STL Donut Blog

Nadoz stepped up to the plate, STL. And I'm so glad they did. On a trip to New York, the owner tried the famous Cronut and fell in love. Nadoz now serves "Doissants", since Cronut is a patented term. Nadoz has locations near Grand Center and Brentwood . I used to go for their Eclairs when I felt like I'd earned a treat (new job, interview, drove through Grand Center) so I can 100% attest to their bakery quality. Pinkies out- doissants are classy. They are sugary, crunchy, and deliciously light.  Coronado Ballroom is gorgeous. Lunch and breakfast is all delicious and healthy and they serve breakfast all day. Way to go, Nadoz. www.nadozcafe.com Coronado Ballroom Location 3701 Lindell Blvd 314.446.6800 Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:30pm Saturday 8:00am-4:00om Sunday  Closed The Boulevard Location #12 The Boulevard St. Louis 314.726.3100 Monday-Thursday 7am - 8pm Friday 7am - 10pm Saturday 8am - 10pm Sunday 8am - 7pm

I used to live a whopping 1 block from St. Louis Hills Donuts and managed never to go there, primarily because it's a morning donut place . I woke up early for STL Hill's donuts because I've been told they're "the best" and that once sold out, they close. So even though the sign says they're open til noon, Sundays around 10:30 am, sometimes the donuts are just gone. In my opinion, if you're a donut shop and you consistently sell out of donuts, how about make more donuts? Maybe I'm crazy here. Action shot! Thanks, Matt! Clearly I went into this a smidge bitter. But the employees were friendly and various customers recommended the glazed. I will say, Glazed was my favorite. One customer was upset by the lack of donut holes.  Matt and I shared a Glazed, Vanilla Iced French Crueller, Chocolate Iced Cake, Yellow Cake with Chocolate Icing and Almonds, and Cheesecake Donut. Yeah, I bring my own Mason jar of milk. This is ...

Happy National Doughnut Day, STL!!!! Party hard. Doughnut Responsibly. Chau-ing down on some donuts with Kevin Chau (bottom left). PBJ and Key Lime Pie Long Johns Big thanks to Strange Donuts for free donuts, Kuva coffee, and tunes. Fun stuff. They'll be opening in July, so stay tuned for that.

Donuts and croissants had a baby. It's the Cronut. In New York, Cronuts and knockoffs (doissants) are being sold on craigslist in a sort of pastry black market. Wondering who will be the first STL donut shop to give this a whirl. . . From Chicago: The Cronut Craze

I happened to be in Fenton again on a Friday. At 7:50 pm there was a group waiting outside for the 8pm opening. I'm told this isn't typical, but I think it should be. These folks love Old Towne and highly recommended the Devils Food Glazed. We enjoyed it a lot and also tried the Devils Food with Chocolate Icing, Vanilla Cake, and Vanilla Cake with Sprinkles.  At 8pm, cake donuts are the only options. Luckily, they're delicious.
