The donuts are fantastic. Now I ain't going to lie. For a baker's dozen of donuts you're looking at $35-36 dollars IF you ask for a variety without specifying specific donuts. But I imagine it's at least slightly cheaper for, say, a box of 12 glazed. I'm speculating. I personally think $3 per donut is nuts, but the product is great and I love dictating where my money goes, vis-a-vis a family-owned black business. The parking is Maryland Plaza/Euclid parking, so it's only convenient between the hours of 6:00am and 8:30am. But the service is very friendly. Two thumbs up.

Donuts are ok nothing special about them other than over price. I paid $6.00 plus for 3 donuts. I asked how much are they she couldn't tell me because the price changes. I don't understand you'll never know how much a glazed donuts cost each day?

Pharaoh's has become a household staple given how reliable the quality is and how well-priced everything is. It's so easy to overlook it on a walkabout in Maryland Plaza because it's a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but it's definitely worth checking out. Service was quick and good. They've got all the classics and some fun ones that seem to be on rotation/based on season. The classics are as you'd expect them to be. Some of my favorites that I've tried are the cinnamon roll one (the perfect combination between a light, glazed donut and the flavors and swirl of a cinnamon roll) and the apple fritter (just such a solid pick with flavor and texture). They close pretty early and can run out every so often, so it's recommended to grab your donuts earlier in the day if possible!

I went here on a sunday morning at 8a the lady said they have no glaze, no long John's, no jelly.. only thing they had available were cake donut, fritters, maybe 3 cinnamon, and 1 red velvet. Highly disappointed because i drove here from N. County to support due to recommendations and I could've just went to dierbergs by my house because they didn't have anything ready and/or available

It was only one worker in there and he ain't even say hello to us nor how would i help you today and the donuts were broken and to doughy and too sweet all i could taste is sugar DONT RECOMMEND!!!!!
I ordered through grubhub for pick up because I had a narrow window at work to grab breakfast for some coworkers and myself. The cashier was very nice, but the order was not ready when I arrived. In fact, she seemed confused when I even mentioned I had a pick up order. When she realized I ordered through Grubhu she said she was glad I was there and proceeded to tell me that she didn't have HALF of the items in my order. She asked what I wanted to substitute, but none of what was in the case was labeled and I had no idea which items in the case were the same price as what I ordered, so I asked her to simply pick the items for me. Almost all of the items she put in the box were cheaper than the specialty doughnuts I actually ordered. The doughnuts were a good size for the price, and they didn't taste bad (more frosting than I would care for, personally) but overall the way this shop is run doesn't meet the expectation of a proper bakery or doughnut shop. I don't know any professional business that is this disorganized and unprepared for customers. The customer in front of me had to wait for the cashier to put money in her register and it was already 35 mins past opening time. Just kind of a mess of a shop. I was already hesitant about ordering from here because I had a bad experience with their downtown store years ago, but I think this is just normal for them. It's a shame, because they're one of the only "normal doughnut" places in the area. I can't say I'll go back, unless I really need a doughnut fix and also have the time to go order in person.

I've walked by this place many times during my visits to St. Louis, so finally decided to stop in and grab a dozen for my coworkers. They had a large variety of freshly made donuts at reasonable prices. Service was quick and efficient. My favorite was the caramel apple fritter.

I search for black owned coffe shops on yelp and this donut shop came up. I got a twist and a cake- cinnamon crunch and a apple fritter they were so so delicious. The twist was nice and airy. The cake donut just melted when you took a bit. Then the star of the show Apple fritter with small pieces of the apple to go with that airy dough soooo yummy. The service was so welcoming. This stop is a must when in STL.
