Customer Reviews

We paid $7 for one crappy kolache and a small ?brisket? kolache. They were both terrible, tasted like chemicals (especially the ?bread?). There was about 1 tablespoon of brisket and cheese surrounded by a fluffy bread. For $7 I?d expect way better. Definitely won?t be back here.

I hate doing this because bad reviews aren't good for business, but in this case I have to. I stopped in this morning Feb 1, 2025. One of the items I ordered was a breakfast sandwich. On the window outside, it says Taco and sandwiches made to order but inside, there is an array of sandwiches already made, so he pulls one out and puts it in the microwave. I paid for my items an went on to my destination. I just arrived and began eating. Within 5 minutes my stomach was hurting and I wanted to puke! I can tast

5 stars due to being a new establishment with a friendly atmosphere. Everything seemed fresh, and cooked that early morning with the sweet aromas from the donuts, and the kolaches. I never had a Boudin kolache before but it tasted great just like the other different types they had. Fresh pot coffee on site along with a variety of cold drinks. Seating is available inside that probably holds about 20 people inside. The staff is very friendly from the moment you walk in, and out. The price is about average wh

I?ve been going here for yrs since it first opened and it has always been a pleasant visit everytime. I go atleast once a week. The people working there are always so welcoming and kind. The donuts are so yummy and soft and the kolaches are great! Way better than the big chain donut shops in my opinion. Highly recommend!

The donuts are SO GOOD! Way cheaper than Shipley's and just as good! Very thrilled to have a good donut shop near by. The woman who was serving us was so very sweet and efficient. We ordered a dozen and they were almost gone before we got home.. Mmm. Worth the visit. Give this place the business they deserves! Stop by when given the chance, soooo worth it. Edit: 3 years later and still my favorite ?? ??

Outstanding customer service! Some of the friendliest folks I?ve ever met at a donut shop. My 4-year old son has been on a ?quest? for green iced donuts for some time and, Lo and behold, he found his Holy Grail at 1st World Donuts! With sprinkles! The smiling and friendly gentleman behind the counter hand-presented the treasure to my son, which totally made his day! There were also some gratis donut holes hidden in his bag for an extra bounty! The gentleman was called away to the drive thru window while I w

This place is awesome for a few reasons. 1. It's close by and amazing service. 2. They have old fashioned glazed version. 3. They have amazing spicy boudin klobasnikys (kolaches for those who dont know what a real kolache is) 4. Donuts always seem fresh and always taste amazing. 5. Their bacon egg cheese croissant is good too. Don't be alarmed if the bacon or egg isn't fried or cooked to your exact liking. I love food, especially breakfast. So, as long as its cooked correctly to standards that mean

1st Donut World always has the best donuts and even better customer service. Love brining my boys in to pick out donuts. We have tried quite a few different items and they are all delicious.

Great cake donuts. Kolaches are a little dry and could use more cheese . I had the kountry boy sausage, sausage and cheese, and the ham and cheese. The colorful selection of donuts makes this place worth checking out especially if you have kids.

I love their donuts so much! The staff is very friendly from the moment you walk in and walk out. They give you your food very fast. The donuts are fresh and give an amazing aroma to the shop. I would 100% recommend.

The service is nice. The people working are very wonderful. Donuts are great

On March 3rd the donuts and Taco sandwiches were great. Today, a week later, the Taco sandwiches tasted like they were mass produced and were cold, and the glazed donuts did not taste fresh either like the previous Sunday, they too were cold and mass produced. The donut shop is expensive, especially for the poorly made food items we ordered this morning. Disappointed beyond words, 1 doz glazed, 2 doz holes, 2 small Taco sandwiches came to $16.00

This place is AHmazing, I just moved to the area and since I moved, I stop here every morning! They are super nice and have the best Kolache?s and croissants! I switch between getting the Ham and Cheese croissant and the Boudin Kolache, I get one for breakfast and one for lunch! Your missing out if you don?t come here! Plus it has a drive thru!!

They are amazing people! I am considered a regular since I go there all the time with my little sister in law and my mother in law! They all are sweet people. They are the best! Thank you so much for being amazing!!!

Currently trying not to puke in my car... Bit into a ham and cheese kolache my hubs just bought for us and the kids along with some donut holes. I swear they used spam for ham. It was a square stick of questionable meat. Ew. And the donut holes tasted funny.

So excited to have fresh donuts and a wide variety of kolaches nearby! Very friendly service, great prices, generous for birthdays. We'll be back!

So much love to Bonny and her son. Family owned and operated. From mini Cinnamon rolls to individually filled donuts, breakfast sandwiches or kolaches.

Worst donuts I've had in a while, even the donuts at Walmart are better. Got a dozen donuts, half iced, half glazed, and donuts holes (there were only six in the bag). The total came out to $12, bloody overpriced!

I always love going here. You get greeted as soon as you walk in and they are quick to get you on your way. Sweet ladies!

I love the rich and strong vanilla flavor in their glazed donuts. The donuts truly taste different and better than regular chain donut stores.

Literally the best Donut ?? shop! Great pricing, The owner and staff are friendly helpful and fast! Wether you're a donut lover or just stopping by for a quick bite 1st Donut World has got you covered!

Wonderful service, amazing donuts and are always willing to make them fresh out for you if want. Hands down my favorite breakfast place!

Great Food, Great Service. I visited this place while headed back from Work and I enjoyed the Fresh Beverages and Hot Donuts and Kolaches. Would go again!

Kolaches are good, cake donuts are soft and sweet. Apple fritters are dry.

Fantastic Donuts and even better staff, donuts are delicious,and the staff are some of the most friendly people I've ever met,10/10 would recommend ??

Good donuts, decent coffee, but much more expensive than I expected. There are other shops in the area that are much more reasonable.

Best old fashion donuts in this area! I love the Breakfast Croissant with no meat, just egg & cheese.

Great place! Lots of option.

They are making the kolaches and doughnutd smaller but still the same price will not be returning. Thats bad business

Really great Donuts, one of their first customers! We are definitely going again!! ??????????

Excellent! Breakfast tacos stuffed full, doughnuts fresh & tender. They even throw in a little extre!!!

Great place with even greater donuts! Highly recommend it ??

The croissant was good and I didn't know that the cinnamon twists came with chocolate icing!!!! I'll be back as Arnold says.

I went @ 6:15 am to buy warm donut. All I wanted was warm donuts.They don?t have warm donut!!

Grabbed kolaches for an early commercial shoot and they were great

Those donuts were amazing... My dozen and a half I bought for the shop disappeared in ten minutes!
