Highly recommend this place!! I?ve been coming here for a very long time and I?ve not been disappointed. Their Breakfast sandwiches are the best. Donuts are delicious their glaze is just perfect!! The blueberry donut is a must! Along with everything else of course. Talk about BIG BACK we have tried every single item they sell lol. For a good price and great service this is definitely your mom and pops donut place to go.
Extremely nice and kind people. Always welcome you with a warm smile and hello. Have been enjoying this place for over 5 years now. The wife and I love the sausage, egg and cheese croissant.
Very good service, super nice family-owned business. Bought a dozen croissant sandwiches and got a bunch of free donuts and donut holes! Speedy and tasted very good, they were huge! Good for the price, would definitely come back!
Found by word of mouth ?The donut shop across from the strip mall they?re teaching down you need to go? A mom and pop donut shop in Oak Forest. Service excellent food tasty my partner is flexitarian enjoyed a breakfast sandwich, also the donut holes they gifted nothing vegan
I?m a big donut fan and these donuts did not disappoint! They have the best blueberry cake donut I?ve ever had and the donut holes and glazed donuts have the best icing. The kolache bread is to die for. They also gave us extra donut holes and a glazed donut for free! Will definitely be returning!
Great food and great service. The donuts taste so fresh and the kolache had a great meat to bread ratio. The kolaches are huge (see below pic w hand for reference) The service was quick and friendly, they even threw in some bonus donuts. Thank you Pappa?s Son ??????
Service was good. Donuts were ok. Kolaches, I won't purchase again. I didn't taste the flavors I ordered. Jalapeno and cheese. No cheese at all was in my kolache.
Very solid donuts and kolachies. Nothing out of the ordinary, but great quality to price. Very friendly staff as well which is always nice. It sounds like they throw in a free donut pretty often if you buy a good amount
Such a cute place with the sweetest mom and pop and son! Their kolaches and breakfast sandwiches are a SOLID 10. They work so hard, always leave them a little tip!
Delicious, filling, breakfast sandwiches, kolaches, croissants, biscuits, donuts and donut holes. Best I ever bought. Competitive pricing. Courteous staff. Friendly and cooperative owners and staff. Even offered to heat my sandwich and gave me a sample of donuts. Free parking lot. Easy to see from street. Clean and beautiful presentation of products sold.
It was my First time there. Love it!!. I got a blueberry donut. They are so good. The kolache are so good to. The bread is like buttery and soft. Really good. Kolache ??. And I got a free glazed donut. When I took a bite out of the glazed donut, I was like ??. Its so soft and like its was kind of creamy. The taste of them are freshly made. Not old pastry. Nice place. Go get one!!! ???? I got the boudin kolache with cheese. It was so so so good. THE BREAD!!! It's really soft. Everytime u buy something they
Great donut shop! Getting harder to find boudin kolaches! Donuts are super fluffy
Best donut shop in Houston. Fabulous breakfast sandwiches and wonderful donuts. A large variety of kolaches and everything is delicious. Low prices are backed up by free donuts with purchase of kolaches or sandwiches. My personal favorites are ham egg and cheese crescent, and bacon egg and cheese crescent sandwiches; both come with double meat. They even accept credit card payments. This shop has my highest recommendation!!
The staff here is so friendly and the kolaches are the best in the area! We happened upon this place and so glad we did!
Last minute stop for a big group breakfast and they did not disappoint.
Shipley?s who??? Their dough is dense, airy, and tasty!!! Kolaches are satisfying with a proper size sausage. A true mom and pop with owners working the front. We always get a little freebie. Which is the cherry on top. Doughnut are the best! Tip: doughnuts sell out basically by 10am on weekends, probably on weekdays too but I?m always there around 8am. You Deserve A Doughnut ??
Found this place when taking my son to school one morning. Love the donuts and kolaches. Delicious! Thank you! Ou koun !
The donuts, kolaches and breakfast sandwiches are delicious, good portions and their staff is extremely friendly - I always recommend to new neighbors!! The breakfast sandwiches are on light croissants and have bacon, egg, cheese falling out of them and I always end up saving half for later because they're so big and filling. I bring my kids here a lot because they have a nice seating area outside and more often than not, the staff will give my kids some free donut holes which I think always makes them fee
Get place and very great workers always lot forward to their cake donuts and kolaches
Best blueberry cake donuts around. Love supporting small business and this place never disappoints. Great donuts, huge kolaches and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Can't beat their price!
I really love this place! I moved away from Houston for two years and when I got back, I was happy to find this place is still as great as it has always been. They are so sweet and always give you extras with your order. Please support small mom and Pop businesses like Pappa?s Son Doughnuts!
Staff is professional, polite and friendly. Shop is always clean and inviting. You get perks with your order such as; you order a dozen donuts than you get a bag of donut holes. You add on another pastry or breakfast sandwich than you get 2-3 extra cake donuts. I'm glad my husband found this place.
Their breakfast sandwiches are full of bacon. I always seem to walk out with extra donut holes or donuts.
One of my favorite stops to get Kolaches in the morning for the family. The bread they make there is amazing and gives thier food that next level of flavor. The owner's are always so kind and they give extra donuts with our food as well. This will always be one of my go to breakfast shops.
Awesome selection on kolaches, boudan, donuts, coffee. Great addition to the neighborhood. Always give you extra donuts and open EARLY!
This has become one of my favorite breakfast places to go to before work. I get a sausage sandwich and a kolache. Both are great and there is usually a little bonus in my bag.
I ordered the donut holes and chocolate sprinkled donuts today and they did not disappoint! I didn't notice until I came home but they also snuck in a free glazed donut as well! It's a super cute mom and pop shop in Garden Oaks/Oak Forest and I am sad after living here all these years, that I just now discovered it. I look forward to trying their croissant sandwiches and kolaches in the future!
This Mom and Pop donut shop have the best glaze and twisted donuts that I have tasted here in Houston ??
I just went here for the first time today because I saw it pop up in my neighborhood awhile ago and had been meaning to try it out. I will never go to Shipley's again. My boudain kolache was amazing. My husband had a croissant sandwich which was huge and really good. We brought home a few donut holes for later and they were incredible. The lady at the counter even slipped a free glazed donut in the bag. Prices are really great too!
Went for the first time yesterday morning since I was running late and didn?t get to make my kids breakfast. We got the jumbo kolaches and well they were a hit! My son asked us to leave early today so we could pick up a kolache before school. I even bought some extras for my coworkers. The owners are the sweetest. We will be back!
Definitely a Mom and Pop operation but of the best kind! ALL their pastries are made in house! (They open at 4:30 AM!!) I particularly like their boudin kolache, But, their donuts, and bear claws, and apple fritters are delicious. You can buy a BAG full of goodies and not break the back either! Don?t be put off by looks of this place- they are really nice folks with a great product!
Love it here!! very kind, no attitude, and always looks clean. Came here about 4-5 times and will be coming here again. The Kolache?s are amazing to me, donuts nice and soft, and Donut holes are honestly better then some shipleys
Great donuts and even better kolaches! This place has the most delicious boudin kolaches! They're not only tasty, but they're big enough to be a meal. To top it off, it is run by a very sweet couple. Stop by soon and #supportsmallbusiness
I must say these are the best donuts I've had in a LONG time. I bought one of nearly every kind. They were soft and fresh. Each had a unique flavor (unlike Shitleys where everything tastes alike! ). The blueberry cake donut also had blueberry flavor in the icing - loved that! The maple tasted like maple, and so on. Other donut shops could learn from this place. They were all moist but not greasy (unlike Krispy Scream which are saturated with grease!) My only suggestion to improve would be more cinnamon
Went in to try a new place for me. And to my surprise ALL the prices were very reasonable. And the Asian lady behind the counter was so nice she even put a little something extra in my bag. They have the best customer service I have ever seen. I would highly recommend this place to anybody and everybody even our president. The kolaches are slap your momma good.
Solid local donut stop. All varieties are spot on. Croissant sandwiches are on point, Kolaches are room temp and they will nuke them for ya.
Great kolache and donut place! The dough is soft and buttery, perfect for a morning pick-me-up.
I grew up going to a mom and pop donut shop, so when I found Pappa?s I was thrilled. Their donuts, kolaches, and croissants are second to none. Their boudin kolaches are amazing! This is our go to donut shop!
Great croissant sandwiches, nice service. I was treated to a cinnamon bun and OMG ... it was the most delicious piece of pastry I have tasted in a long time, it was crunchy on the outside, soft inside, sweet but not sugary. Thank you ??.
This place is great. You get more than your money's worth. The boudin kaloches are the best. Their sausage kaloches and donuts are excellent as well. I don't believe you will leave disappointed. A great local owned business and an even better value.
Amazing kolaches!!! The owners are the sweetest!!! They have amazing prices for their kolaches and they still gove you free donuts ?? Will always come here!!
Okay heres my two cents about this place. I had accidentally stumbled across this gem. I thought this was Maria Tacos and More. 08-05-2018, I walked in at around 545 this morning. This was my first time here. Lets just say, the food selection and taste is WAYYYYY BETTER than Shipleys. The donuts and the donut holes are to die for. They were fresh and well glazed. This is comfort food. Everything was fresh. She even gave me a couple donuts to try. I ate everythanng before i could pull out the parking lot. L
Everything is is delicious! The staff is really really friendly, the lady even gave us 5 free donuts ! Amazing prices and great food, definitely recommend! Thank you !
We stumbled on this place after Harvey. Great quality, great price. Donut holes are my thing. My guy loves the kolaches. It is our go to on Saturday mornings.
Just love the place. I bought 5 and the lady is so sweet and kind she gave me 3 free. For there kindness, I leave a small tip in there tip jar. Just love there kolaches.

Excellent Donuts. Fluffy, just the right amount of sweet. These donuts taste like they came from someone who really cares about the quality of their product. No Joke. Highly recommend.
Weekend go-to for carry out breakfast with my kids. The breakfast sandwiches and boudins are the best. Super sweet couple and great service, definitely recommend!
Was looking for a good crossiant breakfast sandwich nearby and this place had it. Also got some freebies. Food was delicious

Great donuts. I cannot recommend them enough! Great selection, prices, staff. Hidden gem for sure!
Great donuts and kolaches (meat and/cheese). They sometimes throw in some free-bees. Go early before they sell out of your favorites
