First time here. We like donuts and take the opportunity to try different options out there in town and when we travel. Without using google maps for the exact location, I knew this place was on Argonne St. We passed it twice because signage is only on the window and cars block the storefront and it is a tiny place. The interior has no place to eat inside and could use a bit of a make over as it is not attractive, which on first impression reflects the quality of ownership and products.
We bought 8 different donuts and there were about 12 options. The yeast donuts are light and fluffy and had a good flavor. The cake donut is also on the lighter side which we really like. The custard and jelly fillings are good flavor and well filled, although could use a few more options for filled donuts- there were only 2. Nothing really "strange" about the donuts. Maybe just a catch name but overall they are good donuts.

I visited the location in Kirkwood, MO. I have been meaning to stop there for years and today was the day. I was in Kirkwood on Sunday. It was Father's Day and Strange Donuts was closed because they sold out of donuts by 10:30 am. No matter what the hours on the door state, if they run out, they close.
I returned on Monday around 9 am. Success! They still had donuts. I chose the maple bacon donut. It was loaded with what looked like a brown sugar, maple icing and topped with real bacon chunks. It was great. I didn't need anything to eat for 4 hours after that donut so it was filling, too. I look forward to trying another flavor next time I'm in the area.
Coffee is strong and fresh. Good quality. On weekends, they have something called a "stranger" donut. It's an out-of-this-world flavor they come up with on weekends.
On Father's Day, it was a chocolate flavored donut stuffed with bits of cookie dough. Selections change often. What you get one day, you might not get the next time you go. Only a few of the donuts like the glaze are staples. The best-seller is the gooey butter donut. I hope to try that one next time. Although the maple bacon was so good, I might get it again if it's an option.
Go early, go often!
They also sell their own coffee and have a coffee club in which the proceeds or at least some of it goes to charity. (Check directly with Strange Donuts if you'd like to know more.) They also sell t-shirts, sweatshirts, and other items. It is carryout only.
In addition, the staff person, Kendra, who waited on me was excellent and knowledgeable!
We chose this place as it was rated top in st.louis... they did not disappoint. The guy helping us was THE BEST. He took his time with me, explained all the doughnuts and was seriously the nicest person I've come across in my travels in awhile. The doughnuts were unbelievably delicious... I'm sad I didn't get more to take home!
Don't blink or you'll miss it. Look for the BLUE .
Cherry Kool-aid Donut was a great variation of a jelly donut. King Roll was a cinnamon roll with icing that didn't work well with the glaze ?
Next time, I will try the Marshmallow Donut . Looked interesting !
This place is well named, they are pretty strange. No donuts are actually made at this tiny location. It is only a retail sales spot β but the donuts are fresh made daily and delicious. They have gluten free donuts that typically sell out so I recommend that you check in early and for sure call ahead to make sure they still have what you're looking for. They are always friendly and I enjoy getting donuts from them. Keep it weird, Strange Donuts! π©π©π©π©π©
Very friendly staff. Truly a hole in the wall and yet a fantastic shop! Delicious and fresh donuts. Arrive early if you want a varied selection.
Great donuts and surprise flavors every time!
Amazing duonuts for iut of town trip! The guy helping us was wonderful and kind. The donuts were to die for! I got the chocolate fritter, red velvet, vegan raspberry filled and the butter cake π The experience really was topped off buy the guy working although I didn't get his name. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
Super friendly, they stay open until midnight, & they put butterfingers on a donut - what more could you want? I will be back!
One of my favourite quotes from an employee at Strange Donuts is "oh, well you can always get maple bacon donuts here, so I'd go with the other one." Not only was the other one (blackberry jelly) really delicious, but the fact that there is a place that ALWAYS has maple bacon donuts ready to eat is just too good. Happy to be in this world at the same time as Strange Donuts.
Interesting variety and flavors. Pleasurable staff. Small, but there is a pleasant park right next door.
Strange donuts, the name says it all. But maybe we should add delicious to their name. No matter what kind of donut it is, they all taste amazing if your feeling a bit adventurous. My wife and her two friends make it an annual tradition to go to a strange location during the holidays. We will keep this tradition going for many years to come.
I find their donuts to be fresh and flavorful, and the service to be fast and very friendly. They offer standard donut types along with deluxe types with inventive names and flavors. I find both types to be delicious. Recent donuts purchased are: the Fat Steve, Gooey Butter Cake, Snowball, Jean Claude Van Graham. All received rave reviews from all who tasted them at work.
