It’s now possible to get your Strange Donut fix without making the trip to Maplewood (if you really want to do that).

Maplewood’s doughnut shop now offers delivery
throughout St. Louis city and parts of the county through Dovelo bicycle delivery.

Strange’s Corey Smale said customers had asked about delivery, and they chose Dovelo because it’s cheaper than other delivery methods and “really fast.” Smale said they delivered four dozen in an hour recently.

“We’re in Maplewood, which is kind of central to a lot of stuff,” Smale said.

Dovelo owner Nick Stewart and his team delivers an assorted dozen minimum. “The farther the range, the higher the delivery fee, starting at $4 in the Done Zone, or the Strange Range,” he said.

Stewart said the trip from Maplewood to downtown St. Louis takes about 50 minutes. Ordering is by phone or online at dovelo.com. It’s possible to order in advance or ASAP.

Stewart likes that he’s raising bike awareness in St. Louis while he delivers doughnuts.

“I think it’s a great city to ride in. In the past few years it’s developed so much – with cars being cool with bikes – and I’d like to see more of that, and this is a nice way to do that, while still making a living.”

Dovelo started bike delivery with Kaldi’s Coffee and added Kayak’s Coffee in August. Next: Watch for a donut-shaped bike rack in front of Strange Donuts.
