Customer Reviews

I found some impressively designed donuts for kids that feature characters like the Cookie Monster and Elmo. While the flavors were disappointing and tasted bland, the kids absolutely love the designs. I?ll keep purchasing them for their enjoyment, but I won?t be getting any for myself anymore.

Ham and cheese kolache were super delicious, the donuts were on point, highly recommended

There is something for everyone. Great service you can sit down to eat.

Very good, went early morning and all seemed fresh

Nice little donut shop with a drive through. The donuts were good at $13 a dozen. I didn't have coffee but I look forward to trying it here next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Yummmmmm. The blueberry cake donuts are wonderful! Hubby likes the chocolate glazed. Cinnamon rolls and twists are also great. Love 'em!

The place smells like heaven on earth. And the food is even better. I recommend all of the food but, the cream cheese and strawberry danish is hands down the best danish I've ever had.

Clean place, fresh donuts and friendly people. Sometimes they are slow so be patient and if I could ask for one thing to improve in the quality of the donuts is to put more in the filled donuts. Today my donuts probably had a half teaspoon in each donut.

Very slow this morning, as it seemed that one lady attended the window and the lobby customers. Friday seems to be a busy time to get morning donuts, so it will be best to get her someone to help with that. I waited twenty minutes in the car line and still waited for her to come to the window as she tended to others inside and you can't go around the other cars if you choose to leave it. People are trying to get to work. Just something to consider. Otherwise, I have had no other problem with this location.

They have a such a variety! The lady was so sweet and patient with my indecisive toddler. We sat down to sing happy birthday to him, and when she noticed, she brought him a tray of donut holes drizzled in chocolate & sprinkles, and told him happy birthday with the biggest smile on her face. It made him feel special.

Great selection of donuts!?!

Great breakfasts. Like Krispy Kreme, not Donut Box.

I am always greeted with a smile when I come in! Beautiful place and people! Fantastic service!

First time ever to visit here and the lady was very fast and sweet my son says try the poptastic donuts

Love the donuts and kolaches! Coffee both times I was there tasted a little burnt like it was on the hot plate too long. I always go to a Shipley's when I'm in south Texas though.

For a place that is supposed to deal in doughnuts and be open at 5am it didn't have much of a selection. They need to get the staff at place in time to produce a sellable products. After tasting one lemon pocket I don't know what to say. All of our doughnuts and baked products had customers coming from miles. I guess I won't be driving here again. Try a real bakery to get doughnuts if there are any any more.

1 star because your parking lot is not easily navigated. 3 spots and 1 Lane for drive thru caused many people to have to back all the way out of your lot. Please create an exit lane to keep your clients safe.

Wide selection, delicious

Absolutely love the donuts and kolaches here. They're hot, fresh, and taste great. It brings back fond memories of the Shipley Donut stores in Houston

My donuts was greasy. Kaloches is the worst, small weenie and lots of bread. Everything is over priced. Get better deal at other place.

It's the only place we get donuts. We stop by every Monday, and they remember our order.

A wonderful place that has the best and most delicious donuts in the world. I literally will not eat at another donut place.

Staff was super freindly, place was immaculate, super clean, nice bathroom, doughnuts was great, execpt my long john was a little skimpy on the Bavarian creme

The service was warm and friendly. The donuts and cinnamon rolls were warm and delicious.

Donuts for a Saturday morning, very nice lady that took my order

For the third time I get a chocolate filled donut with hardly anything in it. I guess the word "filled" doesn't mean much to them.

Excellent doughnuts and kolaches as always. Wish we had a Shipley closer to home!

Always my go to. I'll take any day over Krispy Kreme.

Taste just like from my childhood, but still too much sugar on my butter roll.

Fresh Donuts. Friendly service. Great price.

Incredible, delicious donuts & amazing customer service.
