Blueberry Donut from World's Fair Donuts (she thinks) Melissa said "It was blueberry, one of my favorite kinds. It was perfect: light with sweet blueberries! It hardly crumbled from biting". Great shot of the ambiance at the Jazz Bistro! Happy Donut Day, Mel! Sarah prefers extra large, shiny donuts full of air.

Who has the BEST donut in St. Louis? We have an answer... well, kind of. The judges did a swell job today, but I still think this question is too tough to nail down an official answer.  Do you like classic donuts? Or fancy, specialty donuts? Do you want them fresh and hot? Cake donut or yeast donut? What about fritters? See?! If I were held at gunpoint and forced to say my absolute favorite donut, I would probably go with Federhofer's Chocolate Long John, and it is either because I was raised eating them or maybe they're just that good. A few Affton pals that may agree with me. I had a lovely morning at Jazz at the Bistro's National Donut Day competition! Unfortunately I did not get to try all the donuts, since I was somehow not selected to be a judge (hint hint ahrrmmmm ;)). Nevertheless, I did enjoy several donuts from various bakeries in STL. There were 15 present for the competition, Oberweis milk, and Mississippi Mud Coffee. I liked the sy...

On our 1 year anniversary, Michael took me to Pharaoh's Donuts in Downtown STL. They were absolutely delicious! I got my two classic favorites, a glazed and a chocolate long john . The chocolate icing tasted like it had a lot of cocoa powder, which Michael and I agreed made it taste like a Hot Chocolate Long John. After 1 year of marriage, we still struggle to share donuts.  We got there around 11 and the selection was slim.. a few of these and some cake donuts.  There was a little table inside and a vending machine, but the interior needs some love. It seems like some of the best donut shops in St. Louis are the ones that put zero effort into their appearances. They apparently also sell Hot Dogs, too, according to their sign. Interesting. These are classic, well made donuts and all the reviews on other sites are great, so I'll definitely be back to try the Crumb Cake donut and Apple Fritters that people have raved about! And super extra bonus points for t...

Hey donut munchers. I apologize for the lack of donut blogging lately. Been real lazy, no excuses. But I've been really into COCONUT lately and had a Coconut Chocolate Twist donut and it was great! Has anyone been to Field's Foods in Lafayette area? I'm all for the local farmers and stuff, but it seems to me people just go there to pay extra money for regular foods. But the important thing is that their donuts are good and somewhat reasonably priced. My donut was 79 cents and Mike's sprinkly chocolate thing was cheaper. I know that muffin isn't a donut, but I forgot to move him, so there he is.

Be proud, STL! We have the best doughnuts around! Vincent Van Doughnut won the Cooking Channel's Donut Showdown! Here is Feast's article on the win! I thought Clyde ran on chocolate icing...

Wow I love these donuts. Elvis Presley posters line the windows. While the shop certainly isn't a marvel of organization or design,  this is a totally underrated donut shop on  The Hill,  very close to World's Fair Donuts. I like O'Fashion better.  We got a Chocolate Long John, Chocolate Iced Custard Filled, and Glazed. The woman behind the counter said Plain Glazed is their most popular and I see why.  The selection by 11am is bad, though. Nearly everything is sold out and I've been there once before with a similar situation, so get there before 10am. We got a coffee, milk, and 4 donuts for $3 and some change.  O'Fashion Donuts (314) 772-0398 5120 Southwest Ave  St Louis, MO 63110 Hours 5am-1pm DAILY
