Doughnut Theory

Doughnut Theory

Reviews Summary

Consensus: This donut shop is highly praised for its delicious, fluffy donuts with creative flavors (like strawberry cheesecake, blueberry, and maple pecan bourbon) and exceptional kolaches, especially boudin and jalapeño cheddar. The owners are friendly, service is quick, and the faith-based, welcoming atmosphere stands out. The triceratops statue adds fun. Many call it the best they’ve had, though one critic found donuts cakey and overpriced. Popular items sell out fast, so arriving early is advised. A must-visit in Broken Bow for families and travelers.

Customer Reviews

Passed this place on our way to our cabin in Broken Bow and decided to come back a couple of days later for breakfast?.and glad we did! These doughnuts and kolaches were some of the best we have had. Definitely a place all the locals frequent. The staff/owners were very friendly. The good stuff sells out fast so get there early. Would highly recommend for some great breakfast!

The boudin was spicy and very good. They added just enough spice for you to taste and not burn your mouth. Everything we had was awesome. The gal behind the counter was super nice. They do have coffee. Lots of parking across the street. There are a few tables and chairs inside to sit down.

Triceratops outside! Great chill atmosphere and sweet staff. Boudin rolls and cake donuts were great. No fancy coffee options but thats fine. Awesome place and fast service with great options.

We always make it a point to visit gourmet donut shops while traveling and this shop hit the spot in Broken Bow, OK. Conveniently located on your drive up to Beavers Bend State Park and Hochatown! A must stop shop! Place was cute and adorable. We were immediately greeted with warm welcome from the friendly owners/couple who made the experience fun and comfortable. Donuts are fresh , soft and moist with a variety of unique seasonal flavors to choose from and the Kolaches are the best we?ve ever had! Fresh,

My family and I are on vacation. We stumbled upon this cute donut area, and we absolutely 10/10 recommend. The donuts are absolutely delicious, with the yummiest dough, and so many different options on flavors! Highly addictive! I, appreciated the atmosphere so much. Very clean, and the lady was SO kind! Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

Doughnut Theory is a cute spot in Broken Bow offering fresh doughnuts and a fun vibe. When we stopped in, they had about 12 flavors available, though they were more classic than innovative compared to what?s shown on their website. The doughnuts were good but not outstanding, and prices felt a bit steep?a dozen plus one kolache cost $27. Overall, it?s a nice place for a sweet treat, but expect a simpler selection and higher prices than you might anticipate.

Amazing donuts! They had unique flavors and they were freshly baked. Absolutely delicious. Light and fluffy. I would recommend the kolaches too. We had the cheese one. DELICIOUS!

Doughnuts and hot breakfast items. Delicious...I had the strawberry cheesecake doughnut and a Cajun sausage roll. Both were very good. Small unique shop. Give it a try!

This is a must every time we visit broken bow. The donuts are incredible, fried to perfection and the best selection of flavors. Tried the new maple pecan bourbon and loved it! Other favorites are the blueberry and strawberry! The owners are very friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming!

Great people & great atmosphere. The strawberry cheesecake doughnut was amazing! God bless!

Great kolaches, boutique doughnuts, and a patient lady behind the counter. We had an order for 7 people to try and figure out, but she was kind as we figured it out. She looked really stressed out, and she had what looked like her oldest daughter helping her out while the younger two girls played on a table in the corner. It felt like a loving little family owned spot. The food was delicious. Also, as a Texan, it?s not common to find kolaches outside of Texas.

My husband is doughnut obsessed so whenever we vacation we try to find at least one local spot to hit. Man do these ones deliver. We got one of each flavor and an Apple Fritter. First brownie point? Fantastic atmosphere and the owner is super friendly! Second brownie point? The giant triceratops outside, definitely got a photo for my Dino obsessed bestie. Last and definitely not least - the amazing doughnuts and kolache?s! The kolaches have perfect dough to meat ratio! The doughnuts are fantastic! The toppi

We stopped by on our way out and loved it. The donuts are good and kolaches were awesome. Great flavor and selection.

Took my kids here on a Saturday morning and it was great. The owners are very nice and chatted with us a while about the area. We'll definitely come back on our next trip to Broken Bow.

The owner was nice. I recommend the fruity pebble donut. They have coffee available for purchase. There is a triceratops statue outside that provides a neat photograph opportunity.

So good! We stopped on our way home at the end of our vacation and it was so worth it! They have about 12 donut flavors at a time and a large cinnamon roll. The donuts are more like a cake donut. Yummmm!! We got the cappuccino donut and blueberry donut with a LARGE cinnamon roll for under $7.

We came here on vacation. I have two kids that have never liked donuts. This is the first donut shop where every one of my six kids liked their donuts. Every one we tried was excellent. Incredibly friendly service and the kids all wanted a picture with the triceratops out front. You should get here early though if you want an apple fritter. They go FAST.

The owner is such a sweet woman, and the doughnuts come in so many fun flavors. We tried the cookies and cream, the strawberry cheesecake, the apple fritter, and the alligator sausage roll. The only thing that wasn't AMAZING was my apple fritter, which was super tasty but kind of dry/chewy. However, when I told the owner, she ended up giving me my strawberry cheesecake doughnut on the house. She was very kind, and the 2nd one definitely hit the spot. My husband loved his doughnut and sausage roll. I think t

Great place for a one off donut. The smoked sausage kolache was good as well. One of the best donut shops I've been to. My amateur photos don't do it justice.

Such a cute local place. Cake donuts were delicious and very light in texture. Great and friendly service. Lots of little bistro tables inside and outdoor seating as well. Very cozy set up.

Delicious all around! The donuts themselves are cake donuts instead of a traditional donut, but they were perfect consistency with a great balance of flavor. The 1/2 lbs jalapeno cheddar kolaches were fantastic, a bit spicier than I was expecting, but would definitely get them again. Really nice folks running the place, so we'll certainly make a point to stop in again.

Outstanding menu, donuts are top quality. Service is excellent. Even took pics with the dinosaur in the front of the bldg. Recommend this place to anyone who wants donuts and kolachies.

Came in on a nice rainy morning and they were almost completely wiped out. We got a dozen ?? that were super delicious. Leave it to my son to ask for a ?? they have never made! Blueberry with chocolate on top. The owners were impressed. ??

Came through for a mini vacation and figured we would pop in for a treat. Was greeted with a smile. I got the apple fritter, which was amazing. I let my wife try a bite and almost lost the rest of it because she loved it as well. The misses got the cinnamon sugar cake donut, and it was moist and delicious. Will definitely be stopping back by on our way back through for additional treats. Take the time to pet the triceratops on the way in, by the way. Super nice but not really good at playing fetch.

We preordered the night before very quick response from the owner which was awesome! Donuts were very good and the kolaches were our favorite!

The kolache I had was amazing, the lady,?unfortunately I didn?t catch her name, helping us was very lovely. The atmosphere was very family friendly and there is a cool triceratops statue out front!

The strawberry cheesecake donut was absolutely to die for, the sausage egg & cheese dog was also extremely amazing. Great place, great service, great food, highly recommend

Driving along the road, I was immediately captivated by an eye-catching large triceratops statue outside a shop with the intriguing name 'Doughnut Theory.' Intrigued, I decided to stop and explore. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly their strawberry cheesecake doughnut. This delightful confection was not only visually appealing but also a taste sensation. The flavor perfectly balanced the tartness of strawberries with the rich creaminess of cheesecake, all encased in a soft, pillowy doughnut. I als

Lovely stop! Warm welcome from Texas! Get a half dozen of these unique flavors!

Stopped in this gem on the way from our weekend vacation! donuts were fresh and flavorful and inside was cute! Our favorite had to be the kolache?s!

Great food and friendly service! We had the cookies and cream doughnut, smoked jalape?o cheddar kolaches. Loved it!

I picked the cappuccino donut and the cookies and creme donut. Both tasted exactly the same. They taste like a soft cake donut. What?s the point in putting different toppings and making them look fancy if they are all gonna taste the same?

Doughnuts are so FUN, they are kind of a mix between a cake and yeast!! Super fun flavors! The kolaches are so good, like crave worthy ??

A cutesy little place, with a fun dinosaur statue out front. They have some radical ones, like the fruity pebbles donut, and classics like maple. Get here early before they run out/close at 1!

What a special treat! Our family of five LOVED the donuts at Doughnut Theory. Not only were the flavors so tasty, the sweet woman helping us was so kind to our kiddos. We definitely recommend a visit (or three!).

Great cake donuts, ham & cheese kolache was great too. A little expensive for doughnut shop but worth trying! Nice people, cute name and exterior is adorable.

Wonderful local donut shop! Owners are very friendly and the food was fantastic! Loved the ?designer? donut options!

Best kolaches I've EVER had, and it's not close. Try them for yourself... you won't be disappointed.

Some of the best donuts I've ever had! Fresh, not too sweet or greasy. They had a good selection and unique flavors. (The blueberry pancake was my favorite, with the strawberry cheesecake at a close second.) I would definitely recommend! Plus, the big triceratops out front adds a super fun element.

Some of the best donuts that we?ve had! The price was great, 60 plus flavor variety, and the owners were super sweet! The doughnuts were dense but the texture was fluffy which made them light. We tried the blueberry cheesecake and the strawberry shortcake. The flavor of each donut was amazing. Great flavor and texture for each. It?s obvious that the owners take time to perfect each one. We are looking forward to our next trip out so we can try more flavors.

Nice locally owned spot with awesome owners. Really appreciated that they have boudin balls, and they were pretty tasy! Great place to stop on our way out of town.

We were on a spring break trip to Broken Bow and decided to stop here before we left town. The staff was so kind and the donuts were soooo good. I had a lemon and a strawberry cheesecake. I would definitely recommend! Loved the dinosaur statue in the front as well :)

Found this place on our way home from Hochatown. Best doughnuts and kolaches I've ever had. The staff are very kind and genuine people. Will be back on our next trip. Look for the big Triceratop infront of the pink and white building!!

Delicious cake donuts of all flavors. We came at 10:30 and there were still many to choose from. Service was fantastic and genuine! You gotta check it out!!

Great find if you are staying in Broken Bow. Kinda disappointed I only caught this place leaving my trip. Highly recommend the jalape?o cheddar kolache! The donuts were all really delicious!

I don't ever do reviews and I am not a huge doughnut fan but these doughnuts were so light and fluffy and delicious! They didn't leave a film in your mouth like most doughnuts do. We went here around 11 am this past Sunday and the only complaint is that we should have gone there earlier as they were sold out of a few items. We will definitely be going back the next time we are in town. Staff were very friendly as well!! Keep up the great work!!!

Wow is all I can say about these donuts and kolaches? Literally everything was so good and the texture of the donuts were so light and fluffy. I would definitely say to get there early because we went at 10 am on a Sunday and they were almost sold out and by the time we were leaving there was a line to the door! They are definitely worth waking up early to get though!!

Omg, do not leave town without trying these donuts. Literally the BEST donuts I?ve ever tasted (and I?ve traveled many places and tasted many donuts). Loved that it?s a family owned and faith based business. May God bless their business with even more growth and success because it is well deserved.

Best apple fritter I?ve had in years!

Great donuts and kolache?s! Great service! Highly recommend!! We love the dinosaur out front.

Delicious little donut shop with outdoor seating, friendly staff, and a triceratops statue. Donuts were delicious and they also did coffee. Only downside is I don?t live near enough to Broken Bow to come here regularly!

Omgoodness this was a cozy cute donut shop. Owners were absolutely the most welcoming, friendly and a great couple. The donuts and kolaches were delicious.

This is a must stop when leaving town! Extremely good donuts! The strawberry had real strawberry?s mixed into the batter. The kolaches are amazing! I got the alligator just to try it, but was surprised how good it was and ate the entire thing!

We had about a dozen different flavors. Blueberry voted best. Strawberry cinnamon roll came in second. Regular cinnamon roll probably better but they were out. Regular glazed and maple had a ?wang? flavor that was not pleasant. Kolaches were wrapped cheese hot dogs. Probably won?t return.

We were in town for a few days and swung by as we were leaving town. It was a great decision! The donuts and sausage rolls were delicious. The atmosphere was so welcoming! We'll definitely be back next time we're in town!

Great place for doughnuts in Broken Bow. We tried a little of everything and it was all very good. You can?t go wrong here.

Holy moly! Absolutely the best donut I have ever had! They have unique flavors such as Maple Syrup Bacon, Girl Scout Cookie, and BlueBerry pancake. The kolaches were also top notch. If I lived near this donut shop, I?d weigh 400 lbs. Owners were super nice too!

Such a cute spot! The donuts were DELICIOUS! & the staff was incredibly friendly. The variety of fun flavors was a hit for our family. We will definitely be back!

Some of the best doughnuts and kolaches I?ve ever eaten. The doughnuts were light and fluffy cake doughnuts and the kolaches were amazing bread and seasonings! Given with a smile and Jesus atmosphere! And the triceratops is a definite plus to the experience!

Best donuts I?ve ever had. Not too sweet, amazing flavor and so soft!! The lady was so genuine and sweet. Give this place a try!

Outstanding! Well developed flavor profiles, soft donuts, great boudins! Will come back!

So yummy. Fun flavors. Friendly staff. Next time we are in town, we will definitely be stopping by again. The strawberry glaze and the blueberry cheesecake were delish. Both donuts were soft, fresh, and not too sweet.

The donuts we got were excellent! The owner was also very friendly. If you are in town when they are open I would recommend picking some up.

I went in last week, and it was kinda late in the morning, so most of the donuts were gone, so I bought some of the best kollachi I've ever had. The guy and gal behind the counter were super friendly and helpful (even after I said i was from dallas) ??. I'll definitely be going back!

Donuts are really good, a light cakey texture with many different good flavors!

Fantastic donuts !! Very kind and helpful owner and a great atmosphere! Be sure to stop here when you are in Broken Bow...you will not be disappointed!

Maaaaannnnn!! The food here was definitely off the chain!! Got the half pound link and it was the tastiest pig Ive had. The boudin was better than any other place Ive tried. I'll be coming back here in the future.

Just stopped by and the cinnamon rolls are AHMAZING!!! Cute shop! 10/10 Recommend

We stopped by Doughnut Theory this morning and truly could not have asked for a better experience. Family run (great to meet you Paul and Elora *sorry if I spelled your name wrong) and quite possibly the nicest people you?ll meet! The donuts are incredible!! Quality product and ridiculously tasty. We?re so grateful for all of the amazing people that make Broken Bow/Hochatown a special place and this family is certainly one of them. This is a must stop for anyone and everyone.

Found this cute little shop while visiting Broken Bow from Texas. The donuts were AMAZING and the kolaches were awesome as well! Super friendly couple running the shop made it even better! 10 out of 10 recommend!!!

I love the dinosaur outside, the Jalape?o and Cheddar and Smoked Kolaches are delicious. We stopped by a second time before leaving town. Donuts were good also! Staff was very friendly.

Great small town Donut Shop. No coffee except k-cups. Staff were super friendly and fun people. Great Cinnamon rolls and fritters.

The best Doughnuts I have ever had. They have so many different flavors to choose from. The Boudin kolaches are a must try! The owners are very kind and you can tell they put in a lot of work to make this place so great!

Stopped in before we left back home from our trip and their donuts and kolaches are amazing! They have plenty of flavors to choose from and the staff are very friendly. Definitely will stop by again when we're back in town!

Excellent place - we stopped in while visiting the area. I am usually not a fan of cake donuts but they were so fresh and yummy. We tried the cookies & cream, glazed, and an apple fritter!

The best doughnuts in Oklahoma!!! Had a great experience and great food the smoked sausage dogs are ?? We stayed in Oklahoma 4 days and came here twice. We will definitely be coming back again. I want the hamburger hot pocket next time. So many doughnuts to choose from. If you don't go to this place while in Oklahoma you missed out. See yall again from the MOJO BOXING ?? family ??

Amazing food, Quick service, and the owners seem like good folk! Great morning stop

Such a cute shop! The kids loved the Dino out front and the S?mores donuts. The boudin balls and cinnamon rolls were delicious too. We?ll definitely be back next time we?re in town.

Great dogs, the jalape?o was just the right amount of spice??

The boudin and smoked sausage kolaches are the real deal bomb diggity! Their frosted and topped donuts are delicious and different. Maple pecan is my favorite. Also love their chocolate glaze, which darker and more chocolatey than other regular donut shops. All the donuts are a cake based donut. So don't go there expecting apple fritters and jelly filled. That said, this is a wonderful, clean, friendly, family owned and operated business that is a real treasure in our community.

Best sausage rolls I have ever had. Highly recommend!! Service was excellent as well!

The donuts are amazing!! We were a large group and tried everything. They were out of some donuts but quickly made them for us. Will return when in town.

A very busy place for a reason! Great flavors

These old-fashioned donuts are so YUMMY! We tried the maple bacon, lemon, and chocolate and they were all amazing. Friendly staff and cute shop. We will definitely be back!

These are some great donuts! All cake donuts that are moist and dense with lots of fun flavors. I got a Snickers and a Berry cheesecake. Stop here and get donuts if you're in Broken Bow. And take a picture with the dinosaur out front!

Incredibly unique and delicious doughnuts. We used Doughnut Theory for our wedding and they were amazing! Easy to work with, prompt and responsive, and delivered exactly what we requested in taste and presentation. Completely satisfied with Doughnut Theory!

Donuts were cakey and lacking flavor. Kolaches were good but everything was a bit overpriced ($2 per donut)

This place was a perfect hidden donut shop. Amazing prices, and a really hospitable owner. She ended up giving my friend a free coffee because he forgot to ask for one when he was buying his food.
