Better Maid Donuts provides a different take on average doughnuts. Located in the middle of the Crafton Heights neighborhood, on Steuben Street, Better Maid does more than make delicious doughnuts. It can be referenced as a typical “hole in the wall,” but the service is nothing short of the friendliest. The inside is lined with endless shelves of doughnuts, which are made to crispy perfection. They have the classics: glazed, chocolate/vanilla frosted, Boston cream, jelly-filled and more. However, they also make atypical flavors that would not be found at a local Dunkin’ Donuts: strawberry glazed, raspberry filled, and hazelnut. Whether one doughnut is ordered or 20, they are served in plain cardboard boxes. The only downside, however, is that from Baldwin-Whitehall, Better Maid is about 30 minutes away. Also, it does not have a large sign in front, so it is difficult to locate. Overall, Better Maid Donuts succeeds in satisfying all doughnut needs.
