I've lived in the Pittsburgh area for 25 years now and I'm ashamed to say I've just now checked out Better Maid Donuts. I've always driven by the little pink house with the fresh donuts sign on the side but never really thought to stop. I had a good friend tell me they had the best donuts and it sells out without hours of opening each day.
So naturally when my boyfriend and I were craving donuts this weekend I decided to finally give it a try. Knowing they sold out quickly I made sure to look up their hours and planned to get there shortly after they opened. When my alarm went off that Saturday at 7am I happily jumped right out of bed.
While I waited in line I looked around trying to decide what to get for my first time. Since it was only donuts for 2 I thought 12 would probably be too many. Looking back I wish I got 12. I ended up picking 6 different donuts so I could give a few a try. I got a boston cream, jelly filled, 2 glazed, vanilla iced cake, and chocolate iced cake.
Boston cream has always been my favorite donut so I gave that a try first. It was fairly good but nothing mind blowing so I started to wonder if the hype was really real. I decided to try one of the glazed donuts next. I popped it in the microwave for a few seconds and bit into it. O-M-G. That was when I knew the hype was 100% real. These donuts are delightful. The donut practically melted in my mouth. I was ready to get back in my car and go grab another dozen of just glazed donuts.
Every since that moment I haven't stopped thinking about those donuts. It's on my way to work so I might be stopping everyday. If you haven't checked out Better Maid donuts yet I highly recommend it! Just make sure you arrive early. You won't regret it!
