Customer Reviews

Always so nice and very welcoming! I've never had a bad experience and the donuts always taste great! It is mine and my husband's favorite place to drop in and get some donuts.

I ordered a dozen this morning (8.18) and they showed up, looked delicious. Unfortunately they were as stale as anything I?ve ever eaten. Granted they were door dashed, and had some travel time, but they tasted like they were made three days ago and sat on the counter for all that time. My wife and youngest got the kolaches and they were stale and flavorless.

My new favorite donut shop. Love the mochi donuts! The cream cheese mochi donut is my favorite. Wonderful place! You can really feel the love and attention the owners put into their food when you eat it. Very special!

Don?t order through DoorDash. Placed an order for 2 doz glazed, 3 doz donut holes, and a half doz other donuts at 7 AM. Got an email saying a glazed donut was not available, crediting me back the cost of a single donut. The 2 doz glazed did not arrive at all. I got 2 doz holes instead of 3 doz. (The half doz other donuts did arrive.) No time to reorder from another merchant. This was an order I was sending to school with my son. I called Crown, and they were not able to communicate in English to resolve

Friendly, fast service. Was amazed with the taste of the food for the price I paid. Beautiful atmosphere inside as well. Visit if you get a chance!

What a lovely place with fast and thorough service! I really enjoyed my donut holes and will plan to come back soon! As soon you can see, I barely made it home before finishing lol

I used to walk here all the time around 13 years ago when I lived in the neighborhood down the street. I was so surprised to see that the new owners have elevated my favorite neighborhood donut spot to heights I only dreamed of. Each pastry is made with care and love and you can sense the joy and excitement in the energy of this place. So happy to share this spot with my beloved family! Thank you!

Donuts were delicious. Had the cinnamon roll, soft and fluffy, and a kolache. Owners were very welcoming when we came through the door.

I came here a few times for the famous apple fritter but it was always sold out so I tried other places and crown donuts simply tastes better so I always come back. Kolaches are delicious. Filled donuts are filled when ordered. Fritters are amazing with lots of real apples ??

Exceptional on every level. You will leave there in a great mood because they are the cheeriest servers and the donuts are so fresh and delicious ? a must go to you won?t be disappointed.

Great kolaches, croissant sausages, fluffy and melt in your mouth donuts! Wonderful service and the friendliest staff! Great place!!

They are a very kind and friendly. I bought a variety of doughnuts and it's the best donut I've ever had in Austin. ?? ?????.

Ham & cheese croissant was excellent. Kolaches were real spicy like i like. Blueberry doughnut holes are AWESOME! Prices are very reasonable. Looks real dumpy from outside...it's real cute inside!

Nice little donut shop, the employees, im assuming owners, were very friendly and helpful. They were out of the kolache my wife wanted, but had plenty of her second choice, and they even threw in a honey roll because they don't make the cake donut holes I was looking for except on Sat/Sun. Which was very sweet of them and I greatly appreciate.

This place is amazing!!! The staff is friendly and the place is neat and clean. The kolaches are perfect ratio of breading to stuffing. Not too much breading like other places. They have several different types of filling for the eclairs, which I think is amazing!!! And you have try the spinach and feta kolaches, it. Not only looks beautiful but tastes amazing!!! We have found our go-to donut place after months of searching. Looking forward to seeing you every Saturday!!

My daughter and I love coming here! The mochi donuts are amazing and the kolaches are tasty as well. The owner is a very sweet lady and she always brightens our day.

Best donuts in Austin. Have to try their kolaches. 10/10

What a great find! This shop is clean and the donuts are delicious! They even filled one of the donuts for me on the spot, yum!

This was the best customer service I ever experienced in a donut shop! The I love the atmosphere and the donuts are actually so delicious. Very fresh and tastes like it was made by someone who really cares about their creation!

Owners are lovely. Donuts are yummy. 10/10

Best mochi (rice) donuts in town, hands down. Crispy, chewy but still light, icing is a nice compliment but not too much or too sweet. The flavors are subtle so don't be afraid to pick up a couple you might not normally gravitate towards if they're out of what you initially wanted. (Only downside is that they do tend to run out and they aren't always ready right at opening time- 7 AM is when I was told) I like the Milk Tea but the sugar, taro, coffee, and mango ones are also good. The other stuff is also g

These donuts have the perfect texture and sweetness for me, and they have a boudin, stuffed kolachi and mochi donuts (which are my favorite). Every time I go, these ladies are the sweetest, and they sometimes Surprised me with a few doughnut holes. I love it here! ??

OMG HAD THE MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE HERE. Both of the ladies behind the counter were very sweet!! The atmosphere was so good, I love all the decorations and colors. It was over All good vibes. I will definitely be coming back!

We are so happy this cute donut place just opened! The interior has such unique style and the donuts are just too good

This is the sweetest local donut shop! Very kind and generous people run the business, have been gifted free donut holes which makes me very happy! They have treated me and my partner very kindly! The donuts here are perfect as well! The mochi donuts are my favorite! I heavily recommend this place for the sweet treats and the service!

Great place to grab a breakfast! Very nice people and delicious food, always happy to stop by!

Great place to get breakfast. I got the sausage, bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich and it was made fresh. The donuts are quite tasty.

The people here are so friendly and kind! When we come here, our days are actually brighter because we?ve had such a positive interaction. The food is great, their kolaches are amazing! If you?re looking for a friendly atmosphere with a good quick breakfast, this is the place to go. I will absolutely come in here over the convenience of a drive through any day!

Really tasty donuts, I especially like both the sugar and milk tea mochi donuts. Really friendly service and overall a super pleasant experience. Next time I?ll have to buy more and share!

I live like 2 minutes away from this Donut Shop but never tried it out until today when my kids got out of school early and decide to try Crown Donuts. My 3 kids agree that donuts from this shop taste way more delicious than Round Rock and Shipley Donuts. The owner is really kind and nice!! We will come back here to try more donuts for sure!! Very nice, clean cute donut shop! Highly recommend!

Have you ever been to a place that made everything in absolute perfection? The glaze is like sugar glass, every pastry had the exact right texture in ways you think you?re in a professional pastry cafe, and the flavors are very good without being just a very sugary donut! They have a wide selection no matter what kind you like. Also, I have no idea what cinnamon they use, but it?s better than normal cinnamon, don?t know how, but it is!!!

Great reception , service and the donuts were delicious! Strongly recommend and will keep visiting.

Delicious variety of pastries and donuts! The taro rice donut is my favorite but I'll always come back for the fantastic service. The ladies who work there are so friendly and make the experience even better. Highly recommend.

I loved their boudain kolache! It was jumbo, delicate and tasty. My only criticism is to remove the casing before rolling the croissant around the boudain. My son loved the chocolate sprinkled ??. They were out of jumbo kolaches so we took 2 smaller ones. But this was a GREAT experience!??

Absolutely the best donuts and cutest shop we know! What most fills my heart about the business/owners, is the warm welcome and kind smiles they give everytime my family walks through the door. Love this place! ??

I will be loyal to this place until I die. The mochi donuts are to die for as well. They are so friendly, caring, and generous. They even give me extra from time to time, I will never leave!!!

Ladies are so so sweet and friendly. Donut holes are DIVINE. Bacon egg and cheese croissant made fresh to order every time. Much better and more homemade tasting than krispy kreme yet they are just as airy, melt in you mouth delicious. Can?t recommend them enough! EDIT: The mochi donuts are crazy good, don?t sleep on them

Best ham & cheese kolaches #1. Their blueberry donut holes are also wonderful. Chill , clean family atmosphere

I wish we'd given to this place sooner! These are some of the greatest donuts I've ever had. The staff was super friendly, and the prices can't be beat! 100% worth checking out!

I don't normally like donuts but these are the only donuts I'll eat. The mochi donuts are to die for and the kolaches and breakfast sandwiches are divine. Crown Donuts is an absolute treat!!!! And the owners are so sweet and friendly. Our favorite business in town for sure.

My favorite donut shop in NW Austin. The donuts are soft, delicious, and fresh. They fill them at the time of order, however you would like them. Kolaches and breakfast tacos are very good as well. The breakfast tacos have chives diced up and cooked in the egg, which adds a lot of flavor. The lady behind the counter is always super nice and usually gives a small bag of donut holes extra, for free. That's not unheard of, but a nice touch none the less. Highly recommended.

Great local donut shop with wonderful people who own the business and work there. Extremely kind people offering great donuts and fantastic kolaches and even some beverages if you so desire. My favorites are: Mochi donuts Jalapeno kolaches Cream/Jelly-filled donuts (made to order) Traditional and mini cinnamon rolls Cinnamon-sugar twists They have a good assortment of donuts of many varieties, chocolate w/sprinkles of course, for example, but generally I grab at least three of those listed five when I go

Legitimately superb donuts on a totally different level and about as good as it gets. Truly amazing. If all of Austin doesn?t yet know about this place, it has to be one of the best kept secrets in the entire city.

Best donut shop in Austin! I LOVE Crown Donuts. Their donuts are tasty and not super greasy like other donut shops. They have donuts, kolaches, and breakfast tacos. The staff is wonderful. For filled donuts, you pick your donut and then they fill it with your choice of 7 fillings. I like them so much that they?re the only donut shop I go to.

We went in 3 min before closing, and the patient owner lady still welcomed us! Even though donuts were not hot anymore by the time we got it, they still tasted amaaaazing!!! kolaches were tasty and huge too. It's a hidden gem in town

The best donut shop in Austin! The women working inside every day are so so friendly and kind! We look forward to seeing them every time we go in. We love the kolaches and mochi donuts.

The service and food quality is great here at Crown Donuts. I usually come in around afternoon time so I always have tempered expectations in terms of available donuts but they always exceed these expectations. The glazed donuts taste amazing and the kolaches are good (though I have minimal reference points for kolaches).

YUM! we usually go to the shipley's donuts that is near crown donut, but today we decided to try Crown...it was tasty. The kids loved the donut even the cake donuts. They were moist not at all crumbly. They just started offering breakfast tacos made with homemade tortillas. I tried the sausage egg and cheese it was very good. i usually am not a fan of sausage because of the spices, but they put the right ratio of egg, cheese and sausage that it was not over powering. YUM!!!!! we will be back!

They?re so nice and friendly. Also the mochi donuts are awesome, but if you?re too late they sell out.

Our favorite Sunday morning stop for jalapeno kolaches and donuts before church! The same friendly faces and friendly greeting every week and always a variety of sweet and savory goodies to choose from.

I love this place! Their kolaches are great, and their donuts taste so much better than all the chain donut joints. I bought a maple bar the other day and was asked if I wanted it freshly filled with cream, which was A+.

Kind and speedy services. Furthermore taste of all kind of donuts are wonderful. Recommended.

Nice nice people, good selection, my 3 stars is for taste. Cake doughnuts are dry as can be. The glaze they use is nothing special or exciting sadly Although they are very nice and if you go near closing expect some free nuts!

Got donuts here this morning. They gave me free donut holes. I haven't even tasted the donuts yet but the free donut holes are the best I've ever had. It may be gluttonous but I finished the bag off in less than 10 minutes.

This is the only donut shop I go to. I've forged a great connection with the wonderful lady who works the front, and they are always excited to see me. They really make me feel excited to spend money, because they treat me like they want it. Gratitude and smiling faces from the moment I walk in to the moment I walk out. Also, they give free donut holes for any fair sized order (I think it's supposed to be $10+ but sometimes I get it anyways.) If you show up after 12pm (they close at 1pm), donuts are half

The lady that works here is so nice! The donuts are delicious too. Highly recommend!

Wonderful friendly server. Gracious, kind and patient. Delicious donuts. I plan to be back to try the savory pastries. Blessings to you and your business.

Love their apple fritters. They make them the way fritters are supposed to be (ask that it be heated up). Not like Dunkin' Donuts where an apple fritter is just a filled donut with apple filling. Also, for filled donuts Crown injects your filling choice fresh when you purchase it rather than it sitting there for hours with the filling.

Love the food here!! The donuts are great, especially the filled ones--they fill them when you order. Breakfast tacos are awesome! Kolaches are great.

Lovvvveeeee bacon egg and cheese croissant. They never have them made but I don't mind waiting for fresh ones. Ladies are friendly and prices aren't bad. Great coffee!

CROWN DONUTS FTW! THANK YOU! I needed a 'gift' to bring to the local DMV office as I was having trouble renewing a drivers license. Two dozen donuts from the Fabulous Ladies at Crown donuts and I now have a fresh license! CROWN SAVED THE DAY!

I LOVE Crown donuts! I?ve gone here for years and it?s still my favorite place. The donuts and kolaches are delish! Plus, they give you donut holes ??

The are many great doughnuts made in Austin without question. If you were to consider looking at doughnuts as you do many other food groups like say steak. Many cuts of steak are great, Prime Rib, Prime Strip, Prime Filet, Prime Rib Eye, etc. Just like steak, doughnuts all have a little different bite, flavor, and feel to them which provide the consumer so many varieties and flavors... All Prime meats are by definition the best of that particular cut of meat with a few exceptions. In the case of Crown,

These are hands down my favorite doughnuts in Austin. There are 3 other doughnut shops within a short driving distance (Shipleys, Krispy Kreme and Ms. Doughnuts), but Crown are the best -- to me they taste just like the Southern Maid that I loved growing up.

I stopped by to try them and I was impressed with how soft the donuts were. Also, the sweetness was just right. Crown will be my go to spot for donuts from now on.

I checked Google before sending my husband for donuts and made sure they were open and it said they were. Nope! Closed on Tuesdays. What is with business owners not updating their hours online and wasting their customers time?

Wonderful homemade fresh donuts..family owned..they are soo sweet and we go almost every Sunday after church.they are great people.My favorite donut they make is a really chewy one made with special ingredients that they have on top shelf next to kolaches with coffee,matcha,green tea and a few other flavors of it..Must try it

Filled donut...with a jalape?o cheese dog? Um skeptical at first. Hot dog in the middle of a donut/roll. It looks like a "pig in a blanket" where I'm from. Which is also confusing. Well get over it because it's Surprisingly delicious. This is one of the few places/coffee shops open at 6 am in Lakeway. Filled donut and coffee for $3. Wish they had WiFi.

Mochi donut was excellent. I felt it was the best one I've had in USA. I just had a sugary one but will try all kind of later.

Blueberry cake donut was great! I even got some free donut holes with my dozen donuts! Great service! I will definitely go back.

Stopped by chance and I'm happy we did. The breakfast tacos were good and the don't were too. The staff was very friendly. We will stop again when traveling through Lufkin.

Great affordable donuts! The decor is fun for kids, essentially the tables. The jalape?o Kolache is spicy, which I love.

im obsessed with their boudin kolaches!! they are always warm, and fluffy, and the boudin has great flavor. delicious!!

The quality of the food there is top-tier and the service is amazing. Best part is, you don't have to pay a premium for such amazing kolaches and donuts.

Everything is always amazing and to top it off, the staff is incredibly kind and always goes above and beyond! I drive 30 minutes just to go here.

They have very delicious, fluffy donuts and the jalepeno kolaches actually have a kick. Nice little quick grab and go breakfast place.

If you want a small place with big taste come here. There breakfast food is awesome. Super busy early morning traffic but worth the wait but hurry the crossant sandwhiches are the best and the first to go!

Friendly and nice place.

The green donut is my favorite. It's actually flavored with green apple. The donut is so good, airy, but moist and so amazing. Buy all of the donuts!

The vibes here are immaculate. People who work here are always super sweet and everything is tasty and good value.

The kolaches and cake donuts have been great. Especially the sausage, jalapeno and cheese kolache and the blueberry cake donut.

The lade at the shop was very nice! Donuts are a bit soft, not too sweet.

They are the absolute nicest people I?ve ever met and their kolaches and donuts are also amazing!!!

Heat tasting donuts made by friendly neighborhood artisans. Their products are always a hit at our group.

Great donuts. My faves are the cinnamon and the chocolate cream filled

I love Crown Donuts! Their donuts, kolaches, and other breakfast items are always fresh-made and delicious (:

The Super sweet lady will take care of you! The kolaches are to die for and the donuts are great!! Buy it up!

You can taste the love used when making the donuts and kolaches. I will be back again and again.
