In town for a visit, stopped here because of the reviews. They didn’t disappoint! My kind of place. No frills but super sweet/fun customer service and great donuts that reminded me of the classic bakeries we patronized growing up… thank you!
This place is amazing (albeit tough to find open). The best cake donuts anywhere. (Anywhere!) I time my trips to Pittsburgh (and fast for a day) just so I can be there when they open. Great business.
The donuts are good, used to get them a lot when I worked in west end. Lately, though, it appears as though they do not open at 630 any longer. Heads up for you early birds. Here at 635 am on april 22 and not open. Been the case several times lately while trying to get some to take to work.
In my father-in-law’s words… “A culinary treasure!” They really are amazing donuts. The cake donuts are crispy on the outside and moist inside. The buttercream are so fluffy, but melt in your mouth. This is not a chain store. Owner makes the donuts himself, so if he’s not feeling well, they are not open. Absolutely worth stopping if you see the sign out on the sidewalk!
Third time is a charm! That's how many times I've tried to get my hands on some of these donuts but they were always sold out. Got there at 8am this time and walked away with a dozen of the most perfectly made donuts around. Dough was light fluffy, and crisp depending on the kind you get. Not overly sweet just right. Great selection of types and flavors. Excellent across the board.
I give up. I've attempted to go here 5-10 times over the last few months and I've never seen them open. And every time I go, it's about 630am and it's always on days they are apparently "open".Not worth trying anymore. There are other places that are delicious and reliable and friendly.
The nicest owners and the best old fashioned sour cream donuts you will ever find! The prices are unbelievable too!
It’s worth getting up early for these magnificent creations. The cake donuts are fried until crispy which is probably part of the reason why they cannot produce large quantities and consistently sell out early! Anyone who is upset about their hours is not truly passionate about donuts. ?
This place was so so so good! I’m glad I finally was on that side of town to give them a try. It’s a small shop. The 2 people inside were extremely personable. Such good conversation. I see a lot of reviews where people are complaining about their times that they’re open or not. It’s a very small place, family owned, 2 people. Big business are altering their hours because they have no staff. So think about how hard it must be for a small business. I’m sure they’re trying their best! And the donuts did not disappoint. I suggest if you’re riding by and you see the open sign lit up, give them a try! 4.50 for a half dozen. Some places want 10 bucks! Will definitely recommend! Keep doing what you do. Love small businesses!
You do not come here for the fancy decor and you do not come for punk-ass hipster flavors. You show up to Better-Maid for tried and true classic donuts that kick most other shops square between the legs. By far the best cake donut in town.
