Reviews Summary

This donut shop receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with most reviews praising the delicious, fresh donuts and kolaches at reasonable prices. Many highlight the friendly staff and excellent customer service, including special accommodations for orders. The kolaches (especially boudin) and sprinkle donuts are frequently mentioned favorites. Some note limited variety or occasional shortages of popular items. While most reviews are 5-star, a few mention average kolaches or coffee quality. The convenient location near Baylor/downtown and good value compared to competitors are recurring positives. One critical review cited an inedible jalapeño cheese kolache, but this appears isolated amid widespread satisfaction.

Customer Reviews

Wonderfold donut shop impressed us by fulfilling our order within just 24 hours. We were in town for a tournament and called on Saturday for a Sunday pickup. Their birthday donuts are the cutest in town, and I highly recommend them!

I wanted some donuts for my son?s birthday party that would be yellow with sprinkles after calling a few places and being told no.. the friendly staff at Daylight offered to try and make some for me even though they didn?t offer yellow frosted donuts. They went above and beyond by messaging me photos of them sampling icing colors to make sure I was pleased with the outcome. Amazing customer service to say the least! We loved the donuts and will definitely be back!

Noticed a donut place at walking distance where I lived for the first time. The donuts were great. At a very reasonable price too. Bought 3 kolaches and 13 assorted/ filled donuts that came out around 25$, a lower price compared to a lot of chain donut places. They?re very soft and fluffy, almost like marshmallows. Definitely going back.

Doughnuts are fresh and my family loved them. We will be back for more. Thank you for your great customer service.

Their donuts and their kolaches are very good and at a lot better price than the other donut companies nearby. They even had a boudin kolache which the only make a few so you have to get there early. It was divine and very filling! I wish more people would give this place more business. I think if only one thing could be improved is I wish they had more of a large variety. And they make so few of the types of donuts they do have that they often don't have what you came in for. I know they're trying not to w

Great place to stop in the mornings! A little better value then the other local donut shops with some better quality! I would 100% recommend here if you are in the Baylor/Downtown area!

jalape?o cheese kolache was uneditable. Glazed donut was great!

Nice little donut shop. Kolaches were just alright, and the coffee was not very good. There are no coffee sizes between small and large
