S&L Donuts
280 US-60, Republic, MO
Crema's Take
“This beloved Republic institution transforms a simple donut shop into a community gathering spot where the staff remembers regulars and goes the extra mile—like making fresh donuts for eager kids or adding a surprise pastry to your order. Their Vietnamese coffee rivals specialty roasters with its smooth, nuanced flavor, while their rotating selection of donuts, kolaches, and breakfast croissants ensures there's always something fresh worth arriving early for, especially during the 7-8am rush. It's the kind of place where quality ingredients, genuine hospitality, and reasonable prices combine to make even a quick drive-thru visit feel genuinely special.”

We went inside and there was 4 pink donuts left, my 3 year old daughter asked the lady at the counter a pink donut please over and over! Which she replied hold on and went to the drive through and sold all the pink donuts!! Then said sorry sold out of the pink ones. When we were THERE FIRST. The blonde haired lady disregarded us completely after we said we wanted just ONE pink one for my daughter!! Absolutely soo sad, customer service here is awful, made my poor daughter cry.
Local donut shop, delicious donuts, breakfast croissants, kolache & coffee. Staff is extremely helpful & personable. Everything is fresh & delicious. Try the plain cake donut here compared side by side with the other shops around. Literally no comparison. These are fresh & tasty! The best way to gauge a good donut shop, try the plain cake donut. It shouldn’t have weird flavors, the taste lets you know if the oil it’s cooked in is fresh & if the other ingredients are fresh too like the flour. Dated a donut baker back in the day & learned this from them.
Ordered a Vietnamese coffee with nothing added, so smooth and flavorful i love it. Plus the lady gave me a donut after i bought one as well. Tastes amazing too
Delicious donuts, friendly staff, and great selection…even towards the end of the day. The strawberry glazed with sprinkles was tremendously yummy 😋. They even have some savory treats available. Drive through is a popular option here.
An excellent place to grab a morning bite to eat. They get really busy between 7 and 8am so be sure to run by early. From Doughnuts to Coffees, they have tons of great items at a reasonable price.
