Customer Reviews

Friendly staff. Donuts are huge and delicious. The croissant breakfast sandwiches are the absolute best. The house and vietnamese ice coffee are yummy and effective. Best donut shop around!

This place is a true gem! The donuts are fresh and sweet but not sickly sweet. there are 2 tables so a perfect spot to sit and drink the delicious Vietnamese coffee for a while. It seemed everyone knew this is the best place for donuts because a constant stream of people coming in and out. I can?t wait to come again!

Donuts are always fresh and delicious but the service could be better. The chic with glasses and face piercings is rude each and every time I?ve visited the store. They should consider training her better or letting her go! The owner is very kind and tries to correct the mess she makes with that nasty attitude.

The breakfast is amazing and the customer service is wonderful! I will definitely come back so I can try everything on the menu. Update: It?s 9 AM and they don?t have any donut holes! I was very upset.

I got a ham bacon egg and cheese croissant and a glazed doughnut! Both were super delicious and it was only like $6 for both

10/10! Was recommended by a friend specifically for the Vietnamese coffee & mini Kolaches & both did not disappoint! The Vietnamese coffee tastes strong but is also creamy without tasting burned like others can. The mini kolache is airy & thick & flavorful! The environment is very welcoming & clean, customer service is on point & the items i got were great! Can?t wait to come back & try more!

Very fresh n delicious? I luv there sandwiches I bring my co worker everyday? the kolache?s are soft and delicious too? I been coming for over two years now? keep up the great work the community luv your service

This is a small but amazing donut place in this area. Everything is fresh, clean, and they do your sandwiches in front to be visible. Vietnamese coffe is out of this world and!!! Do try they jalape?o kolaches, those have a small kick but are amazing and boosting with flavor.

My husband went to pick up doughnuts from here right before we left to go back ro Dallas area. Theseswere not like the typical doughnut place in North Texas. I did not expect much, but was in for a surprise. The doughnuts were much bigger, fresh, not too much sugar. I ordered the cinnamon twist, and it looked like it was made for "The Rock". Please consider opening one in Aubrey or Little Elm, Texas area.

There Sandwiches are made on the spot to order and are super fresh! My family and I come here from a 30 minute drive just for there Delicious fluffy soft donuts and there amazingly tasty sandwiches made with croissants they make daily. Best donut shop in South of down town

Came here for my first time. Overall, great aesthetics! Awesome selection of kolaches and donuts. I didn't catch the name of the individual who helped me, but she was very helpful and friendly! The good was fantastic. Very good Boudain kolache and blue berry cake. My wife and mother in law also enjoyed theres, the bacon and sausage kolache. I will definitely come back again.

Had Uber Eats deliver us some of the lightest fluffy tasty puffs of heaven. The strawberry filled one was my favorite .

This is the best Donut shop I have ever been to. It is a major hidden gem and absolutely wipes the floor with places like Shipleys or Dunkin. The donuts here are so fluffy and soft that it feels as if you are biting into a cloud especially if you get them fresh, but the true star of this show is their kolaches. I would eat these things for the rest of my life if I had the money. These things could without a doubt be a substitute for anti-depressants. That first bite into that buttery, pillowy bread is the a

Not your average donut shop, these people inside are getting down. Hard workers, really good kolaches, I?ll be regular hand down.

My favorite donuts shop near by! Awesome service, delicious kolaches and I always get a Vietnamese coffee ?? If you need to save time call your order in!

This is my favorite donut shop in Houston. They are consistent, fresh, fast, and of course delicious! Their service is wonderful. I enjoy the Vietnamese iced coffee and their traditional glazed donuts and crossiant sandwiches. We?ve also enjoyed the boudain kolaches and other treats. Highly recommend!

Love Dawn! Finally found a breakfast sandwich my picky 4 yr old grandson loves! And they open at 4am!

First time here and pleasantly surprised. I assumed it would be like all the other donut shops scattered throughout the city BUT NO! It was delicious ??

Excellent staff , always great energy, great food as always keep it up!!!! We come all the way from the sw

I ordered a hazelnut ice coffee, a kolache and a a dozen donut holes.. food was 2/5 coffee was 0/5 The donut had an off taste, and the ice coffee was made with tap water I?m sure. It tasted horrible.

My friend referred me to this place for birthday doughnuts and I have to say that they exceeded my expectations. The doughnuts were delicious and fresh and came out great for my son's birthday. The service is great and everyone is very nice. Definitely recommend this place. Awesome job!

We LOVE Dawn Donuts! They have the friendliest staff, their donuts, kolaches, and sandwiches are high quality and the Vietnamese iced coffee is incredible! The shop is always clean and the service is fast too. Highly recommend!

I'm not sure if you're not to ask questions when it's your first time visiting a place. But I made the mistake of asking if the ice coffee was sweet and was given an attitude instantly. If you would have said we use a store bought ice coffee, ok? Thank you. But to look at me as if I asked you to sacrifice your firstborn and reply with a smart ass "it's all sweet, it carmel", you don't have to worry about me returning. My first and last time here.

Food is always fresh and delicious and the staff is amazing

This place is hands down the best donut shop I have ever been too. Not up for debate. Service is always incredible and the people are amazing. Let alone the actual food. Best boudin kolache in town. Croissant sandwich immaculate as well. I?d check them out if I were you!

My Favorite Donut ?? Shop!!! Awesome environment!!! And great customer service!!!

When I tell you this place has THEE best jumbo jalapeno kolaches & glazed donuts... I'm NOT even joking. Hands down, way better than Shipley's Donuts. This location is worth waking up out of my sleep (GOOD SLEEP ??) to get out of bed & run up here to buy these. Love it, love it, love it. You must go here. Preferably this location that's on Sabo Rd.

My wife and I started coming here about 4 weeks ago. After our first visit, we can?t go a weekend without it! Best kolaches around town and great selection of drinks. The staff is very friendly as well

Their donuts are the very best without having to drive downtown to get good donuts! I literally compare all the donut shops in this area. I found that it was impossible to find a good donut! I couldn't believe it. Thank God I found this place! It's donut heaven!

This place has the most amazing quick breakfast eats. Donuts, kolaches, sandwhiches, and an amazing BLT. My daughter loves the Chai Tea.

I absolutely LOVE this place. The staff is super sweet just like their nice fluffy donuts with very reasonable prices. I love the selection they have. If your looking for a wonderful clean friendly breakfast spot it?s right here?I come very often and will continue to do so.

This is the best donut place ever. The sausage and boudin kolaches are so good. The donuts are fresh. The filled are filled. The glazed and old fashion are so yummy. They're super friendly. I haven't had a bad expiernce once, and I go often. I highly recommend this family owned business.

Best doughnut ?? place ever! They have the best kolaches, croissants ?? and donuts. The two people in the front taking orders, the lady & the man are very friendly, welcoming and sweet, they are always smiling and thank ?? you, I love ?? their attitude they treat you like royalty. The food taste so fresh and warm.

Who else is doing it like them?? No one! I have tried so many donut places in search of "my spot" and this place is it! The bread on the kolaches is to die for, the cinnamon twists are huge and fluffy, and the chocolate donuts taste like real chocolate ?? thank y'all for being open as early as y'all are ?

They bake their own croissants for their amizingly delicious croissant sandwiches! I thought that was so cool ??! Dawn's staff is very polite and friendly to their customers, no matter how busy they get. My mouth waters as they make your sandwich upon ordering. Their donuts are also fresh and yummy!

Absolutely fantastic breakfast options. The donuts are delicious, with plentiful options, and good prices. But the breakfast croissant sandwiches are my absolute favorite. They are so fresh, warm, and tasty. Love them.

I order from here often and they never disappoint! I get the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich and it?s amazing. They definitely make everything fresh and i highly recommend this place, everything from here is good!

Go here! Opens early. Delicious kolaches, breading is better than the norm. They make breakfast croissants to order so nice melted cheese and slight toasting. Fresh and delicious cake and old fashioned donut. Friendly service

Amazing fresh food! The lady is extremely nice and very welcoming. She has the best drink selection in town and my personal favorite kolache in Houston. Breakfast sandwiches are fresh and delicious. All around great restaurant and service.

Amazing experience here! Donuts are delicious

We stopped by today @ 8.50 am and got the assorted colored dozen donuts and 2 kolaches. Food was good, but we were charged $16 and change and was not given a receipt. More than what we had budgeted based on online menu prices. I like their food and will continue to order but will do so on DoorDash. They have cheaper prices on the app.

The staff , especially Mrs. Grace, was very friendly. My food was ready within minutes. I recommend this sweet spot to anyone.

Went in to get some donuts with my fiancee for the first time. The Sausage they use was excellent. Much better then Shipley's or other donut / breakfast places in my opinion. Their cake donuts were amazing. The service was great and the gentlemen even threw in an extra donut or two. Overall great experience and will return. Give them a try.

Best Donut shop in Houston!! So many options and selections. Always fresh. Friendly staff

Ordered some letter donuts for my newborn. THEY WERE SO GOOD!

Best apple fritters ever. Their croissant breakfast is delicious ??. Owner very friendly and helpful. Love it.

The best donuts on the Southeast side of Houston! They also have amazing breakfast sandwiches! I request the egg and cheese croissants and they are always delicious! I will never go to another donut shop. Family owned and always very friendly and fast! My favorite are the cinnamon or chocolate braids! Yum!

This place is the G.O.A.T.!!! They have the best kolaches!! The sausage always tastes great and the breading is perfect! They have good doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches too.

I Love This Place ! Always Polite , Clean , & Tasty !

Always come here for donuts for myself or my family. Their sausage and egg biscuits are great and I get them every morning. Always welcomed with a wave and a smile and always wished a good day from the staff. Very friendly staff. Will always come here

This place can take all of my money. They have the freshest, most fluffiest donuts and the softest super delicious kolaches I have had. I am definitely coming back

What a great little doughnut spot. The inside is bright, cheerful, and very clean. The staff is extremely friendly and they all really make you feel welcome. They have a good variety of your standard doughnut shop goodies, including large kolaches and stuffed croissants. Superb!

Great sandwiches and kolaches! Good amount of juices available too and they treat you with kindness! If you look like you want to ask questions or curious about something, they are attentive and friendly!

I hadn't been there in a couple months but I decided to treat myself one morning. I see a new face working behind the counter. Per usual I place my order... Or at least try to. Before I can finish my second work someone walks in behind me and the man working breaks eye contact and goes into a full on conversation with the woman behind me. I wait. Eventually the woman behind me tells him to help me. He does. However before he gives me my order he takes hers, puts it in the microwave has a conversation longer

The best customer service and donuts in town! If you haven?t tried their cream cheese donut yet you should they will make you wanna slap yo mama!

One of the best on the south side of houston. Always have food early in morning unlike another donut shop that?s near. Great service also very kind and nice.

Love the donuts! Super delicious even after I had bought a couple for church and time passed they were still soft and delicious ?? highly recommend ????

Excellent service, quality, and prices! Try the sandwiches.

Definitely the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. A hidden gem that everyone should know about!
