My local grocery store now sells Ex Cop donuts and I will have to say they are pretty tasty. They don’t carry a large variety but more of your basic donuts. The interior is so fluffy and delicious and have a nice fried exterior. Very good donuts.

Awesome donuts, friendly service, excellent coffee and cappuccino, a little on the pricey side for donuts, though.

A great neighborhood donut shop. Bacon maple doughnuts are to die for. Not a super selection but what they serve is all good.

Donuts here are spectacular and every employee I have been helped by here has been superb. I occasionally take these donuts to work and inevitably I will have a number of people ask me where they came from because they really are incredibly fresh and delicious. I wouldn’t even think of getting donuts somewhere else. Also, the maple bacon long john is incredible.

Been here several times now and really love it. They have a great variety of interesting flavors and the doughnuts are moist and delicious. The fritters may be their best doughnut despite being known for the maple bacon. They are also very generous to local churches.

Oh wow! I had gone in search of a good bacon donut, and I FOUNDIT. It may sound weird, but finding the right blend of maple and bacon seems to be difficult in my experience of bacon donuts(which I love). They definitely have it right! And my guy actually said this place was better than Tim Horton’s(his fav) which is HUGE praise! We got to talking with the family owners and they ended up bringing us 3 other donuts to try for free. Great people, great donuts, and their drink and coffee selection was pretty awesome too.

First time visiting this past weekend and came in a bit late so the pickings were slim. That being said, me and my donut tasting crew tried four different ones. The Sicilian was excellent and is probably one of their more popular. The texture of the iced glaze was great. The custard was great as well. Felt the staff was very friendly to us as well. They are a contender at this point for our favorite area donut shop. Will be revisiting them soon.

Wow. Just wow. I’m from KC. I was in town unexpectedly with my family and out of ideas. My inlaws live dangerously close to this place and I dropped in on a whim. These are quite possibly the best donuts I’ve ever tasted. We had an obligatory bacon donut which was good but my recommendation in the old fashioned donut. Spectacular. We’ll be back.

This is definitely the best donut shop in South County and possibly one of the best in the St Louis area. The donuts always taste incredibly fresh, and they have several options for different types of donuts. They have all your classic donuts plus a couple newer ones like Butterfinger or the now-famous bacon maple. It’s a nice little shop to pop into and pick up a few donuts or to sit down and enjoy right there in the store. Much better than any chain-type donut shop, that’s for sure!!!

Our family has an occasional«donuts after church» tradition. Today we tried the Ex Cop Donut Shop. This was my first time here. My wife and kids had been here once before when I was traveling for work. Friendly staff. While we were browsing the donuts, the woman behind the counter gave our children two donut holes. Today, I tried the maple bacon donut. Very tasty. Reminds me of pancakes and bacon with maple syrup. Definitely worth trying. I also had the white mocha. It was good. It’s from a real espresso machine. None of that pre-mixed junk that you get from Tim Hortons or Dunkin Donuts. The donuts are very fresh and moist. Not a lot of seating, but they do have tables outside. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Just so good. Seriously. So good. Yeah obviously making fun of cops eating donuts never gets old, but their actual donuts are amazing. AMAZING. I know I’m not the most reliable source for donut information, since I think the day olds at the gas station are amazing, but you can count on me for having sampled donuts from pretty much every donut place this side of the Mississippi, and this place is in the top 3, for sure. FORSURE.

I found my new love affair: maple bacon donuts! I admit, I am not a big fan of bacon, especially bacon on a sweet product originally intended to be a dessert item. The bacon sundae from Burger King? Nasty! Why on earth would places want to make a bacon milkshake? Nasty! But this donut was absolutely delicious. It tasted like a mixture consisting of maple bacon and pancakes. This establishment also has other great options including red velvet, oreo and butterfinger. The only disadvantage about this place is that prices can be a tad high. I paid almost $ 15 for a dozen donuts. It will be a stop, however, it might have to be a once in a while splurge, just because of their high prices.

I wanted to like this place alot too! As another reviewer stated. Old fashioned dougnut very very soft and yummy but also extremely small for the price. But that aside, the young man behind counter at 5:30 am barely spoke to me. Too early for him I guess. I won’t return. I’m sure dunkin I’s just as good.

I really, really wanted to like Ex Cop Donut Shop. It’s desperately needed in an area that is saturated with corporate chains that offer nothing but overly processed coffee and baked goods. Pros: It has a great location(i.e. easy to get to, lots of parking), the staff seemed friendly, and they had a good amount of product left for a Sunday afternoon. Cons: the maple bacon donut had such an overpowering plastic-y taste that I threw it away after one bite, the baked goods seemed inconsistent and sloppy, and the man making my coffee was WAY too overwhelmed by my order of a «large iced vanilla latte» that I ended up having to essentially pour it myself. Sadly, I’d rather drive and extra 25 minutes into the city limits for my donut/coffee fix.

Absolutely the greatest. Friendly staff and great donuts. We had the blueberry, chocolate covered strawberry cheese cake, maple bacon, ricotta, and a long john. They were all great I especially liked the maple bacon and ricotta. Coffee was great too.

These donuts are super fluffy, with amazing flavor. The chocolate icing they use on the long john is the best I’ve ever tasted on a donut. Biting into the glazed donut was like biting into a white, heavenly cloud. They also had a nice selection of flavored coffees, lattes, etc. to compliment their donuts. Plus it’s locally owned and the staff were super friendly. Who needs Krispy Kreme?!

A very nice donut shop with good selection, good donuts, and actual seating. My biggest complaint with most donut shops is that they don’t have a place to sit and enjoy the donuts. Who knows, I might want more if they are good. Well, they are good here. They also offer some pastries, cannoli, and Belgian waffles. My son and I had a Butterfinger and a strawberry cheesecake donuts while we were told that the bacon and maple syrup donuts were the best.
