My heart wants to gatekeep so bad. Best dough in Austin hands down. Koloches, croissant sandwiches, donuts. Always so soft and delicious.

I think this is my new favorite donut shop ? We went around 11:30am on a Saturday, and luckily there were still plenty of kolaches and donut options available. Here?s what we got... We ordered a small sausage and cheese kolache and a large sausage and jalape?o kolache, heated up, and they were perfect. They also have croissant kolaches which I?m very interested in trying in the future. I wanted to try the glazed donuts as a baseline? and it was incredible. Pillowy soft and delicious. One of the best glaze

This is the best donut shop in town!! The donuts are always so fresh and soft, I can?t get enough. Plus the staff is always so sweet???? Love this place!!!

this place has the best kolaches in the area ? I've tried plenty lol. On top of that the primary lady who works there is super nice and friendly. I only ever go to another place when they are closed, but it's never the same.

Exactly what you want from a locally owned shop! Fresh doughnuts, yummy kolaches, hot coffee and very friendly service. I love coming by here ??

Best kolaches and donuts! My toddler loves their kolache with ground sausage and rice, it is a bit spicy but she?s a weird toddler.

I am very picky about donuts and would have to say that thus far this place has THE best in Austin. More trendy places have crazy toppings but the donut base is terrible. Here its no frills, basic toppings but the donuts are FANTASTIC-- glazed donut was tender, chewy, and not too covered with sugar glaze. Good size too. At 99cents each, probably the best deal in town.

We LOVE combo donuts and Margaret, who runs the shop. The donuts are always fresh and the kolaches and croissant sandwiches are fantastic!

Combo Donuts is truly a hidden gem of South Lamar! This place has the best kolaches, and the most incredible donuts, in all of Austin. The dough they use for everything here is out of this world and makes all their products so fluffy and delicious. Margaret and her family are also the kindest, friendliest people- I?m happy to support such a great local business. Combo Donuts really can?t be beat! A few of my favorite items: Sausage and cheese kolache Boudain kolache Maple donuts Croissant bacon sandwhich D

Melt in your mouth. Seriously. These donuts are so fluffy and delicious. I love donuts. I love donuts so much that my wife and I had donuts at our wedding instead of cake. I wish we would?ve had THESE at our wedding! We ordered regular glazed, chocolate glazed, and cream filled eclair. This is definitely my new donut spot.

Best donut shop in Austin. Perfectly fluffy but still dense and incredible croissant sandwiches.

Great spot that?s easy to get into and Starbucks next door. Lady at the counter was so sweet! Tasty donuts and kolaches!!

They may not have tacos ??but the ham n cheese croissant was amazeballs! The donut holes are fluffy balls of glazed happy and the coffee is good too.

Omg the Doughnuts are delicious. my New favorite spot . ?? ??

Easily the best/most authentic kolaches & donuts in Austin. Houston is loaded with places like these- unfortunately coming to Austin I realized that a solid donut shop was hard to find. Combos jalape?o sausage and cheese kolaches are a refuge for a weary traveler.

Best yeast donuts I?ve had - the twists are amazing

Food is low mid if im honest but service is an absolute zero. Lady working the front is rude every time I go in. Will not be returning.

Like other reviewers had indicated, wished we were better informed about their schedule. To save everyone the drive here is a photo of their vacation notice. They will reopen on Thurs, JULY 13th!

I have eaten donuts all over the United States; including Voodoo Donuts in Portland, OR. None of those donut shops are as good as Combo Donuts! The donuts here are so fresh, so light, so tasty, and frankly so perfect. If you are ever in Austin, you have to grab a couple donuts (or a delicious kolache) at Combo Donuts!

Margaret is the sweetest local biz owner on S Lamar. The breakfast sandwiches and pastries are undefeated. Her Kolaches are so gd good and affordable.

The best doughnut shop in Austin. Doughnuts are fresh, soft, fluffy, and delicious. My office loves it when I bring these to work, and visiting friends/family always want to make a stop here before starting their day.

The best ?cold? donuts ive ever had! Great service and awesome, fluffy donuts and donut holes. Great variety of donut flavors, crossaints, and kolaches! highly recommend!

Really amazing donuts! Probably best in Austin!

Their donuts tasted doughy and slightly under cooked. The small kolaches didn?t offer a good meat to bread ratio. For two small kolaches and three basic donuts my total was just under $11.00. Pretty disappointing all around.

Fresh donuts! Great customer service! My boss loved the lemon filled one!

We are from out of town with our kids. I am not a big donut person but went our first morning for the kids breakfast and then every morning we were here because they are the best donuts we have ever had. Amazing. Owner was super nice too.

Awesome breakfast sandwiches and tacos.. the donuts are SO GOOD also. I love this spot.

The photos don?t make justice of this great donuts. They really melt in your mouth. Such a classic great donut.

Nothing about this donut shop looks particularly unique, but the reviews are true! They are some delicious, high-quality donuts! We ordered 1/2 a dozen and regret not ordering a dozen. Both cake and yeast donuts are light, flavorful and not overly sweet. We're from out of town and wish we had donuts anything as close to as good as these nearby! Like others have pointed out. These donuts are not piled with extras. They are just superbly crafted delicious and simple donuts. The blueberry cake donut was espec

Great customer service!! It was a pleasure getting donuts this morning.

If you appreciate a classic donut Combo Donuts is arguably the best in town and a top three I've had on my list. Their plain glazed donut is the best I've ever had. You might find other boutique & trendy donut shops in town that are receiving all the hype where they have $6 dollar donuts with all kinds of stuff going on with them, but Combo Donuts is a can't miss stop for the ability to do the basics the best and at the best price.

Yummy! Loved the Jalape?o sausage cheese kolaches.

The kolaches at Combo are heavenly delicious. I would definitely come back to get those and the donuts are mouth watering goodness.

Love this place, they know my order even if I haven't been in for weeks. Great couple runs the place, they are always friendly and I have had nothing but good luck whether i get donuts or kolaches or croissant sandwiches. They are all delicious.

The softest donuts I've ever had and the bear claws look like bear paws. Blueberry donuts are by far my favorite. One of the best kept secrets in the Austin area.

Oh my doughnut goodness! Combo Donuts is a total game-changer. ???? Their kolaches? I'd name my future pet after those little pockets of joy. And don't even get me started on their donuts ? they're so soft and squishy, it's like biting into a cloud of happiness! ????? But wait, there's more! The owner is like a sprinkle of sunshine ? cute, friendly, and always ready to make your day dough-lightful. If you haven't been here, you're seriously missing out on a hole lot of goodness! ??????

I am new to Austin, TX. My father and I were walking down the road when we saw this donut shop, so we decided to pop in. The woman that took our order was so sweet and nice, she asked us about our journey and seemed genuinely interested. To top it off, the donuts and breakfast sandwiches are delicious (and the prices are incredible)! I love seeing them bake in the back, everything tastes so light, fluffy, and fresh. I definitely recommend this place for newcomers! ??

The best donuts hands down. All the donuts and food is so fresh you can taste it. Plus, the owners are super nice and amazing people. You don?t know what your missing until you have one. I drive across town for these donuts and I will as long as I live in Austin.

Woah came here not expecting to be blown away. Immediately noticed the size and quality of glaze on the donuts. Over proofed in the best way, double the size and fluff, glaze is QUALITY, held up perfectly into the next day. Hidden gem, sweet woman that runs it. Anyone leaving poors reviews on the place is a tool.

I go there often. Great people and great donuts. The spicy kolache is my favorite

My favorite place in Austin for donuts. They are consistently delicious! These are the donuts of your childhood. Everything is great, but my favorite is the chocolate cake donut. The eclair is a close second. Service is always outstanding and it's very clean inside. They have serious Covid19 protections in place now, which I really appreciate.

The donuts are unbeatable plus, one step in and you know it?s gonna be good. The clean, bright yellow environment aligns with what you crave when wanting amazing donuts. That cheery build up to a sugar treat :) Staff is warm and attentive, definitely will be back for a nice change in my family?s quarantine breakfasts.

I've been a customer for years! Great breakfast crossaint... apple fritters...kolaches...everything is made with care! Owners do it all, truly a family owned spot. When COVID hit, this couple did everything in their power to stay open and ensure customers where safe! Even tool curbside orders via phone. I will continue being q customer as they have never let me down on how consistent they are with the quality of their food and their service!

The donuts here are great..you can actually taste the strawberries on the strawberry ?? covered donuts! They don't have a drive through but it is worth it to go inside. The lady was very kind and friendly. She was also very honest...

Great donuts and the owners are so sweet! She always has a smile on her face and asks how's your day going. The plain glazed are so light and pillowy! I stop in here at least once a week to get donuts for my staff and they are always gone in an instant when I get in!

Hands down, probably the best glazed donut I?ve ever had! I?m a bit a doughnut connoisseur, and these?are some really good donuts and no frills. They also have an assortment of pigs in a blankets, and simple breakfast tacos for the non sweet as well

Wow this was delicious! We got the blueberry donut, old fashioned with vanilla frosting and sprinkles, bearclaw, apple fritter and Bavarian cream donut - every single one was divine. Even the boudin kolache and sausage cheese croissant were great. There were still a lot of selection when we arrived an hour before closing!

Super friendly staff. The kolache and croissant bread was light and very fresh. The eclair and apple fritter were delicious. The kolaches are sausage (hot dog) with optional cheese and jalapeno, so not much variety. Still worth checking out for a change from breakfast tacos. ;)

I love the donuts here. They are extremely soft and fresh. The croissant sandwich was also really great. I do not prefer the sausage kolaches because it was too salty. But overall a great experience.

Store was closed during their advertised hours. Combo Donuts, don?t post your store hours online if you aren?t going to update them.

Listen, get ready for endless kindness and sweetness coupled with the most delicious apple fritter you've ever had. I mean it, this apple fritter puts all others in existence to shame. It is the best doughnut I've ever had in my life. Crunchy crispy sweet succulent mouthwatering goodness. Don't like apple fritters? Well I pity you, but everything else there is top notch as well.

Can?t believe how friendly and wonderful this family always is to see their guests. And then there?s the apple fritter with so much apple it?s considered more of a fruit than a donut, and the jalape?o kolaches with sweet bread, and the double chocolate donuts with the crispy bottoms illustrating that homemade feel?

If you?re looking for the most affordable and convenient croissant sandwich in Austin, this is it. Love this spot for years & the family who owns/operates it are lovely people.

Sadly good for many people only, there is a $5.00 minum order for single items from $.79 doughnuts to $1.49 kolaches??. 01/05/21 update, I bought a lot of doughnuts and had two of them the apple fritter and strawberry glaze. The apple fritter was better than most because it was crispy but had small and very few apples, which where flavorful. The strawberry glaze had no strawberry flavor and strawberries and cream look of the glaze was not delicious despite its appearance.

Great customer service and delicious donuts. The kolaches are really big as well!

Gobbled them up before I remembered I should have taken a picture. We got long johns, doughnuts (both cake and raised), and sausage kolaches. So delicious. Fast service, couldn't believe what a bargain it was too. New household favorite for sure!

We go to Combo Donut ever Sunday and Miss Margaret and her husband are so sweet and truly make the best donuts we have ever had. The kalaches and breakfast sandwiches are also second to none! This is an Austin MUST!

I can't say anything about the donuts as they were out when I went. I only had a credit card with me and they require a $5 minimum purchase so I asked if I could try one of the donut holes (there were LOTS). The woman behind the counter said, "No, we sell those." So I left. I'll never go back. Extremely poor customer service.

Not sure when they were supposed to be back from vacation but it?s July 17th and they still seem to be closed. Maybe they went out of business? Rating 5 stars because I tried them only once and their pigs-in-a-blanket were amazing!

The donuts are delicious, but make sure you ask them to warm it up if you are going to eat there. Really what I like about this place is it is right next to Starbucks so I can get my coffee and my daughter can have her treat!

Absolutely recommend this place. The kolaches are perfect (hard to do) and the donuts are delicious. The glazed ones especially, which remain pillowy and fluffy the whole time you?re eating them.

Best Boudin kolaches in town! The donuts and sausage jalape?o kolaches are incredible but boudin options here cannot be beat. Plus the woman who runs the front is super sweet!

Family owned. Delicious donuts. Great customer service. Definitely check this place out. It's a hidden gem.

There?s always a friendly face at the counter. The service is exceptional and the doughnuts are great. Yes I know, there?s gourmet doughnut shops all over Austin but this place is affordable and everyone is welcome. DON?T BELIEVE THE BAD REVIEWS!!!

BEST DOUGHNUTS EVER!!!! the service is so good that I make my aww shucks face. And on my way to school I eat the dounuts later

Tender, flaky, sweet, spicy, cheesy, and a good sausage to boot. A very delicious kolache. Very yummy donut. The chocolate donut tasted like actual good chocolate.

Lovely neighborhood donut dive! Always friendly service always delicious donuts but do yourself a favor and never try the apple fritters The Dark caramel coating abundance of apples and absolutely delicious frosting will ruin you!

Excellent customer service! Thank you. Our toddler loved it!

Good donuts, but not the most amazing I've ever had. Custard has a tart flavor to it. The lady at the counter was very friendly, though.

Best donuts in Austin and very reasonable prices, not a big fan of savory kolaches /klobasniky in general so won?t comment on that.

I love this place, they have great pricing and quality food! The kolaches are to die for! Thank you combo donuts!

Great service and Great product. Real home cooking taste. You can feel that they really care about what they do!

Kolaches were perfect and that it was not overcooked like some places. Thank you!A great selection even though it's later on in the day.

I don?t need a fancy donut place, no voodoo, no gordoughs, literally this place is the bomb. I don?t eat donuts a lot, a couple times a year, mostly when I?m going through a period of depression or I?m hungover. BUT WHEN I DO, I go to COMBO DONUTS. They are incredible!!!!!

Their glazed doughnut is the best glazed doughnut I've ever had. A fresh hot glazed is like eating sweet clouds. Airy and delicious!

Great big donuts and nice folks. Just a heads up, prices have increased about 66% from what is listed on the website. Still worth it.

These are hands-down the best donuts I?ve ever had. They are the perfect amount of fluffiness, and the flavors are impeccable! The maple donut is the best!!

Been going here for years - excellent donuts, light and fluffy - standard and boudin kolaches are wonderful as well.

$42.40 for a dozen donuts and a dozen SMALL kolaches. I order this every weekend, first and LAST time from this location. Was told due to inflation. More like price gouging.

Best donuts and kolaches! The owners are very nice and it's always a pleasurable experience when I go. Very reasonably priced too.

Not an Austin local. Decided to check out this place while waiting for food at another place, and was happy to do so! Really great fluffy, soft, not too sweet donuts!

Amazing, soft, no-frills donuts. I could just eat the glazed ones and be happy. I'm pretty picky about donut quality, but whatever their recipe is, it's on point.

I get really picky with doughnuts but this shop had some really fluffy good doughnuts! The owner was also super sweet!

Hidden in plain sight ?? The donuts are fresh, kolaches yummy, and the owners nice. Also, there is no distracting music - quiet can be very nice.

Really easy process and good donuts. The jumbo jalapeno kolaches are also very good

Just what I needed for my donut fix. Great selection and delicious. No need for this place to be fancy, the donuts say it all.

Amazing donuts ?? GOTTA GET THE CLASSIC GLAZED ITS THE BEST IVE EVER HAD ALSO SUPER SWEET LADY AND SERVICE THANK YOU COMBO DONUTS!??

Donuts are fresh and really really delicious, and the service is friendly. So glad to have this place in the neighborhood.
