Customer Reviews

In my search for the best Apple fritter in Lufkin?I thought I found it! This fritter is huge and filled with apples! But I will not give 5 stars until it?s perfection. It tasted greasy ?? excellent customer service tho!

The gentleman was very nice, we got cinnamon roll, Apple fritter, donut holes, sausage, egg, and bacon burrito. All was really good.

We drive the extra distance just for these kolaches and doughnuts.

The donuts are good, the service is great and the location is convenient. Wish they would fill the potholes in their parking lot, but no other complaints at all.??

Amazing kolaches and the gentleman on duty was very polite and courteous. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping to say and and getting a delicious breakfast. The line was short when my wife and I went in. There was only one car at the drive thru window, but we decided to go inside. The service was fast, the kolaches were hot, and the gentleman working was friendly.
