Donut Drive-in - St Louis

I visited during Easter and tried the donuts, which were absolutely incredible. Everyone loved them, from kids to adults. The caramel and bow tie donuts were fantastic, as well as the bunny-shaped ones.

Yesterday, Saturday, I arrived around 9:30 AM, and one staff member informed us that they would be open until 12:30 PM. With that information, my boyfriend and I decided to do some last-minute shopping. However, when we returned at 11:54 AM, we found the doors closed, and the staff said they were no longer serving customers. I was taken aback, especially since I had been told they would be open until 12:30. The most frustrating part was that my boyfriend was only in town for 24 hours, having arrived Friday night and leaving Sunday morning. He explained that he was just visiting and asked if we could quickly place an order, but a young employee shouted from behind the glass that it was all locked up. It's just donuts, not a lot to ask for! Typically, I recognize everyone working there since I visit weekly and bring friends and family who are in town to try it. It’s disheartening to witness this change in service. I used to bring my dogs along, and they would enjoy donut holes. Each time I picked up my boyfriend, his first request was always to go to Donut Drive. This recent experience was really disappointing. I hope they can bring back the original staff or provide better training for the new employees, as the management needs to improve the customer service experience.

I absolutely adore Donut Drive-In. The shop is quite small, but the donuts are incredibly charming. They frequently feature delightful designs that reflect the current season or holiday (check out the flower design in the picture below). Not only are the donuts visually appealing, but they also taste fantastic. My personal favorites are the chocolate and vanilla long johns, as well as the classic glazed. You really can't miss with any of them. Another significant advantage is their extended hours. So, if you're craving a donut at an unusual time, Donut Drive-In is definitely the place to be.

I've been here a couple times and love it! It is open for super long hours which is so convenient! It also doesn't seem to matter when you go as the donuts I have gotten have always tasted very fresh and have a very nice texture to them! They have a good variety of options and all that I've tried have been so good! Just note that it seems to be more of a pick up and go type place as there is no seating and is a pretty small building.

Tried this shop and another highly rated donut shop in STL, this was by far better. My only critique is that I asked for an old fashioned and what I got was definitely not that; however, it wasn’t bad. Just wasn’t quite a donut. Also got two frosted raised donuts which were the perfect density and tasted great
