box to go for a party or an event.
