I visited St. Louis for 4 days last week, and rediscovered my love for light, airy sugared and glazed donuts at Donut Drive-In at Watson Road @ Chippewa, which was there even in my childhood. I wish we had those where I live, but Dunkin' is just everywhere, and they're OK, but they don't even sell a yeast-raised sugar donut. Imagine a Krispy Kreme as a sugared donut, unglazed, and you get the idea of my ideal. Outlaw Donuts in NoAZ comes close to perfection.
When I lived in SoCal there was a different Asian family-owned donut shop in every strip mall and on every major intersection, thanks in large part to "The Donut King": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLKugGKgJsQ
What...and where...are YOUR favorite donuts?

Re: Your Favorite Donuts
The best donuts in St. Louis can be found at the Donut Palace in Ellisville and Sunset Hills.

Old Town Donuts in Florissant are my all-time favorite, but Sweet Spot in St. Ann is a close second. Schnuck's also makes surprisingly good donuts in-house.

Rise ‘n Roll Bakery is an Amish bakery just south of Indianapolis. Their doughnuts are oversized. This place should be shut down by the healthly code police.
