Customer Reviews

I had some concerns when the lady just dropped my donut into a bag. I was right

This is a simple donut shop with a limited selection of donuts. The kolaches were cold but they did offer to heat them up. It was kind of out my way to get there because it was not off of the highway and that might play a factor the next time I pass through.

I is a nice place can you play pool and hang out

Great prices and very friendly service

I regret having to give you one star but the donut was grease and the coffee was awful. I stopped by here around 11 am so it was not exactly early. The coffee was old burnt and strong. I like strong coffee but not old burnt bitter coffee. This was kinda like army field coffee.

This little Doughnut shop in Taylor is Great ?? and probably one of the best ?? ??.l The Cinnamon Twist are to die for as well as the Cinnamon Rolls, warmed up ?? Mouthwatering. ???????? Definitely will be back. Sausage and Jalen cheese colaches are great too. ??

Great donuts and the kolaches are awesome. Very reasonable prices. People are very friendly. Only wish that they were open an hour later- I always get a late start to my day on my days off.

Love these people!!! This is the #1 donut shop around Temple. They work hard and serve everything fresh EVERY DAY!!! You won't find many other donut shop that do that.

The kolaches are ok, but like DAMN, yall think you could, uh, idk....OPEN ON TIME?? Aint waiting around for you mfs, yall never open right at 5, its always a few minutes late, and today somebody came from the back n said "we're not open right now," 5 minutes after their sign says theyre open? Really? Yall got no respect for peoples time. Sell me a damn kolache and be done with it, like damn yall suck. That dude couldve taken my money n brought me back a kolache but nah "we're not open"

Temple Donuts was incredible. The beautiful lady behind the counter was very warm and pleasant. I only intended to get a breakfast taco on my way back to Austin but the original glazed donut caught my eye as they appeared paler than I normally see in stores. These donuts are made fresh every day in house and they were just phenomenal. Highly recommend coming in to try the lightest and fluffiest donut you'll ever try. Kudos!

The lady was friendly but didn't give me a dozen donuts in my box. Becarful!

Donuts were fresh and delicious. We got a dozen and every single one of them tasted like they had just came out the oven. Definitely my kids new favorite donut spot!

Limited indoor seating, but the owner has the sweetest disposition & smile. It very organized and clean. Best apple fritters and kolaches around. Across from the VA hospital so it gets plenty of in & out traffic.

Love this place, the owner is Very sweet, greets ya like family. Easy on the wallet, Awesome breakfast place for a quick stop, and if your running late to work, it's worth it to stop by and get a dozen donuts for the colleagues to make up for being late.

Good food and Donut's. Fast service. Watch out for the cappuccino machine. Sometimes it don't work properly as in not enough mix but usually when it works it's very sweet. I personally fill my cup 3/4 full then top it off with brew. Good mix, tones the sugar down.

One of only three different donuts shops I will willingly go to. The staff is very nice and respectful, the kolachies are made with that just the right flaky, soft, bread. And their donuts are amazing with just the right amount of sugar but not oversweetend.

This place is so much better than Shipleys. The owner is open 7 days a week at 5am. They serve delicious doughnuts and good tacos at a great price. The shop is connected to the Cefco so it might be easy to miss. But once you find this hidden gem. You wont be disappointed.

I love this place. The donuts are so good.

Just got back from here. Temple Donuts is right down the street from me. Not only is it convenient, but the staff is wonderful and the kolaches are amazing. The owner is so welcoming and friendly. It?s always a treat coming here.

I stayed in Temple for 3 months in 2014 and ate the donuts of this every day for the lunch. The owners were very kind and the donuts were nice. That time, I felt loneliness somehow, but the shop reminds me good memory.

We used the drive thru and she was extremely helpful and nice... Not all people who work as drive thru attendance should but she was not only amazing and sweet but in the right place for her. She is a people person.

Jack and Jill are still number 1 ..... I guess they will stay there for me because I've tried 2 donut places since moving here and I won't be eating more for a while lol. This was rhe weirdest non apple flavor apple fritter I've ever had .I will post a pic of the pancake haha I guess I should've looked at it instead of asking for it while getting my coffee. Coffee was not great as I read before coming .It was ok

The staff are so kind. I love the Boudin Kolache. I take it home put some fresh rice on plate make some saut?ed onions ontop then to over easy eggs on that. Then I chow down.

I'm not a big donut saying but this place has great cream eclairs and kolaches. Everything is fresh and I always pick up some for a friend in the VA Hospital.

I really enjoy the food and service. I go there everyday but now will go elsewhere. I get the same thing every morning and when I went in there this morning they charged me double of what I paid in the past. I even said something about it and was told thats what im charged every time and thats BS.

Always always delicious customer service is always
