Pharaohs Donuts

This place has potential but missed the mark for me. I had their apple fritter and old fashioned donuts since most of the other choices were simply donuts with toppings which isn't my favorite. The fritter was great as an iced donut but I didn't taste any apple at all. The old fashioned was too soft on the outside and lacked that crunchy outside you expect from a sour cream donut.

Drum Roll Please: Me, raised in Illinois. Appreciate, St. Louis Finest. Yes, I said it. St. Louis, you have showed out once more. Pharoahs Donuts, took me wayyyy back, to Good Eatin!! Listen, I Demand a Reality Show for, "Pharoahs Finest Donuts. The Atmosphere, was amazing, crowded with people buying good tasting Edibles..Young lady working was so nice & me and my six friends with me, will be back. Grade, A+

Wow. I was skeptical when I walked in because to be honest the place is a bit run down and behind the counter was quite a mess, and there was a bit of smoke in air from something having been burnt... Anyways! Selection was pretty low, even at 930am on a Tuesday. I got the cinnamon roll and hot damn, it went right into my top 3 favorite donuts list! So light and fluffy and the best part was it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. Perfect amounts of cinnamon and a nice thin glaze... The price was very reasonable, only $2 and change for something so delicious! I'll absolutely be back! Highly recommend trying!

We walked down to try these donuts before heading to the arch for the day. We got there early, and they still had a good selection of donuts. I had a lemon donut, which was really good, and the glaze didn't leave that weird film on your teeth like some other chain restaurant donuts. The cake donuts were also good and soft. Atmosphere was basically just kinda run down inside, bathroom was out of order and they didn't have any almond milk options. So I would suggest going and grabbing some donuts as they are delicious and walk to a different cafe to grab a coffee and enjoy in one of the parks around the city.

Good for a fast snack! Enjoy self-made fresh donuts and more! Coffee was OK. No hot chocolate available, but cold one. Not expensive! So recommended! The inside look although could be better. Positive is, that you can watch the bakers make donuts! ✨️
