Customer Reviews

Friendly and fast service. Fresh donuts and kolaches at good prices.

Cool little place on Memorial down the street from me. Had some real good sausage cheese kolache that were fresh out of the oven. I think they are better than the Shipley's and way cheaper. Best Kolaches I have had in this area. On my 2nd visit I tried the biscuit and croissant sandwiches and they were great!

By far, the best donuts I have found in Houston. They are just as good the following day after purchased. A good variety and excellent customer service. The coffee is only satisfactory and is the only thing I would suggest improving.

I ordered through Grubhub and was very disappointed in my order. I ordered two ham and cheese kolaches and a 1/2 dozen mixed doughnuts. The kolaches were undercooked. The croissant was undercooked and mushy! The selection of donuts they gave me were all the same just different There was no variety at all. To top it off, they were not fresh, they were kind of chewy. I also ordered an apple fritter. It was very sweet and tasted like oil. Very disappointing.

I ordered a croissant and coffee. Employee didn't ask me if I wanted my croissant warmed up. I typically say no anywhere I go. I prefer to warm it myself, if needed. Otherwise, you end up with a tough croissant. That's exactly what I got. The taste was horrible! Don't know how you can mess up a croissant, but this place did. It wasn't edible. Coffee lid was cheap. I couldn't sip my coffee while driving without getting some on me. I thought to stop here while running errands to support a small business. Bad

The clerk promptly greeted me and was friendly and upbeat. While I arrived about 8 am on a Sunday, the selection was surprisingly sparse. The chocolate covered yeast donuts were simply ok and tasted like they had been sitting for hours. The ham and cheese croissant was interesting with small blocks of ham, not slices, but again, just average. Overall, given a 4.7 rating here on Google, I had high hopes but it was a disappointing breakfast.

I needed a new "running late" breakfast place between kids school and work. This place is amazing! I'm a cake donut fan, and these are absolutely the best in Houston. Very light and fluffy. Others get hard quickly. They have a large variety of kolaches, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast tacos too. I've only had the bacon, egg, cheese, and the taste and quality is fantastic. My coworker commented that his sausage cheese I brought was really good, and "where is this place?" As a bonus the employees are grea

Delicious food and great costumer service! Favorite place to order donuts and Kolaches.

We are really so happy this place is still going! We get breakfast tacos, or biscuit or croissant sandwiches. And some donuts! They will always custom make one if needed to match the requested ingredients. Wonderful donuts. Fast friendly service.

Great kolaches and donuts, friendly staff. I really appreciate the dough they use and drive past the chain kolache place every time to go here instead. I usually take my food to go, but I like the basic (want to call it throwback but probably just not updated) look inside.

I wanted a kolache no cheese. This was at 6:55. There weren't any and when I asked if mine were being made, the response I got was "Well yes, but it's not like they can be made in 5 min." That's not an acceptable response. Meanwhile, whomever the cook was didn't seem to be making more, but had a head of lettuce in his hands. Last time I'll go back.

Friendly local donut shop.

Great cozy little place I left my phone and had to come back for it. There were a lot of elders there and you just can't get any friendlier pleasant and funnier than that bunch. They made my day!

Absolutely delicious donuts! The best I?ve tasted and the staff was just lovely. A very special place.

Great taste but nasty customer service. I asked the older lady for my receipt and she showed frustration. I will not return, there are much much much better places!

Great donuts , good place in a hole.

Better than Shipley's!

Awesome customer service and there donuts and food are really great.

I love their assorted boxes of donuts. They are so delicious!

Very good service from equally nice people....and good coffee/donuts.

Pretty steep prices for the size of the donuts

Like this donut store as their donuts and kolaches are lighter and less sugary than the ones you get in donuts franchises

Grandparents have been coming here 30 years. Everything is great and everyone is friendly.
