Customer Reviews

Wonderful donuts and wonderful ladies! Easter morning and stopped in? they went out of their way to ice some donuts special that weren?t in the case, while waiting forgot about a huge chunk of our order on the counter. I made it off with the iced donuts which they threw in a bunch of free donut holes. When I called to let them know I was over 20 mins away and realized I left most of my order they voided my whole order and told me not to worry. But seriously the donuts we did get were great. Sad I didn?t get

Some of the best donuts and kolaches I?ve had since coming to Texas. Wish they had delivery options since it is out of my way, but someone brought them to work one time and since whenever I?m in the area make sure to stop by. The service is great and the flavor has yet to disappoint

best donuts i?ve ever had in my life!! super light and fluffy and delicious. great prices and very nice staff too

The donuts were subtly sweet. And attendant lady was nice and gave me a nice dozen of donuts for $9.99. But I noticed I got $11.23 instead. It could be the transaction fee for using credit card. I should?ve asked before I left. ?? Maybe I should pay in cash next time.

THE best donuts in Round Rock. The sour creme cake donuts are my favorite, I also highly recommend the breakfast tacos, croissants & kolaches! And there's never a line around the block like some places. Hidden gem that we visit every week.

If you?re looking for a good wholesome bite in the morning look no further! We LOVE coming here for their breakfast sandwiches and blueberry cake doughnuts! Quick, easy, and done right. Thank you for having such a great selection and QUALITY foods :)

Great Kolaches. Sarena?s came highly recommended by locals and I?m glad I came. The bacon, egg, and cheese Kolache was my favorite

Long time fan of Sarena's. Fresh and warm and great selection. Shop needs a deep clean.

Clean, very nice staff, and GREAT apple fritters! Way better than Round Rock Donuts in my opinion.

Amazing donuts and really good Kolaches. Was fast and speedy. Great local spot with good prices.

The food is very delicious, best donuts in the us and the workers are extremely kind

They are cookin over here! Best breakfast tacos ever!

We've been comimg here for years. Very good stuff, I definitely recommend to anyone living in Round Rock.

No frills donut and breakfast taco joint. Been getting tacos from here for 25 years. Apple fritters are my favorite donut.

Sarena?s Breakfast & Donuts has been a staple in Round Rock for years, and it?s about time I write about it. I love the kolaches here and the fresh donuts. Breakfast tacos are made to order. It?s a busy place on the weekends but not that bad. Get some goodies from Sarena?s.

A truly cloudy experience...in that the dough is so perfectly soft (as a cloud). Demanding comparison to Round Rock donuts, this place is great competition (superior sprinkles and donut holes), and the kolaches are great with ground sausage and scrambled egg. Try a white-cream-filled donut with powdered sugar.

Staff is always happy to see you. Tacos are fresh amd hot

Absolutely the best donuts on the planet!! They are delicious and melt in your mouth. You have to grab your favorite and a glazed donuts or three. Other donuts are not worth eating anymore!!

Best donuts ever. The cinnamon twist is amazing. The breakfast tacos rock and the salsa is delish. The service is stellar. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff and good selection. Kolache and breakfast sandwiches looked good but was looking for donuts. Nice alternative to that place down the road when you want a classic donut. Both items I picked are very good.

The glazed donuts and kolaches are great! Donuts are priced at $0.99.

This small mom and pop donut shop is conveniently located just a block off the highway in a strip mall. We were originally planning to go to Round Rock donuts but changed our mind after seeing their long line. Sarena?s donuts was an unplanned and pleasant surprise. The donuts are very good and the service was great. Would recommend to anyone with a sweet craving!

I have been a Sarena's customer for years. Best cinnamon rolls in town!

Good donuts but not out of the ordinary. Really friendly and efficient staff.

IMO best doughnuts in town and the breakfast tacos are great too.

Through word of mouth a friend highly recommended I try Serena?s? boy, am I glad I did! Truly the best thin crust, Italian style pizza I?ve ever had in Victoria and just in general in a very long time. The mushroom and ricotta pizza was perfection and the crust was impeccable! Amazing vegetarian options! Can?t wait to try more pizzas and hoagies! WOW! I am so happy I found this gem of a restaurant!

Quick service, fresh food and decent prices. Glad I finally went there and will definitely be back!

These donuts are the real deal! We loved everything we tried, and the folks at Sarena?s are so nice! We will definitely be back soon.

The apple fritters are seriously otherworldly. I don?t think a better one exists anywhere on earth, and believe me my husband and I have tried them everywhere. Our family also tried a few different donuts (chocolate glazed chocolate, sour cream, and blueberry) and kolaches which were really good. Make sure to ask for the kolaches to be warmed up. Service was great and they were very friendly. Prices were extremely reasonable.

A nice little mom & pop shop! Great breakfast place. Great prices and delicious food. Me and my pals use to eat at donut 79, because it was simple and good while also be in a good easy spot to traverse to. Well after they closed, we were sad and needed a new spot. Well they rediscovered this placed and introduced me. Super delicious. The donuts and the tacos are my favorite thing here. Definitely worth a stop, and service is nice and quick. I'd recommend giving it a try if you're in need of some good brea

I really like their breakfast tacos. You can either order from the menu or build your own. The kolaches and donuts are also really good. Staff is friendly and they have seating for eight. A good place to go to start the day off right.

This place is amazing. Get there early for fresh warm donuts. The staff was friendly and answered all of my questions. Great prices and delicious donuts.

We love this old school spot. The coffee is the best around, and tacos and donuts are 10/10. You can?t get any better. Absolutely perfect.

I don't really get this place... maybe I ordered the wrong thing. I got a jalape?o sausage kolache. It was a cold hot dog wrapped in the standard kolache bread. I took one bite and threw it out. Also got a blueberry cake donut. It was so over-colored, but lacking in flavor. So blue, yet so bad. Maybe it was an off day, but I came at 7am so figured things would be pretty fresh. I'd say hit up somewhere else if you're needing a good donut shop.

If you like Mom and Pop great donuts this is your place in Round Rock. Best sour cream donuts in RR. Love the breakfast tacos.

They have the best breakfast tacos!! They are made fresh so call ahead if you aren?t able to wait. This spot has been one of my favorites since moving here!

Love this place, have been coming for years! I always love to get the kolaches for people that haven't tried them at work and school, and everyone always agrees they are the best in town. The donuts are delicious and fresh and the prices are incredibly reasonable. My favorite menu item is the sausage, egg and cheese crescent, though. I'm literally staring at my clock right now, waiting for them to open so I can get some of their fantastic food in my mouth. Recommended to anyone in town, or from out of town.

We showed up about 10:45-11:00am and the shelf of donuts as you walk in was almost completely empty. Now , I gave this a 5 * rating , it very well could , and probably should , be a 4 * rating. But let me explain. . . We are a family of 4 and all got large coffees ( made fresh for us so we had to wait a minute ) all got breakfast tacos, all a different way . Every single one of us loved it. I also want to mention the 2 donuts we did get were also beyond delicious. SisterNlaw got a blue berry one and mysel

Love this place! Family owned and operated. It makes me happy to see their younger kids helping out on the weekends! I like that they are instilling a good work ethic in their children! The service is exceptional! The sour cream old fashion donut is my all time favorite! I have never had an old fashion as good as theirs! When you get there on a weekend morning it is packed! Line out the door.

The breakfast tacos here are fresh and homemade. Expect a line if you visit on a weekend morning, but don't let it turn you away -- it's worth the wait! I'm looking forward to trying their kolaches, too!

This place is great!!! The donuts are fresh with a lot of variety. I got the sausage egg croissant, my husband got the sausage egg cheese kolache and they did not disappoint! Will definitely be back!! ??

Amazing place went as a kid and they would take great care of you even adding extra donuts would recommend coming for donuts especially the kolaches

We moved to round rock recently and have been trying a new donut place every weekend?Sarena?s is the place we compare all others to! So yummy, very friendly staff. Best kolaches I?ve had so far, and I love love love the sour cream donuts. I?m still trying to find a place in town that sells a buttermilk bar (Sarena?s, could you give it try??!), but other than lack of that specific variety, Sarena?s is really really awesome.

These donuts were different and great. She seemed to know everyone that was ahead of me to order while I was waiting. Not the same old donut place, a good spot to grab donuts and other breakfast goodies.

My absolute go to place for cinnamon rolls and donuts for the team! Trust me they're worth getting up early for.

Sarena's is my favorite place for kolaches. My family has been going there for 10 yrs. Tremendous owners who care about their customers and make us feel at home. On top of that the food is high quality I might stop in there today. Gino and family

Really delicious donuts and kolaches! The kolache buns tasted like they were buttered. Friendly service

Trust Me? BEST BREAKFAST TACOS in town !!! Family has been coming here for years and they never disappoint!!! Exceptional customer service. You get family vibes everytime you walk through the doors ??

I absolutely love this place! The best donuts I've ever had and great breakfast tacos! They are super friendly! They know me by name and just make you feel very welcome! You will not be disappointed!

LOVE their tacos! They're always made fresh , hot and delicious and their salsa they make is so good!! Their donuts are on point as well and the wait for tacos isn't long at all. They are super friendly every time I go !

A must place to visit when the kolache urge hits! Very nice folks.

the breakfast tacos, particularly for me the chorizo egg and cheese, are prepared fresh as you order (yes folks, that of course takes a few minutes, patience for fresh food), generous portions and sooo tasty. today I had a fritter for a the first time, so crispy and awesome (hint: if you don't want a fritter that's actually sweet, you probably shouldn't order one)

I don?t post a lot of reviews, but I had to. This is my 2nd time here since moving from illinois and these are the BEST breakfast tacos i?ve ever had. Granted, I?ve been in the Round Rock area for 9 months now, I?ve been trying to find those amazing breakfast tacos Texans always talk about. Usually they?re not that much different than from back home. THESE ARE THOUGH. The Chorizo/Egg/Cheese breakfast taco is out of this world and the Egg/cheese & Eggs/Bean/Cheese are my fianc??s favorite vegetarian option.

I was craving an apple fritter. I left with 6 breakfast tacos, a dozen donuts and 2 fritters. All for $25, which included a tip. So super cheap. The tacos are huge. They stuff them. Unfortunately, they're flavorless. Lots of egg. Not much sausage. American cheese. That's a big negative for me. The salsa had heat but not flavor. The apple fritter was delicious. The service was good, and the wait wasn't terrible considering they were full. I haven't tried the other donuts yet. I got sour cream cake and some i

Great kolaches, best we've had locally since Donut 79 changed hands. My wife is fussy when it comes to Kolaches( which is fair, gotta be worth the calories) and she LOVES the Sausage cheese and jalapeno Kolache. Bread is just right consistency and nice flavour. I tried a Apple turnover for the first time today and the pastry was THE best. Sweet with crunch, and the apple filling was delicious. Be prepared for a wait in line, this place is popular with the locals in the know.

I have been going to Sarena's for about 10 years now. Their food is consistently good and fresh. I especially like the breakfast tacos that are cooked to order. Favorite donuts are the holes and apple fritters. The family running the place has been there a long time and are nice and friendly.

My fam loves this place for breakfast tacos and donuts. The owner and his wife are super sweet and always give my kids free donuts when we go there on their bdays (tradition). They have Covid precautions (dividers at checkout) in place still so it's super safe for everyone. Kolaches are quality!

Lots of yummy things. It was my first time in there so I needed some time to think about what I wanted; then I waited very patiently for someone to be able to come back around to help me. No problem. However, when it came to actually helping me, complete attitude. Snarky and unnecessarily rude. I understand it is busy but there's no need to be like that. To the point my friends who I came in with said something to me when we left. Lovely shop, but based off that, will go to other bakeries in the area.

I came in pretty late in the day, but they had what I was looking for. The thing I picked up that will have me coming back is this square kolache. The kolache dough and sausage, but with scrambled eggs inside and about the size of two normal kolaches together. So good. The apple fritter was good too. And, it was late, so they tossed in some free donuts which my son appreciated for dessert.

Great place for breakfast. Donuts, kolaches, and breakfast tacos. Good selection of cold beverages too. The breakfast tacos are made to order so they are fresh and tasty not microwaved like some other donut shops. Limited seating and there usually a line but it moves fast.

Just tried this spot. Very very good donuts & kolaches. The cake donuts are the best I've ever had! The sausage egg & cheese croissant was delicious as is the bacon, egg & cheese kolaches. Definitely added to my list for a quick grab and go breakfast! Highly recommend.

I love these donuts. They don't leave the distinct after taste that most other donuts leave. The interior looks like a regular strip center donut shop, but it's clean and the service is great. Great donuts -- I wish I lived closer to here!

Been coming here since I was 5 and now I?m 21. Older man retired and now his daughter takes care of the place. The food is AMAZING, and they?re so sweet. Love this little shop. ??

This small donut shop is definitely a great find! All of their donuts, croissants, and kolaches are excellent, and I'm sure it's because of how awesome their dough is. The earlier you go the more they have available, since most of their products are made that morning.

Hi there, If you are reading this you cared to know more about this place. I stopped in here to grab some food for coworkers and my self. The Quality of the Kolaches and Donuts were better than expected. They were all fresh and everyone loved the food. I would suggest this place over any of the chain competitors in the area. Thanks for the awesome Breakfast! /Tommy

Better than round rock donuts!! Where do I start... the apple fritter is what I?ve been looking for for a long time! Little crunch, lots of apple and cinnamon. Everything was delicious. The cinnamon twist is so soft and delicious!! Can?t believe it took us so long to find you!

If you're from Round Rock or surrounding area you know about our famous "Round Rock Donuts" just down the road, but Serena's is a close second to being a classic Round Rock staple. I am 30 and have been coming here since Highschool! Always friendly service with fresh donuts, tacos, and breakfast sandwiches. 9 times out of 10 they throw is a complimentary goodie that never goes unnoticed--thank you!!

Absolutely amazing food, great service. My family and I have been going here for years and we try to stop by once a week for sandwiches before school. Never has taken longer than 20 minutes to get past the line, order, and leave. Normally on week days around 8, we're good in less than 10.

I used to go here for breakfast every day for a few years when I worked in the area. That was a decade ago, and their longevity is a testament to their food and friendliness. As many have said, their kolaches are awesome. The best kolaches that I've personally had, alot better than Round Rock Donuts. I've never really been a donut lover, so I can't comment about many of their sweets but I used to get their bear claws often also. The breakfast tacos were my staple every morning. I'd get 2 or 3 bacon, egg, a

I rarely, if ever eat anything in the donut family, but I found this little family owned shop by searching Google maps and am so happy that I did! I arrived in the nick of time before they stop making breakfast tacos. They very nicely let me know about the cutoff time but were still happy to accommodate, yay! Since I didn't have cash, and because they have a $5 minimum to use a card, which is very reasonable, I bought a croissant, an apple fritter and a maple donut cake. My favorite, by far was the apple f

Hands down the best kolaches (sausage and cheese style) I've ever had. When family comes to town these kolaches and bbq are the overwhelming requests. I've even bought, frozen, and shipped them back to the west coast a number of times. Super nice folks, great products, and very affordable. I've never had a bad experience here in the last 12 years.

The Taco's are MASSIVE compared to other places. I ordered 4 thinking I would eat them all, I made it through 2 before I was full. The eggs are well cooked and not runny. The bacon is crisp and thick. For $1.65, you can't go wrong. There was about a 10 minute wait for the tacos to get made, but well worth the wait. The doughnuts are very tasty and fresh. $0.60 per doughnut is cheap! I highly recommend the doughnut holes, it was like 2.00 pe dozen

Hands down, the absolute best kolaches in town! I've been going here for years. I love that they take the time to learn returning customers' names. It really makes it feel like your neighborhood donut shop.

These are the best donuts around. The tacos are really good too. Staff is nice, prices are very fair. Have been going for several years now and it?s always delicious.

Front of store needs a remodel. Actual donuts were pretty good, I would just say if you are looking for frosting and sprinkle donuts? they did not have a selection. They had to make them. Need to have more frosting covered with rainbow sprinkles for kids. Jalape?o kolaches, can?t really taste the jalape?os.

Best cake donuts hands down! Love their kolaches & glazed too! We go early & never have a problem! Closed Monday's- male at counter excellent always very pleasant!

We stopped there this morning for kolaches & breakfast tacos, and it didn't not disappoint. The kolaches were delicious, and the tacos were bomb....The sweet man at the counter is so friendly & really nice he even gave me treats to take for the road since we're not from around. Thank you!!! ????

One of the best donuts and kolaches I've ever had 100% better than Round Rock Donuts in my opinion donuts and bread are so fresh not like Round Rock Donuts where in the beginning they are fresh but after 2 to 3 hours they become sterile Serena's definitely has great ingredients for a yummy treat

Open very early and their tacos are pretty good Editing my review for 11/9/2024 they are reopen again after remodeling if anyone sees this! Google maps still says temporarily closed

Love this place. They make your tacos fresh and they are always good. Everyone is super friendly. I left there a little happier than I was before I got there. Highly recommend!
