Customer Reviews

Best donuts in Austin! They always recognize me when I come in and they?re always so kind, it makes my day. The donuts are always fresh and their kolaches are also genuinely the best I?ve had in the city. I never used to be a donut person and they turned me into one, love them!

I have been coming here for years to get donuts and the owners are incredibly nice. The shop is always really clean. The donuts are amazing and they have Kolaches without cheese. You will want to get there early to get a full selection of the donuts!

Staff is super friendly, they recognize me since I go so often and say hello. Love the kolaches and donut holes. Sausage, cheese jalapeno kolache for me and a small sausage and cheese kolache for my dog, delicious and soft. Perfect

The best donuts, kolaches, and breakfast sandwiches I?ve ever tasted. Everything we tried was soft, moist, and tasty. We visited the store for breakfast 3 days out of a five day trip because it was so good and had something for everyone. The owners were friendly, also.

Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for breakfast. Seemed like an endless selection of donuts. Breakfast sandwiches also available. Great tasting food.

Food is delicious! Croissants were flaky and buttery, chocolate icing was thick perfection, and coffee was fresh, hot and strong. The service was exceptionally friendly and fast! The cost was reasonable! 10 out of 10, would visit again.

Really really good don?t place.

Colorful and delicious donuts! The lady attending me was super nice ??. Good prices

Recently moved to Georgetown from East Riverside. I had to stop by and visit our favorite Kolache spot. I used to stop by and buy a bunch for my office, my daughters school, and the Fure Department near by. Monica and Her Brother run this place and do a great job at it. Definitely stop by and grab some Kolache's. Donuts and Breakfast Sandwiches are on point too.

My favorite kolaches in town, by far. The soft, ever-so-slightly sweet yeast rolls are a true star.

Incredible donuts! Glazed was perfectly moist and fluffy. The cinnamon swirl was packed with flavors. I'm not a buvarian cream fan, BUT I can say SH Donuts has won me over. Definitely give it a shot, family friendly staff and clean. Will go back again

Staff is super nice. Everything is tasty. Donuts - 5/5 Kolaches - 5/5 Sandwiches - 5/5 You can?t go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is sooo fresh and delicious. The donuts, the kolaches, and the sandwiches.

The staff was so friendly and efficient. The prices were super reasonable. The basic kolaches and kolaches tastes almost homemade

Great Little Spot. Fresh Donuts, Nice Staff, Decent Price

always delicious and the staff are always kind, been coming here for years and never disappointed. a true gem in the neighborhood ????

Glazed donut connoisseur here. SH Donut provides a TOP tier donut, rivaling only Krispy Kreme. They also have great little breakfast tacos (bacon/sausage egg and cheese), croissants and kolaches. HIGHLY recommend - I go here just about every week

It is one of the greatest places on planet earth. Lovely staff amazing food everything about the store is incredible. Been goin here for the past 3 years

Excellent kolaches and donuts, super friendly staff.

Great simple donuts served by people who care about their craft. **Update #2** Still coming weekly. We love it. The orange donut is still the top of my list. My husband has ventured to the savory side and loved the filled croissants!! I'm also now obsessed with the raspberry filled donut. **Update** We've been coming once a week for the last year. It's something we really look forward to every week. The donuts are consistent, warm if you get there about 6:30am, and the service is always friendly and cust

Donuts are great and the coffee ? is fresh every time. Very friendly. They seem to have the right recipe for a positive experience.

Best donuts in town! The strawberry and the orange actually taste like fruit! The maple logs are so flavorful. The sweet iced coffee is impeccable. We come here every week and Monica is always smiling and puts us in a good mood for the day.

This is my favorite donut place! The woman I always see there (not sure if she's the owner) is so sweet. The kolaches and donuts are delicious. Their Thai Tea is fantastic. Love this place!

Friendly staff, clean kitchen and great tasting kolaches!

Orange glaze was so good. Never had one. Service was great. So kind. The tacos are extra smol for $2.75 Solid coffee ~ idk but I haven?t found a donut shop that fills it to the top

Nothing like a sausage and a pastry, so I?m glad I had some time on my hands to walk in and grab some grub/coffee. I am satisfied, but I think what had made it all better were the two employees on staff who had nothing but an inviting warmth to them. It?s Sunday, the 17th of December, and I wasn?t able to grab their names but I did want to give them a shoutout. I will be coming back.

Their food is great, and the cleanliness is immaculate! The service is very fast and friendly. It's super impressive that the staff speaks English, Spanish, and Cambodian.

Wow, the buttery croissants and soft glazed donut holes were hands down better than Shipleys or Dunkin. Prices were very affordable.

Gorgeous donuts! The bear claw's insanely good with gooey and crispy apples inside (unlike some places that use some weird jam syrup). We got great, hot, breakfast burritos too. I'd honestly go there just for breakfast or lunch. They're super friendly, matched the energy we were at which was cool. They really went the extra mile and definitely made us want to come back!

Super yummy donuts! Normally donuts have a slight taste of oil to them but I can?t taste it in these! The staff are super friendly and their facility is very clean! Definitely check them out!

We go almost every other day my kids love getting donuts here.They are so sweet and so welcoming when you enter the door. I love when we walk up to the counter and we are asked how we're are doing and how our family is. The smiles they share are so sweet Thank you.

Little mom and pops spot, everything is always fresh. The staff and owners are so nice every time I've been in there, would definitely recommend.

This is my favorite place in my neighborhood. The donuts are incredible, always fluffy and perfectly glazed, and they have so many savory options too from kolaches to buns to tacos. What really makes it for me is how sweet they are. They're always so happy to see you and they usually toss in a few donut holes just for the heck of it.

My daughter and I absolutely love this place. The donuts and kolaches delicious. The staff is always so nice and sweet. Hands down one of the best donut shops in Austin.

Kolaches and donuts are great. Apple fritters are my favorite and this place has the best I've ever tasted. Service is friendly, professional and efficient!

I absolutely love this donut shop and am so happy I live near it! The donuts are amazing, a couple chews in and they just melt in your mouth. They are made exceptionally well! I am a huge fan of their croissant sandwiches and the cinnamon twist is the best I have ever had. You can really taste the cinnamon. I have gotten donuts from here for work a couple times now and they are a huge hit. Much better received than any donuts from chain shops like dunkin or krispy kreme. I highly recommend trying this place

Great food. I love swing by in the morning and grabbing a quick bite to eat. But I guess I am going to have to go elsewhere. The panhandling and begging is crazy. Poeple begging me for food and money as soon as i pull up. I don't think I will be back. Poeple sleeping on the side walk. Man this area went south quick.

My friends and I came here every morning that we were in Austin to get some coffee, donuts and kolaches. They were so good so we had to come back each time, 5/5!!

Very good kolaches and croissants although there is a limited selection of donuts. There is a minimum 5 dollar order for card purchases and the drop coffee is a bit steep, however , I always enjoy my selections there and the friendly service of the couple that owns and runs it.

It is a little place that open in riverside. They have really good pastries. But the tacos is a little expensive for 2.50. But overall, it is a nice place to sit down and spend some time with friends. I get my pastries from there. And they warm it for you, which is super nice.

the croissant sandwiches and apple fritters are the best! very welcoming atmosphere. mornings can?t get any better than this. thank you!

Had an egg, bacon, potato, cheese breakfast taco; apple fritter, and a chocolate glazed old fashioned donut. My offspring had a breakfast taco, bear claw, and donut. We both were groaning with joy. Absolutely delicious. The young woman who served us was charming and helpful.

Hands down THE best kolaches and croissants. Thin flaky fluffy bread. SO good!!! And the woman was working alone and was so sweet! 10/10 go get some!!!

My I live in the Quad apts next door and when my roommate said she was walking to grab donuts I didnt know this place was here and so food I wouldnt be driving to airport for Mrs Johnson's everytime I want them. She got a dozen of variety of fruit filled and they were so good that I are at leasthakf a dozen that day. I highly recommend this place. I just wish they were open a little later. I'm not a morning person at all but I'll get up just to come grab some. This time itll be more than a dozen for my room

?? friendly staff ?? clean, neat and brightly lit store ?? delicious kolaches/tacos/croissants/donuts ?? prices for breakfast items clearly labeled in front of food items. very convenient ?? accepts google/apple/samsung pay ?? bear claw actually looks like a bear's claw! ??

The boudin kolaches (ridiculously hard to find around here!) are pretty much perfect. The white iced with sprinkles is the best I've had. Great quality, friendly service. So glad we found this place!

Super friendly people. Fantastic breakfast croissant sandwiches with real egg and bacon. Perfectly soft glazed donuts. Extremely affordable. 5 stars.

I love this place. They are so friendly and my family loves the donuts. After reading the reviews I?ll get a coffee next time! I so appreciate their kindness and delicious treats.

the staff is positive and very sweet! The iced coffee is delish and can't be beat! Best place to get your morning started on riverside (highly recommend)

Stopped in today after work to get some donuts Bc our neighbor has gotten us a bag of donut holes and I was so in love with them that I had to go check out the other donuts and holyyyy cowwwww the maple was incredible!! So soft and perfect! Can't wait to go back!!

WOW ?? BEST DONUTS OF MY LIFE! Seriously fresh, melt in your mouth donuts! I went around 7:30 AM, the shop is clean and the donuts are definitely worth giving this place a try.

The chocolate raised donuts were amazingly soft, airy and delicious. The man who helped us was very friendly and welcoming. We will forsure be going back!

I'm so happy I found this place. Everything tastes so good but what sold me is the friendly customer service!! New favorite place to stop for breakfast!

I went in this store to purchase pastries for a homeless person . However , I really saw a lot of people in and out, while I was there. Business seemed to be booming .

LOOOOVE ALL OF THEIR ITEMS!!!! This will forever be my favorite kolache place. So sad they were closed for a month to visit their family, can?t wait til they open again!!!

One of Best breakfast spots in south Austin, nice staff

The lady here was so nice. She even threw in some donut holes we didn't order. The store was very clean inside.

Such a sweet and caring owner, he obviously strives for his shop to look and operate the best that it can. Definitely will always choose this place over others.

This place is amazing. I love the boudain kolaches and the plain orange glaze donuts are a work of art.

Apple Fritter is INSANE. Ordered after a lady in the restaurant commanded me to. I'm so glad she did. Put it in the microwave for 5-6 seconds and let it take you for a ride.
