Customer Reviews

Freakin delicious! I got a boudin kolache thing and a coke for 5 bucks. Can?t beat that. Best shop in town

Food 4/5: Jalape?o sausage roll BEST IVE EVERY HAD. Glazed donut nor my style, but not to say it?s bad. It?s a bit dense and vanilla-y.

This is mine and my husbands favorite place to get Kolaches & Breakfast Biscuits. I also took some to share at work and they were a hit. The staff is always helpful and friendly. There's only 2 tables inside so don't plan on eating there with the family haha

We ordered several dozen red & yellow donuts for a six year old's Pokemon birthday party, and they were great! Kids and adults loved them. Ordering and pick-up was straightforward and easy. We'll definitely be back.

I've been patronizing Donut Crown for years and can honestly say they treat people very respectfully. I've been there many times with small children excitedly looking at the multi-colored donuts, having a terrible time deciding, and the employees showing no sign of frustration. You can get everything from cake donuts, yeast donuts, cinnamon rolls, and kolaches here. They also sell bags of donut holes. Donuts aren't overly sweet, and are always fresh. It's also very affordable: I walked out with two donu

My favorite (non-mochi) donuts on Austin. Always fresh, reasonably priced and delicious. I only wish the stayed open later so I could indulge for dessert, too.

The donuts are good I will give them that, but the service is such a mess. The signage on the donuts is confusing, because there is a variety of items behind one sign for instance eclairs. One sign says Chocolate eclair, but there are two different kinds behind the sign. When you ask the girl that works there what is the difference, she is super snappy. "One is maple, obviously, simple." was the exact reply we got when we inquired about the difference. They have signs that just say old fashioned but 4 diffe

100 percent the best glazed donuts in Austin. It is simple, fluffy, doughy, just the right amount of glaze and cooked in clean oil so it is not greasy. I have tried every donut over a 4.0 rating in Austin. Most are overrated. The sausage rolls are not bad either, and the atmosphere and service are fine, but if you are looking for a really good simple donut this is the spot!

Great customer service. Quick stop donut shop. Good selection and good prices.

My new go-to doughnut place! Everything was delicious and the staff was super nice!

What a pleasant surprise! My husband and I couldn't get enough! We had the chocolate cake, eclair, and the apple fritter! We cannot decided which one was our favorite because we ate them too fast! We will definitely be back to try the coffee!

The cinnamon sugar crumble was one of the best donuts I've had, and they gave us a free glazed at checkout. That's a top tier donut experience right there.

This friendly little donut shop is amazing and the store owner is very welcoming. Donuts are best you have tasted try the old fashioned glazed with the cinammon infused. So yum!

The Shipleys in this town are awful compared to the rest of central Texas, so I prefer the mom and pop type shops in Austin. Found this gem on one of the delivery apps and decided to go in person due to a long delivery wait. Place was very clean and most importantly, it SMELLED like a donut shop (which is surprisingly hard to come by). My only complaint was that the donuts were charged individually instead of just half dozen mixed (which they even advertise) so I ended up paying $25 for 8 donuts, two small

These donuts will rock your socks off. It?s family-owned and the staff is always great and patient with my 4 year old daughter. She also loves this place!

Donut Crown has hands down the best Kolaches that I?ve had in Austin. You could go to Shipleys or Lone Star Kolaches right up the road, but you?d pay more for an inferior product. Plus, this is the only spot I?ve found in Austin that has Boudin Kolaches! Solid ones too. Bonus points from a Louisiana guy. Great staff, great bites.

I have been going to this place for years and have always been pleased to see my favorites are available. I used to live nearby and I go to church right down the road making this place an easy stop when I'm in a hurry. The coffee is just perfect for me and the blueberry donuts are heavenly! I always enjoy the different kolaches and the donuts with maple icing are a great sugar rush. I highly recommend shopping this local favorite! Just go! Note: seating is limited but usually there is an open table.

Crown Donuts is a great place! The employees were very nice and helped us with whatever we needed. The donuts were deliciously amazing! They were soft, fresh, and because we came in 7 minutes before closing, they added a few donut holes for free!

These donuts were truly divine. The texture is amazing, so light and fluffy. Great flavor without being too over the top sweet. The shop owner was lovely and very kind. Can?t wait to go back!

OMG! My sister kept telling me to try this place that their breakfast sandwiches and donuts were top notch! Where has this place been all my life!? Holly cow! I had their croissant breakfast sandwich. That was soooooooooooo yummy! I also brought a dozen donuts for the guys at my office. WOW! Those were excellent! They were fresh, yummy and still warm. I'm so going back there for more. I wish I had tried them sooner!

Kolaches are old. The sausage is old. A fresh sausage should not look old, wrinkled and hard at the ends. I know I used to work at a doughnut shop as head cook.

Best donuts in town! We have been coming here for over 10 years. We?ve tried other donut shops in town and none can compare to the Crown :) Be sure to try the apple fritter - you won?t regret it! My daughter says she is so happy it?s here.

Their donuts are nothing special. And I went in a Saturday at 10am and they were almost completely out of donuts. Most of their flavors were gone. I asked if they were making more and they said ?no?. The atmosphere is very basic. They need to try a little harder or they?re going to lose that crown.

Incredibly nice employees - so patient with my toddler while he?s choosing which sprinkles he wants. Delicious, fresh donuts at amazing prices. We love the old fashioneds and the fritters!

Small, but loaded with great variety of goodies. I especially like their apple fritters, sausage kolaches, breakfast sandwiches and good fresh hot coffee.

Staff was friendly enough, so I left a $5 tip on $15 worth of donuts, and I wish I'd just went nextdoor to McDonald's in the first place. Bought a dozen mixed and a apple fritter gave 3 / 13 a try , all were stale, at least a day Old, not exactly what I had in mind, it was before 6 am, not like they were out or had the opportunity to sit all day. They weren't even room temperature , they were literally cold. Threw them in the dumpster where they belonged. Will never visit again.

Best donuts EVER! They last 2 days or more without losing soft, fluffyness. Not overly sweet or engulfed in icing. The vanilla, frosted coconut, maple, and blue raspberry are my favorite. I wish they were open all day.

Best donuts in the area IMHO... I always try to find SOME excuse to stop by before they shut the doors (usually around 1 PM). Top choices are the blueberry cake donuts and their regular glazed. I challenge you not to eat them in your car before you even get to the donuts' intended destination!

Sausage and cheese jalapeno croissant and old fashioned cake donut were good.

The owner is a very nice hard working person, and the kolaches are always delicious.

They have really good sausage jalape?o cheese kolaches. I start every morning with two kolaches and an apple fritter. I have never had an apple fritter so good, it's like they took and amazing funnel cake and added some apples. Perfect. They also have cherry and banana fritters, both really good. Great donuts and a good price. Very friendly and welcoming to someone that's there almost every morning.

Really good! I came in about 10 min before closing and they still had a great selection to pick from. The chocolate donut was delicious.

Want to give a shoutout to this donut Place. Made fresh every morning and know how to make great sweet donuts and Kolaches are amazing. Come support this great business ??!!

Roaches and bugs crawling around the table by the wall . I don?t care for any attention , I just want the public to be aware that this place needs cleaning and fumigation.

Go-to donut shop. Quality donuts and staff. Top tier apple fritters and kolaches.

Apple fritters, kolaches, and breakfast biscuits are all delicious. Donuts are pretty good and they always have a very friendly staff. Highly recommend

Good donuts. Convenient location. I hate paying that much for donuts but I guess they?re less pricey than their competitors. I recommend it if you like fresh donuts and croissants.

Drive bye did a u-turn and it was a great idea. I ordered a variety and every one was great. I like orderering from a Sam local shop. Great cinnamon rolls. Everything was great

This place reminded me of another donut place just like this one when I went to elementary school. I really enjoyed the kolaches they are really good.

Service is so kind and the donuts are delicious. The classic donut experience. Also the Kolaches are So Good.

This place has been here for a while. Great donuts. I recommend the cinnamon twists, if you can get there early enough to grab one! :)

The Kolaches are soft and tasty.

Amazing kolaches and donuts! Came here 3 days in a row while visiting Austin. Small mom-and-pop shop.

Donuts were okay. They should be embarrassed by the kolaches. Really gross and greasy. Not in a good way. Prices affordable. Skip it.

The kolaches here are really good but everything else was pretty much terrible. Stay away from the breakfast tacos for sure. Definitely better options in the area.

Always fresh. Always friendly. Best local donut shop EVER!

A classic favorite in the neighborhood ??

This place is the BEST! Donuts are amazing and so is the staff, always.

Good neighborhood spot. You won't go wrong with the blueberry cake donut with or without glaze.

I've been on a hunt for good apple fritters in Austin, and Donut Crown's are the best.

Glad to have found them. Great doughnuts and croissants. I'll be back. Thanks for being open!

The donuts are decent, but the boudin kolache's are where it's at.

Good doughnuts. The best I have had in Austin. Give them a try.
