Customer Reviews

Food is great. But you MUST pay attention. The ladies are very nice but one does not understand English that well and my order is wrong EVERY time, when one lady takes the order. Kids love it and food is good. But 80% of the time I either don?t get everything I asked for or the wrong item.

Yesterday, May 2nd morning. I asked for for 2 Egg & Cheese croissants and a donut to be packed. When I returned home, all it had was 1croissant and a donut. I tried calling multiple times on the number they have on Google, but no one picks up. I understand this can be human mistake, but at-least have the phones working. Its more about I had picked food for 2 people and its disappointing to find thats not what it was supposed to be, but after reaching home.

I love it best donuts place ever they remember my order bc i always order potato burrito

Great and professional customer service and their kolaches are top-notch... Definitely a community/ neighborhood staple.

My favorite shop in the area. I am not a donut person but I get the kolaches often. My favorite is the spicy boudin kolache. They also have Prime hydration drink. What's not to love.

I come here at least once a week. very yummy and fresh. the workers are very sweet.

Closest and best donut shop by our new home! Definitely come here 2-4 times a month. Great selection and all delishh

Been coming here for the last 25 ever since I was a kid. This is the only place I will eat kolachies from. There is something about the bread they use and the little sausges that is just better than Shipley and l other donut places I've tried. The donuts are good too, light and airy, and not thick and stiff. They are melt in your mouth donuts. Always fast good service, it's been family owned by the same family for as long as I can remember.

The doughnuts were amazing. Nice crisp outside and fluffy moist inside. The maple was one of the best I've had and the chocolate is really good. The koiaches were delicious. I wasn't

This place used to be amazing. But the flavor and quality have gone down while the prices have gone up. Things taste and smell off now. It wasn't like this before. I've been coming here for 25 years. It's unfortunate because the workers are so sweet and kind.

Normally I would rate this bakery as a 5 star (pre-pandemic). Kind, friendly staff. However, the glazed and chocolate iced donuts are smaller than they used to be and not tasting as good but same price. The glazed donuts actually have an unpleasant after taste that wasn't there before. Didn't order as many as normal this time and glad I didn't. Also disappointed that the staff ARE NOT enforcing customers wear masks or even asking them to put one on. That is a THUMBS DOWN during this pandemic and one that st

We've been in the area almost a week and have been here 3 times already. San's is by far the best donut & kolache we've had in both taste and quality. The variety is great and the "specialty" kolaches blew us away. Highly recommend!

Lovely little bakery. Great kolaches and donuts. Always happy friendly staff working

Picture perfect doughnuts, kolaches, and croissants that melt in your mouth! Family owned and operated so you feel welcome every time you visit. I have been visiting for nearly 20 years. It will be worth your time to see why. Enjoy!

This place is my aunt's favorite donut shop. I live in Southeast Texas, so I visit this shop when I visit my aunt. No complaints here. The people are always attentive and helpful. The store is clean. The donuts and such are phenomenal.

I?ve been coming here for years since I was in Elementary. I?ve tried Kolache?s from other places but, there?s are the best. And there doughnuts are so fluffy I love this place.

I really wanted something savory without meat, the man was super kind and offered to make me a croissant with double egg and cheese and it is super yummy! Everything here is great and they've always been so nice! Thanks sam's donuts! Now i can eat a savory breakfast with no meat!

Popped in and got a dozen assorted donuts. The prices were very competitive with the other donut shops in town. All were very good, except for one jelly filled donut. Idk what it was, but it had a very bitter, almost chemical like taste to the jelly. I immediately spit it out! The rest of the regular donuts were good. Hopefully, that was just a one-off problem, but next time I'll just get the regular ones.

I've been trying to find a great donut place and so far have had no luck. So I decided to try Sans. I feel bad for writing this review as the workers there were so friendly but wow I could not finish my donut or donut holes.. They had a taste like acrylic powder!! I even gave a donut hole for my husband to try to see if I was crazy and he said the exact same thing! Weirdly enough they are next to a nail salon so I wonder if that had anything to do with it. Needless to say I had to throw them away.

Friendly people and really good donuts! I like to get the same donut each time I go. A few times they were out of my favorite, so they told me they started making more of them just to be sure they would have one when I came. That's taking care of your customers. I love this place.

The store was very clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the selection was superb! I was not expecting a whole row of kolache flavors and croissants. They even had a few varieties of egg sandwiches. I will definitely be going back!

Yummy fresh donuts and meat kolaches. One thing they have that many don't is the double chocolate cake donut. We love those, so this is a great place for us. They have a wide selection and a drive through, which is nice.

LOVE THIS PLACE !! I've been coming here for well over 15 years and they have always had the best donuts in town. better then any other place you can go to !

I?ve been coming here since I was 8, so for the last twenty years, and it?s been the same kind women running the store. They have the best kolaches ever. I make a point to come to this store over all others.

Been coming here for years and I always look forward to the delicious food and friendly service. There is a drive thru available but I always walk in. The kolaches always hit the spot!

I?ve been coming here for absolute years. I?ve never had better and their kolaches are to die for. Kolaches from anywhere else are too dry. The warm sweet buttery moist crispy dough from the kolaches here are delicious!???? Don?t even get me started on the donuts! I don?t go anywhere else for my kolaches or donuts. This place is the best.

This is my go-to place near home. All standard fare, but done right! I'm partial to their croissant items. I prefer to avoid the "sweet" items.

I took a couple of teenagers around noon. The service person greeted us as if they had just opened. Shop floors and display cases were clean! We will return!

I refuse to get donuts from anywhere else. The staff is always very nice, the donuts are always good and the prices are reasonable. Ive never had a bad experience here and i can tell the difference when i get a donut somewhere else

Great donuts and kolaches. Staff is always as friendly as can be. Have been going here for years, and will continue to for as long as they're open!

"Freshly made." Best describes all items they sell. Too many others in this line of business sell frozen or several days old. But don't get there too late in the morning. They sell out fast.

I have grown up with these donuts. They are my entire childhood. This place serves the best donuts and kolaches that I have ever tasted in my 17 years of life! When in doubt...go to San's!

Very good variety of breakfast type stuff, donuts, kolaches, cinnamon rolls... Mmm. The staff is friendly and very affordable prices. Some of the best I've seen

Best donuts in town. Super nice staff. Great sausage cheese rolls.

Picked up some Donuts last weekend; the donuts and kolache we had were just ok. Most disappointed the staff was not wearing maks/face covering.

haven k?s a stupid vocal-minority troll! with no disrespect, who eats a ?savory breakfast? without meat? said no one ever. pfft!

Best donuts in town. Don't live nearby anymore but I'll drive past multiple other donut places to pick them up from here.

I stopped by for the first time this morning. Great donuts at a great price. Recommend stopping in if you need a quick breakfast.

If this is the same place, I used to come here every morning when I was a little girl and get kolaches. Best I've ever had, even about 15 years later.
