Shay’s Donuts
1015 N Grand Blvd, St. Louis, MO
Crema's Take
“Shay's Donuts turns out fluffy, satisfying donuts that clearly resonate with St. Louis donut enthusiasts, though the shop seems to struggle with consistency in both execution and upkeep. While you'll find solid traditional glazed options and specialty drinks here, visitors have noted some concerns about the bakery's cleanliness and service reliability, suggesting this spot works best as a quick grab when you're craving a straightforward donut rather than a polished specialty coffee experience.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

I just had regular glazed donuts and they were alright. It was was hard for me to find. The lady said that their sidewalk sign was gone which should be a major priority for replace since it will be completely overlooked without one. I also think they'd benefit by opening a bit…
Rating: 5/5 Stars Absolute honor to be the first customer in this location! Pharaoh's Donuts makes the best donuts in St. Louis. I have always wondered why they did not expand outside of Downtown St. Louis--perhaps to maintain that authentic quality. Nevertheless, when they…
