Alvin Donuts

Reviews Summary

Overwhelmingly positive reviews highlight exceptional customer service with friendly, kind owners who create a welcoming atmosphere. The food receives consistent praise, particularly the kolaches, croissants, donuts (especially glazed and specialty flavors), and breakfast sandwiches. Many note the freshness, quality, and great prices. The drive-thru convenience and accommodating staff (including special requests) are frequently mentioned. Multiple reviewers call it the best donut shop in the area, with some declaring it top-tier in the Houston region. The only minor critique was about early-morning service (rated 4 stars), but this was an outlier among the sea of perfect ratings. Vegetarian options and thoughtful touches (like free treats) further enhance the stellar reputation.

Customer Reviews

I?m so glad I found this place! From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the lovely staff, everything was done so quickly, amazing prices & phenomenal food! The sausage, egg & cheese croissant was perfection, the iced coffee was great quality & the glazed donut was delicious. I will definitely be a regular customer! They also have a drive thru which makes it sooo convenient!

My family?s favorite donut place for 3 1/2 years now ?????? amazing food & service!

We love Alvin Donuts! We consider them dear friends. They are very special. Delicious donuts and kolaches!

First off the food It is great the ice coffee Great and cheap that alone I would give them 5 stars but oh my God. The customer service. There is absolutely amazing if I could give them 10 stars or more I would. So with that I would Say this is not just one of the Best donut places in Alvin It's probably the best in all the Houston area.

Alvin Donuts has the best donuts, kolaches, croissants, breakfast tacos and Chapel Hill sausage kolaches you could ask for!! Molly and Nared, the owners are the most fun loving and caring people I have ever met. They run the shop professionally and also keep the store looking great!! I highly recommend this location for you next breakfast stop!!

We go there every Sunday before church and they are always friendly and smiling it makes for a great environment. The food is hot and the drinks are always cold. The vanilla ice coffee is amazing the perfect pick me up. We normally get the croissant sandwiches which are amazing. Great prices as well. Highly recommend!!!!

They are so friendly,!! Very delicious Doughnut! And kolaches . Will keep coming!!

The donuts are delicious but I would not buy the birthday donuts they advertise. The picture they display does not match what they are selling

I just had my first brisket kolachi and I'm telling you it was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had in 60 years. These owners are wonderful to my elderly parents when they come in. I had a great experience and will come in again before I return to Illinois

I very seldom give 5 star reviews but these people deserve it. Very nice people, and more importantly, the food is delicious. The donuts are good but the kolaches and the breakfast sanwiches are easily the best in Alvin. Even the prices are good. Please support this business.

If you haven?t already tried ALVIN DONUTS ?? please do! They have amazing customer service, very nice people and fast service! I have my hands full ?? and they were very sweet to my kids! My kids were in awe ?? Right behind Walmart in the little strip center. ????

This place is so amazing!!! the people there are so sweet and friendly. I go there for breakfast almost everyday. Their crossiants are so delicious and always freshly made! Def recommended if you want to pick up a quick delicious breakfast.

Just moved home from out of state and am so happy to have kolaches in my life again. Thanks for fulfilling that craving, Alvin Donuts! It's not listed on the menu, but they do have kolaches with jalape?os. The brisket kolaches are amazing.

Love their kolaches so much better than Shipleys. Son likes them too and he usually won't eat kolaches only donut holes but he actually really liked them. They have good selection of a variety of breakfast options and drinks. Drive through is pretty quick in the mornings too.

My favorite donut shop! Their glazed donuts are yummy and soft. The croissants and kolaches are yummy as well. The drive thru is very convenient. Their customer service is excellent!

Incredible, happy people that work here!

I'm a vegetarian and went in really craving a croissant. The lady there was so kind and made a special croissant for me without any meat. She definitely did more than she had to. I absolutely love this place!

Great experience! Friendly & inviting. Doughnuts, kolaches & more, all made with love! Absolutely recommended as one of the best donut shops in Texas, let alone in Alvin.

I love this place! They are always so kind! I called in super late notice for birthday donuts for my son and they were still so pleasantly ready to help! And they taste amazing!

Stopped in, and realised I missed the opening, which would have been on my guys b-day. I'm only telling this because they actually can make donuts in the shape of letters; Happy B-day, Congrats, and names. The owner is so sweet! She makes these mini kolaches my baby girl loves. Really good selection! Will be coming back!
