Customer Reviews

I love this donut shop! The owners are sweet as can be, donuts are delicious (best old fashioned donut I?ve had), and the kolaches are good! Definitely better than the chain shops hands down!

I got the donut holes and an ?clair. The donut holes were warm, soft, and perfectly glazed. The ?clair was full of sweet cream and nice and soft as well. Both are delicious, and I can't wait to go back and try more!

I just had this place a few days ago and it was wonderful! The employees are very friendly, helpful, and the food was absolutely amazing! Delicious donuts and I highly recommend the kolaches, they were the best kolaches I've had in Texas!

Awesome little donut place. Super friendly staff, cute building, and yummy donuts. Can't wait to stop there again!

Don?t let the building deceive you. Academy Donuts is a great place to get breakfast!

This is a routine stop any time I make a trip to Dallas. Nice people, good food, good coffee, fair price. Parking is about timing.

I love small town donut shops. Small display with awesome choice selections. You tell them what filling you want so they will not be out of what you want.(Unless they run out of the filling itself I guess.) Cheap in price, 12.45 for 10 donuts/rolls. Will definitely be back.

We drive the extra miles to get donuts here. DELICIOUS!
