The Donut Stop Inc.

The Donut Stop's stop sign on Lemay Ferry is not regulation size, so you won't be ticketed if you pass through it. But you will miss out on some good donuts.

Donut Stop is definitely the best shop in the Lemay area. If you're at South County Mall, it's only about 8 minutes away. Now I know Krispy Kreme is right across the street, but the drive is worth it. They have Fried Pies, a variety of Fritters (Apple, Blueberry, Cherry), Cinnamon Globs, and much more.

The staff was super friendly and said a lot of people want to take pictures, which I assume is because they've been featured in USA Today's Top Ten donut shops in the nation and are included in most STL donut articles. 

They've been around for over 60 years and pioneered the donut hole back in the 80's, according to USA Today.

Staff recommended their Custard Filled and Raspberry Jelly Donuts. Since I didn't have milk, these were perfect for me. 



Cody loved his Chocolate Cake donuts and Krystal got a Tart Cherry Cream Cheese Donut, which she said was the best donut of her life. 

I'd recommend the Cream Cheese Cherry and the Custard filled. There's not much going on in Lemay, but if you have to go there, this is a good way to make it tolerable.

Oh, and they opened a second location in St. Charles.

Fried Croissant or Fried Danish Cruller?

Image
Michael recently developed a fondness for Fried Croissants and of course they are delicious. So I get it. But I feel one of my favorite types of doughnuts is being overlooked- the Fried Danish Cruller - the figure 8 shaped doughnut with twisty middle. And my main question: do these actually exist in Denmark? So we taste tested them from Schnuck's bakery one day & agreed the Fried Croissant was better. I still think the Danish from Federhoffer's tops it, but will have to do further research to be sure. If you know anywhere that makes delicious Fried Croissants or Danish Crullers, please comment below!

Beignets in STL - Bar 360 (Downtown)

Image
What's a beignet? "Beignet, synonymous with the English "fritter", is the French term for a pastry made from deep-fried choux pastry. Beignets can also be made from other types of dough, including yeast dough."- Wikipedia Thanks, Wikipedia! It's basically a fried little donut covered in powdered sugar. Sometimes they come with a dipping sauce that is chocolatey. Bar 360 in Downtown STL has beignets and they are a great sharable treat. They are bite sized and airy, like little pillows. These beignets tasted like they had cinnamon involved. They came out hot, but I almost liked them better cold. For $7, they give you a lot of beignets! We had 6 friends trying to conquer this plate and could barely do it. We also ate pizza, though. I read some Yelp complaints that the beignets weren't all cooked the same (some doughy, others crispy), but I didn't have this issue. They were good, but it was really all about the sauce, for me. They ...

Travel Edition - Pikes Peak "World Famous Donuts" at 14,000 ft

Image
The sign says they are "World Famous", so I had to break my gluten free streak for 1 bite. Maybe 2. But honestly, they are really only good if you dunk them in coffee. Otherwise, they were really oily. Kind of crunchy on the outside and more like a french fry than a donut. Or a funnel cake minus the powdered sugar. Why don't they add some powdered sugar?! There's an idea. According to the Rocky Mountain Food Report , doughnuts have been sold on the mountain for around 125 years... "They’re high-altitude [cake] doughnuts — they can only be made above 14,000 feet. … We just make high-altitude adjustments to the recipe. And of course we do have our secret ingredient, which we can’t reveal, sorry.” I'm sorry, too, Pikes Peak. Maybe you were having an off day, but I wasn't impressed. I guess I'll have to wait until I'm at 14,000 ft elevation again to give them a second try. ** Note: Oddly enough, after writing this, I'm totally craving...
