Customer Reviews

I moved back to the area about 4 years ago, and I?ve been on a quest for a great apple fritter and have been pretty disappointed so far?until today. I grabbed 2 apple fritters for me and my boyfriend (also new to the area and on the search for a good one), and we agree that this is the best one in Corpus Christi. I don?t eat stuff like this very often, but when I get a craving for a donut, I will go out of my way to return here. The store was very clean, and the owner was very friendly.

We get donuts here a lot!! They are so friendly and welcoming, and the donuts are fresh and delicious. Our kids and their friends NEVER have a complaint with King's Donuts. They have re-opened the lobby which is a great thing because now you can do the drive-thru OR walk in and pick out your donut

Everything here is so delicious. Locally owned spot with great customer service. However, the drive through is a tad bit tricky but the shop is clean. The kolaches are top notch. 10/10 recommend

Had it for the first time and loved it. I ordered 2 dozen donut holes and a dozen mixed donut. Me and my little family rate the whole thing.

i love having this place in the neighborhood! the donuts are great and the people are always super nice!

Me and my older brother went to go get some of these donuts and the lady at the front is very kind. We ended up getting a dozen donuts and when we got back to the car we tried one. Soft, and it isn?t super sweet like other donut places. It was perfect. One of the best donuts I ever tried. ???

Great donuts as well as breakfast kolaches.

Sweetest owner and the tastiest donuts!

Best donuts and kolache's in Corpus!

Great donuts and friendly service! P.S. - Apple Fritter is the best I've had ??

Excellent. We will be going back. I used the drive though asked the lady I want 12 donuts. Told her to pick them for me and she did a very go job of it. The donuts are not overly sweet. There just right and the kolahis are go also. The office was good. The lady offered to put the creamer and sugar packet for me and that was good because I was driving and I usually wind up making a mess.

Donuts tasted fresh but were just ok. Have to ask for everything, no intuition eg bought a coffee and that?s that, no offer for cream or sugar. When requested it was given but then have to request a stirrer/spoon, like what am I suppose to mix it with, my finger..... and at the drive through so sitting there waiting each time for her to come back to the window to request.

Favorite bacon egg and cheese bagel place

Great friendly staff, donuts tasted great but always went thru the drive thru. This time went inside and got a few glazed and chocolate. I saw several flies and gnats feeding on other donuts in the other casings. There is no cover to keep them away, my wife went into the restroom and told me they keep their supplies sitting in the restroom floor, the donut boxes and donut mix is stored in the restroom. Wonder what it looks like where they make the donuts at. From what we saw, overall disgusting. Yes the d

My favorite go to donut place by far. Always great and friendly service and they are willing to fill empty donuts quickly if they are out of your favorites. I live in Bishop and will drive to this shop every time I want great donuts. Wish they were open longer.

Always friendly and quick when you roll through the drive thru. Only place in town that I know makes boudin kolaches. Get there early because they sell out quick! (I don't know why I'm even telling people this because they are amazing and I don't need competition to nab some in the morning, lol). Enjoy!!!

Have never gone inside just used drive thru, but the donuts and kolaches were amazing. Suprised by how much better the donuts were comapred to other donut shops, heb, and bakeries. Had many people asking where i got them from when i took 2 dozen donuts to work. Will definitely be stopping again.

Nothing special here, small portions, high prices

Very clean, great looking and tasty donuts, croissants, and a hot French Vanilla drink. Recommend stopping by their driveup window or come inside and grab a seat. Relaxing fresh facility!

I drove by this place and was sucked in by the name KING DONUTS! I must say it's a little misleading. You would think that a place with this name would offer a LARGE variety of donuts. I have yet to find a GOOD place in Corpus Christi that is dedicated to selling Delicious donuts. This place offers maybe a few options but the donut I had was no different than anything I would pick up at HEB or Wal mart. They lack taste and are not "Fresh".

We bought a dozen and a half the other day. The lemon barely had any filling and the donuts are a bit heavy. They are ok, not my favorite.

Any day, up until 3pm. The donuts are good, the kolaches are good the service is impeccable and friendly... they offer phone orders drive thru and walk in. And did I mention the donuts are AMAZING! Two thumbs way, way up!

This donut shop is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. They are ALWAYS fresh and the staff is SUPER NICE very consistently.

Love the ladies that work there. They are always so sweet and friendly. She even made my son a birthday donut cake. It was amazing! I wish I could show a picture of it.

Great Service, Price, and Variety

Quite simply even if they didn't have the best donuts and kolaches in town (they do) I would still go to them because their friendliness and customer service is top notch..!??

Order sprinkled donuts. The glaze was missing is some areas. The sprinkle were on some part of the donut. The donuts didn't taste fresh. Disappointed
