Customer Reviews

I have never give a 5 stars review so fast! I was passing by and I saw this place, decided to go get some donuts but instead I received not just delicious donuts and an egg ham and cheese kolache but the best customer service ever, supper kind and respectful couple, delicious donuts and kolaches and a clean place. 10/10 ??????????

Hands down some of the best kolaches I?ve had. Their donuts are amazing too, my favorite is the blueberry cake ?? Chris and his wife are great people with wonderful customer service. Lifelong customer from now on!

I love this donut shop! They easily have the best donuts and the best kolaches! I recommend their frosted blueberry cake donut. They also have wonderful croissants with a good selection of drinks AND GREAT customer service! Highly recommend.

My coworker brings their donuts to work all the time and we love them! Even after sitting out for a while they still taste amazing.

What a nice respectful man ever ?? I loved my kolaches, and the place was super super clean ?? definitely going back !

My kids and I over the last two years have tried lots of donut places between Barker Cypress and Morton... this one beats them all. The doughnuts and kolaches are hands down the best. The donuts aren't greasy at all. The kolache dough is AMAZING! It is now "our" donut shop!

owners are great people and they make the best donuts/breakfast biscuits ever. my personal favorite is the sausage egg and cheese biscuit. if you want a daily donut shop to go to, this is the one.

Delicious donuts, kolaches, drinks and teas. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

The donuts here are the freshest in Houston. You can buy them today, and they still taste fresh 3 days later. Even the oil they use doesn't leave a rancid taste. They do a fabulous job serving up fresh and tasty donuts. But the best part is that they have reasonable prices for their food! I would spend almost 50% more for a dozen at Dunkin.

Been here a few times to try out all their options. Very good. Their bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits are great. Plain cake blueberry donuts are soft. I would say that their sausage and cheese kolaches taste better than Shipley's.

This is the absolute BEST donut shop i have ever been to! The owners are very welcoming they?re always so kind and just a complete joy when you enter the shop definitely recommend 10/10. I don?t know what they put in their donuts it has to be love because they never and i mean never miss a beat!

So happy to have found this place, they are amazing people and everything they have has been outstanding. We love the spinach bistro, but again have tried so many other items with no complaints! Their prices are great as well. Will definitely keep coming back!

Picked up a jalape?o sausage kolache and a cr?me filled chocolate bar from here. The chocolate bar was absolutely delicious, it was quite big I wish I would have had control and split it in half to enjoy the next day. It really hit the sweet spot. The kolache was also great. It had a good amount of spice and the breading wasn?t overly sweet. The lady at the front was very friendly.

You wont find a better mom and pop shop donut place around 5 star kolaches

Boudin and jalapeno kolaches was amazing. Bavarian filled donuts,simply awesome. Very nice service. Thank you!

Most recent visit was yesterday morning, Friday 05/29. Not a long wait and had my favorite old fashioned chocolate donuts as usual. Very clean place! Wish there was one just like it closer to Katy area. Is there?

Best local donut shop! The bread for the ?kolaches? practically melts in your mouth which is how I love my sausage & cheese ?kolaches? to be. The donuts are also delicious. And the staff/owners are very friendly. I will definitely keep coming back.

Great apple fritters, better than Shipley donuts. They only make them on Fridays and it's $2 each use to be $1. Nice girl.

Great donuts and kolaches! Honestly, my wife and I were skeptical considering they sell donuts AND fried rice. Any skepticism was laid to rest once we tried their donuts and kolaches. So good! Their blueberry cake was the be I've ever had, and their others were very good as well. The kolaches have sweet bread and very tasty sausage. Also, it was crazy cheap. Go try it!

Great tasting donuts at a great price!!! This place has great customer service as well and gets you in and out quickly! Great place to stop on the way into work if you live north of I10 on barker cypress.

Love the boudin and the bacon egg and cheese. Great customer service, always smiling and friendly so early in am. My favorite spot.

Mom & pop donut shop conveniently located on Barker Cypress. They have low prices, a great variety of donuts, kolaches, fritters, drinks and other flavorful treats.

Great donut shop, real simple. we got a couple of kolaches, and while the girl was heating them up she grabbed us a couple of free glazed donuts! Great spot.

Best chicken fried rice. You won't need the soy sauce.

Love this place and they have the best boudang kolaches.

Good service. I like the croissants. Yummy!

It was ok. Not Duncan or Shipley's.

Soft bread kolache .. sausage kolache is one of the best

The texture of the donuts remind me of crispy Kreme!

Wish they made long John donuts with white icing.
