John's Donuts

I've been trying various donut shops in the area over the last few months. I decided to give John's a try this past Saturday. I was blown away at the selection, one of the largest out of the shops I've been to. The guy who helped me was super friendly. I especially enjoyed the glazed pretzel, raisin square, apple fritter, lemon cake, and the cake donut topped with chocolate and coconut. I'm an early riser, and it was awesome that they were open at 4am. I think I was the second one there. The donuts were fresh and delicious. They're be part of my rotation now, and I look forward to future visits. I highly recommend John's Donuts!

There is ample free street parking at the location. The neighborhood is quite. The exterior and interior of the location were in good repair. The associate was friendly and was able to answer my questions. There were a variety of donuts available and they had a daily special. The donuts we purchased were fresh and flavorful. They take cash and credit cards but you have to spend more than $5 to use a credit card. I would return to this location and recommend it to others.

Best Donuts in St. Louis. Very buttery rich and good flavors. The Apple Fritter is brilliant. - My favorite is the Chocolate Coconut Icing. I don't believe there are any steps so the building is accessible. It's all take away/ carry out now. (Before the pandemic there were booths and tables and kids studying for exams and friends sitting around reading newspapers. This is a rich historied donut shop every kid and person in St. Louis should visit.) Love this place.

So finally little brother got into this donut shop. The hours leave a little to be desired, as it's 4 am to noon. If he sells out he closes totally. Nit use to a donut ship having such short hours. As Donut Drive-In hours are 5 am to 10 pm and some nights 12 am. OK let's get down to the donuts. The Apple Fritters are smaller than we are used to, the twisted cinnamon glazed is ok. They don't offer vanilla custard filled only chocolate, what if you don't like chocolate? The vanilla iced cake donut is ok. His menu shows donuts, but not the name or price online. Overall it's OK, but I prefer Donut Drive-In for more variety and prices are shown as well. You can order ahead of time and go pick up at their box too. If your in the area for John's go try it, but know he might not be open if he sells out.

It has taken me forever to review this establishment. I have gone here for over 10 years and wanted to keep them my secret. It was really selfish of me. These are the best donuts in St. Louis. The recipe has not changed since I found them. Always fresh, always delicious, always kind and caring employees. I recommend all of them! Of course I have my favorites but you cannot go wrong with anything you pick.

The absolute best donuts in STL, maybe even the world. I will tell you not to go there because it will ruin you for every other donut you'll eat. The staff is so kind and amazing. When you have a long, terrible night, Johns donuts are a saint covered in glaze.

John Donut is the best! Anytime we want donuts we go to John’s. The apple fritters are the best ever, and I highly recommend the St. Louis (Boston) crème, chocolate filled, and glazed old fashioned. The rest are great too, but those are the favorites for our household. To avoid missing out on the high demand items go before 8am, as they open a 4am and close at 11am.

Founds myself on south broadway at 11am on a Saturday killing time, and came across this shop. Picked up a few to take home to the family. WHERE DID YOU GET THESE?! We get donuts semi regularly, and from all the popular places in town, but I’ve never heard my family yell out loud asking me where I got these fantastic donuts. We are definitely fans and will return as often as we can. No place to hang out, you just get them and go, but we don’t usually hang out at a donut shop.
