I did a happy dance when Dunkin Donuts came back to town, and I've made many a midnight run to Kirkwood to get them. However, Russell's Cafe & Bakery in Fenton makes a bear claw that will knock your socks off.

For convenience and quality, you can't beat Schnucks - without a doubt, the best grocery store donuts.

I'm really wanting to eat doughnuts for dinner ... I may have to have a taste test this week at your favorite places so I can make my final decision.

Actually, I like both DonutStop in Lemay for the typical donuts. I also like McAuthr's across the street from Mehlville High School. McAuthr's is the place to go for great cinnamon twist donuts. They are huge and delicious.

Donut Stop at Lemay & Telegraph is best in all St. Louis county, north, west and south. Customers come from all over Jefferson county also. Dunkin & Crispy Creme are so far behind in their donuts,
