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!
Classic spot. The menu is just fantastic. Very affordable place to go for breakfast and coffee. The staff were super helpful and polite. This place is worth going to after driving by many other chain coffee shops and "fancy" local coffee places. Get here before noon because they will sell out fast. Really cool lil spot that has been there for at least 40 years. There is a reason this place has lasted so long... its awesome.
This place is a St Louis staple! It’s corky and fun look are very misleading, because these are hands down the best donuts in the downtown area! The staff is ready to roll super early, so I called them at 5am to place an order for an office get together. They had it all ready by the time I swung by. When you open the door to the shop it smells like bakery sweets heaven! The staff is friendly, and the prices reasonable.
