Customer Reviews

Excellent friendly service. Everything looks delicious! We got Vietnamese coffee & mocha frappe, croissant w sausage, kolaches and burrito. & they gave us donut holes ?? they were so scrumptious, soft and fluffy! Do yourself a favor and come to this place!

Quality has gone downhill on the kolaches since they changed management, more bread than anything. Prices went up but that?s normal. The donuts are still good tho I Guess.

My first time visiting this place . Everything looked fresh and delicious. I ordered a boudin kolache and was blessed to receive some donut holes. They were very good. I'll be going back again.

I love the new ownership, the food is way better than before. I typically order a SEC taco, croissant, or biscuit with white chocolate mocha (hot w/ extra syrup) or mocha frappe. Although the staff is friendly, my order is usually wrong or I don't get what I ask for.

Best brisket roll I ever have. Recommended, fresh made everyday (not preserved meat) the brisket is slow cooked in house. You gotta try this if you are in Houston.

I've been to quite a few doughnut places. It's difficult to find ones that have food, dessert and drink selections that really hit the spot. After trying this place over two years ago, everything else has simply paled in comparison. They have quite an extensive array of kolache flavors. Not quite as experimental as morning kolaches, but that's also what keeps it from being hit or miss. There's a tangy delight to their brisket kolache, a melange of spice to their budain, and buttery flakiness on their croiss

Love this place tacos are good so Is the ove coffee

I used to come here often but now I think it?s under new management and some items are ?made to order? the wait is long and the food isn?t good anymore. The cheese on the tacos tastes sour!!!

They seem super nice and super cute tiny store for the grand opening they are doing free donuts and kolaches for a week ????

This was our first time getting donuts in the eat end and to be honest this place was amazing! They are very sweet and welcoming?? we had a dozen donuts; they were fresh, yummy and my 4 year old ate all of it not just the chocolate part. He loved them ?????? the kolaches were great & the ham egg and cheese croissant as well . There vanilla iced coffee was also amazing ???? 5 starts hands down better than Shipley ?s . Nothing we got was stale ??????This is officially our donut place ?? Thanks again for the

This was my first time visiting and it was great! Most donut shops don?t have turkey substitute items but this place does. The service was welcoming, the food was fresh and flavorful. The caramel iced coffee wasn?t too bad. I like plant based milk in my coffee but other than that it was good.

Usually the food here is good. I ordered this time, and it arrived cold, with the bag soggy and torn. The food fell though. This was all despite the bag being tied shut.

The service here is excellent, and the people are very nice. My go-to is the Vietnamese coffee with glazed donuts. I like their sausage kolaches better than Shipley's.

Best chocolate glazed donut I have tried so far. Different types of kolaches were good as well. Will definitely be back for more.

Delicious caramel macchiato, Tasty brisket croissant comes with a side of bbq if you?d like to add it Sweet glazed donut was very puffy and sweet Wonderful customer service. Might come every Friday now ??????

Amazing place, my favorite donut stop. As with every donut place, the best stuff comes in the morning. The soft, warm donuts far exceed those of any chain place. Even if I let them get cold, they beat other places. The best Kolaches I?ve ever had, and they have unique ones I?ve never seen, and all of that are absolutely stellar. Their croissant sandwiches are out of this world. Everything is always hot. Also, they happen to not have something I wanted made yet, and the next best thing she offered and prepar

Best Thai Tea in Houston paired with SUPER FRESH donuts.

Honestly, if there is any bad reviews for this place it's probably just a Karen who feels entitled. Sometimes it's not about the food but the customer service the business provides. However, this business has the best of both worlds. Their menu is so good and the owners/employees here are some of the most kind and attentive people I have ever encountered. This location has had numerous business shut down and I'm writing this review because now that Dear Donut Man has taken over I hope it stays forever. Hone

My first time eating there - I got a regular glazed donut and a sausage and cheese kolache. Wow, I wish I had gotten a few more of those kolaches! Very delicious including the donut, and the man at the window was very friendly. I also tried their mocha iced coffee and it is soo much better than what I?ve gotten at Shipley?s and McDonald?s. I will definitely be going back for more!

I had seen people sharing this business as the new donut shop to go to. I personally am not a donut person, but I still wanted to check it out. First & foremost the customer service Andy provided was very welcoming and down to earth. Very clean establishment as well. I only regret getting only one kolache lol. I will definitely return and highly recommend!! Everything else looked so appetizing, so I know I'll be trying out more items. I went in to try the strawberry cream cheese croissant & brisket kolach

I am all about supporting a small business but not one that likes to scam it's own customers. Check your receipts especially if you go through the drive-thru. Previously I went there and order the same thing at every visit. One day I noticed that the lady over charged me so I ask a receipt. When I noticed she charge me for a different coffee than what I order and the donut price is different than what's label on the menu. This morning I went again and she tried over charge me again when I questioned her she

I can not say enough great things about Dear Donut Man! The people who work here are so kind and always very pleasant to be around. The donuts and kolaches are delicious! The dough is always so fluffy and tasty. Give this place a try and you won't regret it.

Gr8 Donuts and Gr8er Coffee drinks! Very nice to anyone who comes in for the first time and treat you like family. #DonutMansheretoSTAY

Great Kalaches. Good Doughnuts ??. Friendly service.

Brisket Kolaches and maple bacon donuts are the best! Great service!

They are so nice and sweet! Everything they make is delicious and have very creative pastries. I love getting my coffee here!

All I have to say is "Watch out Shipley's cause Dear Donut Man is in town!!" They have the BEST customer service, donuts and kolaches. They will help you out to your vehicle with your purchase. I love love love them! I don't stop at that other place anymore since they opened.

Very delicious. The woman that was working was friendly and helpful. This was my first time going, coworkers said try them out as they go there every morning. Glad I did.

Amazing family owned business. Customer service is always the best. Kolaches are better than Shipley's. Finally a business that will outlast everything else that was at this location

The kolaches and croissants are godly I feels like a angel fell in my mouth.The ice coffee is great.Drive trough employees are nice and never get the order wrong.What more could You ask from Mr.Donut himself!

Tried the brisket kolaches. Did not like them. Tasted bland. And a lot of fatty pieces inside. Ended up tossing the kolaches in the trash.

Had a job on this side of town and needed some good coffee, my mocha was so good.
