About Us

Donut Palace has been a St. Louis institution since 1993. After 2 decades of being a part of the Saturday morning line, Steve and Ann Saladin became the 3rd owners of the Ellisville location in 2018. While a worldwide pandemic and its ensuing aftermath necessitated both changes and innovation, our commitment to quality in product and service remains stronger than ever.

While handcrafted donuts and homemade icings made from the best ingredients in the business are the secret to what makes our donuts the best in town, we place an equal emphasis on creating a customer experience where “the customer is king.”

As a locally owned and operated small business, we are proud to work alongside a small but mighty crew in the back and to be the first job for most of our kids behind the counter.

As lifelong St. Louisans, we are thrilled to be a special part of a special community!
