The MOST delicious blueberry cake donut and maple old fashion donut I've ever had... and I've eaten so many donuts throughout my life ??. Our family also tried the kolaches, oreo , chocolate chip with sprinkles, chocolate old fashion, and classic donuts ?? and they LOVED them all ??. The place has plenty of parking spaces, several tables (normal size and counter height), very clean, and kid friendly. The staff is super nice and welcoming. If you visit Nacogdoches or are in the area, stop by and enjoy t
No filled donuts @5am, coffee cup.too small for$1.75 plus tax! When the door opens;be ready to fill the orders BBB ?? guarantee. Staff dry mellow tone as a fill in for regular staff! Traveling to Houston and remembered the donut shop we normally pass when going towards Shreveport! 1/2 doz donuts were delicious and fresh ?? spot on!
Shockingly great small sausage kolaches!!! Quick and friendly service, too.
A family business! Great service, super soft donuts, fresh, and delicious croissants!
Fresh hot, selection of drinks, quick friendly service. Drive thru for quick breakfast.
I recently visited Empire Donuts in Nacogdoches, TX, and I was blown away by the quality of their donuts and the fantastic service provided. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made my visit enjoyable. The donuts at Empire Donuts are simply delicious! Freshly made, flavorful, and with a variety of creative options to choose from, it's clear that they take great pride in their craft. Whether you're a fan of classic flavors or looking to try something new, Empi
What a great value - 2 B/E/C biscuits, 2 blueberry doughnuts, 1 medium coffee for $10+change. Biscuits were B+, doughnuts (YUM) & Community Coffee (YUM) were A. 2 employees were over-the-top friendly and helpful; one had even been there since midnight, was way past end of shift, but he still had a smile and treated us like his first customer of the morning.
Our favorite donut shop! Always super friendly. Love the kolaches.
Outstanding donuts. The best I've had in Texas. Light, flaky, excellent flavor.
I have been to a lot of donut shops in my life, but Empire Donut has the freshest donuts I?ve ever had. My favorites are the blueberry donut and the maple donut. The service is excellent with the friendliest staff, and the shop is immaculate! I challenge you to try to find something there that will not become your absolute favorite!
I should have written this review 2 years ago honestly! This shop has the best owners and employees! They are always so nice to me and my boys and go above and beyond if we have a "special order" or a difficult order. Really clean place, always stocked and just a great place for breakfast or a treat! Best burritos and homemade SALSA! Love them!
We ordered some Happy Birthday shaped donuts and a dinosaur shaped donut for my daughters birthday. They turned out amazing and tasted great too! Great prices and friendly service.
Love the fast drive thru service and the young lady is always friendly. I just don't understand them putting a chocolate glazed donut with a cinnamon roll in the same bag. Seriously chocolate and cinnamon don't go well together.
Hate to give this review because they are so good during the day but whoever the lady is that runs the drive thru during the midnight-early morning is just incompetent. Multiple times she's not given us items of our order and then not tell then incoming shift about the mishap. Sorry to say but definitely check your order with this place
Best donuts in town, and that's saying something since we have more donut shops than gas stations! Renfro kolaches, black tie donuts, and cinnamon sugar donut holes are amazing! I'd never been served fresh, hot donuts anywhere before, and I'm spoiled now!
Great place to get breakfast food is always good. People working there are friendly but always seem busy and in a hurry even when there's no one there. Donuts here are also really good.
Wonderful donuts and sandwiches. The staff was very nice... we were passing through from Houston!
The guy who works behind the counter- mexican asian- whatever race he is- he is SO RUDE!!! I get so SICK & TIRED of his sassy attitude everytime!!! Aint nobody ask for all that!!! Does he HATE his job??? Well. Should have went to college then!!! This donut shop is extremely close to my house but NO THANK YOU!!! I'll gladly drive the extra few miles down Stallings to get the GREAT service!!! Do NOT go here!!!
No one was behind the counter once I got there. Overall though it was a straight place and the donuts were fresh.
The employees are so nice they treat everybody so sweetly and great donuts!!
Great people, quick breakfast!
But the ?clairs tasted like they was a little raw.
The staff is amazing and the donuts are the best, they really put me in a positive mood when i enter the door!!!!!
Did not get to do business with this particular place. Was early on a Saturday morning and they were super busy. Sat in drive-thru line for a bit over 10 minutes and had to leave due to time frame issues.
They do a great job. The staff is excellent. Good donuts and kolaches.
They always have a great selection! I've never been to another donut shop in Nacogdoches that offers seasonal donuts!
The lady broke my donut but gave her bout 2 and sun change
Update... The staff is much friendly. They even go the extra step to make you what you want. Original post... Staff isn't very friendly. Very slow service.
Their breakfast sandwiches and kolaches (boudin & renfros) are way bigger & better than any other donut places in town
Right up there with donut palace..I don't think I could distinguish between the two bc they are both really good.. friendly staff and the place is very clean
They should be the only.place to serve donuts 24/7. I love them
We enjoyed their donuts. Taste and texture are fantastic
