I came here on a Friday morning it was a little busy but the staff greeted everyone with big smiles. I order a jalape?o sausage with cheese and it was delicious. The chocolate donut was also good. Definitely coming back again!
Bacon egg and cheese croissant made me jelly belly very happy smiley face :)
I've never had a more perfect glazed donut. Finally I found it. The size is nice and large. The light, golden color. Texture and flavor are perfect. And a nice, generous glazing.
Wow best donut shop I?ve ever been to. Cream/jelly filled donuts are freshly filled to order. Nice staff and friendly interior. I wish we had donut shops this good near me.
Everyone putting good reviews about this place . Came to try them out yesterday 04/24 for the first time in the morning . Order 2 kolaches and moment I was paying a gentleman was moving some kolaches he was prepping on a tray sneezed and cough on all of them . That?s a big No for me . Threw kolaches away and went to another stand down the road .
There may be better Donuts...but I seriously doubt it, because the ones being produced at this are all outstand..The staff is friendly and most helpful..They wait for orders of filled donuts and then fill them with desire filling...Their Blue Berrie donuts and muffins are ment to be fought over,both are superior to any I've tried..Location is easy to find,and sparling clean. If you haven't tried this on on Clear Lake Blv.You're miss out on a memorable experience. .
First time visiting with my kid's. The man/owner I believe was very hospitable and welcoming. Love the paintings, food and service.
I ORDER SOME KOLACHES AND THEY WERE AMAZING. IF YOU LOVE BOUDIN THIS IS THE PLACE TO GRAB YOU THE BEST BOUDIN KOLACHE. THE REGULAR KOLACHES ARE AMAZING ALSO. THE SAUSAGE IN THE KOLACHE IS NOT SO SALTY. THIS IS MY PLACE TO COME AND GRAB SOME AMAZING KOLACHE AND DONUTS.
Great food kolaches was hot and ??good. Just too small for the $2.50 ones
Hands down the best donut shop in town. I work in the restaurant industry and I tend to be critical of things like quality of food, service and atmosphere. Riley?s astounds me every time I go in. The food is crazy good, better even than the gourmet donut shops in the area, their kolaches don?t get nearly enough credit, and the service is always so helpful and friendly. I don?t have enough good things to say about this place. It?s family owned and operated by the nicest couple you could ever hope to meet and
Why post hours when they open whenever they get there. When they do open they have nothing ready except for croissant sandwich from day before.
Always great service. Good coffee and great selection. Love their Apple fritters, croissants, and muffins. Always fresh.
Never fails people, food and service always top notch never fo anywhere else for my donuts
Stopped in for the first time on a random Thursday to get me and my cleaning team some donuts & let me say....the service....it was amazing! I love some great friendly staff, especially in the morning. The donuts where good & the boudin kolaches where greatttt! I enjoyed this hidden gem for breakfast and amazing friendly people as well.
I love this place. Locally owned, they always know how to treat their customers. Every time I go in there I feel as though I could honestly be part of the family. Their donuts are by far my most favorite I have had. My children love their donut-holes, and their Kolaches are pretty awesome, too. If you want to support a local small business, definitely go here for breakfast!
The staff were really friendly and helpful. They have a very wide variety of donuts and pastries, mostly sweet but there are some savory options.
We always stop here when in the area. We always get great service and we love the donuts. Absolutely love the friendly guy who takes care of us each time, he has such a great voice too lol
I rather enjoyed my time at Riley's. I ordered two sausage cheese kolaches, a cup of coffee, and a donut. The donuts were a little unique and definitely fun to eat, but the kolaches made with croissants were what sold me. They were delicious, filling, and not something you could purchase elsewhere. The owner was very friendly and chatty with each of his customers, and he made me feel very welcome when I decided to dine in for an hour and a half. My bill was $9, which meets my expectations for having a meal
Really, really good donuts. Smiling and friendly faces working at the counter. I'm shocked this donut shop doesn't generate more buzz because the donuts are excellent. Homemade honey buns, cake donuts, old fashioned & sour cream donuts, fritters, you name it. Definitely somewhere I will return again.
Hands down the best donuts I have ever eaten. I am from Southern California, which is where the standard is set for best donuts in the country. The glazed donuts are like putting a sugary pillow into your mouth. The apple fritter is the perfect blend of crunchy exterior, chewy/moist dough, and proper ratio of apple chunks.
We love the donuts, kolache, and breakfast sandwiches here! If you are looking for classic donuts, but want more variety than Shipley?s- come here! Mel makes great donuts & is consistent in the quality. My current favorite are his breakfast biscuits- the biscuits are perfectly flaky and buttery with egg, cheese & a meat choice (bacon, ham or sausage). There are no wrong choices on this menu!
The McGregor family only goes here for kolaches ?? and, there?s a reason! Every Sunday we get a fairly large order for the youth group, and even though we commute to Sugar Land, we always stop here. The church loves them and now anytime someone else needs donuts for their Sunday school or event, they ask us to pick them up for them because they?re better donuts and kolaches than anywhere in Sugar Land. The staff is also incredibly attentive, helpful, and will go out of their way to take care of us? even wh
I've been here a few times & I think I will make it my new spot for kolaches. It's a about $1.30/kolache but they are very good. I don't know the guy's name but he always serves me & is SO nice; he is what makes me want to come back. It's also a cool place because if you are an artist, they will hang your art up inside which I think is a neat idea. Definitely recommend!
There are a lot of places to get donuts in town but I will go out of way to stop here. The staff are incredible and the kolaches are the best around.
This place is amazing. Mel knows many of his customers by name and often has their order ready before they get to the counter. You can tell he loves serving customers even more than making wonderful donuts and kolaches.
What an amazing variety of breakfast options! Breakfast croissants, breakfast tacos, breakfast biscuits, kolaches, donuts, muffins, cinnamon rolls, fritters, and danishes! They are ALL incredibly delicious but my favorites are the bacon, egg and cheese croissants and blueberry danishes! ?? The owner and staff are very friendly and are strong community supporters! When I take Riley's into the office, my co-workers RAVE about how tasty everything is! Riley's breakfast is ALWAYS a hit! They also have ev
Highly recommend. Great food and friendly service. Only thing that prevented 5 stars is that I am reserving those for the #1 Kolache place in Clear Lake area.
Great doughnut shop. Coffee is good, they keep real half and half around and their kolaches are good. Mel the owner is super friendly and makes me feel very appreciated every time I come in. Would definitely recommend it.
We stopped by for breakfast on Saturday and were just amazed by the hospitality. I will say that the croissant breakfast sandwiches are amazing.
Some of the best donuts and kolaches in the area. You can tell the owner takes pride in what he does. He's super nice and seems to have built a relationship with his community. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite first thing in the morning. The kolaches are fresh and they have quite the selection.
I'm actually still in the parking lot losing my mind about how good this place is. Their jalapeno cheese koloches and glaze donuts are something to die for. The people who work here are some of the friendliest as well. One of my favorite places in all of Houston.
The donuts are great, the pricing is reasonable, and the service is fantastic. This place goes out of its way to support local youth groups, and always has a smile and a hello whenever I stop in.
OMG to the spicy Boudin kolache served here. This place's hospitality is off the charts. They are clean, food is consistently fresh, and always have smiling faces. If I could give them 28 Stars I would! We go there so often he knows my husband and son by name. Also you can buy the art off the walls. Love love love this place
I grew up on Mel's donuts and kolaches. After leaving the Houston area for college and a career, I've never found a breakfast spot that can come close to Mel's. It's nearly impossible to find anything resembling a Texas kolache outside of Texas, and donut shops with the sort of variety you can get here on the Texas gulf coast are rare. And you won't find any other breakfast joint in the world that offers the enthusiasm and customer service that Mel does. The man deserves a Michelin star. Unfortunately I
OMG!!! I am not into pastries much or do-nuts but this place makes two things I really enjoyed and out did Simpley's kolaches. The Jalape?o sausage with cheese kolaches are @mazing, felt like i was eating a croissant kolache--- super light, and their boudain sausage (kolaches looking) was very good. Must try even if you might think the boudain one sound weird for a Do-Nut shop.
I liked this place the first few times. It isn't the best donuts or kolaches just decent but it is on my way to work.... Last week I talked to the owner about ordering 2 dozen donuts. He said yes just call. Well I forgot to call and when I got there they had everything I needed made except I needed 6 chocolate frosted with sprinkles for my first graders that have been testing all week: I asked if they could quickly add sprinkles to 6 chocolate iced donuts (the donuts were made it was literally a matter of o
The owner, Mel, likes to keep local artists? work up for sale, including my own. I?ve actually sold art out of Riley?s Donuts because of Mel?s help!
Wonderful quality! You?re always welcomed with a friendly greeting and personal attention. My favorite thing is their apple fritters, but everything is fresh and delicious as well.
Went here, like 2 o clock due to a sweet tooth and the donuts were still soft . I got the twist and the chocolate glazed ! Have to spend 3 dollars though if you?re using a debit/credit card
Nice Owners, my wife went to buy donuts for her students and forgot her money. They said just come by and pay us tomorrow. You don't hear of that these days. She said she will always buy donuts from only Riley's.... May God Bless Riley's Donuts
Swung by there and picked up some sausage and cheese kolaches along with a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant, service was quick and friendly, both kolaches and croissant were good, definitely recommended
Hidden gym these are good quality donuts it's taste soo good ?? Me and my coworkers loved it
Get the bacon egg and cheese croissant!!! Best apple fritters in the world. I eat here everytime I come to town to visit. Great service!!
Pasadena has a love affair going with donuts. Riley's sells sugar crack to early morning customers, including me. It's bad for you, but we keep buying it. The coffee is adequate and I keep buying it too.
I love their kolaches, their donuts, their breakfast sandwiches, their breakfast tacos, and the service. Oh wait, I guess that is everything. I love everything about this place! The spicy boudin kolaches are my favorite, though.
Everyone is very friendly! They have the BEST fritters, crispy on the edges and not too doughy! Good coffee. Love them
Good selection of kolaches, sandwiches and donuts. Friendly owner and staff. The bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich is a little pricey but so very good.
Highly recommend this place. From the BEST DONUTS!! to the AMAZING STAFF!! My daughters favorite stop for donuts. The owners are very sweet as well.
Great service, great food! Had a bad experience at big al's, drove 1/4 mile down to Riley's and had a great experience! Will definitely be back. Very friendly, great customer service! Thank you
Best donut shop ever ever ever ever! Have not been able to find one that?s even comparable in the slightest! Everything is good here such fluffy glaze donuts
Shun the corporate donut! I only buy my donuts from Riley's. The support the community so much by letting student hold fund raising car washes all the time and the donuts are great!
The friendliest donut shop I have been to in a long time. Selection was pretty good and the donuts were very yummy. I will be back for sure.
Always served with a smile. Love their sausage/egg/cheese croissant! Very friendly! Trynit, you?ll come back!
I have been stopping by here on and off for more then 10 years. And have never had anything bad everything is great and I just love the fact that soon as you walk in you get a good morning and he still knows my name .
Enjoyed my potato egg and cheese breakfast taco, the salsa that came with it was good as well. Recommend the strawberry cream cheese kolache.
Great place to get donuts & kolaches! My personal favorite is the spinach & cheese and boudin.
Super sweet people! Big hearts! I personally met them at petco but they have been nothing but kind, and their donuts are delicious!
It's a great place but they do not make fresh food once they are out there out
The staff (Melvyn) is the best, he is very polite and makes you feel very welcome. The best kolaches and Donuts in Houston!
This place is fantastic!! We ordered several tasty treats. I love the jalapeno kolaches, personally.
One of the best places to grab your breakfast! The customer service was great! I felt welcomed & cared about.
Great, friendly service! Coffee is really good too!
One of the nicest establishments. Everyone smiling and the owner works to leave his patrons names. Awesome doughnuts and kolaches.
Nasty black hair on my kolache and all they do is give me another one. Last time I go back, told all my coworkers.
this place is and can be described with onr word.... perfect
Great selection, very pleasant experience. I will definitely be making this a regular stop for weekend breakfast!
Amazing place. Super nice owner always gives me free donuts. Delicious food. 5 stars.
Felt welcomed as soon as I stepped in, kolaches are a must!
First off, can't go wrong with a friendly staff. Quick service is also a plus. And, of course, good donuts and kolaches (boudain FTW)!
Excellent doughnuts and kolaches. Friendly staff. We go every chance we get.
Dont have a sign at the door saying you close for 1 but u close before than. This is the second time this has happen. Definitely wont be coming back
Breakfast tacos good And glazed donut too Not greasy tasting Hats ??off I recommend it
Warm welcome, vibrant energy Beautiful artwork Yummy donuts

Great guy wonderful person great service wonderful food always fresh the best in this area
Good fresh food. Enjoy the glazed donuts. Delicious yum
Great donuts but you really need to try the loaded croissants! Ask for Mel he will hook you up.
The customer service is excellent and the food is outstanding especially the Boudin kolaches!
Great food with the BEST customer service! Highly recommended to anyone hungry!
Always get great food and excellent service. A great place to get breakfast.
Mel is great! We get kolaches, Crescent sandwiches, and donuts.
Great place. Food is always good and the owner is always welcoming.
Fresh donuts, friendly service, and a place for local artists to show their ware.
Super friendly, family owned donut shop in Clear Lake, Texas.
Good donuts and regular size kolaches. Not so much for the larger ones
Great jalape?o kolaches! Nice people!
Great food, good selection, good prices, great service.
Great friendly service with good food at good prices. Clean place
