Customer Reviews

They are the kindest people in town and their donuts & food products are always fresh, and drink choices are wide and good.

The owners are just the sweetest, and this place was an amazing breakfast option while I was attending uni nearby! I became a regular at the time and was always remembered when I went. Not to mention the BEST donuts and kolaches I've ever had!

Great donuts but the mini kolaches were different. Tasted dry and almost hard. First time but we're not good. Very friendly and great donuts and kolaches!!!!! My favorite donuts in town and u can get them Warm!!!!!

Absolutely love this place!!!! Been coming here for awhile now, love the variety especially my favorite doughnut the Lemon Blueberry

I love this place! when i first moved to Huntsville I wanted a place that sold croissant sandwiches and not just kolaches as they are my favorite! The service here is so kind and after a while they start to recognize you which makes you feel very welcome, I love this place and it?s always my go to stop for breakfast!

DELICIOUS!!!! Croissant was great, donut holes great, mini cinnamon roll great & lemon blueberry donut was amazing. Lemon blueberry donut was even more amazing with crumbled bacon on top....

Best place in huntsville! They take pride in the appearance and flavor of their product! My wife will only eat doughnuts from them. I got a dozen regular, 2 kolatches, 3 pigs in a blanket, and 2 energy drinks for around 25. The family will be eating on them for the next several days! Worth it!

Best donuts in Huntsville! They are actually fresh and top quality. Recently tried donut wheel and mayflower and at 5am they were cool. They were not fresh. They tasted like grocery store donuts. In contrast, Freshly donuts are clearly made early in the morning. You can see the difference just walking in the door. The donuts look fresh and taste light and moist as they should be. Fresno is as good a donut as you?ll get! Well done!

Great filled donuts. The maple glazed with Bavarian cream was delicious! Only issue was a little mishap where one of the donuts didn't get filled with anything and another got filled with both chocolate and lemon. Haha. Wasn't that big of a deal. The food was delicious and the store clean!

Stopped on my way to Oklahoma and definitely worth the extra mile off the freeway. Great service and different than most don't shops.. had these lil pigs in a blanket that were awesome! The prices are great too!

This is my new go-to donut place in town. I live down the street from this place for almost a year and recently just started going and I am mad at myself that I haven't been going there all along. Are kolaches are better, their biscuits are better, and their croissants are awesome. And their donuts are on point, and the owners/employees are very personable and great to talk to.

Expected to find more "fancy" donuts. The variety wasn't great but the staff was amazing. Very friendly. Filled donuts get filled when you order so thats new to me. The donuts were fresh, not a bad place for regular donuts but I was looking for more options which is the reason for 4 stars only. The name suggests something different than what you fill actually find

Service is worth 5 stars, he gave us samples and was really friendly. Their donuts were cake-like to me, which i dont personally like, but they have a lot of options and if you want a different style donut, the guy will make it. Update: I have gone back to this place twice since my previous review and I just don't like the flavors of any of their donuts. The chocolate donut was really bitter and has a tarty glaze underneath and their regular glaze donuts are tarty as well, not sweet like I believe a donut

Stopped by this place (since I had skipped breakfast ) while I was walking back to my apartment from Firestone and they are amazing! The couple that runs the place are a funny pair and are super nice! The food there is very tasty, I had bought a spicy kolache and chocolate donut; it was the best! Definitely have been telling my friends about this place and I will returning there again for some more food!

The sausage, egg, and cheese burrito with fresh salsa was delicious! I also had a lemon-blueberry glazed donut and I can't stop thinking about it. The owners were super nice too. I can't wait to come back.

I was in Huntsville for work and I was looking for a shipleys but i came across this place. I?m glad I came here instead of shipleys! The kolaches were warm and soft with a good flavor. And the chocolate cake doughnut was very good. The lady working at the counter was very nice and actually said hello to me when I walked in! (unfortunately that seems to be going out of style in the US)

Utterly delicious! I like to judge my donut shops based on their plain glazed and maybe a kolache and this place by far has been one of my faves. Idk what it is they add but something hit a weird nostalgia and i loved it! Will certainly be returning for one of their boudain kolaches (ive never heard of such a thing!) or fun donuts, but would 100% recommend their simple glazed!

Went there on a whim and was amazed at their donuts. The owner is super nice, and friendly. Service is GREAT. They have some of the best donuts I've had around here. It's also so nice to support small businesses around here.

Absolute gym of Huntsville! Not only do I recommend you try Fancy Donuts. I recommend you never buy donuts anywhere else ever again! The food is great and the people and even greater! Full disclosure, u am just a normal customer. I don't know anyone who works there outside buying donuts for my family on the weekends.

The owners are the nicest people and the food is all so good. The bread has a very good flavor to it. They make special glazed for the donuts and the flavors sometimes change. I?ve had the blueberry lemon glaze and I loved it. They also had Matcha glaze but I didn?t get a chance to try it. If you try the kolaches you won?t be disappointed, I could eat the bread alone and I?d be happy. They have the regular sausage kolaches but also boudain kolaches to eat. I recommend both.

The filled donuts were great and the fruit Kolaches were awesome. I got there late. It was my first visit but they are now my go to donut place in Huntsville. I think I've tried them all.

This place is great! Little details make a difference in a donut shop. "Kolaches" are better than most around and they have a good selection of different kinds. All good. They have the normal small sausage and then they have bigger sausage ones that will fill you up. They also have great boudain ones. Good bread to sausage ratio. Donuts are great and really do have some fancy flavors. The lemon blueberry one I thought would be too sweet.. no, it is amazing. So many choices! Staff are always happy and tal

Don't normally review, but felt the need in order to support a good local business. Didn't have the donuts, but they looked particularly good. Instead, I prefer kolaches being not from Texas as they have a certain flair of novelty for a Friday breakfast. Anyway, I've been to every kolache place between Spring, Huntsville, and College Station and the jalapeno-cheese at this joint was the single best that I've had. Sausage breakfast taco was tasty as well. Highly recommend to anyone, and to engage the ve

They are so friendly and inviting. I am happy with the food and service Everytime. The frosting on their donuts are the most flavorful and delicious. Everything is fresh every day. I would never get donuts anywhere else. ??

I love this place! Their food is delicious, especially the kolaches, and the couple who run it are so awesome. Customer service is consistently wonderful! They take the time to know who you are and genuinely make the start of the day great.

Just discovered this place and boy am I happy I did. Very friendly staff and the donuts are to die for. And the croissants. Holey smokes...what can i say. A definate must if you haven't before and my new go to place. Like many others, sorry i didnt try them earlier than now.

I go here for office runs, personal breakfast and my wedding. I had their donuts for my wedding, I was just expecting their original donuts but they made them extra special! They?re the cutest couple and they always make my day. Hands down best Boudain kolache ever!!!!

Holy moly that place is good. Stopped in for a treat with my boyfriend and the couple was very very sweet and funny and the donuts are out of this world. Their kolaches and breakfast tacos are also super yummy. Highly recommend and tell a friend!!

They are so nice and amazing every single time I go in there. If you want them to change a croissant or Colotchie then they'll do it right then and there. And the donuts are obviously amazing. Best place in Huntsville

Easily the best tasting donuts in town. Gary is also extremely personable and takes customer service to the next level. Nothing but good things to say about this spot, I just wish I had discovered it sooner.

Blueberry cake donuts are amazing!!

L??ved their fresh Bacon Egg Croissant, mini cinnamon rolls, lemon/blueberry glazed donut was scrumptious and glazed donut holes. My grkids had a blast and the owners are the friendliest TEXANS!!!! We stop here whenever we visit Huntsville!!!! We will be back!!!!

Their kolaches had the freshest bread and the donuts were excellent! This will be my new stop when I'm driving up to Dallas from Houston. Service is A+ as well!

The lemon blueberry, maple chocolate, and double chocolate are the donuts we always get. The service is great too! They are so nice!

Absolutely the best donuts in Huntsville! Highly recommended.

Absolutely the best way to wake up in Huntsville, a little bit of humor and sass with great donuts and pastries is exactly what we needed next to the engineering building! Now they also make the northern kolache as well as the southern we are used to.

The service was quick and the staff was friendly.

Not your average doughnut shop I walked in with my beautiful fianc?e to be greeted with the unexpected greeting of laughter and joy that fills the room with love this couple really care about what they do. So not only did they make us feel right at home and we walked in but after tasting there I like cheese and donuts and they are by far the best clutches and donuts I have ever had in Huntsville or in the world we highly recommend fancy donuts for all your cinnamon rolls Boudin Colotchie?s sausage Colotchi

The donuts made me obese

This place is AMAZING!! Friendly owners and a LARGE variety of donuts! They offer lemonberry donuts, green tea glaze donuts, boudin kolaches, wonderful breakfast burritos, delicious crossaint sandwiches, & much more! The variety makes this the best donut shop in town!!!

A delightful shop where the owners will actually remember your name. The service is always with a smile and a few jokes, and the quality is great- the croissants are my favorite, flakey and delicious.

My favorite place in Huntsville to get donuts.

The service was great and the lady who served me was sweet hence why I?m giving 3 stars instead of one. The food was very subpar the donuts felt overcooked along with the mini pigs I got, maybe I just came in on a bad day but for me it just wasn?t as good as I was hoping it would be

Kolaches are mouth watering, the lemon blueberry and the strawberry donut are next level, and the service is amazing. Easily the best donuts in Huntsville!

Perhaps the best donuts in all of Huntsville. They are. Earl Campbell kolaches are not to be missed.

Love that owner. He has huge heart to everyone! Always enjoy eating donuts and others! You should stop by and see for yourself. :-)

Pretty good kolaches, Fresh Donuts has bigger and better large kolaches but they were closed today the day after Christmas so went here and got friendly and fast customer service and is always a great 2nd best.

I love the owners sense of humor. He really makes you feel at home. Plus these are the best donuts in town.

This is the place I go for a hangover, a snack, or just a good conversation. The couple that owns and runs are good people who actually care about their customers. Also the food is great.

Very lovely staff! Amazing quality donuts and breakfast. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.

The selection is a mix of classic and unique flavors. Everything I've had has been basically perfect and the owners are great. Try the lemon blueberry.

The prices are very reasonable and the staff are super nice. This is a great donut shop with a good variety of selections. Close to the college campus.

Always have good food and prices are very reasonable. Polite and friendly service.

YUM! The owner was there running his own place, making fresh donuts, with a smile on his face. He is amazingly kind and his donuts are just perfect.
