St. George’s Donuts – East Sunshine, Springfield, MO
I’ve been coming to St. George’s Donuts on East Sunshine for over 30 years. It’s been a local favorite for my family and me, and I’ve always appreciated the fresh, flavorful donuts that made this place stand out. That’s why my visit yesterday morning around 8 AM was so disappointing.

Read moreDefinitely not the first time I've reviewed this particular donut shop.

Not another donut shop in Springfield could offer you a such a great variety and experience at a better value or even equal value! St George's without a doubt the best there is to offer in...
